Perfect retreat for multi-generational families! Sat-Saturday lakeside rental.

On the LAKE side of Red Arrow at Cherry Beach. Lovely updated ranch home with a huge deck and yard. Enjoy stargazing from the quiet backyard deck. Roast s'mores in the firepit. Use all the toys and floaties in Lake Michigan at beautiful Cherry Beach!! The beach is a short, peaceful walk down Cherry Beach Road.
Perfect home for large families, reunions or groups of friends. We have hosted bridal parties, multi-generational family reunions, and many grandparents looking to gather their kids and grandkids for a week of togetherness. Many bedrooms make it easy to spread out. 4 bedrooms upstairs and lots of room downstairs for kids to bunk up. Local wineries, breweries, cideries and golf courses make Southwest Michigan a perfect vacation spot. New pickleball courts at New Buffalo High School! The Warren Dunes are a 5 minute drive.
Come relax and enjoy!!

We had a wonderful week with our 5 children and their spouses,and 5 grandchildren. Fun walks to the beach and relaxing quality time there every day. Plenty of room in the kitchen with everything you need. So great to have the extra fridge and freezer handy in the garage. The house is in top shape. The beds are very comfy. Huge backyard. We would definitely go back.

Cherry Beach Retreat

This house was great. Exceeded our expectations. Had everything we needed. Kitchen and baths very well stocked and beach supplies an added plus. The walk to beautiful Cherry Beach was easy and pleasant. The whole family, ages 1 year to 84 enjoyed the spectacular sunset every night! We would definitely rent here again!

The perfect getaway!

Everything about our stay was perfect! We do a friends trip every year and this was one of our favorites! It was very family friendly, super clean and a lot to do! The backyard was beautiful with a gas fire pit and wood burning pit. We spent 98% of our time outside. Highly recommend!

Great house in a great location!

Our entire family (kids and grandparents included) vacationed in this house and has a wonderful stay! The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of yard space and a great deck. The beach was a short walk away and all beach supplies were available in the house including towels, sand toys and chairs. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. We would love to stay here again!

Annual family vacation

House was great. We were 14 adults and 3 kids. There were plenty of beds and lots of space. Back deck was great and short walk to the beach! Another fridge in basement would have been nice with so many people and a baby we could have used the space. Overall a great stay!

Great place for family gathering

15 of us stayed here for 3 nights. There was plenty of space for all. We did not have en suite bathrooms for all the couples, but we were fine sharing! The cousins loved the bunk room! It was nice to be close to the more private beach, but also just a short drive from dunes and shops in several places.

We had a great stay in Lakeside. There were plenty of rooms and beds to go around for our party of 12. Basement was a must for spreading out. It was really hot (well over 100) when we visited and the house stayed nice and cool those days. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and kitchenware for cooking. Patio had nice furniture for us to all eat outside together. The beach stuff (several chairs, at least 5 giant floaties, wagon, plenty of huge beach towels) were incredible and we made sure to take good care of it all because it is not common for rentals to come with that sort of stuff. It was fantastic and added a layer of fun.

Loved easy walk to Cherry Beach, Luisa's Cafe and Swedish Bakery too. Loved the large deck and yard for our family of 8 adults and 4 littles. Kitchen appliances worked well, outdoor grill too. 2-car att garage served as a good play area with garage door open on drizzly days. Bathroom lacked a tub so we had to rent one for the littles. An ensuite would have been great but we shared the two on the main level. Laundry machines worked great. One of the mechanicals in the basement needed service (vibrated on and off constantly) and owner said she'd take care of that. We had a wonderful family vacation!

Wonderful stay near the beach

Our group had a wonderful stay at this property. Mary was a great host - very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The property itself is perfect - plenty of comfortable beds and bedrooms, a large deck and yard, and tons of space for our large group. The little things are taken care of, too: ample towels, toiletries, and all the kitchen accessories you need. Certainly the most homey rental property we have stayed at. The house is about a half mile to a nice sandy beach, and plenty of chairs, toys, and floaties are provided. No complaints whatsoever; everyone in our group was happy with our stay. Highly recommend!

Pleasant retreat

The property was just as was described. We had 6 adults and 2 children which it easily accommodated. It served as a gathering place for our family including my son and wife who live in Three Oaks. We especially appreciated the fully equipped kitchen although we didn't cook while there. The backyard and deck was private and pleasant. TV was important too because we needed to be able to watch the UM football game. The host was responsive and helpful at every turn. Great location for the beach too.

So clean and well stocked

This was the best vacation rental I’ve stayed in in my 30+ years. The home was very clean and SO well stocked - plenty of paper goods, trash bags, every kitchen utensil you could need, sooo many towels, firewood for 2 big fires…. I can’t think of anything more the host could have provided. On top of that the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for our group of 18 adults and kids to spread out. It was an easy .75 mile walk to the beach and very drivable to lots of restaurants and breweries. I think we might make this the permanent spot for our annual friend group vacation!

Good location on a quiet street. Enjoyable 10 minute walk to a great beach. Nice, big backyard for everyone to play with a great fire pit. Plenty of bedrooms for a group of 14 which included young kids, teens and adults. Very well stocked with toilet paper, shampoo, soap, etc. Plenty of bath towels for all, but oddly not a single wash cloth. We had to make a trip to the store and purchase a bunch. The propane tanks were out so we had to fill one up out of our own pockets which was a little surprising. And there’s a water pressure system that made a subtly obnoxious noise all night long that is quite loud in a few of the bedrooms. Things go wrong, I get it it, but I saw this in a previous review and hoped it would’ve been fixed prior to our stay. Aside from that, a great home that I recommend.
