A Potter's Guesthouse

A Potter’s Guesthouse is located on the property of Terrestrial Forming Pottery Studio where Peter "the Potter" Johnson has been creating art for over forty years.

The clean and comfortable, newly renovated two-story is a former 1800’s school house that was enlarged to become a farm house.  There are three fully furnished bedrooms, two up and one down; one full bath down with a half bath up; a large fully equipped kitchen; a spacious living room; a mud room with washer and dryer; and a deck with a Weber grill.   It will sleep six: one queen, one double, two twins. Linens are included as well as cable TV, internet, microwave, and dishwasher, all the comforts of a home away from home.  

There are acres of land to picnic or to take walks in the adjacent woods which lead you to Lake Michigan's white, sandy beaches and dunes and sunsets.  For a nominal fee, you can arrange time with the potter to work in the studio with clay.

This beautiful area of west Michigan has much to offer. Lake Michigan (Duck Lake State Park), White Lake, and Duck Lake are all less than one mile away.  In addition, we are close to  Michigan’s Adventure Park, bike trails (The Hart-Montague  rails-to-trails paved path is now over 25 miles long.), White Lake Light Station (great walk from lighthouse to beach via the channel), art galleries, unique shops, a book store, yoga studio, candy shop, boating and fishing (free launch sites), canoeing,  kayaking, dune rides, hiking and bird watching (Owassippi), free weekly outdoor concerts, numerous golf courses, antique stores, Howmet Theater, 1950's root beer drive-in, the state's oldest soda fountain, and the world's largest weathervane.  (Or just relax under the shady maples or the millions of stars.)  It's a paradise!

We rent by the week for $890 with a refundable security deposit of $500 due at time of reservation.  Check-in is Saturday at 3; check- out is Saturday at 11. Available mid-June through October.  There is ample parking for boats and trailers.
