About this property

Feirin De--a Magnificent Old Home on Lake Michigan

Magnificent old family home, with a second smaller home attached in a four acre compound we call Feirin De which is Gaelic for “God’s Gift”. The homes are located on a partly secluded bluff overlooking Lake Michigan with views of spectacular sunsets and white caps on windy days. The main home has an expansive deck perfect for watching the children and grandchildren (and parents and grandparents) in the 20x40 pool a few steps below that is completely fenced in for safety. The main home has five bedrooms, three full and two half baths, and sleeps 12 comfortably. The little or “Granny” house has one bedroom with a queen sized bed, two full baths, a sleeping porch with five twin beds and a downstairs bedroom that also has a queen bed. There is also a small kitchen and an extra dishwasher.
In the main home there is a large living room with a fireplace and dining room that can seat 20. The main home has two screened in porches, one small one off the kitchen and a large one off the living room and deck which, incidentally has a large table and a pergola at one end for delightful meals in the sun or late afternoon shade.
Both homes have washers and dryers and there is an outdoor shower to clean up after an afternoon at the beach. The beach is located 1.5 miles to the north. There is no beach below the bluff at Feirin De but we have a fire pit setup on the bluff for evening s'mores and to watch the sunsets.
This is an idyllic place for an extended family or two small ones to have a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Hagen

Host profile image
I am Kathy Hagen and this is my father, John Slevin. Together, with our spouses we own Feirin De. We both grew up in Peoria, Illinois and in fact my parents still live in the house I grew up in. My husband and I have live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been vacationing in Western Michigan for as long as I can remember and, until 1997, had always rented a home. With my parents, 7 siblings, spouses, children and now grandchildren it was becoming more difficult to find a place for us. Then my parents came across this place. My husband and I decided to go in with my parents to purchase this large, lovely and inviting home with marvelous views of Lake Michigan, a built in 20x40 swimming pool and acres of ground to boot. We felt this was a gift from God and because of out Irish heritage we named it "Feirin De" which is Gaelic for "Gift of God".

What makes this property unique

Spectacular sunsets, cool breezes off the lake in summer, flowering trees and bushes in the spring, magnificent colors in the fall, gracious meals for 20 in our large dinning room and, most of all, the peace and tranquility that fills the place.
