Private Beach Steps to the Beach.

The cottage is a member of The Gordon Beach HomeOwners Assn offering private beach access with a soft Westerly breeze and rising lake water temperatures. Only a 75 minute drive from Chicago and a 90 minute drive from Naperville. This beach front cottage offers the beautiful sunsets of the summer and the clean sandy beaches of Eastern Shore of Lake Michigan. Our 3 bedroom 900 square foot cottage has been the owners weekend retreat until 2008, then they converted the cottage to a rental. Situated on 5/8 of an acre this heavily shaded property offers open space of lawn to play baseball or croquet, or to just sit on the front deck, drink a cold lemonade and enjoy the warm lakefront breeze. The stairs to the beach are fifty feet away where you can situate yourself on the expansive private beach area (patrolled on weekends to keep strangers off) or sit on the public community beach. The private beach is an association beach shared by Gordon Beach families. We have been using this site successfully for 13 years. When comparing properties in this site, check the property address on Google Earth (not Maps) to ensure that the owners description matches the proximity to the Beach or lake front. Most do not match up. Our kitchen was recently updated along with new living room furniture. The second floor has a built in Queen size bed and custom bunk beds with a master suite bathroom and shower. Our beach chairs and umbrellas are always new. We welcome the privilege of hosting your family or group.
