About this property

Lake Michigan Sand Beach & Wooded Privacy

Located just east of Oostburg, Wisconsin beach and lake front home is a place to enjoy the seasons of Lake Michigan. You have your own 200 foot 'singing sand' beach. Home is located on a private road among native stands of hemlock and pine trees. The property has historically been known as 'The Clearing'. Lake Michigan in 2022 was at highwater levels which resulted in the sand beach being minimal for much of that season. The beach is back as the picture of December 2024 shows! Should be a great season on the beach at the Clearing!

This Non-Smoking home sleeps six. The dominant windows bring the outside in throughout the house. Additional amenities include wood burning stove, beach campfire site, dining area overlooks the lake, sunroom and cove rooms for coffee and quiet time overlooking the lake. Extra cabin in the rear has electricity, another two twin beds, and wood burning stove. This extra cabin provides a quiet place to get away from others or fun for the kids to hang out in.

Ladies weekend

My sister and I brought my mom and a friend here to celebrate her 87th birthday. The place was perfect! All women enjoyed getting up with the sun and the lake views. Meals were spent around the table talking and laughing. It was easy to get to Sheboygan for lunch, as well as to parks for a hike.We brought along our dog, who loved the beach and the water.Thank you so much - we’ll be back!

Always a nice time

We've stayed at this property the past 3 years in a row. The beach is great for walking and the house has perfect views. It has everything we need for our family and pets. A good time is had by all every year, we love going to the Oostburg bakery and watching the deer while eating dinner at Majerle's Black River grill. Union Asian Market in Sheboygan is excellent also, great papaya salad! Overall, a really nice area to explore and a good location to relax and watch the waves come in on the sandy beach.

Great Stay!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was our 3rd summer stay at the property and I feel like it just keeps getting better. Quiet, secluded, beautiful view and easy (now) / excellent beach access. One of our favorite beach stays that now feels like home away from home.
