Lakeshore Loft - Spacious Apartment, Walking Distance to Private Beach Access

Welcome to Lakeshore Loft! Our names are Zachary and Kortney Ball. We are life-long residents of the thumb area and currently live in the Village of Lexington with our two young sons. Kortney works as a school counselor and Zach owns and operates a local, family-run lawn and powersports dealership.

The property is located in the Great Lakes Shores Association off M-25 (Lakeshore Rd.). The neighborhood is full of cozy cottages and both full-time and seasonal residents/renters. Multiple points of private beach access for GLS residents and guests is only a short walk away!

We purchased this historic building in fall 2022 and got right to work breathing some life back into the location. The building dates back to the 1930s and was originally built by the Kinsley family for a tavern with a log cabin-type exterior. Kinsley's Tavern was run in their family for multiple decades before being sold and converted to Jack and Gerry's Bar. Most recently, the downstairs of this building was run as Oasis Coffee Shop which regularly hosted local musical acts, and the upstairs served as a residence. When we purchased the property, it had been empty for a few years and we are enjoying the process of bringing this historical property back to life, starting with this vacation rental! Our rental offers everything you need to feel like home away from home; just pack your clothes and go! The apartment is well-stocked, spacious, and airy. The space is perfect to accommodate your family or a group of friends. We look forward to hosting you for a relaxing getaway just steps from beautiful Lake Huron!
