About the host
Hosted by Megan Chadwick
I grew up in different parts of Michigan and Illinois so the connection to the small farming town of Oostburg is special for me. It affords a much-needed respite from the stress of everyday. Life can be hectic and I am certain to feel relaxed as soon as I pull into the tree-lined drive. I enjoy the peaceful comfort of this cozy house with its ever changing, yet always extraordinary views. The charming little neighborhood, delightful Dutch community consistently bring a smile to my face.
I enjoy driving the local country roads and seeing horses, cows, green fields, harvesting of crops. Yet I can also be content whiling away the hours enjoying the antics of different bird species: Seagulls busy themselves feeding in the shallow ripples, Cardinals flit from tree to tree or Loons and Canadian honkers, majestic as they fly in tight formation along paths closely adhering to the shoreline, loons and even wild turkeys are visible to the observant.
There is something so calming and soothing about the movement of the waves. Some days glittering and melodic, other days crashing similar to the intensity of the ocean.
I have visited many locations around the US and still find this my favorite retreat in all seasons.
I find it difficult to leave.

Why they chose this property
Quiet peaceful and serene access closest to lake Michigan.
I work extremely hard to be sure my guests have every item available to them to make their stay as pleasant as possible. A full list of what is provided comes with your welcome letter. My staff and I are responsive to any issue. I attempt to have every amenity you would like so you can relax.
The home provides a chance to “get away from it all,” spend time indoors or out and create happy memories.
The nature is serene. It brings tranquility and calm to my life.
The attraction of being almost "in" Lake Michigan makes this home truly special. Proximity to the Lake is the best of any property on Cardinal Lane. The waves can be alternately soothing or exhilarating, rivaling those of the widest, deepest oceans, changing in intensity and appearance as often as the wind. Neighboring wildlife come to bathe and sip the cool water. It is quiet and the neighbors respectful.
One of the unexpected joys is walking down our quaint little lane. The dirt road is gorgeous in any season, shaded by a variety of tall trees, walled by a bed of green ferns and backed by a dense thicket of swampy woods that only enhance the feeling of being far away from the urban jungle.
Winter and fall bring a wild beauty that I still enjoy after 30 years of living on Cardinal Ln. The close-knit Cardinal Ln. community is peaceful, lightly populated with lovely neighbors. The home is nature at its best, secluded yet surrounded by peace, comfort and safety.
Only one mile from the home to route 43-highway travel from most locations. Only 2.5 hours from downtown Chicago 45 min. north of Milwaukee.
I enjoy the luxuries of Kohler nearby. The food and environment at the American Club offers fine dining and fun afternoon tea in the atrium.
I like the town of Oostburg for its simplicity and ease of access to any necessities.

What makes this property unique
Best Lake House has easy access by car and no hassles with lines at check-in or waiting for elevators when all you want is to drop everything and relax.
Unique to this part of Lake Michigan, the area under the water and on the beach is covered in blond, finely grained sand.
The lake water temperature and quality vary, but at times the it’s crystal clear and sparkles like diamonds in the sun over the smooth soft sandy bottom.
The home provides both family togetherness and “alone time,” depending on your mood. Stargazing on clear nights, warming your weary bones around a crackling fire . . . Entertaining is easy, with snacks and drinks from the kitchen so conveniently accessible to the deck and beach.
Watch a movie or select from our collection of family board games if the weather turns cloudy.
Oostburg has all the basic amenities. Like much of small town America, it closes up early on Sunday. The charming Judi’s Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the most delicious Oostburg Bakery, small supermarket, gas station, are conveniently located in downtown Oostburg. Familiar big box stores (Costco, Target, etc.) are short drives if you are so inclined. Shopping is less painful in Wisconsin with the 5% Sales tax!
For an abrupt transition from the laid back beach life to high end luxury, visit the American Club in Kohler. Whistling Straits is a world class golf course with a great restaurant. Pamper yourself with a treatment at their $11 Million Waters Spa, hit the links on one of their championship golf courses, enjoy a superb meal at one of their many excellent fine dining restaurants or browse their exclusive WoodLake Shops for unique treasures. Check with the American Club for Spa or golf packages and availability and review their calendar of special events. They offer entertainment usually every weekend that can be joined with a bit of advance planning.
Elkhart Lake racing and dining are within 30 minutes.
Charming Cedarburg is 45 minutes away.
