Lake Michigan Beachfront Home~Near Mackinac Ferry

Welcome to The Beach Hutch, your home away from home! If you are searching for the perfect beach front vacation spot, your search is over. Located on Lake Michigan’s pristine north shore and offering 120 feet of private soft sand beach, this truly spectacular home encompasses everything you would expect in a beach front home.
Entering the home, you are greeted with a large open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and bright airy windows offering exceptional lake views from almost every room. There is a spacious well-equipped Kitchen with bar seating for 4 and table seating for 6. The sink has Purified Reverse Osmosis drinking water so you won't have to bring or buy bottled water! You will also find the washer/dryer as well as Bedroom/Bathroom 1 in this area of the home. Next you will enter the Great Room with a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, cozy couch seating for 5 and a 60-inch HDTV. Off to one side of the Great Room are Bedrooms 2 & 3 along with Bathroom 2.

From the Sunroom you can access the wrap around deck, teak table, grill and outdoor shower.

Some of the amenities provided are Adirondack chairs, kayaks, water and sand toys, and a Little Tikes playground. The soft sandy bottom and gradual sloping water depth allow for some of the best swimming in the area. On the other end of the beach is a firepit.

Nice comfortable home in a great location

Our family really enjoyed our stay at The Beach Hut. It was still cool during our stay so the sunroom area was perfect to enjoy the view of the lake. Very convenient location to St. Ignace. Comfortable beds and furniture for days at the house. Would definitely stay again.

Great location on Lake Michigan

Obviously the best thing about this vacation rental is the location. The views and beach were lovely! The house was ok but definitely gets used a lot and had some old/broken things. Overall we enjoyed our stay as the house is just a place to stay and we were mostly on the beach and in the water.

Bluff Beach Hutch Stay

We truly enjoyed this property! We stayed at the Bluff Beach Hutch. The home is huge, had a wonderful view of the water and a beach just a few steps away, with privacy!

Perfect, quiet getaway!

Our family (2 adults and 5 kids) loved everything about this beautiful home! It’s tough to find a fun vacation spot for kids ranging from age 2-14 but this one did it. We didn’t want to leave and there has been a unanimous decision to return someday! Communication with the owners was spot on, as well, which is really important to us. Thank you Hutchings Family!

Spacious Accommodations, Gorgeous Views

Loved our stay at the Beach Hutch! We came for a ladies’ weekend and enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the fire pit, and of course the lake views! The location was convenient to downtown and the grocery store, and the house is well appointed (for families traveling with kids as well). It’s a little hard to spot from the highway - be on the lookout for the round blue sign!

Stunning place!

This is the second time we've stayed at the Beach Hutch, and we hope to return again next year. The location is perfect, the home is spacious and clean. The views in the great room are stunning. We made a few day trips last year and this year. It's a great location to hit multiple UP attractions in one stay. Michelle and John are fantastic hosts! See you next year!

Beautiful beachfront property with gorgeous views.

Great house with large rooms. The front room is practically on the water with stunning sunsets and views of the freighters, St. Helene Island & lighthouse. Big deck and nice beach but it was the wrong time of year to enjoy them. Nicely equipped kitchen - plenty of space for a family. And just a sort drive into town and to attractions or to nearby hiking trails.

The Beach Hutch is wonderful for family get togethers come rain or shine.

We had storms an afternoon and evening while we were at The Beach Hutch. The cards and games were great and my 2 year old grandson had the best time playing with the children's toys! When the sun came out after the storms, the tide went out. I mean way, way out! We could walk in the water further than we could swim when the tide was in. Thanks our family, including our miniature schnauzer, all had a wonderful time playing in the water.

Great get away place

The house is tucked away behind trees so it's not visible from the highway. Lighting at the doorway going into the garage where you enter the house. The house has nice big windows facing the lake. Beautiful view all day. The house is very roomy and lots of space to spread out. Outside is a porch with lawn chairs so you can send on the porch and the enjoy the view. There is also a small charcoal grill, table and chairs and off to the side of the porch is a fire pit. Kid friendly yard and house.

Perfect fall break!

The house, the hosts, and the location made this the perfect fall break for our family! Being right on the beach and watching the constant changing sky over the lake from the sunroom was spectacular. The house was clean and comfortable and we especially appreciated being able to bring our dog with us. The location was easy for us to take day trips to Mackinac Island and get back with enough time to end our evening with a fire on the beach and roasting marshmallows. We can only imagine how perfect it would be to enjoy the property in the summer! Maybe next time!

The Marvelous Beach Hutch!

Start with a beautiful house on magnificent Lake Michigan, add kayaks and ping pong and a fire pit for sunset-watching, and you are guaranteed a wonderful vacation. The two large living rooms and large kitchen afford comfortable space to socialize or for kids to break off for their own endeavors. Restaurants and amenities (groceries/wine/liquor) are minutes away. Our group of 10 family members from 11 yrs to Senior all felt at home and plan to visit the Beach Hutch again. You should too!

We loved the Beach Hutch

The Beach Hutch gave our family a lifetime of wonderful memories as we explored the UP. The location is excellent for getting to all the things to do and places to see. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything that we needed. The views from the beach and sun room were amazing. What a great way to start the day with a cup of coffee watching the waves roll in. It was even better to end the day around the fire pit with a drink in hand watching the sun set, the moon rise, and then the stars shining. Michelle was an excellent and very attentive hostess. She responded very promptly to any questions that we had. We can't wait to go back!
