Fantastic lake views in woodland/garden setting w/23' ceilings, firepit/chiminea

The soaring ceilings and panoramic windows of this comfortably contemporary home accentuate the stunning lake views and the forest that surrounds this wonderful getaway home. It is situated on 4 acres of woodland on a private road. Natural light floods every room.

You can rest assured that you will have an excellent vacation experience.

The lake view from the fully equipped contemporary kitchen opens onto the dining area with a table (comfortably seating 8) before moving onto the panorama of the woods and finally Lake Michigan. The adjoining open living room again provides views of Lake Michigan.

For morning coffee, you can wander down to the two Adirondack chairs facing the lake and listen to the waves as well as to the cardinals, gold finches, red-winged blackbirds and 4 kinds of woodpeckers. Perhaps later that day, you’ll take a hike in the woods where you might come across deer, raccoon, possum, beaver, cranes and swans.

Off the kitchen lies an office area with reading spot and a bookshelf that hides 4 chairs and 2 tables for extra seating. Also awaiting you is a surprise message painted on the wall.

For TV, quiet reading or playing board games you can head to the den. There is an extensive selection of board games, cards, puzzles and books for all ages plus a fleet of toy trucks.

The over-sized patio off the kitchen includes a chiminea fire pit, lovely perennial garden, cocktail area and dining table for 8. While most gardens are an after thought at rental properties, this extensive shade garden is a show stopper.

The master bedroom is on the main floor with private bathroom and another gorgeous view of the surrounding forest. There are also 2 bedrooms on the second floor with a shared bathroom. One has 2 trundle beds, for a total of 4 sleeping spots, perfect for the kids, and the other a full size bed.

You can enjoy miles of fine sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of Lake Michigan with a five minute walk (no long steps to navigate) or by car to the drop off/parking spot at the entrance to the beach.

For the more energetic, there’s a full size horse shoe pit. and 2 basic bicycles which you can use to explore the many deserted roads that encircle Lake Michigan.

There are a myriad of activities in our town of Montague which is only 10 minutes by car: an old fashioned ice cream parlor, gift shops, coffee house, book store, kayak rentals, restaurants, drugstore, gas station, farmers market and supermarket.

Every Tuesday night at the band shell adjacent to beautiful White Lake, you can enjoy concerts as well as the annual jazz and chamber music festivals. Not to mention fireworks on the 4th and the world famous Pumpkin Roll.
