OUTDOOR SPACE


One of the highlights of Coho Cottage is the large, covered front porch. Adorned with Adirondack chairs, it's the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine. The porch overlooks the picturesque surroundings, offering a peaceful retreat where you can soak in the fresh Michigan air. Our front and back yards are being naturalized with native grasses and wildflowers typically seen along the lakeshore. Please pardon the bare spots during that process. The outdoor space extends to a backyard where you can relax, play, or dine al fresco, making the most of your time in this serene environment.
