    Important Note:
    Like all area cottages, M&M Dune Cottage is separated from the lake by a naturally created, government protected dune. The pathways over the dune are marked & continually managed to keep their heights as low as possible. This season, there are ‘easy’ board-walk mats placed out on two of the three beach paths adjacent to the cottage. There's a flat boardwalk in Washington Park.

    Please remember to read all beach cautions (especially about riptides) and supervise children. Thank you!

    FOR ADDED COVID SAFETY:
    • We’ve extended the work hours of our 5 Star Housekeeping team to provide the additional time necessary to perform enhanced cleaning procedures.
    • We use ‘Hospital Grade’ disinfectant solutions.
