Private Beach, Outdoor Dining, Firepit

Welcome to The Pond Cottage, hosted by Sheboygan Vacation Rentals!

Beautifully updated and redecorated in 2025, our cottage is nestled atop a scenic dune along the shores of Lake Michigan, The Pond Cottage offers the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape or looking to explore the cultural and recreational treasures of Kohler and Sheboygan, this private, pristine getaway has it all.

Wake up to breathtaking, unobstructed views of the lake from the moment you step inside, and enjoy 275 feet of stunning private lakeshore frontage.

Two charming screened porches offer the ideal spots for your morning coffee, a relaxing afternoon nap, or dining al fresco. One porch opens onto a spacious deck with plenty of seating, a large umbrella for shade, and ample room for grilling or soaking up the sun.

Marvel at the awe-inspiring sunrises over the lake and don't miss the magic of moonrises, described by past guests as "an experience not to be missed." Tucked away on a quiet, unpaved wooded lane, the cottage invites peaceful strolls and quiet reflection.

In just 15 minutes, you can access the finest dining, boutique shopping, arts, world-class golf courses, spa experiences, and thrilling charter fishing excursions. Whether you crave relaxation or excitement, The Pond Cottage offers the perfect base for your next lakeside retreat.

We can’t wait to welcome you! 🌊

Perfect Getaway for our Family of 5!

The Pond Cottage is a true gem. We loved the proximity to the beach! Started and ended our day on the amazing the screened in patio with the sound of waves crashing. You can just tell how much thought and care is put into this place, from the cleanliness to the ample sleeping arrangements for larger families. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay

The property itself and location is perfect. Clean, cozy and comfortable. It is right on the beach. The screen porches are a wonderful spot for watching the waves. The manager and caretaker do a fantastic job of taking care of the property. Thank you for such a wonderful long family weekend.

Wonderful!

We stayed in July 2024 - there was a good amount of sandy beach . We loved having it all to ourselves for several days! This is the cleanest cottage I have ever stayed at. They seemed to have thought of everything! Amazing views of the lake from every spot. Loved it!

A Relaxing Getaway

The house was exactly as described and perfect for our group. The kitchen stocked everything you would need to cook and if dining out is your preference plenty of great places within a short drive. The private beach was amazing. We enjoyed enough space to set up a volleyball court and have room to set up lawn chairs and relax. My daughter asked if we could rent again and return next year!

Great summer getaway

Our family of 5 came to stay for a week this summer. The cottage is right on the lake and our kids had a great time walking down to the water and loved being able to swim to their hearts content. The cottage is a time capsule, with great modern amenities, that helps you disconnect and enjoy the time there. Practically new cookwear, sheets, towels - everything was great.

a relaxing break from the Texas heat

It was our first time north to escape the Texas heat and the Pond Cottage was the perfect place. The view was incredible, the screened in porch and deck were the two areas we spent most of our time. We practically had the beach to ourselves. We took walks down the road, saw deer and enjoyed the solitude. We saw lightening bugs galore at dusk. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed. Sure hope we are able to make this a yearly trip!

Amazing private waterfront stay

We LOVED our stay at the Pond Cottage! The cute old cottage feel and look with plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax was great! But the outside and beachfront are what seal the deal! The beautiful private beach with amazing water and sand but also the overall privacy of the location was perfect. We enjoyed the beach all days swimming, walking, and paddle boarding. We even ate meals out there because it was just too great to stay away. The girls loved sleeping in the bunk beds and my husband and I slept great in our own beds in the private room on the other side! The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable inside as well. We’re coming back next year and can’t wait!

Wonderful cottage right on the lake

Wonderful cottage right on the lake! Beautiful, big, sandy beach.We especially loved the screen porches that allowed us to feel like we were on the beach even while we were in the house. We had a rainy weekend but still enjoyed the beauty of the lake up close from the cozy screen porch. The property is quite big and there is a lot of space to the neighbor's houses so it felt very private and secluded. We were there for 3 days and saw a total of about 5 people, all walkers going down the beach. The host was friendly, informative, and very generous to give us a late checkout on our last day. We would love to stay here again! One note is that all the beds are twins, doubles, or fulls, so there is no queen or king bed for a couple to sleep in. Also the Wi-Fi is pretty slow, so I don't plan on streaming HD movies.

Private Beach Retreat

Location was unbeatable! The cottage is set on a sandy beach (soft & great for sandcastles) and set back in the woods with endless views of shore and lake so we felt as if we had the whole lake to ourselves. We were also close enough to Sheboygan to make a quick trip for things we forgot (and some really good pizza). Cottage was equipped with kid friendly furnishings indoor and out. Thoughtfully laid out and well stocked. Everything seemed new and fresh and very high quality. The screened porches were fantastic at all times of the day and even during a brief rain storm. Manager was easy to reach and check-in and check-out were so simple. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Could not have been better!

I wish I was a more expressive writer to get across how great this property is! Our time here was short, but we enjoyed it to its fullest. We brought our kayaks, read a bit in each of the chairs (our main goal for renting this place!), did our morning stretches on the deck above the lake, watched 2 of 3 sunrises (pretty good for us!) and just totally decompressed. It's definitely the cleanest place we ever rented! And the most relaxing. OK, and the most beautiful! It was overall perfect. Thank you so much!
