The Space:
Find a true escape in the luxe comfort of this two-story lakefront home! This home away from home offers the best of both worlds: a private location in a beautiful wooded setting and very close to town. You can walk or bike to everything and there is no need to take the car at all. Hikers will be pleased to know that Heritage Trail and Alligator Trail are right here - only two blocks away. Walk to the coffee shop and grocery store as well. In addition, you will enjoy 100 feet of private Lake Michigan beach frontage, and when you are at the beach, you would never know it's so close to town!
Inside, this air-conditioned retreat enjoys a welcoming living area with beautiful vistas of north and south Manitou islands, inviting sofas, and a smart TV with streaming and cable to keep you entertained during your stay. The kitchen has been appointed with all the major appliances needed to prepare delicious homemade treats for everyone and even try new recipes. Enjoy your feast indoors or on the lakefront deck with impressive views.

Perfect place for a family ranging from 18 months to age 68. The beach was just out the back door and town a 5 minute walk down the driveway. Very private due to the long driveway through the woods to the street. Couldn’t be better!
