About this house rental

Living Spaces
As you walk up the front steps to a covered front porch, you'll feel like you're home already. And it just gets better when you walk inside. While The Beach House offers all of the modern day amenities guests are sure to appreciate, the property was built in 1910. The homeowner revamped this home with a careful eye to details, so Guests will still find much of the charm of yesteryear still remains. In the main common area, a full wall of windows with West exposure offer lake views as far as the eye can see! This area offers two plush sofas, two swivel chairs and large TV. The space also offers a small workstation and newly renovated powder room. The homes "original" living room is a fine example of the early 1900s charm offering original wood floors, a charming fireplace (decorative purposes only) and coffered ceilings. Nearby, you will find the formal dining room with seating for 8.

We had the best time at our ladies’ beach retreat weekend! The property is beautiful, the original older part of the home is charming, and the new addition matched the original house so well and added more space for gathering. We had seven adult travelers and everyone had their own bed. The furniture was very comfortable, and there were lots of thoughtful amenities provided. We caught an amazing sunset Friday night and watched the storms come in over Lake Michigan Saturday night from the covered back porch. The beach is just a few flights of steps down the dune, not bad at all compared to some Lake MI properties we’ve seen. Very private beach with beautiful view of the coastline. Thanks so much for a great weekend!

Lovely home in nice neighborhood and on the lake. The house was as advertised and well maintained. The views are great and the sunset was spectacular. We’re planning on returning with more of our family.

The embrace of century old trees and sound waves crashing on the beach make the house a cozy retreat for my family each fall. The old cottage winds back the clock to a simpler time, while the recent addition and upgrades make it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the extra space and views of Lake Michigan.

Our group (6 adults, 2 young kids) had a great time during our stay at this property. The house was well appointed and comfortable to lounge in. The beach was clean and maintained. We would recommend this rental and plan to return next summer.

We celebrated our friendship this year with a weekend stay at this classic lake house. Our time was filled with walks on the beach, needlepoint, college football on TV, wine and sunsets on the deck, and playing cards until 1:00 A.M. Good times with great friends!

This was our 2nd time at Cynthia’s home and it was lovely once again. It has a wonderful floor plan, panoramic views of Lake Michigan, everything you need. We brought our bikes and enjoyed morning rides around town and to both public beaches. A wonderful place. 💫
