FULLY RENOVATED HOME, PRIVATE LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH, LAKE VIEWS, SUNSETS

Come and bring your family and friends. Swim and play on your own huge private beach. Enjoy sunsets on the beach or up on a high bluff.

This secluded, four-season, home sits on a bluff in Lakeside. It has been freshly renovated with open living areas designed to accommodate a group gathering. Living room with new OLED TV, woodburning fireplace, sectional couch and chairs. The dining table seats eight and canbe extended for up to 10, which can serve double-duty for WFH, puzzles, cards or board games.

Large, bright kitchen is fully stocked for big breakfasts and evening meals. Huge center island with stools, 36” dual-fuel Bertazzoni range, two sinks and super-quiet Bosch dishwasher. Includes toaster, Ninja blender, hand mixer, electric kettle, cookware, coffee pot, built-in microwave.

You can lounge, dine and enjoy views of the lake and beautiful sunsets from the large back deck and yard. The outdoor fire pit is at the edge of the bluff and also overlooks the lake. Just beyond the fire pit are the stairs to the beach.

You’ll have your own private beach with the gear you need in the shed down at the beach — beach chairs, umbrellas, inflatable water hammocks and some toys for the beach and lake. There are about 120 steps to the beach (no need for a Stairmaster!), and there is a stopping point and lookout about halfway down.

Four bedrooms sleep 10. Two bedrooms have queen-size beds, one has a queen bunk bed, and one has a twin bunk. All the beds are new and guests have remarked about how comfortable those are.

There are two full bathrooms. One features a tub-shower combo and has an electric towel warmer.

Home is about .3 miles walking distance to the Union Pier Whistle Stop and Red Arrow Roadhouse. It's a few minutes drive to Union Pier Market and Flagship Fish Market. Short drives (less than 10 minutes) to Sawyer, New Buffalo and Three Oaks.

Cook at home or enjoy dozens of local restaurants in Harbor Country: Red Arrow Roadhouse, Timothy’s, Gather, Skip’s, Union Pier Social. Check out the area’s breweries and distilleries, including Seedz, Beer Church, Ghost Isle, Greenbush, Haymarket and Journeyman.

Available year-all round for fall, winter or spring getaways. Have an indoor fire in cooler weather or an outdoor fire all summer. Jacuzzi is located on the back patio and kept hot all year long. There are plenty of fall cool weather activities, apple orchards, cross country skiing, wineries and more.

    They've done an excellent job on the interior renovations! Great spot on the lake. External curb appeal and neighboring buildings aren't the prettiest, but once you snuggle inside this immaculate cottage it doesn't matter! Surpringly great restaurants in the area, and they've got great chairs, etc set up by the beach

    This home is elegantly designed with a modern boho charm and spotlessly clean. Everything about the process and stay was effortless. I stayed with 3 friends for some R&R. Everyone raved about the home - it’s amenities - and how comfortable the beds are!! This was a huge plus! I travel quite a bit and most places I do not sleep well. I stayed in the first room and slept like a dream. The view of the lake from interior is limited but asa you step out on the deck, it lays out in front of you. We sat on the deck a lot and enjoyed the hot tub our last evening here. The large hot tub is a definite plus! 124 steps to the beach, which wasn’t as bad as it looked intimidating at first! I had my morning meditation and coffee there and even though it was April morning chilly, it was spectacular and secluded. I’ve been using VRBO for over 15 years and this home is in my top 5! The owners are kind and thoughtful. Make sure you leave a rock on their chimney - another flare we just loved! Thank you

    We stayed for the weekend in November and enjoyed every second! It was such a quiet, peaceful area and the house was exactly what we wanted.

    Our entire stay was so relaxing and easy. We loved the private beach and easy access to chairs, umbrellas and toys. We had two families with kids ranging from 6-14 and everyone had enough space and privacy while still enjoying each other’s company. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. We spent the day relaxing at the beach and evenings watching the sunset, relaxing in the porch and playing games at the dining table. It was The perfect family vacation!

    This was probably the best place we’ve stayed since vacationing at Lake Michigan. The hosts were wonderful and quick to respond. The house was beautifully updated and well stocked.

    My husband and three of our grown children enjoyed a long weekend at this cabin. It has been completely remodeled and is beautiful inside. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and gorgeous.There are all the appliances you need to prepare meals in the state of the art kitchen. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after spending the days enjoying the private Lake Michigan beach. There are 125 steps down to the beach so be prepared for a good stairs workout!!

    I stayed at the house in late June with 3 adult friends. the house is very comfortable and well decorated. The size worked well (4 bed/2 bath) and loved the outdoor space (seating area, dining area and walk to beach). My only feedback would be more accuracy around the beach/lake view (the house sits back quite a bit, so definitely no lake view). There is also a run down house on the same property that is a bit of an eyesore. It would also be nice to have some basic staples to get started (salt/pepper, 1 day of coffee, etc). Although not having these items also meant the kitchens was super clean without any “leftovers” from other guests.
