About this property

The Lake Michigan House ~ Perfect Sunsets Over Lake Michigan!

This three-story, 6-bedroom beauty sits right on the shore of Lake Michigan. The open concept living room/dining room is spacious with leather couches in front of the gas log fireplace and 42-inch flat screen tv/DVD. There are shades throughout the home for privacy.

The log furniture throughout the home adds to the vacation feeling. An 8-seating massive pine dining table and 4 pine stools at the granite counter allow for ample seating for dinners. In addition, the downstairs living area has a booth-like table and chairs that will fit into the upstairs dining area if needed and is perfect for the kids.

The kitchen appliances are all stainless steel and the counters granite. There is a microwave, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, coffee pot, electric tea pot, crock pot, blender, and electric griddle. In addition, there is a vacuum and a washer and dryer available.

Wi-Fi and cable TV are included as is a land-line phone system. The mix of pine and plastered walls throughout the home add to the beauty. The plaster ceilings are a decorative work of art. Our 3 1/2 bathrooms include two with showers, one with a tub and shower and a half bath on the main floor. Four of the bedrooms have wall-hung flat screen TVs. The bedrooms on the second floor include two with queen sized log beds and one with full-size bunk beds. Those two master bedrooms have balconies overlooking Lake Michigan. The third floor is an open concept bedroom perfect for a group of youngsters. Standing at the large windows feels much like looking out over an ocean from a cruise ship as you gaze out over lake Michigan. Beautiful to watch the sun setting, or an impressive storm coming across the lake. This area has two queen log beds, two twin beds and a full-size futon bed. In the basement are two beautiful bedrooms, each with queen-sized log beds. These rooms open into a common room with its own TV and one private bathroom with shower.

The home has heating and central air as well as sliding doors in two of the second-floor masters, each opening onto their own private balcony perfect for morning coffee or watching the sun set over beautiful Lake Michigan. The fire pit has nine wooden Adirondack chairs, and the parking area fits four (4) cars. There is a wooden picnic table on the deck, an outdoor grill, a metal picnic table and a Lake-viewing bench in the back yard.

This is the setting for a perfect, peaceful retreat and wonderful family vacation. Roomy enough for group family activities and yet space for peaceful alone time.

Perfect for Lake Lovers
Our family group of fifteen agreed that having a house right on the lake was the very best part of our stay. The house was clean and laid out well for a large group, but for us the location was the thing we most enjoyed. We loved listening to the waves, enjoying coffee on the deck, amazing sunsets and campfires under the stars. The path down to the beach was just a short walk down the road. We also enjoyed our favorite activities in nearby Silver Lake, Pentwater and Ludington. We would be very happy to come back to this property in the future. A note about the parking - we were able to park four cars at the property. The grandkids parked at the Park and Ride by 131 in Hart without any problem.

Vacay
The cottage beach access was impossible 200 yards on the road and another 100 yards on the beach cause area was blocked off for bird sanctuary. You couldn’t even drive a car and drop off chairs, umbrellas etc. so we ended up going to a public beach. We had little children and it was too difficult. Cottage is lovely has beautiful lake views just no easy beach access.

Friends Family Trip
The property was perfect for our larger group. The third floor was nice for all of the kids and the other rooms were great for the adults. The third floor does get warm. The mini split helps but it is still on the warmer side. As the descriptions says, parking is limited so make sure to take that into account when planning your trip. The beach is a short walk from the property and right in front of the dune ORV area. Please note to get down to the beach is a rather steep decline which means you have a steep incline to get back to the property. It was not a big deal for anyone in our group but it could be an issue for some. The kitchen was fairly well stocked but there is only one fridge so take that into account when planning your trip.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Howell

Host profile image
We are a large family who spent many years camping at Lake Michigan as our three children were growing up. Some of our very best memories include the sand and waves of Lake Michigan. Now the time we spend here includes our many grandchildren, friends and extended family as well and we are still making wonderful memories.

Why they chose this property

This home is large enough for us all to be together in such a peaceful setting. There is always something to do and space enough for everyone to be comfortable. The only thing we like better than being together is being together at Lake Michigan. We enjoy sharing this home with others who love this Great Lake as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We are right on Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets. Sounds of waves putting you to sleep each night. While we are right on the lake, due to high water, our stairs had to be removed and beach access is at the end of the road beyond a sand dune. Access to our private sand dunes is a short walk away. If you are VERY lucky, seeing the northern lights toward the north over Lake Michigan could be a part of your visit. And if you are not afraid of the dark, viewing the stars from the top of the dunes is incredible.
