Property Overview

Welcome to Sweetwater Shores -

Relax and enjoy all of the water activities right outside this classic up-north cottage. Imagine sitting on the deck with your morning coffee watching the parade of visiting wildlife - ducks, geese, swans, loons, maybe even an otter. Drop your fishing line right off the dock and reel in a huge bass. Swim in the crystal clear water of the sandy-bottomed lakefront. Boat, kayak or just enjoy the serene beauty of the lake as the ever-changing light of the day glistens off its surface. On a cool Michigan evening, roast a few marshmallows and share a few stories around the campfire or curl up inside with a good book by the fireplace.

Bring your own boat to explore the Upper Chain of Lakes, and dock it off the deep water dock or use our 10-person pontoon boat as part of the deluxe rental package. It's easy to launch your kayaks from the sandy beach and explore the waterfront in a more 'up close and personal' way.

This secluded cottage... is located just a short two block walk from the restaurants and shops of Historic Central Lake.

We provide bed linens and towels and a fully equipped kitchen, along with a pack 'n' play, and a fisher price booster chair, so you have less to worry about. There is plenty of sleeping room - 2 bedrooms, a pull out sofa, a futon directly facing the lake, and a rustic loft with 2 twin beds for older children or teens. Click here for pictures.

Pack your bags - an idyllic lake cottage vacation is waiting for you.
