The Beach House at Lakeside, Michigan has been a popular vacation Rental for hundreds of Families for over 30 years. Just a 90 minute drive from Chicago and you and your family or friends will have arrived to a place not just on the other side of the Great Lake but a world away from what you encounter every day. In Lakeside Michigan, you are in a small town that is part of family of beach town communities known as Harbor Country. New Buffalo, Union Pier and Grand Beach are among the neighboring towns.

While frequented for decades by Chicagoans who both vacation here and own second homes, thousands from all over the Midwest and other parts of the country make this area part of their summer every year. Yet when you are in Lakeside, you would never know that others travel many miles to come here too. Now, you too can partake in the laid back beach town experience when you stay a summer week at the Beach House at Lakeside, Michigan.

At the beach House, you have a choice of renting one or two fully furnished units. Each unit will comfortably accommodate up to 10 people and has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and Sunroom.

After you have arrived and settled in, you will no doubt take the short 200 yard walk to the private beach to witness to one of the most impressive sunsets found anywhere on the planet. It is the main attraction of this vacation destination. And on a day when you need a break from the sun and the waves, you can still enjoy a refreshing swim in a heated pool or pedal a bike along the miles of trails that meander through the neighboring towns, forests, farmlands and wine country.

With outdoor patios in the front garden, and back yard, you also have ample seating around the pool for sunbathing or having lunch. At meal time, you have many options to explore. In addition to grilling on the Weber, you will discover the areas many first rate restaurants, a famous burger joint, ice cream shops and cafes.

When you seek some variety, there are the many antique shops along Red Arrow Highway, Golf courses, Fruit picking, art galleries, shopping, the Warren Dunes State park and even a first class Casino in nearby New Buffalo.

When the summer season winds down, the fun continues. With the Fall Season, the area becomes flush with color and beauty. After the pool gets closed for another year, we open our outdoor hot tub for our fall and Winter Guests. Some of you might come for a girls Only weekend or cheer on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in nearby South Bend.

Regardless of whether you come for a summer week, or a Spring, Fall or Winter Weekend, you will leave having just experienced some unforgettable memories along the shores of Lake Michigan when you’ve stayed at the Beach House at Lakeside.

Winter Weekend Getaway

This cottage was a lovely place for a weekend getaway for 3 adult siblings, spouses, and our dogs. The house was very clean and had an open floorplan that was conducive to visiting and playing board games. The kitchen was very thoroughly equipped. While the cottage is clearly geared towards summer rental, it was also lovely in the winter. It was warm and cozy and we loved the easy access to Lake Michigan, which was stunning in the ice and fresh snowfall. The only slight concern for us was that the beds and pillows could have been more comfortable, but we are an older group so perhaps we feel that more than other renters, and otherwise the cottage was very comfortable. I would definitely rent it again.

Cottages were very clean & nicely decorated. The enclosed adjoining porch was great that made it easy for us to go back & forth between the cottages. Kitchen/dining areas were great. Love the oversized stoves as it made cooking for 15 easy. Overall a very nice place.

Great for large family gatherings

We've stayed in several VRBO homes and it probably doesn't make sense that I gave this an overall 4 star but every sub category was 5 star...but there were a few things that we had problems with.Heat - it was difficult to control the baseboard heaters (some didn't have a control know that we could find) and the back bedroom of Cottage B didn't have any heat unless you left the door wide open. My Texan teenage grandsons slept on the couches to stay warm.Shower - the water in the upstairs shower of Cottage B was hard to control. It had a hair line difference between scalding hot and freezing cold. Knives - while there are MANY knives they were very dull. Fortunately I've run into this problem in the past so brought along 3 of my knives - otherwise it would have been VERY frustrating trying to cut the ham or even slice veggies.The communication with Frank was GREAT. But our phones were slow in getting messages (maybe too many of us trying to use the wifi.The house manual is helpful (but a bit overwhelming). The binder does answer most questions you'd have and even has photos to help know where to put items when departing.IT WAS FANTASTIC to have two units so that the older cousins could stay up late without disturbing the younger cousins. There was a large folding table in the closet of one unit as well as folding chairs - we used this each evening so the 16 of us could all eat dinner together. It was WONDERFUL to spend quality time together.

Good for a long weekend

This was a great place to spend a long weekend with 18 friends. The two separate cottages were physically attached, so it was easy to move from one to the other by either the front door or the back door, and each cottage had its unique perks. The hot tub was refreshing, and the beach was easy to access. Would highly recommend.

Great location for family getaway!

Overall we had a wonderful week at the cottages! Wonderful quiet neighborhood setting, fully equipped homes with all you could need in kitchen, etc and the beach is stunning and super close! We had a minor issue with pool cleanliness when we arrived but the owner took care of it as soon as possible. Given the lake setting and amount of moisture, sand, etc the places are clean but our group felt some upholstered furniture needs updating. Both dishwashers gave off a bad smell when used and indicated need of deep cleaning or plumbing issues. Again, lovely place to visit and we loved the beach access and space—we might be overly picky, just though some deep cleaning and updates would make it perfect!

Wonderful experience

We were really dedicated to hosting our families in a shared, yet private space, and we were not disappointed. From walks on the beach to dinners in town, this place has it all. The houses are comfortable and inviting with all amenities, and our host was kind and thoughtful in our communications. Renting two properties is no small amount of money, so we were apprehensive, but quickly found out there was no reason to be. We found an incredible experience and great owners, we can't wait to go back.

Great location, nice place

We only stayed for 2 days for a quick getaway, but the place was great. We had 3 medium size dogs and there was ample amount of room for them. The walk to the beach was super convenient and the hot tub made the stay enjoyable. My only con was the back door had a ton of leaves surrounding the entrance which made it hard not to track in outdoor debris per the house rules. Other than that I would definitely stay again in the future. Hopefully during the summer when the pool is open :)

Cozy and lovely winter weekend!

We really enjoyed our February stay here! The area is just gorgeous in winter time! Frank was easy to communicate with, and getting to and in the house was really easy — just make sure to follow his directions! The house is really clean and spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked, the shower had hot water for post snow activities, we loved the wood-burning fireplace (bring wood!), we slept really well and just were so thankful for the nice hot tub! It felt so good after long cold walks. The house manual is really helpful — make sure to check it out as it answers lots of questions! The beach is just right across the street and down some stairs. It is so nice to be able to just pop over. The waves were frozen, and it was just gorgeous! We loved walking to coffee or drinks in union pier — the location is just awesome! We hope to return to Frank’s place some time soon! A lovely stay!

Not steps away from the beach

The road leading to the house is essentially a dirt road filled with potholes. The beach is no "steps away" but 3/4 of a mile to the entrance. The hot tub had to be shared with the family in the other cottage which actually isn't another cottage but one house split in two. The hot tub water needs to be changed. The water was not good, which we didn't realize until we got in. Then the other family was annoyed at us for getting in the hot tub at 9pm, I believe their children were sleeping. We got out before 10pm but I can imagine making noise outside while their kids are sleeping is problematic. The house had some items were in disrepair, the front yard is weeds with a house being built across the street. The cost is excessive given the location. We could have stayed in a hotel on the lake for that amount. Given that the house wasn't in the greatest condition the list of rules and instructions was also excessive. I would not return to this property.

Enjoyed a nice weekend in cottage B with my husband and dog. The highlight for us was the hot tub- it was very relaxing during the winter time! The cottage is very close to the beach so this would be a great place to stay during the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Frank K

Host profile image
Frank and his wife Mary Ann live with their two children Amanda and Brett in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. Frank is an architect and runs a residential remodeling business. After selling a 2 flat that the couple owned in Chicago, they decided to reinvest in a property they could rent and also enjoy themselves. The property has undergone many changes through the different owners with numerous additions and remodels. After the first summer of ownership in 2001 the couple decided to make better use of the yard space surrounding the cottages. Where previously you could drive almost right up to the front door, it was felt that the cars should be closer to Schaffner Rd. This allowed the the remaining yard space to be laid out better for the pool, decks, spa, brick patios and landscaping improvements.

More changes are in the works and are usually done in the off season. Our goal has been to provide a clean, comfortable and properly maintained home and outdoor spaces with modern necessities like flat screen TV's, internet access, heated pool and A/C while not over improving the house to the point it looses it's by-gone era nostalgic charm. We focus on some not so obvious things like quality beds and linens, outdoor showers, preventative treatments for insects, easy maintenance of Weber grills, maintaining good relationships and membership with the Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce and our own Orchard Beach Homeowners Association. We have used the same cleaning service for the past several years due to their attentive, timely and excellent service. Almost 1/3rd of our summer rentals are repeat guests, We have one family that has stayed with us for 6 consecutive years.

Why they chose this property

The beach. It is all about the beach. The texture of the sand. The clear lake Michigan water. The sounds of the waves. and the most incredible sunsets. I have been to allot of beaches in allot of places from Florida to California and I can tell you all things considered, ours is the best. The water is clean, no salt, no rocks, no dead sea life. Just great sand, sun and water warm enough for a refreshing swim. It is amazing how much pleasure you can experience from something so simple. The laid back atmosphere and the fact that the house is such a short walk to the beach (200 yards, yes I walked it off) only made it more appealing. A business client had talked about how much she enjoyed her summer getaways to New Buffalo and how nice it was to have a place in such a peaceful setting yet within a reasonable drive. We had no idea that we would become one of her neighbors. We did not find this out until a few years later.

What makes this property unique

Exploring new restaurants and visiting the ones we like (Stray Dog, Brewsters, Capozios, Red Arrow Roadhouse, Timothy's, Oinks). Antiquing (rarely buy anything). Kids love the pool, everyone loves the beach, and when it gets too cold for the beach or pool in the fall, we have the outdoor hot tub. Gas can be up to 50 cents cheaper than Chicago at certain stations in Indiana off I-94. When we need to do any major shopping, Michigan City, Indiana and Benton Harbor, Mi. have huge shopping centers and are each within 20 minutes. Go to Michigan City if you are running late due to the time change.
