About this property

Castle on Lake Michigan near Silver Lake Dunes

Imagine living like royalty while on vacation in this one-of-a-kind castle designed home that sits on Lake Michigan! Enjoy the private beach frontage just steps away from this dream home.
Your biggest decision will be where to watch the sunset from. There is a roof top deck, several other decks and balconies and the sandy shoreline of Lake Michigan to choose from! This home also features unobstructed views of the Lake from every floor in the home. This vacation home is located minutes away from all of your favorite things to do.

This castle-like home features 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 2 half baths. There are 4 levels in this home and every floor has a bathroom and space to play games or just hang out. The master bedroom features a king size bed, private master bathroom, a cozy fireplace and a 2-person jetted tub! For time away from the sun, wind and waves, there is a foosball table and a ping pong table along with games, books and a variety of toys for your family to enjoy. There is also a beautiful Hot Springs Grandee hot tub to relax in – nestled in the woods with a view of
the lake. The Castle is one of 3 homes on a beautiful, private drive that winds through the woods and dunes to the lake. Bordering the property to the north there are also 57 acres of pristine dunes available for hiking and exploring.

While vacationing here you won't want to miss out on the experiences that the beautiful Silver Lake Sand Dunes have to offer! Rent a jeep of your own or head over to Mac Wood's Dune Rides for an adventurous ride on the sand dunes. Stop at Craig’s Cruisers in Silver Lake and enjoy a host of activities there as well. Nearby is the Hart-Montague Bicycle Trail that will take you along 22.5 miles of scenic routes. The quaint little town of Pentwater is located just north of the Silver Lake area. Pentwater is the epitome of small-town charm with its shops, food, and ice cream. Don't forget to grab pastries at Cherry Point or the Woodland Market, where they
offer homemade donuts and treats daily. For dinner, spend an evening at the Farmhouse Market or the Stony Lake Inn, or grab delicious wings at the Chicken Shack in Silver Lake. Plan on spending a day with your family at Lewis Farms or Michigan’s Adventure for unique activities and excitement. Lucky for you, beautiful golf courses are also nearby. All of this is just minutes away and waiting for your family to create lasting memories.​

In addition to family vacations or couples looking for a getaway, this is a great environment for board meetings, team building activities and leadership retreats. This is a great escape, but you can also stay as connected and productive as you want to be with high-speed fiber internet and two smart TV’s!

Beautiful Lake Front Home
Our family enjoyed the views and beauty of the castle for a week. Although the weather was not always accommodating, we were able to enjoy the spacious rooms, games and puzzles that the owners provided.

Amazing Lake Castle
Very unique property on a beautiful private beach. Quite little town with some nice winerys nearby. Great spot for a large group with camp fires on the dunes and days on an amazing private beach. The views are even better than the pictures from the large back deck. Great host and easy communication.

Castle on the Lake
Great house, beach was awesome. Owner provided what we needed. Horse riding, dune exploration, golf. What more could you ask for? Fruitflies were pesky inside but manageable. Perhaps light the walkway to the beach and improve tv connection.

Our stay
We loved the house. We loved the location and the beach. But paying $1000 per night we expected better Wi-Fi and TV service. We were without TV and Wi-Fi half of the time. Otherwise an excellent Vacation.
