Hosted by Coastal Stay. Welcome to Lake Bluff Preserve! Bring your favorite people together above the shores of Lake Michigan with 3 separate houses! Birch, Spruce, and Maple—all reserved in one booking. These three neighboring Frankfort homes combine breathtaking views with inviting interiors, generous gathering spaces, and room to retreat when you need a quiet moment.

Share leisurely breakfasts, explore Northern Michigan, and return for sunset conversations on the decks. Whether reconnecting with extended family or gathering for a special occasion, enjoy the convenience of staying together with the comfort of your own space.

Please Note: Total overnight occupancy is limited to 36 guests, with a maximum of 12 guests per home. Each house spans four levels connected by stairs. The main living spaces are on the second floor in Birch and Spruce and the third floor in Maple. Smoking is not permitted.

Quiet hours are 10:00 pm–8:00 am, with no amplified sound permitted during these hours. Fireworks are strictly prohibited at Lake Bluff Preserve at all times.

We are Pet-friendly! Pet fee is $600 per stay. A maximum of 6 dogs, 50 lbs each, are allowed. Please let us know if you are bringing a fur friend so that we may get your pet amenities prepared for your arrival. We try our best to keep hair and allergens away, but guests with dog sensitivities should be aware. Booking guests will be responsible for any pet damage.

ā˜†ā˜† BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS ā˜†ā˜†
Together, the three homes offer 21 bedrooms with 26 queen beds and 15 bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms:

• Birch: Nine bedrooms, 10 queen beds, and seven bathrooms. Bedrooms are spread across all four floors, including en-suite bedrooms on the second and third floors.

• Spruce: Eight bedrooms, 10 queen beds, and 5.5 bathrooms. Bedrooms occupy the first, second, third, and fourth floors, with en-suite bedrooms on the upper three levels. Two bedrooms each feature two queen beds.

• Maple: Four bedrooms, six queen beds, and 3.5 bathrooms. The first-floor bedroom has two queen beds, two bedrooms are on the second floor, and the fourth-floor suite has two queen beds and an en-suite bathroom.

ā˜†ā˜† KITCHENS & LOUNGES ā˜†ā˜†
Three fully equipped kitchens make meal planning flexible, whether preparing a family breakfast or dining separately. Each home features an open kitchen, dining, and living area with warm wood details and windows framing the lake.

Birch and Spruce offer additional family areas for conversation, TV time, and quiet breaks. Spruce’s coffee bar makes mornings inviting, while Maple’s cozy lounge and wooden dining table set the scene for board games and relaxed evenings. Laundry facilities are available in every home.

ā˜†ā˜† OUTDOOR SPACE ā˜†ā˜†
Enjoy morning coffee, fresh lake breezes, and sweeping views from each home’s wraparound deck. Birch and Spruce feature decks on two levels, while Maple offers its own inviting deck overlooking the water. As evening arrives, settle in to watch the sun sink toward Lake Michigan.

ā˜†ā˜† CELEBRATIONS & GETAWAYS ā˜†ā˜†
Lake Bluff Preserve’s homes are short-term vacation rentals, NOT standalone event venues. Events are permitted only with a house rental and require an additional event fee, separate from the rental cost. Booking all three homes does not include event fees.
