Relax on your own private beach on stunning Lake Michigan

FULLY RENOVATED HOME, PRIVATE LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH, LAKE VIEWS, SUNSETS

Come and bring your family and friends. Swim and play on your own huge private, sandy beach. Toast on your own bluff at sunset. Take long walks along the beach all year long.

This secluded cottage home has been freshly renovated with new living spaces. There is a large back deck for lounging and dining. From there, a large yard leads to the edge of the bluff where you'll find stairs down to the beach.

You’ll have your own private beach with the gear you need already down at the beach — beach chairs, umbrellas, and more for plenty of summer fun.

Good house for a larger family or a group. Large living room with new OLED TV. Dining table seats up to 10 and serves double-duty for WFH, puzzles, cards or board games.

Large, bright kitchen is outfitted with everything needed for big breakfasts and evening dinners. Large island with stools, 36” dual-fuel Bertazzoni range, two sinks and super-quiet Bosch dishwasher. Includes Ninja blender, cookware, built-in microwave.

Four bedrooms sleep 10 comfortably. Two bedrooms have queen-size beds, one has queen bunk beds, and one has twin bunks. One bathroom features tub-shower combo with towel warmer; the second bathroom has a walk-in shower.

Home is about .3 miles walking distance to the Union Pier Whistle Stop and Red Arrow Roadhouse. It's a pretty short drive to Union Pier Market, Flagship Fish Market, and Sawyer Garden Center.

Cook at home or enjoy dozens of local restaurants in Harbor Country: Red Arrow Roadhouse, Timothy’s, Gather, Skip’s, Union Pier Social. Check out the area’s breweries and distilleries, including Seedz, Beer Church, Ghost Isle, Greenbush, Haymarket and Journeyman.

Available year-round for fall, winter or spring getaways. Home has wood burning fireplace, outdoor fire pit, and year-round Jacuzzi hot tub outside on the back patio. There are plenty of fall cool weather activities, apple orchards, cross country skiing, wineries and more.

Stunning Home & Breathtaking Patio Views

This home is elegantly designed with a modern boho charm and spotlessly clean. Everything about the process and stay was effortless. I stayed with 3 friends for some R&R. Everyone raved about the home - it’s amenities - and how comfortable the beds are!! This was a huge plus! I travel quite a bit and most places I do not sleep well. I stayed in the first room and slept like a dream. The view of the lake from interior is limited but asa you step out on the deck, it lays out in front of you. We sat on the deck a lot and enjoyed the hot tub our last evening here. The large hot tub is a definite plus! 124 steps to the beach, which wasn’t as bad as it looked intimidating at first! I had my morning meditation and coffee there and even though it was April morning chilly, it was spectacular and secluded. I’ve been using VRBO for over 15 years and this home is in my top 5! The owners are kind and thoughtful. Make sure you leave a rock on their chimney - another flare we just loved! Thank you

Wonderful stay

Our entire stay was so relaxing and easy. We loved the private beach and easy access to chairs, umbrellas and toys. We had two families with kids ranging from 6-14 and everyone had enough space and privacy while still enjoying each other’s company. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. We spent the day relaxing at the beach and evenings watching the sunset, relaxing in the porch and playing games at the dining table. It was The perfect family vacation!

Wonderful

This was probably the best place we’ve stayed since vacationing at Lake Michigan. The hosts were wonderful and quick to respond. The house was beautifully updated and well stocked.

Gorgeous property overlooking the Lake

My husband and three of our grown children enjoyed a long weekend at this cabin. It has been completely remodeled and is beautiful inside. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and gorgeous.There are all the appliances you need to prepare meals in the state of the art kitchen. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after spending the days enjoying the private Lake Michigan beach. There are 125 steps down to the beach so be prepared for a good stairs workout!!

Wonderful lake house reunion

I stayed at the house in late June with 3 adult friends. the house is very comfortable and well decorated. The size worked well (4 bed/2 bath) and loved the outdoor space (seating area, dining area and walk to beach). My only feedback would be more accuracy around the beach/lake view (the house sits back quite a bit, so definitely no lake view). There is also a run down house on the same property that is a bit of an eyesore. It would also be nice to have some basic staples to get started (salt/pepper, 1 day of coffee, etc). Although not having these items also meant the kitchens was super clean without any “leftovers” from other guests.
