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.

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

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!

Our family really enjoyed staying in the house for the weekend as we enjoyed the lake and the neighborhood! Plenty of sleeping arrangements and a large kitchen to cook meals in was amazing. And the view of the lake from the large living room windows was fantastic as well! The host was very nice and helped provide some recommendations for spots to check out around town.
