About this property
The Lake Michigan House ~ Sleeps 16 and Perfect Sunsets Over Lake Michigan!
This three-story, 6-bedroom beauty sits right on the shore of Lake Michigan. The open concept living room/dining room is spacious with leather couches in front of the gas log fireplace and 42-inch smart tv. There are shades throughout the home for privacy.
The log furniture throughout the home adds to the vacation feeling. An 8-seating massive pine dining table and 4 pine stools at the granite counter allow for ample seating for dinners. In addition, the downstairs living area has a booth-like table and chairs that will fit into the upstairs dining area if needed and is perfect for the kids.
The kitchen appliances are all stainless steel and the counters granite. There is a microwave, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, coffee pot, electric tea pot, 4-slice toaster, crock pot, blender, and electric griddle. In addition, there is a vacuum and a washer and dryer available.
Wi-Fi and cable TV are included as is a land-line phone system. The mix of pine and plastered walls throughout the home add to the beauty. The plaster ceilings are a decorative work of art. Our 3 1/2 bathrooms include two with showers, one with a tub and shower and a half bath on the main floor. Four of the bedrooms have wall-hung flat screen TVs. The bedrooms on the second floor include two with queen sized log beds and one with full-size bunk beds. Those two master bedrooms have balconies overlooking Lake Michigan. The third floor is an open concept bedroom perfect for a group of youngsters. Standing at the large windows feels much like looking out over an ocean from a cruise ship as you gaze out over lake Michigan. Beautiful to watch the sun setting, or an impressive storm coming across the lake. This area has two queen log beds, two twin beds and a full-size futon bed. In the basement are two beautiful bedrooms, each with queen-sized log beds and large windows. These rooms open into a common room with its own smart TV and one private bathroom with shower.
The home has heating and central air as well as sliding doors in two of the second-floor masters, each opening onto their own private balcony perfect for morning coffee or watching the sun set over beautiful Lake Michigan. The fire pit has 11 wooden Adirondack chairs, and the parking area fits four (4) cars. There is a wooden picnic table on the deck, an outdoor grill, a metal picnic table and a Lake-viewing bench in the back yard. The back deck has chairs and a bench for viewing the lake.
This is the setting for a perfect, peaceful retreat and wonderful family vacation. Roomy enough for group family activities and yet space for peaceful alone time.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Howell
We are a large family who spent many years camping at Lake Michigan as our three children were growing up. Some of our very best memories include the sand and waves of Lake Michigan. Now the time we spend here includes our many grandchildren, friends and extended family as well and we are still making wonderful memories.
Why they chose this property
This home is large enough for us all to be together in such a peaceful setting. There is always something to do and space enough for everyone to be comfortable. The only thing we like better than being together is being together at Lake Michigan. We enjoy sharing this home with others who love this Great Lake as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
We are right on Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets. Sounds of waves putting you to sleep each night. Being right on the lake we anticipate installing stairs by July 2025 right into the water for easy access. These stairs will be on our property and the two adjoining cottages will be allowed to use these stairs. Beach access is 150 yards away with a rope-handrail walkway at the end of the road. Access to our private sand dunes is a short walk away. If you are VERY lucky, seeing the northern lights toward the north over Lake Michigan could be a part of your visit. And if you are not afraid of the dark, viewing the stars from the top of the dunes is incredible.
