Features of our Space

Lake access with private dock

Watch the sunset from our private lake dock, where you can also launch kayaks or fish.

Backyard haven with bonfire

Gather around our backyard haven for cozy, fun times by the bonfire. The crackling flames cast a warm glow as you relax on benches under the starry sky. Savor the joy of togetherness as laughter fills the air, and share stories illuminated by the flickering firelight. Our enchanting outdoor dining set, surrounded by bistro lights, creates the perfect atmosphere for an intimate evening. Whether roasting marshmallows or simply enjoying the tranquility, our backyard is a haven for creating cherished memories with family and friends.

Close proximity to Lake Michigan

Discover the allure of Lake Michigan just moments away from our vacation rental. A short drive leads you to the sandy shores of this majestic lake, where endless possibilities unfold. Feel the soft, cool sand beneath your toes as you bask in the sun or take refreshing dips in the clear waters. Embrace the panoramic views, and let the rhythmic waves create a soothing soundtrack to your day. Whether you're a beach enthusiast or seeking serene moments by the water, Lake Michigan offers a picturesque escape, adding a touch of coastal magic to your stay at our cozy cottage.

Rooms

Blue Iris Cottage had everything we needed for a quiet girls weekend. The house was lovely & very cozy, with enough space for each of us. Also, the location was great. We hit up some nice restaurants & a spa, & did some hiking all with very minimal travel.

For sleeping areas: we have two bedrooms and an additional, enclosed loft space. Each of the rooms have a queen bed, outfitted with plush mattresses and memory foam toppers, down alternative pillows, and down alternative comforters and/or light quilts. All of our bedding is washable or with a washable cover, and every piece of bedding a guest touches is washed between each stay.

The loft area: steep steps bring you to a loft with an enclosed room for privacy (the third sleeping area of the cottage). There, you can fall asleep gazing at the stars through the skylights in this room! Please note, these stairs are not suitable for children and should be climbed carefully. This area can get quite warm in the summer months, but we have a downstairs window AC unit that cools the loft area well. We also provide extra fans and heaters to be used as needed.

For entertainment, we have plenty of board and yard games, beach accessories, smart TVs, and more. We have four kayaks and one child's kayak, and multiple adult bikes available. We have an assortment of life jackets but cannot guarantee correct sizes. We do not provide helmets for the bikes, so please bring your own. Please also note that a separate liability agreement must be signed for use of kayaks and bikes.

Our kitchen is stocked by our own family members who love to cook and hate to have to buy essentials while on vacation, so please take advantage of our many pots/pans, serving utensils, dishes, glasses, mugs, etc., in addition to oils, spices, and some condiments. Inside, we have a gas stove, microwave, Keurig, and dishwasher. Outside, we have a charcoal grill, which is particularly fun in the summer!

The bathroom includes a spacious granite countertop with a recently-updated vanity, bathtub/shower with rain head faucet.

The backyard has a large fire pit area with benches. There is also an enchanting outdoor dining set with outdoor bistro lights strung above. Yard games are available in the back shed as well.
