The Lake Michigan House ~ Sleeps 16 and 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 smart tv. 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, 4-slice toaster, 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 and large windows. These rooms open into a common room with its own smart 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 11 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. The back deck has chairs and a bench for viewing the lake.

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.

Panoramic Views

From the top floor, the view of Lake Michigan truly makes you feel like you’re on a cruise ship because all you see is water. The home was perfectly laid out for our big group so couples could each have their own room to recharge in. The beach just down the dirt road is outrageously beautiful with plenty of space for everyone. We loved our time here and would absolutely stay again!

60th Anniversary Celebration

We booked this home to celebrate my parents' 60th anniversary. There was plenty of space for our family of eleven to gather. The house is lovely, with amazing views. It is well-appointed. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, utensils, and cookware. Check-in was easy, and communication with the host was good. I highly recommend this property.

Outstanding sunsets

We had a big group and the house was a perfect fit. We really enjoyed waking up and sitting out back with our coffee with the amazing views of Lake Michigan. My favorite part was gathering around the fire every night after watching amazing sunsets and gazing up at the stars. The beach was great, just a short walk from the house. We took our jeep onto the sand dunes.

Great time with friends at the Lake House

Loved the space at the Lake House! There were so many beds, and separate rooms for privacy. The location on the lake was spectacular and we enjoyed listening to the waves as we fell asleep. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Jim was an excellent host, and we all agreed we would come back if we had the opportunity.

Biannual Family Reunion

The house and location were perfect for our family reunion. The week's stay was relaxing as we sat looking out over Lake Michigan, walking on the nearby beach, or watching the dune buggies navigate the Dunes. Other than the food we prepared and enjoyed, the house had everything we needed (except there was a shortage of toilet paper). Cell service in the area was limited and we needed the house WiFi, which had limited range, for calls and data. The owner quickly responded to any of our questions The house is well located for viewing great sunsets. If only the western clouds had cooperated. JBW

Grand Lake Front View

We had a small family reunion over a long weekend, and this house was perfect for our family! Let me just say that the pictures don’t do this home justice, it’s more beautiful and bigger than we expected! There is a good size yard beyond a deck where we could play yard games and have campfires. It is close to the ORV area at Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and we loved being able to walk down to the beach parking area to switch out riders on the utv we brought. We managed to park three pick up trucks and the utv trailer in the parking area right in front of the house. Our fourth vehicle was at the park n ride right off the freeway not far from the house. We had small children with us and the short walk down the road and down the path to the beach for playtime in the sand was easy enough for us to manage. We had a few magnificent sunsets to watch and absolutely loved the lake view!

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.

Wonderful home

We rent a few times a year for large family get together. This home was one of our favorites. Very clean and comfortable. Views were remarkable. Not any beach as Lake Michigan high this year but we were told in advance so not an issue. The beach at the end of the road was perfect for everyone. The golf cart came in handy thanks for making it available. Jim was very accommodating and a phone call away the one time we had a question. The upper floor was perfect for grandchildren to have quiet time as well movie time. No one was ready to go. We all look forward to summer vacation at the Beach House as we fondly named it. Thanks Howell family for opening your home.

Great Family Vacation!

We enjoyed this wonderful home for our 3 generation family vacation. The layout was perfect to accommodate quiet and private sleeping areas for little grandchildren and adults alike on 3 levels, a large open kitchen/ gathering/living/dining space on a separate level, and a beautiful backyard where we spent most evenings watching the beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan and visiting around the campfire. We enjoyed many activities in the surrounding area: golfing, cycling, climbing dunes, flying kites, swimming, touring the Country Dairy farm, and a day trip to Traverse City area. A few negatives we experienced were many of the beds were too soft for our liking, and the recent erosion of the area lake shore made the association beach inaccessible. We were able to swim off the back steps leading down to the water, but to enjoy a beach for walking, wading into, or playing in the sand, we had to drive offsite. Overall, we really enjoyed and appreciated all the comforts and amenities of this wonderful home and would highly recommend it!

A Great Place on a Great Lake.

This house was clean and roomy. The lake views from the main floor and 3 of the 5 bedrooms were awesome. The back porch, grill, fire pit and lawn work nicely together accented by an unobstructed and expansive view of Lake Michigan. The sunsets were simply spectacular and drew a crowd each evening followed by fun around the fire pit. Beach access is good and only about 500 paces from the house which makes for an easy walk. The golf cart makes that a quick piece of cake. The cart is also a way to settle down the little ones before bedtime. Silver Lake and all its attractions is a short drive. If there is a drawback it is the sound of the dune buggies running within view of the beach. Then again, that fades into the background and Lake Michigan works it's magic. All in all we got a thumbs up from our whole crew. We gave this property all 5 starts except for the location and neighborhood category. We gave that a 4 only because of the noise from the ORV park. In general though, the location is great as there is easy access to a stretch of the coastline that is full of things to do.

To be honest

This was a girls trip - ages 21 through 81. We chose this property because from the reviews and photos online it looked perfect. The golf cart that was advertised was a selling point. However, when we arrived - no golf cart. The owner did not tell us this before we arrived even though he knew the ages of our group. I had to contact him and ask before he said it was in the shop for repairs. He offered no alternative. No water access despite the photo on the listing showing a stairway to the water. The beach access is down the road and has a very steep incline to reach it. Not possible for the older ladies in the house to reach. House was full of gnats and fruit flies. It was horrible. Many windows did not open and many screens had holes in them or were patched. Doorwall to the deck needed to be replaced as it was falling off the track. Kitchen table was sticky. Furniture was worn and the recliner even had duct tape holding the handle together. One of the heating/cooling vents on the floor was sunken down about 2 inches - a trip hazard for sure. Camera on the outside of the house and a device in the kitchen which we found recorded "volume" in the house. We were not comfortable with either of these. Firepit was full and hadn't been cleaned in some time. I contacted the owner and explained my concerns before writing this review. His reply was that he lived 3 hours away, will get in touch with cleaning crew and offered to refund a small amount for the golf cart. After thinking about this, I decided to the HONEST about the rental as I wished the owner should have been. We paid a lot of money for this rental and are not happy. Basically ruined what should have been a nice, relaxing weekend.

Overall a disappointing experience

We wish we could give The Lake House 5 stars and say our stay was wonderful. Unfortunately, after driving 5-1/2 hrs for our yearly family vacation, 6 adults and 3 toddlers arrived to a house that had clearly not had a thorough cleaning in weeks. Even though Jim and his wife traveled to clean it, we had to do a cleaning of bedrooms and the kitchen to get through the evening. They arrived at 8pm and didn't leave until 11pm when we could finally unpack. We also had to buy ant and fruit fly traps as the kitchen was infested. We were refunded for the cleaning fee but he refused to refund us the one night we totally lost on our vacation. We do appreciate the fact that they drove to clean the home, but this is their responsibility as home owners. Despite this, the home still required a deep professional cleaning (ceiling fans, cobwebs, insects, etc). Apparently these cleaning problems are now rectified. It is unfortunate that these events occurred at our expense and for that we should be fairly compensated- which we were not. There is no beach at the bottom of the stairs and hasn't been for 5 years (per Jim). We were disappointed in this false advertising, as our primary reason for booking this home was its own private beach. This has since been removed from the listing. Had we known there was no beach off of the house we would not have stayed here with 3 small children. We did enjoy aspects of our stay: the lake, sunsets and fire pit are wonderful. Jim was responsive in fixing the golf cart and grill. The association beach is close but very small due to the erosion. We chose to drive to Pentwater every day and take advantage of the beautiful state park. Had we been fairly compensated for the status of the home upon our arrival and the disruption this caused to our first night of vacation, our review would have been very different. We anticipate a response from Jim but felt it important to inform other prospective renters of the beach, insects, and communication with Jim. We feel our requests were reasonable, our complaints legitimate, and are disappointed in the unprofessional, condescending manner in which we were treated.

Staying by the lake by the sand dunes

It was a great place for my family of 13 to stay in one location. The roads were unpaved and a little tricky the first time, but once you did it one time, it was fine. Close to a beach and the sand dunes, which we loved. Clean, easy to use, and the host is very responsive. Would be interested in staying again!

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.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Jim Howell

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
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.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

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.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

We are right on Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets. Sounds of waves putting you to sleep each night. Being right on the lake we anticipate installing stairs by July 2025 right into the water for easy access. These stairs will be on our property and the two adjoining cottages will be allowed to use these stairs. Beach access is 150 yards away with a rope-handrail walkway at the end of the road. 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.
