This was our second time staying at the Farmhouse and already talking about returning next year!Amazing home and property, very private and plenty of room for our large family. We took turns cooking each evening and love the kitchen which has everything we needed for preparing and serving meals.Short walk to a beautiful beach and nice having all the beach chairs and sand toys for guests to load into the wagon for a day at the beach. It was really nice having the chickens there and enjoyed fresh eggs everyday!The host is great, very helpful and everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. Looking forward to our next stay at the Farmhouse!

This house was incredible. It’s in a perfect location and the private beach access was a game changer. The property is beautiful and serene. The indoor/outdoor spaces are plentiful for large families including kids of all ages. The owners were amazing to work with and very accommodating. We loved staying here for our family vacation and will definitely be back.

A wonderful time was had by all. A perfect and comfortable farmhouse, complete with chickens and eggs. Very spacious and comfortably decorated with various areas to be off by yourself should you choose. Wonderful kitchen. My family loves to cook and we had dinner in every night. The owners were a delight to work with. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Home in Lakeside

We loved our stay at this unique home in Lakeside. The house was great, plenty of room for our family, private setting with amazing outdoor areas to enjoy. The location was perfect, close to New Buffalo, Three Oaks, wineries and a short walk to the beach. The owners were helpful and had easy check in & out. Will definitely book again!

Beautiful home

Our extended family of 13 felt right at home in this spacious and comfortable home. Every bed was made for a great night’s sleep, the kitchen and dining room hosted all of our homemade meals, and we truly felt like guests in the home of a friend. We rented bikes and a Maui mat, walked to the beach every day and again in the evenings. From the youngest toddler to the oldest grandpa, each of us had a memorable family vacation!

Beautiful Farmhouse Close to the Beach

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful farmhouse just walking distance to a beautiful private association beach. We enjoyed Fourth of July here with friends and everyone’s stay was comfortable. This home has many bedrooms, several bathrooms and a wonderful kitchen for cooking and gathering. Our kids enjoyed checking on the chickens, gathering eggs and feeding them every day. I have spent every Summer of my life in Michigan and I can truly attest this is a special property, kept with love and care by the owners who were also incredibly easy to work with, lovely and welcoming.

Amazing lake house!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this property! It was gorgeous, spacious, and extremely well equipped! We loved all the common areas inside and outside! We had fun feeding the chickens and relaxing by the fire pit. The kitchen was so well stocked, and really fun to cook in with our friends! The walk to the lake was quick and easy and the beach was amazing!! We loved everything about this house and hope to come back again!!

Annual Labor Day Vacation

The house was beautiful and had plenty of room for all of us staying. It was close to New Buffalo, Three Oaks and Michigan City-all places we went to while there for the weekend. Marjolein was very easy to work with. We'll be back next year!

Beautiful home on beautiful property

We could not have had a better girls weekend than our stay this year at Majorlein's Orchard Beach Farmhouse. We have been going to this area of Michigan for 20+ years for our girls getaway and this was the best place we have stayed. Plenty of space, tastefully decorated, fabulous kitchen, gorgeous property with peak fall colors and trails for us to wonder through. Close to all the places we usually go to on our weekends. Already booked again for next year!

Michigan 2024

We have vacationed with our family in this area for about 10 years. This house fits us best. It has great community space but also has nooks and cranies for quiet time. Our youngest was 3 years old and the oldest was 77 with several in between. We hope to come back!

Wonderful house and location

The house was clean and spacious. It has everything you need for cooking, games and books for kids and adults, and access to the beach was just a 10 minute walk away. There was a wagon to use to bring stuff to the beach, and a lot of beach chairs to use. The fenced in area was great for the kids and our dog. The hiking trails were nice too. So much space for everyone and everything we needed. Totally recommend.

The perfect weekend getaway

I cannot say enough GREAT THINGS about our stay here!! The hosts were super accommodating and responsive for anything we needed! This house is one of a kind. You could easily spend an hour walking around the place looking at the amazing details. I wanted a weekend getaway to celebrate my birthday with friends and this was everything we wanted/needed and more. It was hard to leave this amazing place! Super close to the beach/Lake Michigan. Highly suggest booking here ☺️

Spacious, gracious, beautiful, comfy

This place is wonderful! It was perfect for our group, with big, airy central kitchen and dining areas, and lots of hidden living rooms with comfy furniture so people could get away to secluded areas for work or rest. The kitchen is well-appointed and well-designed for cooks. Bedrooms are quite spacious, with comfy beds. Set in a beautiful woodland, we felt surrounded by greenery and songbirds. The Lake Michigan beach is a short walk away. Outdoor spaces for humans and dogs are great.

Great Little Getaway

Our group had an amazing time in the house; there was nothing we could have wanted that we didn't have! The kitchen is amazing, there is a ton of space to spread out and enjoy yourselves. We really appreciated the fenced in side yard for our small dog, and the owners were so gracious in letting us bring him. The walk to the beach is a tad farther than you think, but not too far at all. We look forward to staying again, and would love to spend time in this town in the summer! I bet it's bustling :)

Charming and eclectic and room to spread out

We are an extended family group of 6 adults and 4 children. The Orchard Beach House had something for everyone and lots of nooks and crannies to occupy for together and alone time. The furnishings and decorations are fascinating with lots of games and books to fill in the times between the beach, exploring the area and playing or relaxing in the yard. The grandkids loved the saucer swing in the side yard and we all loved the fire pit, watching the deer and the excitement of the trains. A good time was had by all.

Great house and grounds!

Perfect stay, but the great rooms and kitchen had no AC. The weather cooperated though, and the fans sufficed. Vrbo advertises 4.5 bathrooms, but we counted just 2 full and 2 half. Perhaps there were more in the basement? Private beach is only a 1/2 mile walk. The kids loved the chickens!

Lovely home away from home!

The farmhouse is big enough for a large group yet cozy enough when our group dwindled to three. Every cooking utensil was there, no need to bring anything. The house has an eclectic fun style-- we loved the bowling alley countertops and the farmhouse chic decor. One word of warning, if you hope to do any work or hold meetings via Zoom, the wifi is weak and will not support consistently. We solved this by going into Starbucks in New Buffalo. All in all, a lovely stay!!
