About this property

Beautiful 5 bedroom home on 23 acres of woods, dunes and 500+ feet of private pure sandy lakeshore to explore. Home has soaring ceilings and full height lakefront glass bringing the outdoors inside. Three of the five bedrooms have lakefront views. Whether enjoying the warm sandy beach in the summer, vibrant colorful bike rides in the fall or snowshoeing the lakeshore in the winter, this home will not disappoint. Grab your book, brew a coffee and sit to watch the snowflakes fall or throw your swimsuit on , snag a towel and head to the beach. Enjoy the three levels of cozy heated floors to take the chill off or evening breezes at the end of a Michigan summer day. Home is also air conditioned when those wonderful lakeshore breezes aren't enough.

Local attractions (if you can drag yourself away from the lake) include:
* Silver Lake Sand Dunes (10 minutes): Adventure. Dune buggy rentals, 4 wheelers, jet ski's, bike rentals. Highly recommend the Mac Woods Dune Ride.
* Pentwater (15 minutes): Shopping, dining, fish charters. Highly recommend Cosmic Candy & Storybook Village (children's interactive book store).
* Michigan Adventure: Amusement Park and Water Park. (30 minutes). See www.miadventure.com

Additional amenities at the house include kayaks, paddle boards, 4 beach chairs, and a basketball hoop for little shooters and big shooters alike.

Dining table seats 10 plus 4 stools at counter on main floor. Second kitchen in the lower level has additional refrigerator and counter seating for 4. Many kids toys on lower level for the younger ones to play with during peak sun breaks make this great for families with kiddos.

Early risers can enjoy nature walks and wildlife each morning as you see birds, bunnies, deer, turkey, and even an occasional fox perusing the dune and property. Lake Michigan is also a Monarch migration path so you will see many Monarchs around the property and the back field of the property is a butterfly habitat with lots of milkweed, its great in late July to see caterpillars and butterflies on your nature walks!

Perfect short holiday

We stayed here over Thanksgiving holiday and we’re able to host our family from both up north and south of the home in this central, beautiful, memorable location. The house is well equipped inviting, and in a very special spot on the lake.

Anderson Family Vacation to Celebrate a 70th Birthday

I've stayed at this property previously. I was impressed then and continue to be impressed. This gorgeous home sits on top of a hill with massive windows that feels like a Tree House in the sky. We loved it. The house is clean and has everything one should need while staying there. The trail down to the beach may not be appropriate for older individuals but once on the beach....wow! We did not experience any inconveniences at all! It was an awesome week!

About the host

Hosted by Paula

We are local Michiganders who grew up enjoying lake Michigan and the dunes with grandparents, parents and now our own kids.

Why they chose this property

It doesn't get better than this with no salt, no sharks and PURE Michigan fun. This home is a dream of ours to share with others so you can create the same wonderful memories we have made. Watch the smiles and laughter from all ages on the beach, live up the warm breezy nights playing cards and games, and take in the calm mornings with a cup of coffee while you watch the lake wake up.
