Lake Michigan Beach House Meets Riviera Flair—Just 4 Minutes To The Beach!
This freshly decorated 5,400-square-foot home feels even larger than it is—with over-sized windows and high ceilings—making it perfect for groups of all kinds. Modern conveniences abound, and unique décor, such as “vintage” Riviera travel posters, transport you to a truly relaxing time and place.
As you enter from the front hall, you will see a cathedral-ceiling great room, with its grand gas fireplace. This versatile living space also has a TV and game table for those cozy nights when you just want to relax. Expansive spill-out spaces, such as the front porch, the screened porch, and the dining room and great room deck, to name a few, provide areas of respite among the crowd when needed.
Cooking and dining are a breeze with the spacious, fully stocked kitchen with sub-zero fridge and counter seating for 3—plus, a new grill just steps away. The kitchen opens to the dining room that seats 10. The great room table seats 8, the screened porch table seats 12—and there’s even a large dining/game table in the sunny lower level—in case the kids/teens want their own space.
The Lookout is the top-level of the Riviera, and it is the ideal spot for pre-dinner refreshments. This loft space comes equipped with a bar, mini-fridge, and sink, and sliding glass doors open to a large deck with comfortable seating. We see tales of many beautiful sunsets in your future! The Lookout also offers a high-end queen pullout couch and sitting area with an overhead fan, making this the perfect place to keep cool while enjoying the view.
Seven gracious bedrooms with authentic accents whisk you away to exciting Riviera destinations in Spain, Greece, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, France, and, of course, Monaco. Large bedrooms with linens, European style, and abundant closet space elevate your experience and allow for genuine relaxation.
Full of light and windows, the lower level of The Riviera has a large central living space with a sectional sofa, a 57” TV, and an additional stone gas-fired fireplace. With its ping-pong table and large game table, it is great for family fun. Sliding glass doors open out to the backyard and fire pit area—perfect for roasting marshmallows and unwinding once the stars come out! Deer can be seen moseying around the backyard, often at dawn and dusk.
The lower level bathroom has two sinks/vanities, a private washroom area, and a steam shower.
Two laundry rooms—one off the kitchen and one on the lower level (with 2 washers and 2 dryers!) are offered for your convenience.
This spectacular home promises a unique vacation experience.
With central AC, heat, and fireplaces—it’s a great escape for all seasons’ adventures: summer beach fun, autumn colors, winter snow falls, and spring winery tours! We only have a few rules: no pets, no smoking, and ALWAYS have fun! So make it happen! Book your stay now at The Lake Michigan Riviera Beach House!

We had had an amazing stay at the Lake House! We had multiple different families staying and the layout of the house was excellent! Great space for lots of people, easy beach access, convenient to towns nearby, absolutely perfect. Our hosts were great and communicative, will definitely be back next summer!
Beautiful property, very close to the lake, great for our large family gathering. We appreciated the cribs and pack n play and all of the beach equipment (chairs, towels, wagon). This was our second time staying at the property.
We wanted to get away for a weekend with our Daughter, her husband and if possible additional family members. The weather held out and we were able to enjoy and have a nice time
House was wonderful. Only small complaint was that some of the screens were damaged and the weather was beautiful and we weren't able to open all the windows without letting the mosquitos in.

Thanks for letting us know, Laura. We will do a walk through right now and check for holes in the screens. We review the house regularly but screens could be damaged at any time. We appreciate your comment.
The house had everythig we needed for a fun beach vacation. The extra mattresses helped us spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and they supplied toilet paper and paper towels for the week. They had lots of beach chairs too. The owners were very responsive when we had a question. Overall, amazing stay!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was beautiful and perfect for our needs, especially the baby-friendly primary suite for the couple in our group with two kids under two! The basement is stocked full of games and a ping pong table for entertaining the kids, too. The neighborhood is quiet, close to the beach, and there is also a park with pickleball/tennis/basketball courts and a playground nearby. Great for a family vacation!
This is my group's fourth year staying at this property and it was great as always. We had 14 people stay comfortably for a long weekend. Easy walk to the beach, great amenities.
Our entire family enjoyed our time together at this beautiful beach house. There was plenty of room for us to gather, and each space was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The walk to the beach was just right, and we enjoyed some beautiful sunsets!
Another terrific stay at this house! House was very clean and communication with property manager was great. Short walk to beach which we took advantage of. Beach chairs were a nice perk.
This house is ideal for a friend or family reunion or getaway no matter the season. The area is beautiful with the lake right there and the house is perfect as it offers multiple places for groups and yet other areas if you want some quiet time. We cannot recommend this experience enough!
Perfect place for a multi family reunion - clean, well appointed, beautiful house in a great location close to the beach. I was initially concerned about the extensive paperwork required, but the village is really wonderful and it seems they want to keep it that way. Excellent stay!
The house was wonderful! A beautiful property with fabulous views. Loved the walk to the beach. The fully equipped open kitchen and fantastic views. Lots of light, fireplaces and comfy bedrooms. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This beautiful home is a perfect place to have a large group of friends or family. A wonderful large open kitchen, high ceilings, two fireplaces and beautiful bedrooms. So cozy for a winter stay or a summer vacation. Right by the beach surrounded by woods. Can't wait to come back next year!
Beautiful home that was perfect for our large family gathering. Property was clean and had everything we needed. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Towels, chairs and even wagons were supplied. Grocery store was close by for quick trips.
Love this beautiful property. Incredible large windows overlooking the woods and the lake. Large kitchen and dining room. Great comfortable bedrooms. This is my third year and I will return. 4:00!
The house was a good as the pictures. It was super clean and well stocked! Beautiful location. Only negative was you can't really see the sunset, but you can walk to the beach to see it.
