About this property

Sprawling Lake Retreat on White Lake! Private Setting Loaded w/ extra amenities

This 150+ ft. view is all yours at Maple Beach House!
~~~ not to mention your own beach area
This Home-Away-From-Home is the place for your large gathering to spread out and relax. There is over 3,200 sq. ft. inside- and mostly on the main floor.

We're blessed to be on a secluded area of tranquil White Lake and only 5 minutes from the charming towns of Montague and sister-city, Whitehall, across the bridge.
There are too many attractions nearby to mention – truly something for everyone!
~~~see our attached photos of just a sampling.

Maple Beach House serves as an excellent home base featuring these highlights:
---New for 2025 - Wide metal dock, with staircase!
- Large 27 cu ft refrigerator with water
dispenser
- Bosch 800 tall tub dishwasher with 3rd rack
--- New for 2024 - Additional deck furniture - 2 loveseats, 4 swivel chairs, 2 ottomans, and 4 tables.
- New LVT and carpet in the whole 4 BR side.
- 65" OLED TV
- New basement bar with cosmetics/medicine fridge.
- Pet turf area for our furry guests' after-dark potty needs

Maple Beach House features:
- 2 separate living rooms, joined by a large kitchen and dinette area
(each with their own entry and lake views)
- 3 Full Baths plus the 2 upstairs bedrooms have their own sink and vanity areas!
- 5 spacious bedrooms and a Den. Sleeps 16 in beds!
~~~ 2 additional Queen pullout sofas sleep 4
- Game room! Games with table for 6 plus 2 extra
leaves
Air (not just push) Hockey, Foosball, Pool, Ping
Pong, and more

We have two full sized refrigerators and a small one in the basement with a digital temperature control. The coffee maker brews ground and K-Cups.

There is plenty of parking space, a circle drive and a 2 car garage.

This inviting retreat has everything you need for making memories with your loved ones.

Maple Beach House itself offers plenty of areas to relax and play, but it’s also a perfect home-base for the Whitehall/Montague area providing easy access to Lake Michigan and close proximity to all other points of interest, activities, and conveniences.

If you are looking just to chill, look no further than this peaceful place. Read that vacation novel, while enjoying the cool lake breezes in one of our 6 bedrooms. Take a snooze under the beautiful tree canopy. Or grab one of the provided beach towels and head to the beach to lounge by the water to enjoy the sunshine, the sound of the lapping waves, and maybe some unhurried conversation.

Everyone will love this spot on White Lake for its gorgeous panoramic view of the blue (not actually white!) waters, which are often remarkably un-crowded.
At night, build a bonfire - have s’mores and tell stories. And don’t forget to stargaze!

Please note that children are very welcome and, hopefully, will be quite entertained.
Amenities:
3 adult kayaks
2 youth kayaks
Dinghy
River Run floats
10 ft. inflatable pool
Swing set
XL Swing
Sand toys, and other games/toys
Cornhole
Pickleball game (Pickle 360)
Books, & board games.



The house is easy to get to – a short 15 minute drive from US-31.
It is 3 hours away from Chicago and Detroit, and 1 hour from Grand Rapids.
MBH is ideally located to enjoy the best of each lake:
White Lake’s warmer, calmer waters for water sports like skiing, tubing, fishing, and swimming.
And Lake Michigan’s immense waters & wonderful beaches with soft sand and waves –
5 miles away via boat (via channel access with its great view of the White River Light Station & Museum)
and car (convenient parking is available at Duck Lake State Park Beach, where you can enjoy Duck Lake, the warm, shallow waters of the channel – a big hit with the kids- and the “big lake”).

The house will be stocked with some starter supplies such as coffee, filters, sugar, salt, spices, paper goods (towels, tissues, toilet), soap (hand, dish, dishwasher, laundry), garbage bags, propane, roasting sticks, and firewood.

Food, beverages, and extra supplies needed can be purchased nearby. The sister cities of Whitehall and Montague are only a couple of miles away. Montague Foods has a large selection of high quality groceries, beer, and wine. Check out the World’s Largest Weathervane before going in! Also take advantage of the Farmers Market (and Artisan Market) across the street on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

When it’s time to eat, you will find everything you need to prepare meals for 12 and serve meals for 24 (who wants to do dishes every day on vacation?), or to call for takeout or delivery (menus from local restaurants are at the house).


Check out the White Lake Area’s Visitors site at whitelake.org for a wealth of information, including a downloadable Visitor Guide. There are many special events throughout the year, such as the Cruz’In Classic Car Show, the Arts and Crafts Festival, and the Wine and Jazz Festival. But, you can easily spend any day just in the walk-able picturesque towns of Whitehall and Montague with its many unique shops and attractive places to get some tasty food and drinks. Montague and Whitehall boast a handful of excellent craft beer, wine, and spirits makers.

Take a look at our “Other Attractions and Activities” section for web addresses to some of the other popular places near MBH. There is so much to see and do in the White Lake Area, you will want to stay longer than a week! (Ask us about discounts for longer stays).

Maple Beach House makes it easy for your vacation to be what you want it to be – a memorable fun-filled escape!

In 7 years of family getaways, my adult daughters agreed that this was the cleanest home yet. Good spaces, amenities, linens, and more made the move into it easy. We loved the inland lake and opportunities for fishing and tubing it afforded us. Careful attention to details and GREAT communication made our 20 persons visit a 10!

Great place to stay

This was a great place to stay. The layout of the house was great for multiple families or a group of friends and the lake is very nice. The kitchen was also well provisioned with utensils and pots/pans, etc., which is not always the case in other rentals.

Awesome house!

Maple beach house worked perfectly for our family of 15. It was super clean, very nicely furnished and right on the water-no steps. The location is great for nearby beaches and other fun activities. We rented a pontoon which was brought right to the dock. The owner was super easy to work with and very responsive. A great place for a great time!

Great Place for Family Reunion

Our extended family had a terrific time. Plenty of space inside and outside for adults and kids. The two living rooms is a must for a large group like ours--a space for kids to watch their shows and the other for the adults. Plenty of dining space indoors and outdoors. Basement game room a hit with the teens and adults as well. Host was attentive and super responsive to questions.

Great family vacation home

Had a wonderful time at this lake house on White lake. We had 18 people in our group-7 kids and 11 adults. Had enough beds to accommodate our group. Lots of outdoor space and play areas for the kids. The biggest hit with them was the swing! LuAnn was easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome. Our only issue was trying to checkout on time; with 18 people it was a rush to get out by 10 but we made it!

Great place for a family getaway

My family and I had a great weekend at this lake house. It’s location is secluded but still very close to restaurants and the grocery store. During the day, we spent most of our time on the spacious deck and around the fire pit. Both are overlooking the lake. We also rented a pontoon boat for 2 days. The boat launch was only minutes away from the house and having our own dock made things very convenient. The house offered more than enough room for our group of 8. LuAnn was very accommodating and made sure our stay exceeded all expectations.

Family Time

I hesitate to right a great review only because it was so wonderful we want to go back next year. While not a huge mansion this house is very well set up for families or even several couples. Great functional kitchen. Great big deck. We are outside all week. Nice sock and small Sand area. Water toys included. 12 of us we very comfortable. Lake Michigan is a short drive or boat ride.

Spacious quiet lake house

Very clean, spacious lake house with plenty of room to accommodate large groups. Our family enjoyed the two living rooms, large deck and fire pit. If you are looking for a quiet gathering place, this is a good selection. Property Manager was excellent to work with and extremely prompt in answering our questions. It is a bit tricky to get to the house as the shared drive and main entrance are only on the lake side of the property. Even with the clear directions from the property manager, I would recommend arriving during the day. We loved our stay and plan to return!

Amazing property & property manager!

LuAnn was amazing to work with, truly cared about our group, and was incredibly responsive. We had eight adults and eight kids and had more than enough room for sleeping in and just hang around in the house (when it rained). We loved the outdoors & the privacy. All of the outdoor toys were great. The kids favorite was the new utility dock & the big tree swing. Mine was being able to have all of us outside eating & enjoying the day - with enough seating, shade, and life jackets for all of us. Just a great trip! And checking out was so easy!

Very easy to work with and responsive

We had booked this property as part of a Winter Sports Weekend in early February and were excited to attend. However, the ice storms that hit the area left the cabin without power right at the time of our trip. The manager and owner were EXTREMELY responsive, proactive, and helpful throughout the experience. We ended up needing to book other accommodation, but they helped through every step of the process and kept us informed on the weather, utilities, and other local info that really saved our trip. They even called their local contacts to help us find a property that could accommodate our large group and had power. I cannot speak to the quality of the property, but the manager and owner were excellent to work with. The area is so fun in the winter with plenty of cross country ski trails, fun local breweries and restaurants, and the incredible Muskegon Winter Sports Complex (they even have a public luge)! We will definitely be back next year.

Lake life reality

While the lake and home were not perfect; we had a great time. The reality was for the price we would have liked better conditions. The lake has grass growing and this year algae bloom so we could not use the dock area for children or adults. We did not like the feel of the seaweed like grass on our legs while swimming. The deck was our favorite place to hang out and multiple people received bug bites … not mosquitoes… tho use needs to be addressed as everyone was using Benadryl cream and hydrocortisone cream all week along with large amounts of OFF. As for the home the place is clean but we really wish some of the bedrooms had more room. In order to accommodate the full sized bed… it took up 90%of the floor space so there is no room for getting around the room… this also innthe king sized bedroom. The kitchen was small as well for 18 guests to cook for… luckily we were prepared to grill most meals and it only rained once while there

Perfect for our family!

Family voted unanimously to book here next year--that's how much we loved the house/property. The division of the homes' family areas & bedrooms worked so well for our group. Son/DIL, their 3 children (ages 5,2,4mo), & dog slept in one wing of the house which could be cordoned off--advantageous for little ones who go to bed early/rise early. This space also had secondary refrigerator which we used for beverages/freezer overflow. The other 6 family members (adults ages 23 thru 60) were in bedrooms in a different wing. Beds were very comfortable. This wing also had separate living area with large TV. We cooked almost every night in the well stocked kitchen. Property has large gas grill & fire pit. The outdoor area is very private, a huge plus! Property is close to Michigan Adventure & Lewis Farms, two places everyone enjoyed--young & old. But so much to do on the property itself--fishing off the dock, floating in inner tubes & kayaking on beautiful White Lake. The 2 & 5 yo spent HOURS in the sand & blow-up pool LuAnn had set up for them. Everyone loved the swing too. Sand hill cranes, herons, ducks, deer, & bald eagles were seen during our stay, too. Can't say enough positive comments about LuAnn. She was born to be the perfect VRBO host--communicative & thoughtful of our every need. Clearly invests in the property as many rooms had been updated/renovated during off season. These are all the main reasons why we're excited to come back next year!
