About this property

Luxury private home on Lake Michigan with 5 acres near Whistling Straits Kohler

Setting a new benchmark for luxury and architecture at Lake Michigan, the Lakeglass Cottage is a stunning, new home offering breathtaking views of Lake Michigan.  Situated on 5 acres of sprawling lawns, prairies and mature trees and over 300 feet of private beach, the property is an oasis like no other.  Walking into the open and light-filled home, you feel immediate and deep relaxation. The mid-century modern inspired style will transport you to another place.  You’re just feet away from the beach where the sights and sounds of the Great Lake will dissolve away any worries or stresses. This luxuriously appointed home invites you to sit, relax and and take it all in. Everything you need for lakeside relaxation is at your fingertips.

THE PROPERTY
Driving along beautiful coastal road through the sleepy town of Cleveland, your eyes will naturally set on 1611 Lakeshore Drive.  Located on 5 acres of lawns and over 300 feet of private beach, the Lakeglass Cottage is one of the largest properties that offers direct water access. 

The unique design of the Lakeglass Cottage is a real feat in optical illusion.  Viewed from the street, you will wonder how all guests will fit in this charming cottage. 

The vast property allows for a breathtaking views of Lake Michgan.  The gentle slope that opens to a vast lawn will allow you to practice your swing or play outdoor games mere feet from the water's edge. 

Whether you are looking forward to taking a swim, dipping your toes, or searching for colorful lake glass along the shore, two steps is all that's required to reach the water's edge.  

An oversized outdoor fire-pit and cozy Adirondack chairs will keep the conversations going way into the night.  Gaze up and you will be stunned to see unobstructed views of innumerable stars. 

Once you are ready to head home, a warm outdoor shower will take care of any lake water or hitchhiking sand on your skin.

Enjoy dinner al fresco on the large patio and carry the mood way into the night as you warm up by the outdoor gas fireplace.  Step into the house and pick up a snack without having to trek up the stairs... the kitchen is open.

​When you're ready to retire, the comfortable beds and sounds of the crashing waves will carry you to sleep.

THE COTTAGE
Unlock the front door and you will be amazed at the views offered by floor to ceiling windows with 180 degree lake views.  The clever layout ensures magnificent views wherever you are in the house; whether it be preparing meals in the state of the art kitchen, lounging on the couch in the living room, hanging out on the patio, or lazing in bed. The main bedroom & in-suite bath are worthy of a five star retreat, with lake views from bed and a private door to the patio.  Leave the sliding door open at night and enjoy the sounds of waves crashing on the beach.  

ATTRACTIONS:
RELAX:
Although relaxation at Lakeglass Cottage starts at the driveway and continues throughout the luxurious home and sprawling property, we understand that a spa outing is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. Located just 20 minutes from the world famous Kohler Water Spa, you can be assured that your deep relaxation does not wear off on the drive back.

GOLF:
Located only 8 minutes from Whistling Straights Golf Course along the beautiful coastal road, the Lakeglass Cottage is a golf aficionado's ideal home.  Lakeglass Cottage is one of the largest properties that offers direct water access. Bring your golf clubs and tee-off on 5 acres of sprawling lawns directly on the water's edge. With over 300 feet of private beach, you will feel like the Great Lake belongs to you alone!

RACE:
Located only 30 minutes away from Road America, the Lakeglass Cottage is the ideal location for any race fan. "All roads lead to Road America", but not all are as picturesque as those leading from the Lakeglass Cottage. Whether you take the long way there, or plan for a shortcut, driving among sprawling fields in America's Dairyland is what dreams are made of. Bringing a trailer? Our loop driveway will ensure that you never have to back up your trailer and there's plenty of parking to ensure ample space for your entire car collection.

PLAY:
Located just 50 minutes from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, the Lakeglass Cottage offers easy access to the all of the action that the Green Bay Packers have to offer. Don't like the crowds and the parking lot traffic? Our 3 flat-screen TVs will put everyone in the middle of the action, no matter where you are in the house. If you're more into playing than watching the game, the size of our sprawling lawn direct at the water's edge nearly matches that of the professional field.

Mini family getaway

This was really great for my husband and our 3 boys (9, 6, & 3). They loved being at the beach as much as possible. It's very deceiving from the front when you drive up vs looking at it from the back yard. We were provided with plenty of young kid friendly things to keep our boys occupied. FYI....the hill kicks everyone's butts after being at the beach for many hrs!

Slice of Heaven

This property is just beautiful! Immaculate, clean, everything you need for a very comfortable stay! Then once you step outside you have acres of lawn and the icing on the cake, Lake Michigan shoreline with a fire pit and kayaks! You will drift off listening to the waves and if you want peace and privacy on the water this is it!

Perfect Lakehouse for Golf Weekend

We were looking for something close to Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses that offered three bedrooms and a comfortable stay. This place knocked it out of the park for us. Gorgeous clean, modern house with incredible Lake Michigan views. So glad we chose this property for our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Juliane

Host profile image
We are working professionals with 4 school-aged children. After living in the "BIG CITY" on the East Coast, we had the opportunity to move our family to Wisconsin. Leaving the hectic city life and moving to a small town in Wisconsin has enabled us to spend more time as a family. We enjoy sharing our beloved Lakeglass Cottage with others so that they, too, can make precious memories by the lake.

Why they chose this property

We built the Lakeglass Cottage to enjoy as a home-away-from-home for our family of 6. We enjoy the privacy and natural beauty of Lake Michigan.

What makes this property unique

The breathtaking lake-views; the privacy afforded by 5 serene acres of lawns, prairies, and woods; the sheer luxury of the home.
