Lake Shore House is a fully equipped vacation rental on Lake Michigan. Beautiful unobstructed lake views on one of America’s Great Lakes, offers a relaxing mid-week, weekend, or week retreat. Since 2007 we have hosted hundreds of guests at Lake Shore House, providing them with ambience, cleanliness, and an easy reservation and access procedure. We are open 365 days a year. Guests come from Europe and all 50 states to enjoy the lake. In summer they enjoy the beach and tranquility, fall the autumnal colors and privacy, winter the frozen lake and winter activities and spring to cure cabin fever with a fresh getaway. The sunrise and moonrise shimmering across the lake have brought special memories to guests and families throughout the year and are reflected in the Lake Shore House visitor’s log.

Not your typical cookie-cutter destination, Lake Shore House offers privacy in a single-family home that features central air-conditioning, hardwood floors, laundry, wood-burning stove, one-car garage, expansive deck, updated kitchen and bathes. Sleeping accommodations for six, two second floor bedrooms with skylights and ceiling fans, one with a king size bed and a balcony overlooking the Lake, the other featuring a queen size bed, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the living room with abundant natural light from three directions. The main floor ceramic tile bath has a full-size tub with shower and pedestal sink. The lower level features a half-bath, laundry and a twin rollaway bed.

If you are a couple, single, family, multi-generational, girl’s getaway or other guest, we have hosted just about every type and lifestyle of guest. We embrace diversity. We are dog friendly and have had just about every breed of dog. If you would like to bring yours, tell us something about them, we rarely turn well groomed and behaved dogs away.

As your host, I am equipped to handle last-minute bookings.

Exterior Maintenance: Like all accommodation providers, exterior maintenance (lawn mowing, weeding, pruning and snow shoveling) needs to be addressed occasionally during your stay at Lake Shore House. We attempt to limit these activities and arrange to accomplish them forty-five minutes prior to check out time (10 AM). Sometimes you might see me as the owner, or a person contracted to perform exterior routine maintenance on the property at other times as well.

Mostly good

The house wasn't quite as clean as advertised. (I took photos.) Tracks on the floor, stuff in sink. Needed blankets in living room! Biggest issue is lack of communication. The locks were due to be changed after we checked out. We were not told until we were locked out of the house. After over an hour we were able to get back in, but the whole experience was unnecessarily stressful. If Mark is willing to give us a partial refund, we'd like to stay at the property again. My partner loved it, aside from being locked out.

Weekend Getaway

Such a cozy spot to spend a special weekend getaway! Mark allowed our 2 pups to join and did everything to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The view was outstanding, the home was spotless and the art gallery was so cool. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. Highly recommend!

This is a great place to stay! All the convenience of home and with an excellent view of the lake. Missing the sound of the waves already! There were binoculars to look out on the lake, games and puzzles, movies to watch. Close to shopping. Hour from Milwaukee or greenbay. It was a perfect place to stay and enjoy out visit with family close by.

Wonderful Lake Michigan Views!

This is the second time we've stayed here - the views of Lake Michigan are amazing! There are decks on both floors and a wonderful patio to enjoy the sunrises over the lake. The house is very comfortable and close to dining and other activities in downtown Sheboygan. Highly recommend!

Cute, clean home with awesome views of Lake Michigan

Very nice house with owners artwork displayed throughout & for sale. Sheboygans historic downtown only a few blocks away, beach park even closer. I am an 82 yr old fit senior with bad knees but was able to negotiate the narrow steep steps to the 2 upstairs bedrooms while being very careful. You will love the views, peaceful surroundings, and cleanliness here. Enjoy!

Fantastic View of Lake Michigan

Quaint cottage with super special backyard high above the Lake. Comfortable with items needed to prepare meals. Somewhat worn, but an excellent value. Location was pretty quiet and secure. Problem for older folks is that the bedrooms are upstairs with steep steps and the bathroom is on the lower living floor.

Wonderful!

Older home, very nicely updated. Close to neighbors on both sides, but still very private thanks to tall hedges. Property drops off sharply towards water so be watchful with kids, dogs. Extremely good location -- convenient to town and beaches. Loved our visit and can't wait to come back!!

Perfect Get Away for the Weekend

Except for the lack of saltwater, we thought we were staying at a gulf shore home on the water! Perfect sunrises, and even caught a nighttime thunder/lightening storm over lake Michigan. Accommodations were excellent and the kitchen was very well appointed. The owner stopped by to wish us well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Location and Incredible view of Lake Michigan

Very nice kitchen and living room. Small TV. Both bedrooms are on second floor with bath/shower on main living area. Lots of stairs, so if you have bad knees this place isn't for you. But the sunrises were amazing and it was quiet and so pleasant to sit out on the back deck on a cliff over looking Lake Michigan. Great location in Sheboygan.

Great stay with a stunning view

This property is a small house directly overlooking the lake. The patio in the back is so welcoming and makes for a relaxing afternoon or evening. The upstairs balcony (also overlooking the lake) made for relaxing mornings: Sipping tea and coffee while watching birds or people on the lake. We only had one sunny day out of our five day stay, but we used it to sit by the fireplace and watch the stars. Even on the rainy days, it was fun to watch the storm roll in over the lake or sit on the couch with a fire going in the wood burning stove and watch a DVD, which are provided. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need and you can tell that the owner really tries to make everyone feel welcomed. We traveled with our dog and she immediately felt welcomed. It's a very short walk to a beach area and a very short drive to downtown Sheboygan. We probably would have walked if it wasn't so rainy. Great restaurants in the area!!! Neighborhood is pretty quiet, clean and the people are all very friendly. We felt safe at all times and really enjoyed our stay. Mark is great at responding fast to any questions you may have. Thank you for such an enjoyable, relaxing stay!

Couple Time

What a relaxing getaway for us who are busy raising three kids- 21,17 and 14. It’s been well over a decade since we did anything as husband and wife, without the kids. We grew up in Port Washington and savored being on Lake Michigan on two beautiful Spring Days. We took lots of walks and ate take out on the patio. With such views who needs a restaurant?? A total gem of a place, we will be back again. Thank you Mark!!

What makes this property unique

The original structure of Lake Shore House was built in 1910, 100 + years ago. Since that time, it has been renovated and updated, but remains a value driven ( one of the most affordable vacation rentals on all of Lake Michigan), year round, cozy cottage directly on one of the Great Lakes. A sample of the improvements include, A/C with Carrier furnace, Kohler plumbing fixtures, solid maple kitchen cabinets and Fridaire appliances, overhead garage door, ceiling fans, recessed lighting on dimmers and Anderson patio doors. As with any vintage home (not exclusively), the age of our house occasionally does present challenges that prove elusive to resolve immediately. Additionally, contractors schedules, supply chain issues, and weather also can factor in expediting permanent remedies for repairs and improvements.

Our reviews reflect that over the last 17 years that we have been proactively hosting guests/travelers at Lake Shore House on this platform and others. Our guests include a diverse range of people, including children of all ages and travelers with dogs. If you are a traveler that is looking for perfection in a vacation rental, I as well as many returning, regular guests ( including one that just completed her 15th stay with us) would suggest that you look at alternative accommodation options at a higher price-point. We are not a hotel or as prescriptive as one, just a cozy, cottage vacation rental that over 2,000 travelers have enjoyed since 2007.

Lake Shore House is on a hill directly on Lake Michigan offering panoramic views of the breakwater, lighthouse, marina district and the lake . Our shoreline frontage consists of erosion control with no lake access. There is a mile long clean beach with a gradual drop off a five minute walk from the house.
