BEST LAKE HOUSE, BEST BEACH HOUSE Lake Michigan, relaxing!
Walk for miles north and south on a wide expanse of beautiful sand. A walkable stunning white soft sand beach is back as of 2025! Depending on the waves there is perhaps 10-30 feet of sand width. Secluded, the neighbors to the north and south are frequently absent so you maximum privacy. Peaceful, serene, romantic, quiet. This is the home for your Best vacation experience. Ideal for a romantic getaway. This is an exclusive travel experience, avoid the crowds, be entranced by the beauty of Lake Michigan. I attempt to provide every possible amenity so you have everything you desire and can relax.
This cozy, quiet private home provides the closest experience to the rolling waves of any home in the area. Only or 5 yards distance from the edge of the lake to the living room window. Enjoy the expansive amazing panoramic ever-changing views. We have a ladder and stairs to the water and the beach. I warmly welcome 2-4 guests. For each additional guest over there is a $25 per night additional charge to be adjusted when you select a reservation. Discounts for longer stays. I appreciate wonderful return guests and they get first priority in scheduling. Corporate discount rentals for up to 6 guests. GENERAL Wonderful, relaxing, tranquil paradise. It features unobstructed, breathtaking views of Lake Michigan through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Carefully fully stocked to provide all amenities to make your stay as easy and relaxing as possible. The master bedroom awakens to the warmth of Eastern and Southern exposure, perfect for watching majestic colorful sunrises over Lake Michigan while you snuggle in bed. As you rise to greet the new day and gather in the comfort of the spacious living and dining area, sunlight dancing on the waves seems to draw you through the sliding glass doors out onto your deck, then into the lake. The open plan living space truly inspires togetherness and creates lasting, happy memories for all to share. High speed Spectrum wireless Internet keep you in touch with the real world . . . if you really want to. Wouldn't you rather . . . Enjoy the sublime sunrise, the marvelous moon rise and the starlit skies from the peaceful tranquility of a your private deck . . . Savor the flavor of your favorite meal as you dine under the stars . . . Warm up the cool evenings around a crackling fire. New propane fire "pit" this year makes it as easy as a push of a button. Drift off to sleep listening to the sound of waves crashing against the shoreline . . . While you can enjoy the convenience of a having your own modern kitchen, if you want to leave the cooking to the pros, both fine and casual dining are available nearby in Sheboygan and Kohler and a good local restaurant "Judi's'" in town. Judi's is not open in the evenings so hurry in for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. The Kohler American Club 5 diamond resort restaurants and Blackwolf Run provide unique atmosphere outstanding food and great views. In Sheboygan, make reservations early for a fabulous authentic gourmet Italian meal at upscale Trattoria Stefano. Further north the dining at world famous Whistling Straits golf course is exceptional, in a gorgeous setting and about 20 minutes away. Enjoy fun for the whole family at Blue Harbor indoor water park in Sheboygan. Golf at the famous Kohler Whistling Straits Blackwolf Run courses, or The Bull, The Bog, and many more! Pamper yourself at the luxurious Kohler Waters Spa with treatments available for both men and women. Upscale shopping, antiquing, bike trails, Lake Michigan fishing charters and Road America are all within easy 15-20 minute drives. Nearby Cedarburg also has first class dining and shopping. Many guests come to stay here for the proximity to Cedarburg and it's wineries. Mosquito Squad protects you from those pests and ticks this year! The home has 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6) and two full bathrooms (showers only). It features a rustic knotty pine interior, ceramic tile floors and ceiling fans throughout. The master bedroom faces the lake and has a king bed and flat screen TV. The second bedroom, with a queen bed, is located on the North side and has a nice view of the lake through the trees. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a new TV (2025) and view of the backyard and woods. Luxurious touches throughout. Full A/C combination wall heater is now installed for your comfort with dehumidifier. Most folks are very comfortable and open the windows at night and close them around noon if it warms up. I have ceiling fans and usually a cool lake breeze keeps guests comfortable. There is also direct beach access about 10 houses down to put in Kayaks, canoes and Paddle boards at the end of Foster AA public access.
It is a one level ranch house with few stairs. There are 8 stairs as you walk up to the house from the driveway. There are 3 uneven stairs with railing from the parking area to the walk. Then 5 concrete stairs with a railing from the walkway to the backdoor main entry.
Continuous improvements made since the renovation have only enhanced its appeal as a cozy retreat in any weather in any season. The high quality bedding, linens and furniture have been replaced so they are fresh and new. First time visitors to the area are impressed. One of the more subtle distinguishing desirable features of this home is that it is located on a tranquil lane. This becomes important for those seeking quiet relaxation. Other Lake front properties are located on smaller narrow lots, have numerous visitors as the ownership may be split between hosts of relatives and guests. Some Lake front houses will have 20 people visiting on a holiday weekend. If you are not familiar with the area it can be disruptive if you select the wrong property that is not suited to your needs.
This home offers the best accommodations for serenity, tranquility and quality time with guests. It may be the closest home to the water's edge, providing easy access for enjoying the lake with family and friends.
Some homes for rent have quite a walk to the water's edge from which also has advantages but can be problematic if watching children or dining near the water. Many guests return every year so don't wait 'til it's too late. Come visit the Best Lake House now, eh!
In the meantime, if you bring a kayak or paddle board it will enhance your stay. I am unable to provide these items due to insurance restrictions.
Other details: I now have Mosquito Squad providing control to fight those pests and ticks!
Our home is fully licensed by the Town of Holland and Inspected and licensed by the County of Sheboygan. I pay rental taxes through VRBO for Wisconsin sales tax. I must advise that the "The rocks in front of the house are dangerous if you try to enter the Lake, they are slippery and can be covered in algae." Also the rocks were recently installed and are still settling so they can be unstable. FALL-WINTER Fall is a wonderful time to stay and enjoy the change of seasons. Winter is stunning with the dramatic beauty of the lake, sparkling ice and snow. Fall always brings a stunning collage of foliage color to the area and hiking our three beautiful state parks are a lovely way to take it all in. Kohler-Andre, Harrington Beach, and Kettle Moraine State Parks are all conveniently located.
In the winter, you can hike, cross-country ski or mountain bike. A snowboard park is close by for additional snow fun. It claims the largest snow tubing park in the country, Sunburst Ski Park. (WSJ article 9-16-2022) "A home near the water can provide more than just recreation and nice views. Water is also said to have healing powers and the ability to reduce anxiety, ease mental fatigue and rejuvenate weary bodies." Costs Some interested renters wonder why the rates may seem expensive. Part of the cost of the lake front homes is the real estate taxes. The taxes are used to maintain the lovely Village of Oostburg and the schools.Our tax assessments doubled this year. The average cost for annual real estate taxes can approach $10,000 per year depending on the location. Attentive upgrades and thorough cleaning increases operating costs, but permits the nicest furnishings available.
(Note, reservations marked "Tentative" means that the dates may still be available. A signed paid for contract secures the dates and then they are marked "reserved." "Blocked" indicates planned upgrades or construction to the home that are scheduled but sometimes can be adjusted.) Contact me if you need flexibility in selecting dates. If I am able I can adjust times for your stay.

Had an incredible time here as a family of four. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this home. Everything was clean and the host thought of every detail. Location was incredible and we all loved being able to wake up to the water and watch the moon rise over the lake at night. Would absolutely recommend as a wonderful place to make lasting memories.

You and your family made hosting a joy. It was a pleasure to have you and I hope it was a perfect vacation for you and that you can continue to return year after year. It is a small but very special home and I am so delighted it worked for your family. The beach is predicted to expand and can be a perfect walk. I want my guests to enjoy their stay and have everything they could possibily need. Looking forward to your return.

Relaxing home that is near a quaint town is just about a mile off the interstate. Yet seems like a vast distance as it offers a wooded surrounding on the shores of Lake Michigan. The sound of waves and clear water incessantly comfort you! Lovely outdoor area and open interior, with many windows to view the always changing great lake, has a pleasant northwoods feel. All the furnishings you may need along with comfortable furniture (inside & out) combined with the setting makes this truly a getaway.

Beautiful, Comfortable Lakeshore Home
My sisters and I absolutely loved this home! We were there for six nights. The location right next to Lake Michigan was breathtaking! We took walks on the beach every morning and had our coffee on the deck most days. What can we say—it was ideal. The home was very clean, cozy, close to many activities & restaurants, WiFi worked great, and all in all - a peaceful place to stay at. In addition, any communication with the host was very friendly. We also appreciated her quick response time.We highly recommend this place.

Great stay - Great Location
Great house and great location - it would be hard to get much closer to the water and the views were incredible. The house has everything you need - the owner has anticipated every possible need and was very communicative about not only the property but area activities and things to do.
The location is a great jumping off point for area attractions, including state parks and the surrounding small communities. Also Sheyboygan is 10 minutes north and Milwaukee is 40 minutes south so both great places to take advantage of.

Another Great Time at the Beach House
We've stayed at the Beach House a few times now, usually the beginning & end of Summer. It's amazing how we've lucked-out with the weather, sun, waves, & cool night breezes off the lake. We drive a considerable distance for the peace & relaxation & delight in the fact that our daughters in Chicago can easily & more quickly join us. We all love the Beach House & plan to continue our reunion with our family.

Fantastic vacation experience
Beautiful house and grounds right on Lake Michigan. House is very clean and owner took great care to see that our visit went well. Lake Michigan is high this year and the waves were very dramatic and exciting to watch as the lake changes constantly.
Neighborhood is lovely with lots of trees and well kept homes.
There are several good restaurants in Sheboygan as well as the lovely Kohler-Andre State Park. We highly recommend this home.

Lake Michigan Best House
A very cozy & peaceful setting. Beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We spent a lot of time on the deck relaxing & playing games. Located 1 hour or less south of Green Bay & north of Milwaukee. Sheboygan is a gorgeous town 15 minutes north. A little bit of clutter in an older property, but nothing that takes away from the stay. Overall a really good time & super private.

Amazing view, lovely home, easy beach access, lots to do!
The house was a perfect layout for our family with views that can’t be beat! Comfortable and practical outdoor seating with a propane fire pit to enjoy each evening or early morning. The house had everything we needed and stayed cool from the lake breeze and ceiling fans. The location is off the beaten path - so quiet, but close to anything you need (Target, gas, groceries, excursions). Access to the Michigan Lake beach was a quick drive to Kohler Andrae State Park (get a multi day pass even if you aren’t a WI resident as you will likely make multiple trips) and added bonus of hikes in the park and on sand dunes. Lots of history in and around this location with fun spots to visit (Maritime Museum, Heritage Aviation Center, Pier/River walk in Sheboygan, Segway tours, canoeing/kayaking).
This is a great rental and one we would rent again and definitely be recommending to friends and family!

Best vacation EVER!!
This property lives up to its VRBO title of best lake house on lake Michigan. The enormous picture windows allow for breathtaking views from nearly every spot in the house. You can watch that blue/green lake water roll and crash against the rocks while you're watching TV, cooking, enjoying a meal or just standing there dumbfounded by how close you are to that beautiful, ever-changing body of water. The owner is also wonderful to work with. She communicated regularly and was thoughtful enough to stock the home with so many things a renter would need. She truly made it feel like a home away from home, so much so, it was very difficult to leave! The deck outside is also amazing with plenty of comfortable seating for at least 4 adults and if you are brave enough to want to take a swim in the chilly lake Michigan water, there is a ladder that allows easy access to it. The only sounds you'll hear while you're out there are birdsong, crashing waves, and an occasional motor boat--incredibly peaceful. The home is clean, cozy, and Megan left very clear instructions on how to use the TV, the Roku, the washer/dryer, etc. The location of the house makes it seem as if you are miles away from everything, but in reality, you're just a short drive away from the very pretty, exceptionally clean little town of Oostburg and Sheboygan and Elkhart Lake are only about 20 minutes down the road as well. Our only complaint was that we had to go home after just one week! We cannot wait to return!

NO BEACH "beach house" & Dishonest Owner
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LYING, DECEITFUL PERSON. This was the worst experience I have ever had renting a home. I spoke with the owner a few weeks before the trip, asking her how close the beach was to the house. She said, "Oh it's right there, just a few steps down." Well imagine my surprise when we arrive and there was NO BEACH. The water went right up to the steps. No place to lay down towels, play in the sand for my son, NOTHING. Her excuse was "the beach changes week to week" - which her neighbors confirmed as a LIE; there hadn't been a beach there all summer.
Two houses down, you can get to the beach. But to do that, you have to wade through water or walk through the neighbor's property, which she asked us specifically NOT to do. The name of this place, "Best Beach House," is a COMPLETE LIE.
The owner then had the nerve to withhold half our security deposit for things that were very petty. When I asked her to send me pictures of the supposed "mess" we left behind, she refused. So she charged us $250 for a "messy stove," leaving a dirty diaper in the trash, forgetting to close the blinds, and doing "too much laundry." HUH? After the huge lie she told us, she should be offering us some money back, not STEALING ours. STAY AWAY!!!!

This renter tried to extort money from me to avoid posting this review. VRBO reviewed her complaints, and reviewed my extensive documentation and found no validity to her claims.
Their complaint, no beach. The guests 7 days later had sufficient beach to walk on and use. It clearly states in all information that the beach level is extremely high and it varies. For the past 20 years we have had a nice beach that has diminished this year as Lake Michigan is at a 30 year high.
I have been renting my home for ten years and never before have had such irresponsible renters. They caused significant damage in two nights time and left the home filthy.
I withheld only half of the rental deposit and would have kept it all if I knew the extent of the damage they caused. (detailed later.)
There were no complaints until I withheld half of the security deposit.
The renters did not read the contract or information and instructions provided about the house.
They broke the sliding screen door requiring replacement.
They must have allowed the kids to play with the brand new commercial Maytag washer electronic control panel as after they left it required extensive service calls to allow it to work again. The "kids" may have reprogrammed it to shut down and delay start.
The septic alarm went off to notify them for the need to empty the tank. They ignored this and told no one. The septic tank overflowed and caused headaches for me and my septic service. This had never happened before.
They broke the expensive sliding glass door blinds and left them in pieces. They left 7 loads of laundry, crammed 10 people in a house intended for 6 max.
They failed to remove their garbage, including smelly dirty diapers.
They left the house unlocked, blinds and windows open and did not tell anyone. My cleaning staff had to return over a 3 day period to clean the home to standards. My cleaning costs were doubled. The oven was crusted with food, and some item containing red dye was spilled and left on the refrigerator and surrounding area requiring extensive cleaning efforts.
The guests called the day of check in with no idea of the time to arrive or depart and did not have the address of the home which is stated on each page of the contract they signed. One person contacted me to rent and another one signed the contract and checks without authorization.
I needed to make 2 trips from out of state to correct the problems and am still not finished yet.

Spectacular Views!
I wanted a peaceful getaway in a gorgeous natural setting, and I got it! The host, Megan, was kind and communicative. The house and the views outside were terrific! You feel like you're almost on top of Lake Michigan. The water is too high right now for beachfront access, but it feels great to just sit outside (or inside) and listen to the waves, and to watch the moon rise at night. It's also really convenient to various destinations like Kohler, etc. If you're looking for a wonderful escape, this is it!

Indoors/outdoors
The indoors of this property was wonderful. Fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Comfortable furniture and beds, kitchen was great and bath/showers were nice. When we arrived however, we had to uncover and move the outdoor furniture and tables and sweep the entire area of leaves and needles. We aren’t getting any younger and then we had to move and cover it all again before we left. Again, no real complaints, but that wasn’t the best way to begin and end our stay. We would come back again for sure.

Beautiful view!
The house was spotless and had an amazing view of the water! We also enjoyed all the comfy furniture both inside and outside on the patio!

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Megan Chadwick
I grew up in different parts of Michigan and Illinois so the connection to the small farming town of Oostburg is special for me. It affords a much-needed respite from the stress of everyday. Life can be hectic and I am certain to feel relaxed as soon as I pull into the tree-lined drive. I enjoy the peaceful comfort of this cozy house with its ever changing, yet always extraordinary views. The charming little neighborhood, delightful Dutch community consistently bring a smile to my face. I enjoy driving the local country roads and seeing horses, cows, green fields, harvesting of crops. Yet I can also be content whiling away the hours enjoying the antics of different bird species: Seagulls busy themselves feeding in the shallow ripples, Cardinals flit from tree to tree or Loons and Canadian honkers, majestic as they fly in tight formation along paths closely adhering to the shoreline, loons and even wild turkeys are visible to the observant. There is something so calming and soothing about the movement of the waves. Some days glittering and melodic, other days crashing similar to the intensity of the ocean. I have visited many locations around the US and still find this my favorite retreat in all seasons. I find it difficult to leave.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
Quiet peaceful and serene access closest to lake Michigan. I work extremely hard to be sure my guests have every item available to them to make their stay as pleasant as possible. A full list of what is provided comes with your welcome letter. My staff and I are responsive to any issue. I attempt to have every amenity you would like so you can relax. The home provides a chance to “get away from it all,” spend time indoors or out and create happy memories. The nature is serene. It brings tranquility and calm to my life. The attraction of being almost "in" Lake Michigan makes this home truly special. Proximity to the Lake is the best of any property on Cardinal Lane. The waves can be alternately soothing or exhilarating, rivaling those of the widest, deepest oceans, changing in intensity and appearance as often as the wind. Neighboring wildlife come to bathe and sip the cool water. It is quiet and the neighbors respectful. One of the unexpected joys is walking down our quaint little lane. The dirt road is gorgeous in any season, shaded by a variety of tall trees, walled by a bed of green ferns and backed by a dense thicket of swampy woods that only enhance the feeling of being far away from the urban jungle. Winter and fall bring a wild beauty that I still enjoy after 30 years of living on Cardinal Ln. The close-knit Cardinal Ln. community is peaceful, lightly populated with lovely neighbors. The home is nature at its best, secluded yet surrounded by peace, comfort and safety. Only one mile from the home to route 43-highway travel from most locations. Only 2.5 hours from downtown Chicago 45 min. north of Milwaukee. I enjoy the luxuries of Kohler nearby. The food and environment at the American Club offers fine dining and fun afternoon tea in the atrium. I like the town of Oostburg for its simplicity and ease of access to any necessities.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
Best Lake House has easy access by car and no hassles with lines at check-in or waiting for elevators when all you want is to drop everything and relax. Unique to this part of Lake Michigan, the area under the water and on the beach is covered in blond, finely grained sand. The lake water temperature and quality vary, but at times the it’s crystal clear and sparkles like diamonds in the sun over the smooth soft sandy bottom. The home provides both family togetherness and “alone time,” depending on your mood. Stargazing on clear nights, warming your weary bones around a crackling fire . . . Entertaining is easy, with snacks and drinks from the kitchen so conveniently accessible to the deck and beach. Watch a movie or select from our collection of family board games if the weather turns cloudy. Oostburg has all the basic amenities. Like much of small town America, it closes up early on Sunday. The charming Judi’s Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the most delicious Oostburg Bakery, small supermarket, gas station, are conveniently located in downtown Oostburg. Familiar big box stores (Costco, Target, etc.) are short drives if you are so inclined. Shopping is less painful in Wisconsin with the 5% Sales tax! For an abrupt transition from the laid back beach life to high end luxury, visit the American Club in Kohler. Whistling Straits is a world class golf course with a great restaurant. Pamper yourself with a treatment at their $11 Million Waters Spa, hit the links on one of their championship golf courses, enjoy a superb meal at one of their many excellent fine dining restaurants or browse their exclusive WoodLake Shops for unique treasures. Check with the American Club for Spa or golf packages and availability and review their calendar of special events. They offer entertainment usually every weekend that can be joined with a bit of advance planning. Elkhart Lake racing and dining are within 30 minutes. Charming Cedarburg is 45 minutes away.
