Boasting beautiful lake views, the covered outdoor living area with a wood-burning fireplace is perfect for breathing in fresh outdoor air and keeping cozy on cooler days. Full glass sliding doors, clerestory windows and exposed rafters seamlessly connect the sheltered porch with the interior living area
A tranquil site on Pentwater Lake inspired the design of this freshwater blue board and batten home. For a family with young boys and a fast paced lifestyle, the home’s design was concentrated on creating a retreat for relaxation and making lasting memories.
"We have a very busy lifestyle, and the second we are up there we relax and unwind." - homeowners
The cottage’s open and spacious layout with generous views of the lake combined with earthy interior tones and resilient natural materials links the beauty of the outdoors with the interior environment. Light yet durable fabrics and substantive furnishings throughout stand up to life on the lake with young playful boys. A central double-sided fireplace joins each area of the living and dining areas with a warm and enfolding glow.
