Lake Michigan Beach House with Private Hot Tub to get away from it all

Quiet time in nature should be part of a wellness routine, like meditation or yoga. If you’re stressed out, you should be able to pull a rip cord and be sitting at a campfire. This is that place. Why settle for cold and impersonal when you can stay here in this warm, inviting home where you have the beauties of Lake Michigan to admire? The home is directly on the Lake. Enjoy the stunning infinity lake views from nearly every window. The deck overlooks a gorgeous sweep of Lake Michigan that is perfect for swimming. Just 22 steps down to the spacious white sugar sand beach! Our cosy year-round home offers spring and summer sun and fun and Fall’s quiet beauty. Winter is a quiet escape for special holiday memories with family, cocoa by the fireplace and sweeping views of majestic waves skinned with ice.

Please note: the home’s stairs were built like attic stairs: they have shallower treads and higher rise than standard steps. This could be challenging for anyone who physically has trouble with stairs. There is one stairway to get up to the main floor (kitchen, decks, living room, family room, guest room) from the driveway entry, and also another stairway up to the master bedroom level (with a full bath and second guest room). There’s a king bedroom and full bath on the main level that is ideal for anyone who wishes to avoid stairs once they’re in the house. It’s also possible to walk up the slope on the side of the house to the deck level and enter the main floor that way (Not recommended in winter due to slippery conditions).

The home has a warm and wonderful appeal. The kitchen has been renovated with slate, custom tile, stainless appliances, dramatic lighting and a convenient breakfast bar. The upstairs full bath has a large tiled shower overlooking the Lake.

The main floor full bath (with tub) is perfect for guests who want to stay on the main floor because it’s right next to the main floor king size guest room.

There’s a lovey & comfortable living room overlooking the lake with a fireplace and flatscreen TV. There’s also a spacious family room off the kitchen with two daybeds set up for lounging or TV watching, and a spacious dining table for 8, a workspace with phone and desk lamp, and a 2nd TV. Satellite WiFi is great for emails and texting. A landline with free long distance ensures you can stay in touch even if your cell phone has a poor signal.

Enjoy the view of the water while you soak in the hot tub and watch the kids play in the sandbox. Have an outdoor fire on the deck at night. Adirondack chairs for 6, outdoor dining table for 8, and 3 cool chairs down on the lake deck mean there are places you can get some alone time, even when you’re at the lake together.

The water has a very gradual slope that's great for kids: no drop off, lots of sand bars. You can wade out a very long way before you're in deep water. We provide life jackets in many sizes.

The deck area is enclosed to provide a secure area for children so you don't have to worry about a small person going to the lake alone. Combination locks on each gate are easy for grown ups, difficult for children.

We have all the beach towels you'll ever need: and we do the laundry after you leave.

You'll love the master bedroom with a view that quite simply takes your breath away and a wonderful Tempur-pedic mattress. Listen to the waves all night long.

The guest room upstairs has two double beds. The guest room downstairs has a kingsize bed. The family room has two twin size day beds. All linens and towels are provided; so you don’t have to stress planning your vacation.

We want you to enjoy what our family has enjoyed and we invite you to come to stay at this wonderful slice of paradise. You'll love your time here and leave refreshed and happy.

Simply paradise

This is our 4th time staying here. It is a special place for sure. We rarely stay at places over and over. There is nothing more soothing than the sound of the waves hitting the shore. Long walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets. Mary is always quick to respond and takes extra special care of any situations. This place is a gem!

Best 50th Birthday Weekend

Had probably the best birthday weekend ever. The location, view and proximity to the beach were outstanding. The sand on the beach was so fine and smooth. Hearing the waves while you slept was the best. I've stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this was the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen. Mary was very responsive when I had to reach out to her. I hope to stay here again!

Bliss

Gorgeous skies, surf, and sand; and an unobstructed 180 degree view of horizon. Didn't use the hot tub on the deck but saw that it was maintained. Could have happily stayed a month. Cherry Point market was fabulous and close--recommend the strudels. at Otto natural area. And od course

lovely host and house

The house has a beautiful view and an easy & sturdy one flight of stairs down to the water. Enjoyed 2 wonderful sunsets while sitting in the hot tub. Although there are of course neighbors on both sides, the house sits a bit in front of them both and had a private and "secluded" feel.

5 Star +++

Great property and experience. You can’t get any closer to Lake Michigan without getting wet. Beautiful views on the wrap around deck and from within the house. Lovely home, lots of room, lots of beach and lots of waves. Perfect beach house. Gracious and responsive owners. Reasonably priced for such a lovely home and the best views of any beach house in the area (I know, I did a lot of beach walks and this house was the closet to the water’s edge and had the best views). 5 Star +++
