Welcome to The Nest — An Elevated Lake Michigan Escape
Entirely renovated and thoughtfully designed for multiple families, The Nest Lake Michigan is your home base for laid-back luxury, lakeside adventure, and timeless year round memories. Nestled on a peaceful wooded acre west of Red Arrow Highway, this serene escape is just 90 minutes from Chicago—but feels a world away.
Perfectly positioned near all the charming beach towns of Southwest Michigan, The Nest is an equidistant 10-12 minute drive to Warren Dunes State Park and Silver Beach in St. Joseph, with Grand Mere State Park just down the street for hiking, dunes, and nature walks. Bike 12 minutes to the nearest beach access or unwind at home—you may never want to leave.
Outside, the grounds are an entertainer’s dream. Take a dip in the new heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, or cook up a feast in the covered outdoor kitchen with a 48" built-in grill, prep sink, ice maker, and plenty of space for cocktails and conversation. Challenge friends to basketball out front or bocce ball in the backyard while the kids enjoy the games, toys, and green space.
The interior is equally impressive. A chef’s kitchen anchors the open-concept cooking and dining space with high-end appliances soaring ceilings, a 48" KitchenAid range with griddle, Gaggenau steamer, pot filler, beverage cooler, three prep sinks, and two dishwashers. It’s a space designed for togetherness and ease—whether you’re cooking with local farmstand finds or gathering over a shared meal at the expansive white oak dining table.
For indoor entertainment, enjoy a retro arcade, dart board, and six smart TVs (with Roku guest mode for easy log-in/log-out). Spacious bedrooms, multiple lounging areas, and quiet corners make it easy for everyone to relax in comfort. Four gas fireplaces (in both living rooms, and two bedrooms) make it the coziest home for year round relaxation.
Practicality is covered, too. A circular drive and full-length driveway lead to a two-car garage, with one bay open for guest use. The other is stocked with seasonal gear: 4 adult bikes, 2 mid-size bikes, a Burley double bike trailer, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, quality pool floats and sand toys and sled—all provided for your stay.
