"Windy Ridge" is a unique year-round country place, tucked away deep in the dunes. Both charming and functional, it's located in a forest big enough to get lost in, amid hundreds of acres of duneland. You can't see another house in any direction, even from the roof deck. Down a path about 175 yards through the woods is a very private Lake Michigan beach, on which you can walk for miles.

It's a great place to get far far away, and it's only 2 hours from Chicago and 2 1/2 hours from Detroit, midway between South Haven and St. Joseph. The house has all modern amenities except central air-conditioning, which you really don't need (there are a couple of window units in bedrooms if you hit a heat wave). Everybody who's ever been here falls in love with the place as we did 22 years ago.

While the owners use it most of the time, a few prime weeks are available in the summer, and many weeks the rest of the year.

Please inquire via email, not phone, if possible.
