About this property

Dunes Lodge is a newly restored mid-century modern home in Laketown, Michigan.

Dunes Lodge is a newly-restored mid-century modern home in Laketown Michigan originally built-in 1961. The lodge is easily accessible yet privately secluded in 4 acres of woods with Lake Michigan's finest beaches just a bicycle ride away and resort towns of Saugatuck/Douglas and Holland less than five minutes by car.

The lodge features four outdoor spaces directly connected to the house--a cozy porch for morning coffees a sunny upper deck for lounging a family-sized patio for dining. A firepit at the forest edge brings the family together for nightly campfires. A huge grassy backyard and woodland path makes the home both spacious and intimate perfect for generational families.

The modern home has been updated with all new appliances and technology. The entertainment and high-speed indoor/outdoor wi-fi networks are the best and newest available. Both the main room and master bedroom feature full surround-sound theatres for watching large-screen televisions and music can be streamed to hi-fidelity outdoor sound systems on the deck porch and both patios.

The stunning design of the house and grounds was done by Hong Kong-based sculptor and media artist Scott Hessels who preserved and updated its distinctive architectural angles and woodwork. The artworks in the house are from his personal collection and feature unique pieces with colorful histories. The original handmade cabinetry and staircase--a beautiful riot of lines and angles--have been restored and are now listed as heritage mid-century architectural landmarks. The grounds contain centuries-old maples pines and oaks with a rhododendron garden and a range of locally-grown native trees.

First Floor: Featuring an expansive open concept kitchen/living/dining with large windows for natural sunlight. Pass the kitchen is a huge walk-in closet and one bedroom with a queen bed. In the back of the hallway is the stunning master bedroom with a king bed, and a sofa bed. With an ensuite bath and a private patio for romance.

Second Floor: Up the stairs features 2 bedrooms one with a queen bed and the other with a bunk bed.

Beautiful property

The home is a beautiful mid century modern design with cool history of its original owner. We used it as a home base for our daughters wedding at the Felt Estate which was a 5 minute drive.

Hidden Gem

Our Family of 4 needed a place to stay for a wedding for 5 days, & didn't want to spend a lot of money. What we found w/ this listing was a secluded lot, surrounded by trees, close to everything( within 10 min.or so), & a beautifully remodeled & upgraded house. Definitely recommend & will stay there again if we are in the area!

Family time

Our family was in the area for a surprise party. This property was comfortable for a 90 year old as well as a 21 year old. It was as described in a quiet neighborhood, tucked in woods. Very peaceful.

Family vacation and antique show in one

The house was more than what we needed! So great to have the extra space for the kids to spread out. House is very comfortable and property is beautiful with back yard fire pit. I was conducting business in Holland at the antique show which was about 15 minutes away and my husband and our daughters would go to Saugatuck during the day, which was only about 10 minutes away. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful home and setting

We liked house and surroundings! Easy access to Saugutuck and Holland. Only gave it 4 stars because air conditioning wasn’t working properly! Even though management tried to fix it while we were there.

Family getaway

The property it's self is beautiful and in a wonderful location between Saugatuck and Holland. Our main issue with the stay is the home DESPERATELY needs a whole home water filtration system. The well water smells TERRIBLE like rotten eggs from all sources. It made showering and using the water for cooking or drinking extremely unpleasant. Their is filtered water on from the fridge but it flows exceptionally slowly. Such care and detail was put into renovating this property I'm shocked they would overlooks the water issue.

Serious problems with cleanliness.

I'm going to write the negative first because I believe that a $500 service fee, let alone the high cost of this property, is way too much to have these issues. We spent the better part of the first two days cleaning bathrooms, moping floors, washing bedding, cleaning and dusting furniture, etc to make this home sanitary for our five night stay. Bad cobwebs and bugs in several corners Main floors not clean and smelled. Pubic hair on bed cover and smelled. Quite a bit of Pubic hair in bathroom and smelled unclean. Doors and windows covered with fingerprints showing that they were not cleaned. There was food under couches. Infestation of Eastern cicada killer hornets in backyard. There are mice in the house that got into our food. Two entry door handles we're very loose and sloppy. (I happen to have tools and we tightened them) The positive is that, they did an excellent job with your renovation of this property. As far as the home and it's amenities, it is very nice. The outdoor fire pit was excellent but could only be used after dark because of the hornet issue. In the end, we will not stay at this property again. Thank you.

Beautiful home in a tranquil setting

Dunes Lodge is set in the woods between Holland and Saugatuck, so it is a great location. The house itself has been completely updated and has lots of windows and an open feel that is perfect for the setting. We enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen as well. We had to draw straws for the master bedroom suite as it is very large and the most desirable bedroom in the house!

AWESOME PROPERTY!

Stayed with family, age range 50-82. Modern yet comfortable home. Easy for parents to access main floor bedroom suite. Enjoyed the almost daily turkeys and occasional deer that wandered through. Great place for our family reunion of 7.

Worth it

Quiet location near to many outdoors opportunities and a short drive to Saugatuck or Holland. The house itself has a wow factor. It was expensive but overall worth it.
