About this property

Lakeside Cottage Retreat near Grand Rapids

  • Lakeside Cottage Retreat near Grand Rapids

    Escape to this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath lakeside cottage, a cozy getaway that blends comfort with outdoor adventure. Just a short drive from Grand Rapids, this family- and pet-friendly retreat offers everything you need for a memorable stay.

    Start your mornings with coffee on the covered patio while taking in lake views, then spend the day boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, or jumping on the in-ground trampoline in the spacious yard. Evenings are best enjoyed grilling on the wood pellet smoker or gathering around the fire pit under the stars.

    Inside, the cottage is designed for relaxation and convenience with a Smart TV, free WiFi, and a fully stocked kitchen for shared meals. The bathroom features a walk-in shower with heated tile floors, and flexible sleeping arrangements make it easy to host families or groups of friends.

    When you’re ready to explore, nearby attractions like the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, downtown dining, and shopping in Grand Rapids are all within easy reach. Whether you’re looking for peaceful lakeside living or family fun, this cottage offers the perfect escape.
