About this property

Welcome to Lake Van Auken! Recently remodeled, our secluded lake + farm retreat (family-run red bell pepper and soy bean operation) features over 3,500 sq. ft. of living space including 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with stunning water and farmland views.

Whether you’re enjoying a sunset meal on the upper deck, a cozy fire in the living room, kayaking on the lake, or time in the large yard, this home is ideal for a large family gathering and entertaining among friends.

NOTE: There is currently no developed beach on the property - but guests are welcome to use the public launch on Lake Van Auken with a small, swimmable beach area a block away or nearby public beaches on Lake Michigan. We also recently installed a pier that guests are welcome to use for fishing and to dock boats.

Large Family Get Away!

House was perfect size for our large family...we had 10 adults and 4 under 17. The rooms were very spacious and well kept! I loved spending our evenings out by the fire and our early mornings fishing from the provided kayaks. Loved the 1/2 bthrm on the main level! The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms had everything you needed and more! The drive to the beach was a little longer than what were used to but the large yard, firepit and lake makes it worth the drive. Also, easy to communicate with! Thank you for all the beautiful memories!!

Super spacious and immaculately clean!!

Jack’s place was even better than the pictures. Super spacious, comfortable and the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed at 😊. Awesome view of the lake and more room than we needed. We were very comfortable and appreciated the extra touches such as games, movies, super fast Wi-Fi and well equipped kitchen. Our family will be back. Thank you!!

Guys Golf trip

Very nice house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a large group. Had a great time with friends on our golf trip. Some fished while others hing out by the fire pit.
