The Hunn House is the perfect Lake Michigan retreat to relax, explore, and gather! Enjoy a driftwood campfire on the beach!
Welcome to the Hunn House, a beautifully restored mid-century modern home perched on a dramatic bluff overlooking Lake Michigan -- the perfect place for family reunions, retreats, or a gathering of friends looking for a place to unwind.
Named after Florence Ely Hunn, a pioneering midcentury architect and designer, this updated historic home sleeps up to 14 people and includes 167 feet of private beach. Natural light streams into the Hunn House; nine large windows in the living area provide stunning views of the lake, including some of the most beautiful sunsets in the country.
The owners of this home recently brought Hunn’s vision for the property back to life. The interior has been carefully designed to highlight the distinctive geometric spaces of the home and complement the sweeping lake views. The home features a large open concept living space where a modern kitchen with island, spacious living room, and roomy dining space provide the perfect open area for entertaining a large group or having a quiet evening overlooking the lake. Wake up to lake views, soak in the calm breezes on one of two patios, and enjoy a movie night with either one of the two large flatscreen smart TVs with high-speed internet.
Located in the coveted Pier Cove, the Hunn House offers a perfect sanctuary for those who want to escape the noise and pace of modern life. Nearby you'll find local wine, beer and cider at Modales Wines, Fenn Valley Wineyards, Saugatuck Brewery, and Virtue Cider. There are local fruit farms that are great to visit in season. At Crane’s Orchards, you can pick your own fruit summer and fall; Crane’s Pie Pantry offers dining, and a place to buy delicious pies and apple cider donuts. At Blue Star Farms, you can pick your own blueberries, find specialty blueberry products, or buy blueberries in bulk. You'll be literally surrounded by the beauty and bounty of Southwest Michigan! Situated just south of the Saugatuck-Douglas area, west of Fennville and north of South Haven, you will find that there are many things to do within a short drive – antique shops, farm markets, and places to eat.

We gathered a group of friends and family here for a weekend retreat, and we were stunned at the beauty of the property. The view is amazing from inside the house. It was so windy and mostly rainy, all weekend and we couldn't really enjoy being outside much, but it didn't matter. We all sat in the living room and worked in the kitchen, and it was life-changing. The fireplace in the bedroom was amazing. I've never had the chance to be somewhere so luxurious, and everyone else said the same. We read a bit about the architect and were so moved by her story. What a rebel. The hosts were very easy to communicate with, and even had the housekeeper bring over blankets when the temperature dropped by 10 degrees overnight. It all felt so aligned, and we would love to come back! This property is one of the A+ stunner properties in the area - if you're weighing multiple properties, pick this one!
This property is stunning inside and out. The beach was lovey and easy to access from the steps. We enjoyed nightly fires and gorgeous sunsets. If you cook, plan to bring your own spices - there wasn't even salt!!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay! All details were meticulously thought out. All we were missing was water shoes and large floaties for the water as the beach is very rocky.
Beautiful house, very well maintained and in a lovely spot. Very convenient to all the wonderful things to see and do in the area.
