Nestled on Lake Michigan's shores along prestigious Lakeshore Drive, Raintree is a timeless lakefront cottage with sweeping views, a private beach, and spacious living areas designed for both relaxation and connection.

Start your mornings on the sun-drenched porch, coffee in hand, with panoramic lake views. Inside, the airy living spaces offer comfortable seating, a cozy fireplace, and a Smart TV for quiet nights or family movie time. The fully equipped kitchen features a gas stovetop, double oven, side-by-side refrigerator, and ample counter space, all overlooking the lake. Gather around the breakfast nook or the formal dining table for casual or elegant meals with loved ones.

The home sleeps large groups comfortably. The main level includes a queen bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in shower. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms—including two with lake views—and a full bath provide private retreats. The attached apartment above the garage adds two king bedrooms, a full kitchen, a living room, and a full bathroom—perfect for larger families or multi-generational stays.

Step outside and enjoy the variety of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and gathering. The back patio features a grill and comfortable seating, perfect for casual cookouts or an evening cocktail. At the front of the home, a large table invites al fresco dining with the whole group, while the front porch offers additional seating to enjoy morning coffee, watch the sunset, or simply take in the serene surroundings. Every outdoor space provides a peaceful spot to unwind while enjoying the fresh lake air.

Your private Lake Michigan beach is just across the street, accessible via stairs down the bluff. Sink your toes into the sand, splash in the sparkling waters, or soak up the sun on long summer days. The beach is perfect for swimming, building sandcastles, or enjoying quiet moments with the waves as your soundtrack. Sunset walks along the shore, evening bonfires on the bluff, and endless lake views create a truly unforgettable lakeside experience.

Just minutes from downtown Saugatuck and Douglas, the location combines tranquility with convenience. Explore charming shops, art galleries, restaurants, and coffee shops, or venture to nearby wineries, breweries, and local farms. Beaches, parks, and hiking trails are just a short drive away, offering endless ways to enjoy the Pure Michigan lifestyle.

Raintree is the ultimate lakeshore retreat—where lake views, a private beach, spacious comfort, and unforgettable memories come together in perfect harmony.
