Family time revolves around
summer visits to this lakeside retreat. As gatherings became more
frequent, remodeling and expanding the secondary home into one for
year-round living became the ideal. Built in the 1960s, the rustic
accommodations lacked modern conveniences. The family’s lifestyle guided
the transformation with a larger Kitchen, and additions for a new Great
Room, Primary Suite, and Guest rooms. The seamless design melds old and
new, preserving the cottage’s charm. The love of entertaining family and
friends is now effortlessly accommodated. The thoughtful placement of
the new additions conforms to the site’s setbacks, reflecting Lake
Michigan’s undulating coastline.
