~~~ not to mention your own beach area
This Home-Away-From-Home is the place for your large gathering to spread out and relax. There is over 3,200 sq. ft. inside- and mostly on the main floor.

We're blessed to be on a secluded area of tranquil White Lake and only 5 minutes from the charming towns of Montague and sister-city, Whitehall, across the bridge.
There are too many attractions nearby to mention – truly something for everyone!
~~~see our attached photos of just a sampling.

There is plenty of parking space, a circle drive and a 2 car garage.

This inviting retreat has everything you need for making memories with your loved ones.

Maple Beach House itself offers plenty of areas to relax and play, but it’s also a perfect home-base for the Whitehall/Montague area providing easy access to Lake Michigan and close proximity to all other points of interest, activities, and conveniences.

If you are looking just to chill, look no further than this peaceful place. Read that vacation novel, while enjoying the cool lake breezes in one of our 6 bedrooms. Take a snooze under the beautiful tree canopy. Or grab one of the provided beach towels and head to the beach to lounge by the water to enjoy the sunshine, the sound of the lapping waves, and maybe some unhurried conversation.

Everyone will love this spot on White Lake for its gorgeous panoramic view of the blue (not actually white!) waters, which are often remarkably un-crowded.
At night, build a bonfire - have s’mores and tell stories. And don’t forget to stargaze!

Please note that children are very welcome and, hopefully, will be quite entertained.
Amenities:
3 adult kayaks
2 youth kayaks
Dinghy
River Run floats
10 ft. inflatable pool
Swing set
XL Swing
Sand toys, and other games/toys
Cornhole
Pickleball game (Pickle 360)
Books, & board games.



The house is easy to get to – a short 15 minute drive from US-31.
It is 3 hours away from Chicago and Detroit, and 1 hour from Grand Rapids.
MBH is ideally located to enjoy the best of each lake:
White Lake’s warmer, calmer waters for water sports like skiing, tubing, fishing, and swimming.
And Lake Michigan’s immense waters & wonderful beaches with soft sand and waves –
5 miles away via boat (via channel access with its great view of the White River Light Station & Museum)
and car (convenient parking is available at Duck Lake State Park Beach, where you can enjoy Duck Lake, the warm, shallow waters of the channel – a big hit with the kids- and the “big lake”).

The house will be stocked with some starter supplies such as coffee, filters, sugar, salt, spices, paper goods (towels, tissues, toilet), soap (hand, dish, dishwasher, laundry), garbage bags, propane, roasting sticks, and firewood.

Food, beverages, and extra supplies needed can be purchased nearby. The sister cities of Whitehall and Montague are only a couple of miles away. Montague Foods has a large selection of high quality groceries, beer, and wine. Check out the World’s Largest Weathervane before going in! Also take advantage of the Farmers Market (and Artisan Market) across the street on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

When it’s time to eat, you will find everything you need to prepare meals for 12 and serve meals for 24 (who wants to do dishes every day on vacation ), or to call for takeout or delivery (menus from local restaurants are at the house).


Check out the White Lake Area’s Visitors site at whitelake.org for a wealth of information, including a downloadable Visitor Guide. There are many special events throughout the year, such as the Cruz’In Classic Car Show, the Arts and Crafts Festival, and the Wine and Jazz Festival. But, you can easily spend any day just in the walk-able picturesque towns of Whitehall and Montague with its many unique shops and attractive places to get some tasty food and drinks. Montague and Whitehall boast a handful of excellent craft beer, wine, and spirits makers.

Take a look at our “Other Attractions and Activities” section for web addresses to some of the other popular places near MBH. There is so much to see and do in the White Lake Area, you will want to stay longer than a week! (Ask us about discounts for longer stays).

Maple Beach House makes it easy for your vacation to be what you want it to be – a memorable fun-filled escape!

    In 7 years of family getaways, my adult daughters agreed that this was the cleanest home yet. Good spaces, amenities, linens, and more made the move into it easy. We loved the inland lake and opportunities for fishing and tubing it afforded us. Careful attention to details and GREAT communication made our 20 persons visit a 10!

    This property was perfect for my large family. There were several places for us to hang out in small groups. It was very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. There was an abundance of amenities and we never ran out of things to do. The owner was very pleasant and quite responsive. I definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting this beautiful area of Michigan.

    The perfect place for young cousins to meet and play for the first time. Very nearby to a cute town and the park at the end of the drive was perfect! We were very comfortable with 8 kids and 8 adults. The property is not lacking in any basic necessities and the quality was consistently high. Thank you!!

    We live locally. Our son and his wife live overseas. They wanted a US wedding We had a large number of European guest and two children under a year old we needed to find accommodations for. This House exceeded everybody’s expectations.. They rented pontoon boat & having the dock was perfect. They used the beach area the pool, as well as water “ toy” it was September so were weeds around the end of the dock area, not that anyone had issue but worth a mention. Mother Nature has more control over this than the owner so not a game changer for our group. The Group enjoyed hours gathering on the deck and playing yard games. The house was as pictured and CLEAN. Owner communicate rapidly to emails All information was easily accessible. The attention to details was well thought out to make a vacation comfortable ! Several separate gathering areas inside and out. Even a diaper Genie! And two types of baby beds! We could have found a more perfect place for our guest. They all enjoyed there stay at the Maple Beach House & talk of returning. Thanks LuAnn for your hospitality!

    If your looking for a place that will entertain children this is a great place! Swingset, tree swing, kayaks, fishing, large beach front sandbox includes toys and small pool. Firewood was included! Boat rental was close by! Wonderful place to stay. Only suggestion would be a couple more frying pans for breakfast ?

    While the lake and home were not perfect; we had a great time. The reality was for the price we would have liked better conditions. The lake has grass growing and this year algae bloom so we could not use the dock area for children or adults. We did not like the feel of the seaweed like grass on our legs while swimming. The deck was our favorite place to hang out and multiple people received bug bites … not mosquitoes… tho use needs to be addressed as everyone was using Benadryl cream and hydrocortisone cream all week along with large amounts of OFF. As for the home the place is clean but we really wish some of the bedrooms had more room. In order to accommodate the full sized bed… it took up 90%of the floor space so there is no room for getting around the room… this also innthe king sized bedroom. The kitchen was small as well for 18 guests to cook for… luckily we were prepared to grill most meals and it only rained once while there

    Let me just start by saying that our host Luann was amazing! She went over and beyond to make us feel welcome. The house was equipped with everything a large family stay would require. The lakeview was breathtaking and they have a dock. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and had a blast. This home brought us laughter, some friendly competition, healing of relationships and memories that we will forever hold in our hearts. There were tears when we had to say goodbye. Thank you Maple Beach House!

    Family voted unanimously to book here next year--that's how much we loved the house/property. The division of the homes' family areas & bedrooms worked so well for our group. Son/DIL, their 3 children (ages 5,2,4mo), & dog slept in one wing of the house which could be cordoned off--advantageous for little ones who go to bed early/rise early. This space also had secondary refrigerator which we used for beverages/freezer overflow. The other 6 family members (adults ages 23 thru 60) were in bedrooms in a different wing. Beds were very comfortable. This wing also had separate living area with large TV. We cooked almost every night in the well stocked kitchen. Property has large gas grill & fire pit. The outdoor area is very private, a huge plus! Property is close to Michigan Adventure & Lewis Farms, two places everyone enjoyed--young & old. But so much to do on the property itself--fishing off the dock, floating in inner tubes & kayaking on beautiful White Lake. The 2 & 5 yo spent HOURS in the sand & blow-up pool LuAnn had set up for them. Everyone loved the swing too. Sand hill cranes, herons, ducks, deer, & bald eagles were seen during our stay, too. Can't say enough positive comments about LuAnn. She was born to be the perfect VRBO host--communicative & thoughtful of our every need. Clearly invests in the property as many rooms had been updated/renovated during off season. These are all the main reasons why we're excited to come back next year!

    I don’t know how, but this property continues to get better year after year. The improvements to the interior, the added equipment, and the amazing host make this location an ideal place to take your family. Lots of space to spread out and things to do allow a large family to enjoy each other without getting on each others nerves. Book it while you can (but not when we want to go). lol. You will not regret it.
