About this property

Monroe House - 2 Minute Drive to Lake Michigan ● Pet Friendly ● Beach Access

Welcome to Monroe House, a brand new, pet-friendly home just a 2-minute drive to Lake Michigan’s beaches!

Nestled in a peaceful wooded setting, this stylish, family-friendly retreat is perfect for a beach vacation, cozy weekend, or getaway with friends.

The home features 3 bedrooms, including a king suite with a daybed + trundle, a queen + bunks room, and a third queen; plenty of space for everyone. Designed by a professional interior designer, every detail has been thoughtfully curated for comfort and style.

Step outside to find three private decks, a hot tub under the stars, a fire pit for s’mores and stories, and a yard space set up for games. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the private upstairs deck or winding down after a day at the beach, Monroe House is made for making memories.

Forgot something? No worries! Dollar General is within walking distance for any last-minute essentials (like that toothbrush you swore you packed).

You’re just half a mile from Hagar Shore Beach and Roadside Park Beach, two gorgeous spots for swimming, sunset walks, or beach picnics. DiMaggio’s Pizza is nearby- grab a pizza and take it to the lake for a picnic with a view! Looking to explore more? You’re just 10 miles from St. Joseph and 12 miles from South Haven, two charming lakeside towns full of dining, ice cream, shopping, and attractions. Golf lovers will also appreciate several championship courses just a short drive away.

Just bring your beach towel and your favorite people; Monroe House will take care of the rest!

About the host

Hosted by Catie Ellis

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Phil and Catie Ellis. We’ve called Michigan home for over 20 years and love everything about it—especially spending time on the lake with friends, cheering on our favorite football team, traveling when we can, and most of all, hanging out with our daughters, Brittany and Madison. They’re all grown up now, so any time we get together is extra special!

We’re so excited to share our little summer spot with you and hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Summers here are so special with the lake and beautiful beaches. The wine tours and now the brewery tours are both a big hit around here. The quaint lake towns are so fun to walk around in to shop, eat or enjoy a day at the beach! South Haven and St. Joseph are a short drive from our rental home. For a day away you could take a trip to Chicago by train.

What makes this property unique

Our house is pretty secluded by the tall trees in the back yard. The wooded setting is lovely and feels very relaxing. We chose this place because of the privacy but also for its central location. There are lots of fun things to do and see!

There are multiple championship golf courses within 20 minutes of the Monroe house. Saint Joseph and South Haven's beaches have been ranked in the top 10 in the country. So take a walk to the pier, then grab an ice cream cone and sit on the beach to watch the sunset!
