About this cottage rental

The Cabin at Bursaw Beach has 150 feet of frontage on Lake Michigan. It was completely renovated in 2024. The lake has a rock bottom in front of the cabin.

The Cabin has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. You’ll enjoy all the amenities of home while enjoying the views and sand of Lake Michigan - not exactly a "cabin", but that's what we call it. Explore the upper peninsula or just relax by the lake. You can walk for miles on the sandy beach in both directions.

Bedroom 1 has a view of Lake Michigan with a full bed and a 50 inch TV. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and a 40 inch TV. Bedroom 3 has a twin bunk bed and a 32 inch TV.

The living room has a sectional couch with a 60 inch TV. There is a stereo receiver with built in speakers in the living room and dining room. Stream music from your phone via Bluetooth or choose an AM or FM station. The internet service is Starlink.

The bathroom has a bathtub with a shower above. It also has a full size washer and dryer.

The kitchen contains an electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker and refrigerator. Unfortunately it is challenging to winterize an ice maker in a seasonal cottage, so bring ice or make ice with the trays provided.

Outside you’ll find a firepit near the beach. Firewood is provided. There are Adirondack chairs as shown in the picture. There are also beach lounge chairs so you can lay flat - perfect for an afternoon beach nap. There are some plastic beach toys for kids.

There is a concrete charcoal grill built in the 1960s. We also have a propane gas grill if charcoal isn’t your thing.

There is parking for up to 6 cars or a couple trucks and trailers. There is an outdoor 120V outlet to charge a car or plug in a camper.

The water in the cabin is well water. Bring bottled water if you prefer.

Towels and beach towels are provided.

All TVs are smart TVs in which you can add your favorite apps. There is no TV service.

No pets allowed.

No smoking allowed on the property.

No events or parties.

There is no air conditioning. There are fans in the bedrooms.

There is an electric fireplace in the living room.

There is no dock/pier. The shore is a mix of rocks and sand. Beaching a boat or jet ski is not recommended due to the rocks and waves. The waves can be quite large. You may want to bring water shoes to walk through the rocks to get to sand for swimming or walk down the beach to find plenty of sandy areas. There is no lifeguard or life jackets. The beach changes day to day based on weather. Vegetation may grow on the beach if there has not been heavy waves or if the lake water level is down.

ATVs cannot be driven on the property. The road to the cottage is private. You can drive ATVs at a gentle speed to the trails.

Total space is 960 square feet.

Lake frontage is 150 feet with 100 feet vacant frontage to the south.

Beautiful and quiet. Very comfortable, had to spend a lot of time indoors due to wildfire smoke but it was perfect temperature inside with fans and not able to open windows. Kitchen is beautiful, view of the water. Maybe kitchen blinds, but not too much traffic, so not a big deal. Loved it!

The property was great. It is very secluded and definitely gets you away from things. We saw maybe three people walk the beach the whole time we were there. We spent a lot of time on the beach, just sitting, taking long walks, and spending time in the water. We watched a river otter, an eagle snatching a fish, saw many waterfowl, and even a large snapping turtle. Who knew they were in Lake Michigan? The yard was nice, looked like one of the few with grass leading to the beach, which is just a short walk across the yard. The house was nice too with small bedrooms, but good living space overlooking the water. It was clean and simple, which is just fine. We used the gas grill a couple of times which is located in a nearby shed. There are some outdoor games if anyone is so inclined. The outdoor seating wasn't great. The chairs were cheap and struggled to hold any of the adults, all under 200 lbs. A small outdoor table down by the lake would be nice. There is a picnic table that can be moved down, but it's located in a funny spot next to the play structure for kids. We brought down one of the benches to place some food and drinks on. There is no outdoor patio on the back of the house facing the lake, which would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. Overall, the owners did a nice job of making this a comfortable and welcoming place. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking to step away from your busy everyday lives, though the wifi does work well too.

Fantastic stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location was as advertised. Breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Fantastic outdoor fire pit right on the beach. Large outdoor shed to store gear at the end of the day. We’ll be back for sure! Perfect spot for a UP adventure.
