PROPERTY DETAILS

Discounts for multi-week stays. Please inquire.

Welcome to your getaway in Ferrysburg, Michigan! This locally historic cottage, nestled beside the iconic Smith's Bridge, offers a perfect blend of modern luxury and nostalgic charm. Fully renovated in 2023, it maintains its original character with tasteful touches like local maps and custom artwork made from real photo postcards celebrating the area's early 20th-century resort era.

The home comfortably sleeps 10 and features a well-equipped kitchen with a dining table for 8 plus countertop seating, five new queen-sized memory foam mattresses, and 2.5 updated bathrooms. These include: one full bath with tub en suite to the downstairs bedroom (1 queen); one full bath with shower en suite to the upstairs large bedroom (2 queens), which also has hallway access for the two smaller upstairs bedrooms (1 queen each); and a convenient half bath off the main living area.

A cozy and thoughtfully arranged living room offers comfortable seating for 4–5 on the sofa, with two additional vintage folding chairs provided as needed. While it may not seat the entire group at once, guests often spread out between the living areas, rooftop deck, and backyard for socializing.

The 200 sq ft rooftop deck—with seating for 10—overlooks Smith’s Bayou and the home’s private dock, offering peaceful water views also visible from each bedroom and common area. Outside, the private fenced yard includes a fire pit with ample seating, a grill, a deck with picnic table, corn hole and ladder toss games, and a brand-new 7-person hot tub for relaxing under the stars.

Inside, enjoy high-speed internet, a 58" smart TV in the living room, a 50" smart TV in the upstairs large bedroom, board games, puzzles, a vintage shuffleboard table, and a fun collection of vinyl records for rainy days. Other amenities include central AC and heat, fans and blackout shades in every bedroom, and a large-capacity washer and dryer.

At approximately 1,950 square feet, the cottage is cozy yet spacious enough for families or groups seeking a charming home base near Lake Michigan.

In front of the house, across W Spring Lake Road, is your private 20’ wide lake access, offering a serene escape with picturesque views of Smith's Bayou. Comfortable seating on the patio or small sandy area invites you to enjoy a quiet morning cup of coffee while keeping an eye out for the bald eagles nesting across the Bayou, or to enjoy the bustle of boat traffic and boat flotillas on warm weekend days. The lot boasts deep-water access, perfect for fishing, swimming off the dock, or docking your boat -bring your own or rent from a local marina. There is a floating dock at your private beach, plus a neighboring permanent dock installed in June 2024 (available for boat use if you are bringing or renting a boat). Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring or use a boat and/or trailer. Water toys, including two new kayaks and inflatable tubes, noodles, and life jackets, are available for your use.
