Had an absolutely perfect weekend at this home, we enjoyed serene mornings outside while looking at the lake and sunsets every night as well as a fire pit when it got dark! We had lovely walks along the beach, I do need to mention that the staircase up from and the beach was quite taxing, but the beach itself was so awesome!

This place is fantastic! Amazing views and comfy furniture. It's even better than the photos. Sadly, we only got to stay one of our two nights because we had to head home due to a family illness, but we'd come back in a heart beat. What a great spot.

About the host

Hosted by Lachlan Coffey

Host profile image
We are two families that have been friends for over 20 years. We love renovating houses, playing euchre, and sipping old fashioneds! And we love hosting guests in our Inn Dew Thyme home on Lake Michigan with stunning views!!

What makes this property unique

This home is on Lake Michigan with the most gorgeous sunsets right over the water...it's a bonus when you see a storm rolling over the water. Although the home is quite modernized, it's also the quietest, most peaceful place we know with very little activity near it. Many beaches are nearby with plenty of good food and shopping, but you'll get every bit of the relaxation you need when you walk through the door at Inn Dew Thyme. There's lots of nice perks here also such as beach chairs, firewood, fast (fiber) wi-fi, and much, much more.
