Amazing Lake Views, Beach Access, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Screened Porch & Game Room

Escape to a Luxurious Lake Michigan Retreat

Welcome to your elevated escape on the shores of Lake Michigan, where sweeping lake views and refined comfort set the stage for an unforgettable stay. Just a short walk from beach access (please note: the access directly across the street may be affected by erosion; an alternate beach is located just 2–3 blocks away), this elegant home offers the perfect blend of relaxation, style, and convenience.

Step into the heart of the home—a chef’s dream kitchen with premium appliances and an oversized island perfect for entertaining. Share meals and lake breezes in the spacious screened-in porch, or unwind with sunset cocktails on the rooftop deck overlooking the water.

Designed with gatherings in mind, the home features expansive common areas ideal for playing cards, sharing conversation, or simply listening to the calming sound of waves. Whether you're connecting over a glass of wine or enjoying quiet moments together, the layout offers both space and comfort.

After a day of exploration, indulge in the oversized outdoor hot tub (available for an additional fee), or gather around the large fire pit under the stars.

The primary suite is a serene sanctuary, complete with a bath with oversized shower and a lofted office for moments of quiet productivity. The main house includes three additional well-appointed bedrooms, while the detached guesthouse offers a private fifth bedroom, a full bath, a refrigerator and microwave, and a charming loft with two extra beds.

Downstairs, the lower level family room with lake views and entertainment for all ages—enjoy classic video games, ping-pong, board games, or a cozy movie night.

Ideally located near award-winning restaurants, wineries, breweries, boutique shopping, and casinos, this home places the best of the region within short driving distance.

Professionally cleaned and sanitized before every stay.
Maximum occupancy: 14 adults (or 16 with children); strictly enforced.

Treat yourself to the ultimate lakeside getaway—where every detail is designed for comfort, connection, and lasting memories.

We had a wonderful stay in this fabulous house. The views are incredible. It was spacious and everyone had room to spread out. Beds were comfy. The open floor plan was great for a large group. The kitchen is very well stocked! The weather was cool but we made use of the hot tub and fire pit. There is so much to do in the area - golf, pickleball, great shops and restaurants. Hope to return some day!

A Great Time was Had by All!

The home was perfect for our group- large open floor plan, well set up kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. We loved the upstairs deck for gathering as a group to watch the sunset, the kids loved the hot tub, and the garage apartment was perfect for our son’s family with a baby. We loved the beach and the nearby park with pickleball courts

A Great Save!

We have been utilizing this weekend getaway for over 20 years, and it is a significant aspect of our annual plans. This year, we ran into a bit of a snafu and we thought that all was lost!In response to this situation, we engaged with VRBO customer service, which proved to be exceptionally effective in facilitating a rebooking. The instant confirmation provided and the constructive dialogue with the property manager regarding our specific needs and preferences were both commendable and professional. We look forward to many more years in this exceptional space.

Family gathering

Our family of 14 gathered to celebrate our moms 80th birthday. The house was perfect - beds for everyone and two fun legs gathering spaces that were ideal for our group. We’ve rented lots of houses and this one has the best equipped kitchen of any we’ve stayed in. The hot tub was wonderful and the location amazing for walking in the beach and a quick trip to New Buffalo! Trupti was helpful ahead of check in I would go back to this house again.

Thanksgiving Trip

My family and I hosted our Thanksgiving dinner here. Some of the highlights were the view of the lake from most of the rooms and the hottub. We went in the hottub at night in 30 degree weather. I was surprised I didn't get cold. This was one of the nicer hottubs I've been in. They have a game room that was really nice for a large family. The screened in porch was awesome. I can't imagine how nice it must be to stay here in the summer. The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had, even during the holiday. Thankyou so much! This will be a Thanksgiving we will never forget!!

Perfect House for our College Group Reunion

This house is larger than the photos show it. The main room and basement room are very large. It's very well stocked with just about everything you could need. One of the nicest VRBO's that any of us had stayed at. The house was perfect for our reunion and added so much to our enjoyment of the weekend. Our host made check-in a breeze and happily and promptly answered my questions leading up to our trip. Didn't want to leave!

Just What It Says on the Tin

This place was exactly what we were after. Perfect in every way. Beach was easy enough to get to, kids had plenty of space to play, had both the balcony and the screened-in porch as sunset viewing sites… I could go on. In short, if this is the kind of lace you’re looking at, this is the place you want.

4 Generation Family Vacation

Our family of 16 enjoyed staying at The Green House! We celebrated my Mom’s 80th birthday. Lots of time together as a family playing games and enjoying the nearby beach. We were able to drive my mom to the stairs so she could have an easier time getting there. The two blocks walking to the stair access was a little workout since it was hilly.
