About this property
Spacious Basement (Garden) Apartment, Short Walk to Lake Michigan
The apartment is on the lower level of a home built in 2014, and is approximately 2000 sq ft. open-plan with its own entrance. It is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit with a queen and twin bed in each bedroom. There are also 2 futons in the living area for additional guests, if needed. Up to two pets are permitted. Smoking is not permitted.
The unit is equipped with free wi-fi and a large format television with DirecTV. The kitchen has a breakfast counter with a drip coffee maker, a gas range, a dishwasher and a microwave. There are laundry facilities in the utility room.
The unit is located in a wooded area close to Lake Michigan. There are two areas of beach access within walking distance (about a quarter of a mile each, north and south of Stone Bridge Trail.)
The home's patio includes an outdoor fireplace and a grill that are available to guests. There is a pergola over the patio with lights strung and on a dusk to 2am period.
The wooded acreage adjoins a conservatory and has many walking trails available.
The location is convenient to Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, and South Haven. The region offers many shops, restaurants, galleries, wineries, breweries, orchards and farm markets.

About the host
Hosted by Frank Michaels and John Donovan
John and I met in 2001, both having survived previous long-term partners. John had served decades as a fire fighter in the Chicago suburbs. I had worked for decades for a Chicago corporation.
We enjoyed the 2-hour proximity of a Michigan campground and parked our motor coach there for many years, while we got to know the area.

Why they chose this property
We purchased and built our home on a wooded lot in 2014. The lot backs to a wooded conservatory. The apartment was created during the construction with the intention to provide vacation rentals, and is separately zoned for heating and air conditioning.
Local wildlife include deer, black, brown and fox squirrels, wild turkeys, piliated wood peckers, and a wide variety of other birds.
Guests are welcome to use the screened-in porch, patio and outdoor fireplace and grill at the back of the house.
