The photos in this section are divided into groups from south to north along the lake. Because so many cottages have been lost and the dunes greatly changed over the years, it can be difficult to orient yourself. Cottage numbers are overlaid, however most original photos were not dated and were put in chronological order mostly by the clues they contain.

If you have additional details, or dates to add or edit, please email CHPAgrandhaven@yahoo.com.

This photo was taken by Harold E Davis, an avid turn-of-the-century photographer, in about 1910 after his (Hansen) family cottage #16 was built. He pieced multiple photos together to create this panoramic view. Almost no landmarks are the same except the "Roweswood" #26 cottage. It was moved east in the mid-eighties to pull the structure back from the cliff edge during a high-water period.
