About this property

Cozy, lakefront cabin with gas grill and wrap-around deck.

  • Located in the middle of the 30,000 acre Allegan State Forest and on the banks of Lake Allegan, Pinecrest features an original knotty pine ceiling, you will be welcomed into this charming Michigan cabin. Open floor plan with galley kitchen, this home has everything you need for a relaxing time away. Two cozy bedrooms overlook a large wooded lot with private frontage on to Lake Allegan. Large, mature oak canopy provides a shaded respite from hot summer days.

    Cabin is a two bed, one bath 1,000 sq foot house. Lot size is .46 acres, with 100 feet of frontage along the lake. 40-50 feet along the lake have been left as natural buffer from neighbors and to prevent erosion. The dock on the bank leads out into the water from the shoreline, which has small boardwalk for additional. Listing photos are from 2020, unless otherwise noted.

    Outside, take your morning coffee on the large wrap-around porch and watch the birds and boats go by. Fire pit, gas grill and outdoor dining is also available for lazy summer nights. Bring your boat, kayaks, jet skis and fishing gear. With only one neighbor on each side and fully matured trees, this secluded spot will help you disengage and recharge..

    While the lot is wooded; the property is treated twice a month for mosquitoes and ticks. Due to lack of sunlight our efforts to grow a formal lawn have failed. But, it is also professionally mowed and weeded twice a month. The lot is wooded and subject to plant growth and/or insects during that time. The lot is not professionally landscaped in terms of formal, organized flower beds. Wildfowers and plants that can survive in the shade, evergreen and oak trees compose most of the flora on our lot. We love its natural charm and hope you will too.

    With a 70' private dock, enjoy Michigan in a quiet, nature filled retreat away from the noise of city life. Pinecrest is a great place to relax under the canopy of mature trees and enjoy nature.

    Pinecrest is:
    10 Minutes to Downtown Allegan
    15 Minutes to Downtown Fennville
    20 Minutes to Bittersweet Ski Resort
    25 Minutes to Saugatuck/Douglas, South Haven
    35 Minutes to Holland

    Dock is usually installed mid April and may removed anytime after mid September, dependent on the weather.

Great home and scenic location

Our stay was great. This was my families first vacation with our 7 month old son. The location is only a short drive from many of the well known Michigan towns/cities, but the home is far enough away that you could spend all your time just relaxing on the scenic lake. We did a mix of both and it was wonderful. We’ll be back in the future with our canoe!

Perfectly peaceful

This was a perfect location for a peaceful getaway. The house was well equipped, and easy enough to relax in. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood very quiet. This location also allows you to relax on the deck overlooking the lake or even down on the pier and water taking in all of lake life. Also only being about a half an hour away from such places such as South Haven and Holland, allows for easy day adventures. Will be staying again, most definitely.

Peaceful, Relaxing Getaway

My cousin-sister and I needed an escape from our families and a girls weekend, and this place could not have been more perfect. It was so quiet and so peaceful that we joked that we could hear our blood pressure lowering. Loved the view and the proximity to Saugatuck for hiking/lunch/shops. Dinner at Salt of the Earth in Fennville is a must! Karen was very communicative, and we will definitely be back.

Clean and quiet

We were a mom and dad and a 7 year old and 2 year old. This cottage is very well maintained and has all the household essentials. It was quiet and enjoyable to sit out on the deck with morning coffee, The only improvement I can suggest would be a railing around the deck perimeter. We enjoyed our week here
