Cottage On the Shore

Exclusive Cottage on Mecosta Lake
Period example of Lake life. The cottage began its life in 1949 and was completed in 1953. The cottage is a cozy retreat with 75’ of beach on Lake Mecosta. Beautiful setting. Rustic and simple.
Sleeps 4. Master is full and bunks are twin xl’s. Additional sleeping via couch futon. Bring your boat or play 18 at St. Ives. Fish on! Mecosta boasts one of the best estuaries of sports fish species in the state. Is cycling your thing? The road, gravel, and MTB are a sure thing. Low traffic, great single track at the Dragon Trail just 8miles from Davis Bridge trailhead. Note: St. Ives has requested all carts to be back to clubhouse by 3pm.

Vintage, great view of Mecosta Lake, great neighbors. Musty smell in cottage, outdated canned goods and moldy jam. Used soap, razors, personal items in bathroom.

Perfect Lake Cottage

What a great lake cottage, perfect for the holiday with my spouse! We were able to dock our pontoon boat out front and enjoy the Tri-Lakes. Perfect spot to view the 4th of July fireworks.

Classic cottage

My wife and I stayed here two different times this summer. As far as we are concerned, this is what a cottage up north it's supposed to be like. The setting is beautiful and the Sun rises spectacular
