We will be close by if you need anything. The home was designed with owner use in mind. The house is fabulous. The last time I was at The Michigan Chalet Beach House three deer were in the yard for an hour.

Why they chose this property
This beautiful home is just 1 hr 15 mins from Chicago. You will love the sunsets from the beach. This incredible home has a state of the art kitchen, ceramic showers and updated bathrooms and there has been terrific attention to detail in its décor. It's a rambling 7 bedroom, 4 full bath home with appliances including a washer and two new dryers.
What makes this property unique
Pendleton accent décor through out. Large stone fireplace. Lake Michigan is out front and a beautiful wooded yard out back. Only 135 footsteps to the beach. On dead end street so very little traffic. Beautiful yard. Guests tell us between the fabulous kitchen and grill and yard they cooked nightly so they could wander to the beach for sunset. Fire pit with chairs around it. Parking in front and in back on a parking pad with a lit path to back of house.
