Lakefront Cottage on Beautiful Stony Lake

Relaxing 3 bedroom cottage located in a prime location on "all sports" Stony Lake with spectacular views. Watch the sunrise from the balcony or the private, sandy beach right in your backyard. Dock your boat at the dock or use the paddle boat, sailboat, stand up paddles boards or kayaks which are included with the rental to explore Stony Lake. Enjoy swimming, playing in the sand, water sports or fishing off the dock. Create wonderful memories with family and friends while enjoying the cookouts on a new gas grill, campfires, or floating down the river into Lake Michigan. End your day on the 10x30 deck or the beach with your beverage of choice and watch the sunset. Our guests will surely enjoy the newly added, full bathroom as well as the updated family room furniture.

The cottage is located on the south side of Stony Lake which makes access to local attractions such as Lake Michigan, Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Michigan Adventure, golf, horseback riding, bike trails, or a quick trip to the store very convenient. Ludington, Pentwater, Montague, Hart and Whitehall are all within 30 minutes.

We loved the family-friendly waterfront that suited all our needs, from teenagers to 80 grandparents. The sunset views were wonderful. We also enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed, light and airy kitchen/dining room. The S’mores supplies were a very nice touch. We had another wonderful Stony Lake stay and enjoyed visiting many of our favorite spots again—Stony Lake Inn, Cherry Point, Pentwater, Stony Lake Stables, Woodland Market, and, of course, the Big Lake beach and Stony Lake channel.

Our family had a wonderful time at the Lake House. Tom, our host, was very helpful with any questions we had and responded quickly. When we entered the home, there was a beautiful welcome basket with wine and and all the fixings for s'mores! The kitchen was very well stocked and we found everything new needed. There was a lovely jar in the bathroom for "things you may have forgotten" - such a thoughtful gesture! Very comfortable beds, too We especially enjoyed the easily accessable, beach - shallow and sandy. This would be very nice for families with small children, however we adults thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and floating in the warm shallow water There were paddle boards and kayaks available, and our daughters used them to go from our beach to Lake Michigan. They loved it! There was plenty of seating available on every level. The sandy fire pit area was a family favorite! We used it every night. We had such a wonderful time, we are thinking of returning! Thank you for sharing your beautiful Lake House.

We had a great stay at Stony Lake. The cottage was pristine, and well stocked with toys and activities to keep our 2 and 3 year olds busy and very, very happy. The and area was a big hit for the kids, and the adults enjoyed the great sunsets from the deck. Couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to stay in the area.

Beautiful location with all the basics for a weekend stay and close enough to Lewis adventure and farm. Great with quick communication. Clear directions on how to get to the cabin. My kids enjoyed the toys and sand pit. Adults enjoyed the view. Rustic and charming. Recommend air purifier and a bit more cleanliness if there are crawling infants as guests.

Stony Lake family vacation 2023

We enjoyed an amazing week at this private cottage on Stony Lake. Only about 15 minutes from the sand dunes, and a fun relaxing tube ride from Stony Lake creek to Lake Michigan. Cottage was clean, with all amenities needed for a vacation week with family. We were very pleased with this rental 👍

Lakeside getaway

Stoney Lake is a beautiful destination for a lakeside getaway. This lake house was well stocked and had just about everything we wanted. There are lots of fun games and activities for rainy days. Tom was very responsive to any questions that we had. The only downfall that I could see was that somehow mosquitoes and many many spiders were making their way inside. We did notice some screens had holes and this is possibly the cause. Despite this, we had a blast and I would highly recommend.

Great Family Vacation

Stony lake was the perfect spot for a family vacation. This house was the best stocked rental we have ever been to. The kitchen had all you needed and more and there were plenty of linens and blankets. The weather was chilly while we were there but luckily the home had plenty of games to keep us busy. We were still able to enjoy the fire pit and a few local breweries! We will be back!

The home was well appointed. The weather did not cooperate with us.

Probably the only negative was the small child staying next door literally cried non stop and it got to be pretty annoying. It was difficult to relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the lake. We were glad they left after a couple days.

Great Getaway

We rented this property for a girls' weekend and it did not disappoint. So cute! The bedrooms were nice and not at all musty. We loved Stony Lake! One highlight was being able to kayak together out to Lake MI. We also enjoyed close-by Ludington amenities and the fantastic Mexican food in neighboring Shelby. We loved our time away at this gorgeous lakeside getaway.
