A cozy lakefront cottage at Sunnyside — private beach, fire pit, and shuffleboard on site.

Wake up to Lake Huron right outside your window. Cottage 1 sits steps from a private beach, with a shared fire pit, shuffleboard, and picnic grills just outside the door — evenings here mean sand between your toes and sparks drifting up into a dark sky over the water. Inside: two bedrooms, one bath, a full kitchen, and a cozy living area with TV and Wi-Fi. Cottage 1 is one of three matching lakefront cottages at Sunnyside Cottages in Greenbush, Michigan.

You'll get full check-in details before you arrive, and we're just a message or call away if anything comes up during your stay — whether that's a restaurant recommendation or the best time to catch the sunrise. You're not routed through a call center; you're talking to the people actually managing the property.

House Rules: No parties or large gatherings. No drugs or illegal substances. Violating these rules may result in fees or immediate eviction without a refund — we appreciate your help keeping things peaceful for everyone on the property.

Sound: This cottage has an open-ceiling layout between rooms, so sound carries easily. Great for families or close friends staying together — just know bedrooms won't be fully private acoustically.

Water: We're on well water — safe to drink, though some guests notice a metallic taste. Distilled water is available at nearby stores.

What to bring: toiletries, beach towels (we provide bath towels), charcoal if you're grilling, cooking basics like oil and salt, groceries, and a lighter or fire starters if you'll use the fire pit.

What we provide: coffee, dishwasher pods, trash bags, paper towels, two starter rolls of toilet paper, and firewood for the fire pit.
