Our stay at the cottage was nothing short of perfect! This is our fourth year here, and every visit has been exceptional. Located on a peaceful street, it’s still just a stone's throw from downtown and the beach. We love that there are so many charming shops just a block or two away. Whether walking or biking, it’s easy to get to the beach and catch the stunning sunset. The cottage was spotless, well-maintained, and ideally suited for a family getaway. I truly couldn’t be happier with our experience this year!

Great location. Close to downtown and the state park. Just a block from the main street but that was enough to provide quiet. Really nice screened in porch.

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.

A favorite!

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!

2 night getaway

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.

Perfect in Pentwater

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!
