About this property

Enchanted Treehouse On Lake Michigan - Near Grand Haven and Holland

The Enchanted Treehouse is perched on a sand dune overlooking Lake Michigan with 100' of private lakefront. Enjoy the magnificent lake views from every room or the deck with table, chairs and BBQ.

Enjoy sightseeing and dining in Grand Haven 9 miles (15 minutes) to the north or Holland 12 miles (20 minutes) to the south. Take the 145 steps to the beach and park your blankets or chairs on your own private beach. There are no rocks and the sugar-fine sand slopes gently into the crystal clear water.

Avoid the crowds and enjoy the peace and tranquility that this property has to offer. This unique modern rustic, post and beam style cottage was designed by award winning architect Chuck Posthumus to maximize lake views while minimizing environmental impact on the critical dune.

Sorry, not suitable for weddings or other events. Parking is limited. The unique features of this house that provide the spectacular treetop views, also make the home more physically demanding and unsuitable for people who have physical or ambulatory limitations and it is not handicapped accessible.

Rates are based on 2 guests; add $10.00 per night, per additional guest. 1 - 2 dogs allowed with owner's permission and additional pet fee. Must request at time of booking and provide breed, size and age.

There are three outdoor security cameras onsite. One faces the driveway, one faces the two entry doors, and one faces the steps to the beach.

Great view and stocked well BUT negligent

The view and sounds of Lake Michigan were outstanding. Celebrating and playing games with a million dollar view was great. Furniture was old and not comfortable, but tolerable. TV's and tech was better than described. Beds were good, but two of the rooms have no heat ducts and kids were cold. The reason I will never return was the lack of care for the driveway and stairs. I sustained car damage when I slid down the driveway backwards after not being able to reach the top of the driveway. We contacted owner who blamed plow service. We stayed three nights and no one ever came to support. We had to shovel and salt the entire driveway. Not only did we have snow and ice on the stairs, but also leaves! Obviously, nothing had been done in quite a while and no concern to our safety. We could not access beach due to the stairs as well.

Perfect escape

Beautiful house with a stunning view! This house had everything we needed and the check in and check out process was very clear and smooth. The weather was perfect and had 2 amazing sunsets down at the beach—basically had the beach to ourselves.

Amazing view and vibe

This place has a fantastic view and private access to the lakefront, which our group took full advantage of. It was clean and had all the amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms, which we needed to cook and be comfortable staying for several days.

Where do I begin?

I cannot praise this treehousebhaven enough. Clean, spacious, private, well-equipped, private, right on the beach….did I say private?! Sleeping to the sound of waves, an astoundingly beautiful view, comfortable touches like nice smelling soap, ample cleaning supplies, soft toilet paper….nothing on the cheap. Thank you! Thank you!

Gorgeous lake views from every room !

We were very happy with our stay at the enchanted treehouse ! You might warn potential guests about the Stone steps to the lake, though. We had no problem with them, but some less active folks might find them a bit intimidating. Overall, a lovely place to stay !

Amazing private Lake Michigan beach house

The tree house is one of a kind. We try to make it an annual tradition to spend a long weekend there. You rarely see other people while visiting and the views of Lake Michigan are stunning. The house comes with everything needed for your stay. You’ll rarely find yourself without an item you forgot. It’s dog friendly too which is a major plus. Our doodle loves to swim and lay on the deck watching the squirrels. There are many steps to the beach - one point of caution for older people or children. It’s a commitment to go down to the beach but definitely worth it!

Family Get Away!

We had a wonderful time in the Treehouse!! It was my husband, daughter, her husband and their 2 year old daughter. The weather for August was very chilly; required sweats and a blanket to sit on the deck! The house was just as described. There are ALOT of steps, but it was manageable. Your house had the best stocked kitchen of any rental I have ever stayed in. It was not lacking for anything!!! The only issue we had was no window treatments on the bedrooms. No worries for the adults, but for naptime it was too bright. We wetted the windows and put aluminum foil up - it worked just fine!!! We took a day trip to Holland and then to Grand Haven - easy drive and not too far. The sunsets were beautiful and could be easily seen from the deck. My granddaughter loved them and wished the sun sweet dreams each night. Thank you for sharing your house with us!!!

Love the house and beach. Kids did not mind the stairs to the beach and adults did limited up and down trips - good cardio. But the view and property are worth it!

Perfect family vacation & marriage proposal

The treehouse was great. Perfect kitchen/dining space for our family; bedrooms with loft beds was fun and spacious. The view was beautiful, hearing the water in evening was relaxing. My son proposed to his girlfriend on the beach, a perfect place for a memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you for making your beautiful house available as a vacation rental. -The Hardys

Rustic retreat

The climb down to the beach and back up again was tough for little kids (very steep), but other than that it was great! Lots of family board games, a pack n’ play, and even some toddler toys made it easier to travel with kids.

About the host

Hosted by Randy Skalski

Host profile image
This is our third vacation rental and we love what we do. We live in Annapolis, MD and love to getaway to the mountains or the beach all seasons of the year. We hope you enjoy staying at our Enchanted Treehouse on Lake Michigan. Enjoy! Stacy and Randy Skalski

Why they chose this property

We searched up and down the shores of Lake Michigan from South Haven to Muskegon and think we found the perfect beach and ideal location between the lovely towns of Grand Haven and Holland. We first saw this property for sale at Thanksgiving time 2016, fell in love and named it the Enchanted Treehouse.

What makes this property unique

The treehouse, mounted on sturdy poles, has a commanding view of the lake which will get better as I gradually trim down some of the tree cover.
