Relax with the whole family at this peaceful beach home on the shores of Lake Michigan. This spacious home is the perfect spot to vacation, work remotely, and connect with the people you love.
Perched high on a sand dune and surrounded by nature. This property is the perfect blend of beach access and privacy. This is a fairly remote part of Lake Michigan which means you get incredible access to the water and gorgeous landscapes everywhere you look. Cell phone service, however, is virtually gone once you're about 5-7 minutes from the house. Using wi-fi to make calls and texts on Apple and some Android devices is an easy remedy once you arrive. At a minimum, guests will need to be able to climb a big set of stairs to get inside the home.
Please be aware that we have a video doorbell at the front door for security purposes only. The device is in clear view and includes both a camera and microphone.
The Silver Lake / Hart area has the vacation goodies you need--incredible hiking, biking, sand dunes, seasonal and locally-grown produce, and a slow-pace vibe to help you fully relax.

Other things to note
If you're looking for privacy, nature, local produce and local food, recreation for the whole family, and zero fuss--this is the spot.
This area is famous for ORV dune riding on Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Look it up if you don't know about it. It's like Mad Max up close and personal in summer. People come from all over!
This area also has some really special qualities that are harder and harder to find these days. Here's a list of some of our favorite things about this community:
- Amazing local produce; seasonal eating at it's finest can be found on roadside stands and local grocery stores.
- Slow-pace; things move slower around here. It's a really chill vibe you just feel as soon as you hit the sweeping landscapes of the dunes and the water and the 4-season's Michigan fona. Vacation mode activated.
- Recreation; Ludington, Pentwater, Michigan's Adventure (water and amusement park about 40 minutes away), bike trails, lavender farms, dune hikes, Little Sable Point Lighthouse, fishing, and much more.
- Great food; La Probadita, Hansen's Grocery, Country Dairy, Cherry Pointe, and more. All local and fresh and made by people who know what they're doing!
We had an invigorating stay at Arrakis! Chilly weather, spectacular fall color and beautiful sunsets.. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and the living area was comfy and spacious. Highly recommended . The hill climb will keep you fit. Thank you!
It had been a dream to rent a beautiful cottage on Lk Michigan big enough for my kids & their families- and this home and location exceeded all my expectations! I hated to leave! Will hope to return some day!
Nice house and very close to the beach
Amazing home- plenty of room for the 10 of us!4 kids and 6 adults! Deck is amazing and great views! Has 6 beach chairs & tons of beach towels so you don’t have to bring those! Very friendly owners and easy to communicate with. Hope to be back soon!!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is even larger and more beautiful in person. 5 minute walk to the beach which is located far from the crowded areas which was really nice. We loved the outdoor spaces as well - we spent a lot of time on the outdoor deck and fire pit. We definitely plan to stay here if we're ever in Silver Lake again!
Very nice!
There are not enough words of praise for this outstanding home! The location is perfect! The home itself is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you need. The outdoor space is private with a view you will never want to leave. The sound of Lake Michigan greets you as soon as you open the car door. The hosts were in contact whenever we had a question. Our family has been going on vacation with 3 generations for years. This is the best place we have been! I need to add that we visited off season and NOTHING in town was open. Even the gas station closed at 7pm. So be sure if you do the same, bring your groceries and entertainment. Although there is a very nice library at the house and lots of games. We had planned to do all of our own cooking, so we brought what we needed. Our family truly enjoyed our time at this beautiful home and hope to return!
We spent our 10th wedding anniversary at the Oceana County and loved it. The view was really fabulous, the area was very quiet and peaceful. Just what we were looking for. My husband enjoyed a nearby golf course. I enjoyed having multiple comfy seating areas and spending time reading. I saw pamphlets for lots of things to do in the area. But we were looking for a chance to not doing much. It was awesome to have the choice to do nothing in a relaxing environment. My husband even suggested that we come back again. I'm thinking yes!
