Amazing Lake Views, Beach Access, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Screened Porch & Game Room

Escape to a Luxurious Lake Michigan Retreat

Welcome to your elevated escape on the shores of Lake Michigan, where sweeping lake views and refined comfort set the stage for an unforgettable stay. Just a short walk from beach access (please note: the access directly across the street may be affected by erosion; an alternate beach is located just 2–3 blocks away), this elegant home offers the perfect blend of relaxation, style, and convenience.

Step into the heart of the home—a chef’s dream kitchen with premium appliances and an oversized island perfect for entertaining. Share meals and lake breezes in the spacious screened-in porch, or unwind with sunset cocktails on the rooftop deck overlooking the water.

Designed with gatherings in mind, the home features expansive common areas ideal for playing cards, sharing conversation, or simply listening to the calming sound of waves. Whether you're connecting over a glass of wine or enjoying quiet moments together, the layout offers both space and comfort.

After a day of exploration, indulge in the oversized outdoor hot tub (available for an additional fee), or gather around the large fire pit under the stars.

The primary suite is a serene sanctuary, complete with a bath with oversized shower and a lofted office for moments of quiet productivity. The main house includes three additional well-appointed bedrooms, while the detached guesthouse offers a private fifth bedroom, a full bath, a refrigerator and microwave, and a charming loft with two extra beds.

Downstairs, the lower level family room with lake views and entertainment for all ages—enjoy classic video games, ping-pong, board games, or a cozy movie night.

Ideally located near award-winning restaurants, wineries, breweries, boutique shopping, and casinos, this home places the best of the region within short driving distance.

Professionally cleaned and sanitized before every stay.
Maximum occupancy: 14 adults (or 16 with children); strictly enforced.

Treat yourself to the ultimate lakeside getaway—where every detail is designed for comfort, connection, and lasting memories.

Beautiful home! Honestly it’s even more beautiful in person than the pictures. Loved the short walk to the beach which we had to ourselves most of the time. The hot tub was amazing and so clean. So fun at night with the patio lights. We even saw deer and raccoon from the hot tub. The views from the house (which was my number one request) were spectacular. Enjoyed morning coffee on the screened porch listening to the birds. This was my first experience staying in a short term rental and I think I’m spoiled. Oh and communication from Tripti was prompt and top notch from sign up to check out.

This house was wonderful for our group of 10. Our kids and grandkids had so much fun and asked if we were going to live here now!!! The house was very clean. Kitchen was huge and had anything you needed to cook and serve. Everything you could need was provided, and then some. The views were spectacular. Beach access was two blocks away. Tripti left a bottle of wine, as well, which was very appreciated. We're ready to go back!

A Great Time was Had by All!

The home was perfect for our group- large open floor plan, well set up kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. We loved the upstairs deck for gathering as a group to watch the sunset, the kids loved the hot tub, and the garage apartment was perfect for our son’s family with a baby. We loved the beach and the nearby park with pickleball courts

About the host

Host profile image

My husband and I live in Chicago and have been coming to this area with our two sons for many years. It's the perfect location for relaxing, having family fun and creating great memories. We love sharing this home with extended family & friends as well as our many happy renters who create their own friend & family memories.

Why they chose this property

We built this new home after owning property in the area for several years. We love the location - directly facing the lake and a short walk to the beach. The property was designed specifically for large groups to get together and create memories. Large common areas, multiple seating areas and fun outdoor spaces.

The Village of Michiana is a beautiful lake front community with sandy beaches, a picturesque creek, beautiful streets for long walks and a fully equipped kids playground. We love the Harbor Country area with it's many dining options, wineries, breweries and shopping.
