Luxury Lake Michigan Home

Spectacular Lake Michigan views, sunsets, and fireplace all within close proximity to the quaint resort towns of Douglas and Saugatuck make this home the perfect vacation spot for a family vacation with grandparents. This ultra clean home completed in 2005 has a grand terrace overlooking Lake Michigan where you can enjoy outdoor dining with the large gas grill, a Lake Michigan sunset or simply watch your family play a game of badminton on the lawn.

We are in the process of rebuilding our beach staircase and expect it to be completed by the beginning of June 2022. Our guests will have access to 150 feet of beach directly in front of our home.

Even before the COVID-19 Pandemic, we always allowed at least 29 hours between guests to enable a deep cleaning of our home. During the Pandemic, we are investing even more time to disinfect surfaces throughout our home.

There are 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths (a full bath per level), and our home sleeps 12. We have a second family room room and gaming area for the kids located in our lower level.

There is central heat and air conditioning throughout the home. Linens and towels are provided. Smoking, pets and guests of guests are not allowed.
