Beautiful Lake Michigan Home - Private Beach - Prime Week Now Open, June 22-29

"The sun is out, the grill is hot, and the water is luke. If I can interest you in a swim and a little BBQ, just follow me..."

Get away from it all and enjoy the privacy of this "Pure Michigan" rambling cottage on almost 2 acres with your own private beach. The location is perfect - 15 minutes to Saugatuck or South Haven, and a million miles away from everything else!

Have the best of both worlds: a secluded cabin in the woods, right on Lake Michigan. Perfect for a family get-away, and large enough to accommodate multiple families and larger groups.

The beach is in your backyard - no road to cross, and no neighbors or association to share with. There are 82 easy steps down to the private beach - perfect for using the 2 kayaks or 2 stand up paddle boards. Use the 18-foot floating mat to get the whole family out on the water! Or just lay in the hammock at the bluff to watch the clouds and the boats go by. Enjoy the sound of the surf and the beautiful sunsets, while you relax with a beverage on the Adirondacks at bluff’s edge. Great backyard for family games: bags, badminton, and others.

The kitchen, island, and bar area, are set up for entertaining a large group. A chef's stove and stainless cookware make for grand meals indoors. Or cook outdoors in the new outdoor kitchen with beverage fridge. The indoor kitchen boasts a wet bar with beverage fridge and stand alone ice maker to help ensure the beverages keep flowing.

Ground floor Master Bedroom Suite has its own fireplace, with private access to the deck, and en suite bathroom. Two other ground floor queen bedrooms will each comfortably house a couple and share a full bathroom. You can pile the kids into the two upstairs bunk rooms for a week of fun they will never forget! One room has 3 twins and the other has 2 twins, and there is a half bath upstairs. The twin beds are all on wheels, and can be pushed together to make a king in each room, so the house will hold 5 couples, each in their own room.

High-speed Xfinity Internet with Wi-Fi access all the way to the beach allows you to stay connected, or you can leave your phone behind and relax off the grid. The house has central Air Conditioning and a backup generator to make sure that you are never without power. Window Air Conditioners upstairs make for comfortable sleeping in any room.

The house is perfectly located right in the middle of "Lakeshore Harvest Country" - numerous wineries, breweries, quaint restaurants, farm stands, and antique stores, among other diversions, make for no shortage of things to do. Virtue Cider, Waypost Brewing, Evergreen Lane Creamery, Crane's Orchards, and Saugatuck Brewing Company among others make for fun outings. The property backs up to Dee's Lakeshore Family Farm, which offers U-pick in season and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to purchase. Here is a link to a map of nearby farms, wineries, and other attractions:

Voted "Best Family Vacation Yet"
Absolutely wonderful property with something for everyone (plus a personable, informative, quick to respond host...Thanks Jeff!) My husband and sons enjoyed the best views while reading, all the kids loved the kayaks and SUPs, I loved walking the beach looking for rocks. Grandkids had tons of yard games to choose from, along with buckets/shovels/etc for the beach. Campfires at night, coffee with a lakeview in the morning! This house is...quirky, with LOADS of personality. By far, the most comfortable, welcoming, "liveable" vacation home we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. We've already booked for next year!

Awesome Vacation
WOW - all I can say is this house was PERFECT for a week with my entire family (7 adults, 2 toddlers, 2 infants). Jeff, the owner is very quick and efficient with his communication. See key points from our stay below: -When we arrived, the house was very cleaned and VERY organized. Everything is labeled which makes it very convenient for guests. -The house is well equipped for cooking as we cooked dinner each night. -We ate outside every night at the big picnic table out back…it fit all of us comfortably. -The backyard is where we spent most of our time. The kids enjoyed playing in the yard and the adults enjoyed the views of the lake from the patio. -The private beach was very convenient for all. Jeff has made the steep trek down to the beach very accessible with heavy duty stairs. -The house comes with paddle boards, kayaks and a magic carpet to use. My grandson LOVED using the kids kayak and would have spent all day in it if he could. Overall, this was a 10 out of 10. We can’t wait to come back!

A perfect fit
This spacious home was perfect for our family of 8 that included 3 small children. There was plenty of room inside and out for gathering together and for finding quiet time when needed. We enjoyed the beach, the various provided games, the large and well equipped kitchen for making meals together, and the evening ritual of watching that wonderful view of the sunset. Any questions that we had during our stay were quickly answered by the owner who couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. We made great memories in a beautiful setting and would love to visit again in the future.

All 9 of us loved our week here...
We are a 3 generation family ages 3-70. I asked each one to comment for the review. "If you don't like silence, move on..." ""Beautiful setting with something for everyone." "Tranquil" "The perfect mix between backwoods, backyard and beach." "Quite relaxing even without the state flower of Michigan!" "Lots of animals in the yard. If you like nature it is a good place." We had room to spread out and also gather together. And we had black squirrels galore. Who knew?

Great lake front experience in a spacious cabin
Perfect getaway for two, as well as for a large family. A few maintenance items need attention, but many may not even notice. The beech access is a challenge, but well worth making the trip from the house to the beach. Walkable beach depends on season and tides, but we enjoyed every minute of a beach walk in high winds and surf.

Great rental with privacy and own stairs to the private beach. Amazing sunset views. So incredibly peaceful. Frog pond, all the lawn games and children's toys were a great addition to the house. Beautiful kitchen! Enough space for six adults and one toddler. Hammock, swing and treehouse were so much fun! Lots of space in backyard to run around and lounge. Everyone from ages 3 to 80 years old loved it! Highly recommend this rental!.

Great vacation home with stunning view
We really enjoyed our stay at this large, clean vacation home with comfortable furnishings. The house is nicely decorated with lots of amenities, and the communications from the hosts had all the information we needed, and really made us feel that they cared about us having an enjoyable stay. We were a family group of 6 adults. The huge backyard space included plenty of places for all of us to sit outside to enjoy the view of the lake and the sunsets, play corn hole and a tree swing. The stairs leading down to the lake were nice and sturdy, and we loved walking around on the private beach. We would stay here again, and highly recommend it.

Lake Michigan splendor
The home fit our group perfectly with five kids upstairs and six adults downstairs. The home was well equipped, particularly the kitchen. The wine fridge and ice maker were nice bonus amenities. The outdoor space and facilities between the house and the steps to the Lake were fantastic. Everything was used from floating raft to kayaks to stand-up paddle boards to fire pit (two nights with s'mores!) If you have young children or grandchildren, like I did, the swing and climbing structure were a HUGE hit. The entry from the beach to the Lake was very rocky ... water shoes or very tough feet are essential. Jeff has done a great job with pest control as we were virtually mosquito-free. The wifi worked well and is available all the way to the beach due to Jeff's efforts to provide the required electronics. We had hoped to bike into Saugatuck but there is not a good path and it is too far. This is a fantastic VRBO property if you're looking for a family vacation with privacy yet easy access to Saugatuck and Holland.

Wonderful Place to Stay on Lake Michigan!
Our annual Canada trip was upended by Covid and a closed border, but the silver lining was a wonderful experience on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan. We had six adults, four kids, and an infant, and Jeff's place felt like a perfect amount of space for all of us living together for an entire week. Great kitchen, beautiful sunroom, large backyard and outdoor living space, lots of shoreline to explore, immaculate sunsets...for a 4th of July week this was just what we needed. In fact on the actual 4th, we experienced dead calm "seas" along with clear blue skies, and I was able to take a kayak hundreds of yards out onto the lake where I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets of my life. The blood orange sun was dropping into forever on the flat watered horizon. Very cool. We also spent time exploring the area, including breweries, wineries, cideries, restaurants, and some of the shops and attractions in the various nearby towns. The house was within 15-20 minutes of all of these places; very convenient. And lastly, thank you Jeff. The week before our trip, tornado like storms literally ripped the stairway leading down to the lake into shreds, but when we arrived, Jeff had built a new stairway with his bare hands. Given the precipitous slope of these coastal shores, I know the task wasn't easy, but it allowed us to access the shore and lake directly from the backyard, and for that, I really appreciate Jeff's effort. Thank you! Jim

Very Special Property
Our family had a spectacular week at this very special property. The location is perfect. 15 minutes to Saugatuck or South Haven, and a million miles away from everything else. My wife and i have seen some of the best sunsets in the world (Charlevoix, Santorini, etc) and the ones viewed from this property's adirondack chairs out back rival them all. The house is not 5 stars, so set your expectations accordingly. That said, it is clean, quant, and cozy, providing a perfect 'cottage' getaway. The kitchen is updated and the master is very comfortable. Our 5 and 3 year olds loved their loft bedrooms and the frog pond out front provided endless entertainment. The internet was fine - just poor enough to give us a reason to disconnect, but there if we really needed it. Thank you for hosting us.
