Driftwood Cottage | Lake Michigan Sauna + Fire Pit

Driftwood Cottage features 100ft of private Lake Michigan shoreline and unforgettable sunrise views. Start with coffee in the screened porch, spend the day on the water, then unwind with sauna sessions, wood-fired pizza, and fireside nights by the lake. Perfect for couples, golf trips, and small group escapes.

THE EXPERIENCE

Driftwood Cottage is your private Lake Michigan escape—set on 100 feet of shoreline and designed for the kind of trips you’ll come back to year after year.

This is where mornings start slow, days revolve around the water, and nights turn into something you don’t want to end.

Start your day with sunrise over the lake from the screened porch. Spend the afternoon along the shoreline or out on the water. Then settle in for wood-fired pizza, drinks by the fire, and a sauna session just steps from the lake.

This is what a true lake weekend should feel like.

📌 Important — Guest Verification Required After Booking

To ensure a smooth and secure stay, all reservations complete a quick post-booking verification directly with Wisconsin Getaways. This secure step is completed outside of the platform and includes:

🪪 Providing a valid driver’s license or government-issued ID for the primary guest
✍️ Signing our standard rental agreement directly with the Host

These items simply reaffirm the house rules shown here and do not override Airbnb or Vrbo’s Terms. Once completed, you’ll receive your arrival instructions—property address, parking details, and door codes—typically two weeks before check-in.
