This wooded lakefront location is in heart of the Southwest Michigan’s Wine Country- it is breathtaking and tucked away yet directly on the lake for swimming, fishing, boating, the new Hot tub, and close to the nearby wineries, beaches, hiking trails, cycling, deep sea fishing in nearby Lake Michigan, golf courses and tennis courts.

The warm, charming layout of this secluded and private cabin creates the perfect space for movie nights, board games or catching up discussions alongside the wood-burning fireplace. Large windows draw in refreshing, natural light, and there’s plenty of outdoor space for wildlife-watching (not to mention the spectacular brand new outdoor hot tub). When you think “cozy,” imagine yourself curled up with a soft blanket, listening to the crackle of a roaring fire, and nothing but time to be present and enjoy the perfect hygge setup. This ECO Lux house has a custom built stone fireplace and a beautifully remodeled kitchen where blues and neutrals mirror the surrounding landscape. Two bedrooms, loft, 2 full baths and a family room, and dining area make this a perfect set-up for a family wanting a bit more privacy. Upstairs in the loft there is a loft with 2 single beds and a Queen sofa/bed with wood burning fireplace stove.

Outdoors, enjoy the beauty of the private lakefront, birds and outdoor lake activities. Whether stretching out on a chaise lounge to catch some rays with a beach read, swimming, fishing, dangling your feet off the end of the pier, grilling up burgers and dining al fresco, or soaking in the hot tub under the stars, there are no shortage of take-your-breath-away moments just awaiting your arrival. Weave magical memories with your loved one or family. Its the perfect time to reunite with friends and family in a gorgeous setting. This property is ideal for the discriminating guest that values privacy, security and perfect seclusion. Mindful rustic luxury- organic, elemental in a cabin like house. All natural surroundings- wood, stone, glass - all local- plus the majestic quiet lake with over 200 feet of private lakefront frontage the house sits on. Awaken body and mind in a haven of tranquility.

Perfect retreat
I went solo with my dog for a retreat and this was a perfect spot -I look forward to returning with the family. Nestled in the woods in the wine country and central to everything the house sits on a small private lake on an acre and a half lot. It is secluded and quiet. The house is eloquently equipped and could easily support a family of 8. Everything you could do outdoors is considered from fishing to boating to games like horse shoes. The hot tub is spectacular; there is a grand stone fireplace inside and large fire pit outside. The owner considered everything from a thoughtful appointed fully functioning kitchen to a surround sound system. It’s a magical spot. Well cared for. Owner was very helpful.

Great time
I enjoyed my stay here. The house is nice and has great views of woods and the lake. It is not in Union Pier, but 20-25 mins outside of Union Pier and Benton Harbor. Had a great stay and Mona is super communicative and helpful.

Fall Family Peaceful Retreat
Lovely home. Stunning location. We were very comfortable. Well appointed kitchen. Great linens and pillows. Cool woodsy hot tub with changing colorer lights. Fabulous correspondence with owners. Easy check in and out. Highly recommend morning coffee with sunrise on the dock. Note: the upper balcony attached to master bedroom is not accessible - our only disappointment with the property. Perfect for all ages - our group ranged from 25 to 55. Loved the wineries, beaches, dunes, trails and fun shops nearby! Mona is a delightful host and gave us some excellent recommendations for food and fun!

Wonderful Stay - Peaceful & Tranquil
We had a great weekend away at Mona’s lovely property. It is close to great wineries and restaurants, but just relaxing at the house with the lake, fire pit and tranquil scenery is wonderful as well. Hope to come back soon! Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Anniversary getaway
Wish we could have stayed even longer. Good communication with Mona & speedy correction of concerns or answers to questions. Loved swimming in the private lake, or just sitting on the dock. Close to multiple activities of choice, perfect scenery of vineyards & orchirds on the drives. Wish we could have used the upper deck, but understand rationale-- same type of cocerns with my childhood home. Would love to see the addition of a railing on the stairs down to the lake.

Highly recommended house in a beautiful setting. The home is quiet, and peaceful. The lake is beautiful and the water is clean. A great place for a romantic get away. Lots to see and do, winery's, national parks and good restaurants. The owner provides great service and great information about the area. I will definitively consider visiting again.

Fantastic Lake Vacation!
House was even better than listed. Super comfy, lovely location, close to many amazing places, including Warren State Park. My 22, 19 and 16 y-o sons and their girlfriends loved the place, as did my dogs. Magical, lovely vacation, and host checked in to make sure all was well. Can't recommend enough! Much needed vacation for all of us, fabulous location, clean, well cared for. A million thanks to host and cleaning crew!!! If you are looking for a quiet getaway with lots to do, look no further! You will be well cared for. Host checked in with us while we were traveling to make sure we had all possible local itineraries covered. Checked in during our stay, and while we were on our way home. Total class act. Stay here -- you will not be disappointed!
