Lagom Sunset Retreat: Hot Tub, Lake Michigan Beach, Home Theater, Sunset Views

LAGOM - Sunset Retreat

Hip mid-century modern meets rustic log cabin with stunning lakefront views, private hot tub, home theater, Lake Michigan beach access, and more!

There is a unique Swedish and Norwegian term - lagom (LAH-gum) - that is the inspiration behind the name of this special property along the bucolic shores of Lake Michigan. It describes an ethereal way of life that is “just the right amount,” “in balance,” and “perfect-simple.”It also explains the harmonious state of mind you and your guests will experience at this one-of-a-kind, meticulously renovated log cabin with a cool, modern Scandinavian vibe—no matter the season.

The first thing you'll notice is the trendy interior which has been lovingly and thoughtfully remodeled from top to bottom (2020) with the enjoyment of you and your guests as a top priority: fresh carpet, paint, and custom wallpaper; a finished lower level with a spacious home theater; and an upgraded chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, a cozy coffee corner, and a full-size dishwasher to make cleanup a breeze.

The kitchen-adjacent dining area features a large table that comfortably seats eight and encourages daily communal meals. Flow easily into the cozy living room where you will adore the two-story soaring ceilings, curl up with a good book next to the wood-burning fireplace, or simply sit back and relax in the hanging chair.

When it's time to retreat for the evening, the main level has a convenient queen bedroom and full bathroom perfect for those who would rather not climb stairs. Otherwise, head upstairs to the lofted master bedroom. This space overlooks the living room below but still provides a sanctuary away from it all. The electric fireplace is perfect for creating ambiance and the hammock is the ideal place for an afternoon nap. The upper level also has a queen guest room with an electric fireplace and a full bathroom.

The finished lower level is an ideal hideaway. Relax and enjoy the latest movie or catch the big game in the comfortable home theatre, complete with a Roku setup allowing you to sign into a variety of your favorite streaming services.

The outside space at Lagom is a true gem. Take in Mother Nature's expansive, breathtaking sunsets and sunrises while you soak away your worries in your own private hot tub on the covered back porch. Once you're completely relaxed, saunter down to the blufftop fire pit to gather with your loved ones, roast s'mores, and clink glasses while watching the lightning bugs, snowflakes, or fall leaves float by as if in slow motion.

If Lake Michigan is calling your name, the association access point is directly next door. Descend the steps to the sugar sand beach where you can stroll for miles along the coast, take a dip in the refreshing water, or squish your toes in the sand while you sit and meditate.

After you've worked up a healthy appetite, head back home to prepare a hearty lunch to enjoy on the spacious bluffside deck overlooking Lake Michigan in all her greatness.

Now that you've explored the immediate grounds of Lagom, venture out with a quick drive to Saugatuck, Douglas, South Haven, or Holland. These charming cities are all located within a 30-minute drive and provide the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the popular restaurants, imbibe at a local winery or brewery, shop amongst the eclectic boutiques and art galleries, hunt for treasurers at the many antique shops and roadside farm stands, attend a seasonal event like the Holland Tulip Festival or Douglas Halloween Parade, or take in an exciting live performance at one of the many local theaters. Or explore the surrounding water and land by kayaking, paddle boarding, or taking a hike at a local state park, wildlife sanctuary, or sand dunes.

This is you enjoying the lake life of Pure Michigan to its absolute fullest, and we think you'll agree after staying at Lagom, that it's not only a place but a feeling - one that will stay with you long after you leave.

Please Note:
- The lower level only has 1 exit. Sleeping here is at your own risk.
- The home theater has a Roku set up to stream all your favorite shows. You will need to use your own login for each of the apps (Netflix, Prime, Disney+, etc.).
- The wood-burning fireplace in the main-level living room and the electric fireplaces in the bedrooms are available in the winter months only. The wood stove on the lower level is for decorative purposes only and is not available for use.
- This home receives water via a well. Due to the high mineral content in our area, this water smells and tastes different than city water. Though the water is safe to drink, those who are accustomed to city water may wish to bring bottled water for drinking. We caution you about washing white laundry here, as the well water can sometimes leave an orange tinge.
- This home is on a private septic system. To ensure proper function, please flush toilet paper only. Do not flush items such as wipes, feminine products, paper towels, or other materials, as they can cause damage or backups.
- This property is perched on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Due to erosion, the bluff is very steep. Please keep an eye on children and pets.
- This home is nestled in a beautiful natural setting where wildlife and insects are part of the charm. Routine pest control services are in place to ensure the comfort of our guests, but on occasion, a curious critter may make its way inside, especially if doors are left open. If you notice any evidence of pests indoors, please notify our office promptly so we can address the situation.
