Gebhard Chalet - Charming, private, beachfront chalet nestled in a wooded dune on Lake Michigan

The location and proximity to the lake beach were awesome. The house is becoming dated, not ideal for two couples because the second bedroom is up a very steep set of stairs, and only has a half-bath upstairs. The bedrooms are small. The main great room is small and open to the loft upstairs that has two beds - not exactly private. The furniture is dated and kitchen with average stock. No dishwasher. The check-in, communication from the management company and access to the property was great. In my opinion, this property is best suited for a small family with young children seeking a beach house experience, with less comfort.We enjoyed the beach, the peace and quiet and our time on the deck. The view of the sunset through the trees is great, but we had to wash the windows.

Perched atop a woodsy sand dune, we had endless views of the lake and a private beach to enjoy with our family and dogs. The chalet was very clean and manicured. Loved the wood features everywhere to make you feel like you’re in nature. You are very much in the woods so expect bugs on the trip to and from the beach but the house itself was clear, the appliances seemed brand new (props to the cleaning crew) and a storm knocked out the power twice but the backup generator immediately popped on that we didn’t even notice. Overall, a great family getaway, especially if you want to get away from it all.

The Chalet is SO clean and comfortable. Check-in and out were easy. Jaqua Realtors were easy to deal with and any questions we had were immediately answered. The view of Lake Michigan was amazing and, oh my, those sunsets from the beach - wow! This home was beautiful and big enough for me, the hubby, and our pup. It was nicely appointed with dishes, pots & pans, etc. Nice deck area. We spent a little time on the private beach. Put our toes in Lake Michigan which is so clear and beautiful here. This home is convenient to South Haven, Saugatuck, and Holland. We had a blast exploring Warren Dunes, Saugatuck Dunes, and Indiana Dunes National Park. Oh and it's close to local wineries. This chalet is a gem!! We would love to come back and stay here again in the future!

Beach beautiful cabin beautiful accomodations great. Made memories to last a lifetime. Have to be physically fit to use stairs to beach

Beautiful home with fantastic views of water. Was like we were staying in a tree house.

Loved having the private beach. Enjoyed the wind in trees and hearing the waves from deck also.

This property is secluded on a hill overlooking Lake Michigan. The private beach was perfect for us and our little dog. We grill and back patio were perfect. There was a deck about half way down to the beach where we watched terrific sunsets --close up and unimpeded everynight. We wanted privacy and this cozy home provided it. Also close enough to town , shopping etc when we needed something or wanted to get away and enjoy small town life and farmer's markets The house is appointed nicely for a family --we were a couple in the downstairs bedroom and our friend was upstairs. But if there had been more friends, it would have been tighter and less private. Overall, the chalet and secluded location were what we wanted—days on the beach and grilling on the back deck evenings.

The photos made the property seem much bigger. There was no privacy in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Only 1 shower. Liked the appliances. Great to have a washer and dryer. Dishes and cooking utensils were good. Great beach, but an awful lot of stairs. Deck directly behind the hose was dangerous without a railing

Best vacation ever

We had a very nice stay

A comfortable house in a nice part of the state on what may be the best beach I've ever spent time on. We'd love to come back.

Very clean and comfortable! Everything we needed and more! The scenery is gorgeous!

Our chalet was amazing!! A wonderful way to spend our anniversary!!
