About this property

Dune Ranch | Private Lake Michigan Beach + Fire Pit | Cathead Bay

Welcome to Dune Ranch hosted by Wander North Rentals!



Dune Ranch is a midcentury modern home tucked away on the Northern Michigan coastline. Begin every morning with a cozy blanket and coffee on the deck and end every night with breathtaking sunsets over the lake as you wander miles of pristine dunes and beach. The possibilities for outdoor activities are endless including swimming, hiking, and stargazing. Enjoy an escape from the world where sky meets water and the days are endlessly relaxing.



This property offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laundry, a basement game room, and a large great room for group gatherings. In addition to the home, you will have use of 100 feet of pristine, private Lake Michigan beach, a fire pit, and a large deck for outdoor dining



In the great room, your group can gather around the dining table which seats 10 for meals prepared in the stylish midcentury modern kitchen. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to create a gourmet meal including an island stove top where you can chat with your guests while you cook. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the main living room is equipped with a fireplace and TV with access to streaming services. With a huge wraparound deck that blurs indoor and outdoor space, you can enjoy dining inside or out.



Off the kitchen is a bedroom equipped with a queen bed, bathroom, and laundry. On the other end of the home is the second bedroom with a queen bed and desk for working and the master bedroom. The master bedroom has a private bathroom and sliding glass doors directly onto the deck with a view of the bay. Downstairs you'll find 2 more bedrooms, one with a queen and the other with bunk beds. Please note - these bedrooms are nonconforming as they do not have an egress window. The basement game room includes more seating, a tv, and an air hockey table.



Each bedroom comes fully stocked with bedding, extra pillows, and blankets. Bathrooms in the home are stocked with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hairdryer. The laundry room has a washer and dryer available for guests.

Our stay was great! The house was beautifully decorated and the furnishings and beds were very comfortable! The kitchen was very well equipped and the outside space was also first rate! Plenty of beach chairs and towels too.
