Striking multi-level vacation home across from Lake Macatawa and Marina

Renovations completed just in time to offer this stunning four-level cottage for your summer vacation dreams. Known to locals as the 'Cupcake House' in reference to the multi-tiered and layered design, this home is located directly across from Lake Macatawa and Eldean's Marina.

Entering at the ground level you will make your way up one flight of stairs to the first living space. A lake-facing bedroom offers sweeping view with a king bed and twin daybed with trundle. An additional queen bedroom is found just down the hall with water views as well. Curl up for movie night in the beautiful family room complete with projector and screen. Enjoy the built in wet bar perfect for assembling your favorite cocktail or snacks for cards at the game table. Two full baths with amazing custom tile work can be found on this floor, each with a walk in shower and detailed amenities.

On the next level you'll find the main living area with a spacious open floor plan and panoramic views of Lake Macatawa. Fully equipped kitchen provides all you need for preparing your favorite meals to enjoy at the vintage farmhouse table or outside on the deck complete with gas grill and custom fireplace. Cozy up on the roomy sectional and enjoy great conversation while taking in the sweeping water views. Additional niche with recliners and flat screen tv provide the perfect spot to catch up the day's news. A half bath completes this floor.

Wander up another level and you enter an additional living area which leads to two separate bedrooms. Lounge away the morning in the king bed found in the soaring oversized master complete with catwalk. Step out the french doors to your own private deck and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the boats travel to and from Lake Michigan along the channel. There is an additional twin daybed with trundle located in this spacious room as well as an ensuite bath complete with jetted tub and shower. An additional queen bedroom with attached full bath complete this floor.

Next, climb the spiral staircase to a hidden gem! Built in library overflowing with kids books on every subject make for the perfect escape for the young reader in your group. This level will be the most coveted space and contains a second spiral staircase leading to an amazing observatory with incredible views and custom 'starry night' detail.

REVIEWS
"What a gorgeous house and in such a prefect location! I rented this property for a girls’ trip and it was the perfect spot for us! Check-in was super easy and the house was spotless. The views from the multiple decks are stunning and the beds are super comfortable. We loved our stay and can’t wait to go back!"
Ryann R.

"We traveled with 3 generations, aged 18-84. We had an absolute great time. Home is big enough to accommodate all in the same room and give everyone their own space. Short walk to Lake Michigan, right at Lake Macatawa and 15 minutes to downtown Holland. The home is an incredible space and we would definitely return. Well done, Unsalted."
Kathy W.

"We would recommend Unsalted Vacation Rentals to our friends and family, they went above and beyond and helped us tremendously with a last-minute rental when the one booked on Airbnb's water was turned off when we arrived. Unsalted Vacation was quick to respond and was able to help us get a place and save our vacation! We are so grateful to the property owner and to the company that helped us. We had an amazing time. The property was lovely and great customer service from Unsalted Vacation Rentals."

Great Place, Wonderful Time!
We have been renting in MI for the last few years and the location an property are fantastic. Lots of space and things to do, there are bikes, games, beach chairs and a wonderful deck with a fire place. All of my kids, significant others and grand child had a great time (there are a number of stairs for people with issues but, don't let that influence your decision) Would stay again!

Beautiful multiple family getaway
This house is so cool - it has 5 stories and is set up in such a way that one family can stay on the 2nd and one can stay on the 4th. The 3rd floor is the common areas - kitchen, dining room, tv area (that doubles as art when you shut it off), and outdoor hangout area. The view is gorgeous. The house faces Lake Macatawa and also gives you access to the private beach in exclusive Point West. The pictures of this house truly don’t do it justice, and the managing company responds quickly to any issues you may have. Also, important mentionables: personal elevator, ice machine in the kitchen, a sink that has filtered water, beautiful touches, reading nook on the 5th floor, and 2 fireplaces (one indoor and one outdoor). We can’t wait to come back.
