Enjoy your time on Lake Michigan

Julie’s place was fun, relaxing and a wonderful hideaway for a birthday. Really cool furniture and fully supplied kitchen for fun at the house. Or plenty of nice restaurants in nearby Sheboygan. Enjoy the deck directly on the beach with awesome sunrises and beautiful late night star gazing.

Great getaway vacation stay

Perfect location for an extended-family getaway -- each family had a bedroom (we have smalls, so beds weren't an issue), and the views are unbelievable. Even with crummy weather and an extremely high water level at the lake, we managed to have a great time.

This house was perfect for a fall weekend. The spectacular view of Lake Michigan combined with the sound of waves lapping on shore made this stay a win. House was immaculate and in a great location.

Great Family Vacation Home!!

We found Julie's home to be very clean and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 and our large dog. We were fortunate to have great weather and enjoyed most of our time on the beach. This was such a wonderful area. We will definitely book again!

Beautiful home with beautiful beach

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We arrived to a clean home with a wonderful deck to watch the sunrise. Spent a lot of hours relaxing and watching the lake. Few short steps and you are on the beach. Exactly what we were hoping for. Julie was very responsive to any of our questions and very easy to work with. We hope to return!

Amazing Lakeview

We had a wonderful weekend getaway, the property was very well maintained and clean. Very much enjoyed sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the lake each morning. We were able to snow shoe at Kohler Andrea State Park and really enjoyed dinning at The American Club in Kohler, both only a short drive away. Thank you Julie for your great hospitality and follow-up, we will definitely be returning, hopefully this summer for a golf getaway.

Great getaway with a spectacular view

The house is amazing to sit back and relax and enjoy the heart of Wisconsin. Weather you are enjoying the outdoors, going to a Packer game, fishing out of Port Washington, this house is in the center of everything. It is very well kept and I want to thank the owner for our entire stay. She is very personal and informative. Best ownership of a VRBO I have ever stayed at.

Great Trip!

My husband, myself and our Wheaten Terrier had an enjoyable long weekend. It started out chilly and damp, but warmed up nicely. Our dog loved the walks up and down the beach and so did we. Very relaxing listening to the waves and sitting on the deck. Thanks.

What a great spot. Right on the lake, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water. Fireplace in great room. Perfect outdoor space. Watched waves crash on the shore during a storm, then caught an incredible sunrise. Our weekend went by too quickly.

Sweeping Lake Michigan view

Wonderful lakefront property with sand beach frontage including 5 miles of walkable beach. Picture windows provided a great view of crashing waves or serene water, depending on the mood & personality of the lake that day. Great for watching the lake during a thunderstorm. Deck was perfect for relaxing & reading & eating g dinner by the water. Had a wonderful, relaxing week here.

Stunning home on quiet private lot in paradise

This home on a sandy walk-out beach is one of the cleanest, ship-shape properties I’ve ever stayed at. This mid-century style retreat has amazing views with walls of glass on the east (lake) south (sunny) sides with the spare, tasteful decor (no cottage kitsch). The deck gets sun all day and the beach fire pit is sheltered and inviting. This is a very private beach with no other rentals — or raucous parties— nearby. Serene and peaceful yet 5 minutes from town and groceries. The lawn is lush and perfect for net games. We had a lovely time in a little bit of paradise to recharge our batteries and enjoy nature, the lake, the woods and solitude. Lake Michigan is amazingly warm this time of year. And the beach is pure sand as far out as you can go. I brought my own SUP and had a glorious time on the water, then cocktails around the fire pit. We will definitely be back! This is a gem.

A lovely and relaxing stay

My husband and I and adult daughter and son-in-law stayed at the Oostburg lake home. It really exceeded our expectations in terms of the loveliness of the setting. The home is a delightful MCM place with a mix of authentic furniture for the period and some stunning older pieces. The home was comfortable and cozy and everything we needed was there. The neighborhood is quiet and the lake setting is spectacular. We spent a lot of time enjoying the views from the deck. We hope to return to this home during another season.

A beautiful home! the views of the water and sunrise are spectacular. There was a bit of a miscommunication as there is no beach or fire pit due to high waters. We have small children so having a beach was important to us. Julie was wonderful and very friendly. Would highly recommend this for a relaxing getaway.

Wow! Just Wow!

We loved our 4 night stay here. The view! We loved sitting on the deck and watching the water and hearing the waves. One day was chilly so we watched the water through those awesome windows! The house is perfectly appointed, very cozy and super clean. All details are thought of. And the location is great - a short drive to Sheboygan or Port Washington. Thank you for providing such a lovely home! We will definitely be visiting again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

This is a diamond in the rough find. 2 hours north of Chicago, 30 minutes north of Milwaukee and you are in paradise. Private, quiet place to kick back and relax. The lake is absolutely beautiful and right off the deck. You will enjoy a beautiful natural view from every room. Nighttime is super special. Look up and you will see stars like never before. If you are lucky enough to land on the full moon, consider yourself VERY lucky. It is a sight to behold. This is not a "cottage" it is a year-round comfortable home for your family to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Private home on beautiful Lake Michigan. 3 level deck right on the water. No cliff, no steep stairs to get to the water. Beautiful private yard with huge cedar trees that block the neighbors to the north and the south. My home is a short 30 minutes to Milwaukee, and only 15 minutes to Kohler and Terri Andre Park to the north. If you are looking for "action" this is not the home for you. If you are looking to chill and relax you have picked the perfect home.
