About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Location, Location, Location! Walk to everything downtown has to offer!

Step into the Lemon Drop Cottage and start to relax. Our 3 BR, 2 Bath home features a large living room and open concept dining room/kitchen with an island bar. Although this home is part of the historical society, it still retains the charm of being built in 1871. But don't be fooled - the lemon drop also has many modern upgrades. A brand new kitchen, nice new comfy mattresses and of course....Wifi!

Master bedroom features a queen sized bed and has en suite bath.
Guest bedroom has full sized bed and one twin bed
Bedroom upstairs features 2 twin beds.

Off of the dining room is a slider leading to the large enclosed porch, which is great for those cool summer nights when you'd like to sit and still enjoy the outdoors a bit longer. Off of the porch is another outdoor area - a deck/patio area so if you'd like to sit in direct sunlight during the day or into the evening you can relax and do so! The patio area is also equipped with a grill so you have plenty of space to sit, relax, and prepare dinner for the evening while you enjoy a refreshment.

Our cottage has all the comforts of home so you can enjoy your stay in Pentwater and just relax.

Celebrating birthday & anniversary with friends!
This is the second year of staying in this VRBO. Sara was easy to work with, the home is lovely, with everything you may need. While the home is a short two block walk to downtown, the neighborhood is very quiet and private. We will definitely visit Pentwater and this home again!

Comfortable Home Away from Home
Our stay was enjoyable and my only regret is we didn’t have more time! The home was a comfortable size for 3 adults and 2 kids (under 3) to stay. We loved the screened in 3 seasons room, both for our Toddler to play and after the kids went to bed. The location was convenient, 1 block from the main strip and 3 mins from a coffee shop :) The window AC units helped keep the house cool when needed but we only used them once! The space felt private and we would stay here again

Lemon drop delight
The cottage is lovely! My family loved being so close to town, for pizza and ice cream! The master bedroom with full bath, a nice kitchen for cooking, table space for a group to play cards. along with the screened room, is the icing for me! The upstairs is fine for 2 kids, as long as you expect, and know it’s a historical home, so quite tight. We will return!

Close walking distance to anything you could want in town. Beach just a little further and walkable. Fantastic screened in porch and back patio. air conditioner was most welcome on about the warmest days of the year. Owners easy to contact and took care of a little problem that day.

Close to everything! Beautiful screen porch!
The house was really cute! It was close to everything. The attic was a little sketchy but my grown daughter agreed to sleep up there. I wouldn’t have and neither would any of my sisters have wanted to stay up there. The stairs were steep and short and the ceiling up there was very low! Great for kids only! The bathrooms and kitchen were nice. Loves the screen porch the best! We hung out there every day! The second bedroom is super tiny! No room for your clothing or luggage. We used the large room to put all our bags. Great for a family but not for couples. The master bedroom was large and had lots of storage space. Overall we really liked it even with the drawbacks.

We are three lifelong friends of over 45 years and love our girls trips. This was our second time staying at The Lemon Drop within 3 years and it has become a favorite. The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and walking distance to everything! We’ve decided to make this an annual trip! Can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you!

Visited Pentwater for a couple of nights with another couple. This was our first visit to Pentwater and it definitely won’t be our last! We were pleasantly surprised how nice Sara’s house was and how conveniently located it was to everything (stores, restaurants, beach). It was perfect for 2 couples, and everything we needed was available in the home. Thank you Sara!

Wonderful stay!
Lovely home just blocks from the water. Extremely clean and well put together. Especially love the screen porch, which was perfect for summer evenings or coffee in the morning. Linens were clean and in good condition. The home was well stocked with appropriate dishes. Couldn’t have asked for more perfect location for our Pentwater vacation. There were no downsides at all.

Great location, comfortable beds.
We all liked the house. We loved the screened in porch. Very relaxing. Since the master bath is so small, It would be nice if there was a mirror above the small dresser in the bedroom. It would let 2 people get ready easier. What would even be better would be a second vanity on that wall. Since it backs against the shower, Water & drain would be accessible. But still, best place we’ve stayed in Pentwater so far.

A group of friends and I kicked off the start of our summer break staying at this delightful cottage! Super cute screened porch to relax on and short walk to the Antler for dinner. My family joined me the next day and they loved it, too! We spent the evening on the porch again, listening to music and playing cards. Comfy beds, space to spread out, and two bathrooms! We had the perfect weekend in Pentwater. Thank you!

This is a super clean and lovely home just steps from downtown Pentwater. Amazing screened porch and back deck. Great for relaxing. The beach is within walking and biking distance. The TV streams well and internet connection never failed. Has washer and dryer- big bonus:) Happy to discover plenty of games for family to play. Perfect!

Cozy Cottage Close to Town
The cottage was close to town (nice short walk) in a quiet cute neighborhood. It had a nice porch that was very enjoyable to sit on and chat with friends. It was very nice to have a fully equipped kitchen with spices even! We enjoyed a couple of nice evenings playing games at the table, relaxing on the sectional, and snacking at the bar. Hope to go back soon!

Lovely Cottage
We had never been to Pentwater before and were here the week prior to our son's wedding. We were THRILLED with the Lemon Drop Cottage. (Some of our friends and family were not so lucky with their accommodations). The cottage is just as listed- very clean- updated. I appreciated the supplies in the kitchen- I had brought trash bags etc- but they were also already there. Obviously, there might not always be this or that- but I really appreciated what was there. The kitchen was LOVELY. The beds were nice- my 12 year old loved the upstairs room. There were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. We enjoyed the couch- quite comfortable for the 5 of us. We also spent a lot of time on the screened in porch- just lovely. My college age daughter and husband both had some work to do that week- and the Wifi was perfect- and although the cottage is small- there was PLENTY of room for them each to have a workspace. I had one panic about AC- as I'm hot natured and knew I'd be getting ready for a wedding. I messaged the owner and got a very quick and accurate response- which I appreciated. (My poor husband then had to fit a fan in the car). But, with the downstairs window unit and 2 fans (cottage has one) the cottage was lovely the whole week- even with 80's outside. There are ceiling fans too. The location is AMAZING. We were steps away from the main street in Pentwater as well as an easy walk to Mears beach. We wish we'd had more time to explore! We would not hesitate to stay at the Lemon Drop again! :)
