Montague is located on the shores of Lake Michigan and White Lake. Weather Street hosts the world's largest weather vane, which stands 48 feet high, spans 14 feet and weighs 4,300 lbs. Bring your golf clubs and enjoy Old Channel Trail Golf Course located 3 miles from this home. Montague's dining scene skews toward locally owned establishments, such as the casual Dog 'n Suds Drive-In on Dowling Street. Ferry Street's Book and Nook Java Shop serves a quick cup of coffee. For more extensive dining options, travelers must turn to the city of Whitehall, located about 1 mile away.

Muskegon is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. We are also home to many state parks, including P.J. Hoffmaster State Park, where you can find 10 miles of hiking trails and a beautiful beach. Take a trip to downtown Muskegon where you will find a variety of breweries and restaurants to enjoy. Muskegon is also the home to The Lakes Mall, which is surrounded by shopping, food and fun! Plan on spending a day with your family at Michigan's Adventure for a day of action and excitement. If you desire a day relaxing in the sun, head to the Muskegon River or the White River where River Rat Rentals and Happy Mohawk Canoe will rent tubes and canoes for your family to calmly float down the river. For a day of fun, head to Craig's Cruisers for mini golf, go-karts, arcades, and so much more! All of this is waiting for you to enjoy on your vacation to Muskegon!

Silver Lake is located in Mears, Michigan and offers shorelines along Lake Michigan and Silver Lake. While vacationing here you won't want to miss out on the experiences that the massive Silver Lake Sand Dunes have to offer. Rent a jeep of your own or head over to Mac Wood's Dune Rides for an adventurous ride on the sand dunes.

Amazing views!
The beach, sunsets & private setting were perfect! We had great weather during our entire stay & spent the majority of our time outsude on the huge deck or by the water. The house was as described, had lots of sleeping room & was in a very remote location on a dead end trail. An issue arose at the end of our stay, but we were able to reach the property management company's answering service without an issue on a Sunday morning, which was very comforting. We would definitely stay at Crafty Cottage again.

Great house!
This house basically has everything you might want in a vacation rental: privacy, views, and room for everybody. The drive to the house was slightly harrowing the first time, but once there it was a no-brainer getting in and out. The beach was pristine, and sleeping with the windows open to hear the surf was serene and perfect. We would love to come back, though word is the owners will be retiring here sooner rather than later so time will tell.

Sunsets and privacy on the water!
We had a great time during our stay. The privacy of this beach felt very unique — so rare to find a beach with no crowds! Lots of beds and bathrooms to accommodate a large group and great sunsets.
