Lynn’s guidebook for Peaceful cottage
Area description
New Era is a farming community that is honored to have near by beaches (small lakes and Lake Michigan), orchards, rivers and just nice people in general. Some of the best times are spent with family or friends. I hope you will take the time to enjoy this little West Michigan Gem.
