About this property

Sprawling Modern Home with Chef's Kitchen, Pool & Hot Tubs - walk to the beach!

Primrose is a beautiful luxury vacation rental property designed for epic feasts and outdoor living located two blocks from Lake Michigan in SW Michigan’s Harbor Country.

**Ask us about promotional pricing for off-season stays longer than 2 nights from November through April (holidays excluded).**

The rambling 6,000 square foot home was specifically designed for entertaining and maximum leisure. Primrose accommodates large groups with ease thanks to its generously-sized indoor and outdoor communal spaces and cozy bedrooms.

The centerpiece of Primrose is the 1,600 square foot custom-built open concept chef’s kitchen & great room with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that keep the outdoors within arm’s reach. Outfitted with professional-grade appliances and multiple zones for cooking and entertaining, the kitchen just might inspire your group to undertake a Top Chef-style competition! Adjacent to the kitchen is an impressive dining table that seats 24 people and a plush conversational seating area perfect for curling up with good friends or a good book.

The home’s main level also includes 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, plus a convenient desk area and pool lounge with a small dining table and smart TV.

The second level provides an additional 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a welcoming lounge area and coffee nook with a small refrigerator.

The fully-finished basement is well-equipped with a spacious home theater, game room with pool table and ping-pong, and playroom with an assortment of children’s games, toys, and books.

Primrose’s private, completely fenced backyard includes a large heated swimming pool with safety cover, two hot tubs, outdoor fireplace, outdoor dining area with gas grill, and fire pit. The property’s tranquil landscaping sets an idyllic scene for a fun, relaxing stay in SW Michigan’s Harbor Country.

Primrose’s highly desirable location lends a secluded vibe while being just 2 blocks from Lake Michigan’s pristine beaches. Situated among the region’s beach communities along Red Arrow Highway, downtown Union Pier is within walking distance and it is a short drive to family-friendly New Buffalo.

Wonderful property

Great layout for a group. The pool and backyard area with two hot tubs is amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the big hangout area and beautiful kitchen. Short walk to the beach. Will return!

We loved the kitchen and the comfortable seating for meals. The pool and hot tubs kept the younger set occupied and happy, as did the grassy backyard. It was great to have control of the temperature in each room

Wonderful stay!

Our visit to Primrose was filled with amazing experiences and fun times. The home offers plenty of indoor and outdoor space where people can all be together or choose to have fun in many of the separate areas of the home. The photos don’t do it justice! The kitchen is filled with everything needed to make big family meals. The beds are super comfortable. The outdoor space has something for everyone. We would love to visit again.

A Gem

This was our family's 2nd trip to Primrose and it didn't disappoint. It is pure perfection with so many amenities to accommodate the masses: chef's kitchen, multiple bedrooms/beds, huge living space, outdoor fireplace, hot tub, location and proximity to the lake, etc. I could go on and on. Grateful beyond words! We hope to be back.

STUNNING

We had 24 adults staying at this property for a weekend getaway and cannot say enough wonderful things about it. To start, the home is MASSIVE and we all slept very comfortably. The GIANT kitchen / living room area was perfect for what we needed and allowed us all to comfortably gather and spend the weekend together. Even in the winter the backyard was stunning and we enjoyed both the hottub as well as the two fire pits. Finally, and most importantly, the host was extremely helpful and attentive and checked in with us and made sure everything was going well. 10/10 would recommend for a larger group gathering.

An upgraded surprise

Another annual family gathering to offer our gratitude for such a perfect location, excellent amenities, and five star service.. Prinrose is unmatched with its facilities and location. Lakefront would be preferred but there is NOTHING of this size and caliber to compare. With 5 married children and 9 grandchildren, including 2-year-old twins, plus 4 family dogs , there is everything we need for dishes (with 3 dishwashers), a beverage area with large counter space, a large refrigerator and various appliances for fresh ground or K-cup coffee or drinks! The walk to the lake is quiet and very convenient and the beach is basically nearby neighbor families. Jorge responds almost immediately to any questions or concerns and the updated beds and mattresses (with new mini splits in the bedrooms!!) plus the newly partitioned rooms for office (with printer) and storage are excellent. Cleanliness is 5 star as well. We couldn’t be happier and grateful for the perfect setting with our family! Thank you for everything!!!

Best Hosts Ever! We have stayed in the past and Jorge and Meg are spot on to solve any issues. We just created some family memories again and did not have to call them because everything was perfect. This house is amazing, and they provide you with all you need to have a wonderful family vacation. We will be back!

Perfect Home for a Multi-Generational Getaway!

We had a wonderful long weekend at this spacious and inviting house. With 22 people across multiple generations, we never felt cramped. The large kitchen was an ideal spot for preparing and sharing meals, while the outdoor features—the pool, hot tub, fire pit, and seating areas—were enjoyed by all. The bedrooms and bathrooms were abundant, clean and cozy, providing plenty of room for everyone. It was the perfect setting for our October getaway, and we highly recommend both the property and the location for groups of any size. Our stay couldn’t have been better!

Primose is great!

We had to change our fall break plans at the last minute due to the hurricane. Primrose was a perfect fit for our family and close to the lake! We would come back here for sure if we head north again! Thank you also to the host for being accommodating and helpful!

Family time

Our family of four generations and 22 members gathered at Primrose. The house was spectacular, very clean and well-appointed. The spacious kitchen and pantry areas made meal preparation and serving a breeze. Since there were many children in our group, we especially enjoyed the outside areas. The pool and hot tubs were in almost constant use and the fenced yard was spacious enough for volleyball and badminton. Our nightly campfires provided cozy family time. We also enjoyed time at the beach since it was an easy walk from the house. It was our fourth stay at a Dwell Vacations property and we look forward to many more.

Another fabulous stay

This is our third stay at the Primrose location and once again we had a fabulous time. This has been a great house for our family of 19 (10 adults and 9 children). Jorge has always been very responsive to any of our questions or needs. Our stay this year was further enhanced by improved air conditioning in the upper bedrooms. This was especially appreciated due to the warm weather that we had during our week. The house has everything that we need for our large family and hopefully we can arrange another wonderful stay at Primrose in the future..

Amazing Property & Stay

My group and I (12 of us) had an incredible stay at Primrose. The house and property are even better in person than the pictures. The great room and outdoor fire place was where we spent most of our time and we had more than enough space for all of us to hang. The house was clean and well equipped with all the necessities. Would highly recommend a stay here!
