ABOUT THE RENTAL
If the Four Seasons Hotel chain offered a lakefront rental in Michigan, this would be it! Highest quality, full log construction in impeccable condition on Lake Michigan. A newer luxury build, executive level residence with soaring ceilings, massive log beams and rafters, plank floors, and carpeted bedrooms. Take long walks on the beach, just 50 steps from the house, and witness beautiful pink and purple sunsets from this western-facing home. Lake Michigan water levels vary each year, but this frontage usually allows you to walk out almost a quarter mile into the lake before you get waist deep. You get a secluded feeling on this heavily wooded lot, but are just minutes from all conveniences. A wonderful, soothing retreat to get away from all of the stresses back home, but with all conveniences you'd expect in a luxury retreat. You'll enjoy the expansive deck, which is ideal for catching some sun or grilling out, also the perfect place for an evening cocktail. The great room offers plenty of seating, a massive stone, wood-burning fireplace, and views of Lake Michigan. For entertainment, there is cable, Smart TVs, BluRay Player with a movie library, board games, whole house music system, and WiFi. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped and has top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero dual zone wine fridge, for your perfect temperature reds and whites. The spacious primary suite features a sitting area, king bed, private patio, lake views, gas fireplace, and bath with a dual vanity, soaking tub, and tiled shower. The two guest rooms each have a queen-size bed (one offering lake views) and all bedrooms have down comforters and pillows. The sun room has a beautiful stone, wood-burning fireplace, great for cooler evenings, and a full-size sofa bed for additional sleeping accommodations. End your evenings gathered around the firepit to enjoy s'mores and the sound of the Lake Michigan waves!

*Access to water toys and boats are not included in the rental of this property. If you would like information on watercraft rentals, please reach out to us for recommendations!

Summer getaway

It was the perfect summer getaway, we escaped the heat from Az! We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck, listening to the lake water! The house had everything we could ask for and more! It was very spacious! We had a fire indoors and outdoors ! The private beach and yard was amazing! Can’t say enough good things about this property and the homeowners communication was excellent!

Spacious Splendor

Despite the limited view across the bay and/or horizon due to the horrible Canadian fire smoke, we enjoyed the home very much. We couldn't find any kayak rental companies willing to deliver, so that was a bit disappointing, but I found the courage to enter the cold water anyway. Burrr! We would definitely want to return. The sunsets were beautiful!

Incredible Property

My family absolutely loved this house! It was large enough for all of us to gather and not feel like we were crowded. The kitchen was the perfect size for my mom and I do put together a meal and not be bumping into each other constantly. We are already talking about booking this property again in the future!

Beautiful lakefront home

This house has beautiful views of the lake and wonderful backyard space. There was plenty of shared living space and the layout of the bedrooms were ideal for our family ( Master on one side, two bedrooms at other end) . We were happy to see that TVs are now present in each bedroom which gave us a private space to retire to in the evening if wanted. We have rented three houses on this same road because we love the location and views and this one has by far been the best. For how luxury and beautiful the house is, it does have a few quirks, but nothing that made me not want to come stay again next year!

Summer getaway

My friends and family loved our stay here. So big and cozy at the same time. The lake views and sunsets were amazing. The place was very clean and pretty much had everything we needed. My only issue would be the beds - they were a little on the hard side for everyone in the house. Was not a deal breaker and we would stay here again!

Family fun at a gorgeous lakeside home.

We spent a week with our children and grandchildren at this wonderful luxurious log cabin. The scenery was breathtaking and the lake just steps away. It was a great time creating memories, enjoying nature and having a blast. Days on the shore and in the water evenings by the bonfire. Everyone had a great time.

Petoskey stone hunters

This vacation home was incredible. Before we even got there the management company was superb and then went above and beyond when we had an emergency during our stay. Thank you Danielle!! The house was perfect for our family. There was enough space to sleep and a huge dining table we could all sit at. It was clean and kitchen was huge. The patio and beach were exactly what we were imagining. What we weren’t imagining was how absolutely breathtaking the sunsets were going to be. The walkable beach was great to occupy kids time. They managed to collect 270 Petoskey stones and charlevoix stones. Don’t worry we didn’t take them all home. If you have a bug family with kids this is the perfect house. Would definitely rent again!

Gorgeous home for our Moms weekend 2021

Our group of 8 moms had a very nice time. The location was awesome except the sign marking the house was very hard to see from the road when first arriving. The house is very roomy and comfortable. Light switches were hard to understand and figure out. We never could get the in house sound system to work. The hot water ran out after 2 people showered, but we just waited a little bit and it was back. The master was very comfortable and spacious, but we were disappointed there was no tv and we also could not turn on the fireplace in it. I would say there needs to be more instructions in the house as far as how to use different things, or where they are located. As far as the outdoor area, we loved it! We spent most of our time out there. From sitting on the beach (make sure to bring your own chairs-which we did), to sitting on the deck, to fires in the fire pit. I would recommend maybe some solar lights near the deck area for the evening, but really it was such and amazing view and beautiful sounds of the waves crashing at night! There was plenty of firewood for us to use and the grill was very nice. Even though there were a few things we couldn't use or figure out in this home, it was still worth it! The sunsets were so amazing! I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful retreat with an amazing view of the lake!
