Pull a chair up to the fire pit as the sky goes gold over Lake Huron and the kids run back up from the water. This waterfront home on Sand Point's North Shore sleeps 15, so three families can share one shoreline, one long dinner table and lake views from nearly every room. Mornings start with coffee in the sunroom while you listen to the waves; nights end by the fireplace or in the game room. Downtown Caseville is minutes away, though you may not want to leave.
Three levels and a bathroom on every floor, so each family can claim its own space and still meet up for meals.
Main level
Walk into the double-height great room and the lake fills the tall windows. Light the see-through fireplace, put a show on the smart TV, or swing the telescope toward a passing boat. The sectional pulls out into a sleeper when the group runs big.
- Kitchen with dishwasher, oven, stove, blender and real pots and pans
- Keurig (pods provided) and a Ninja drip coffee maker, plus a hot water kettle
- Peninsula seating for 4, a round breakfast table for 4 and a dining table for 8
- Bedroom 1: king bed with a view of the water

Screened sunroom and deck
Step out to the sunroom with your first cup and watch the lake wake up; guests say you can hear the waves from here. The upper deck has an umbrella table for lunch overlooking the water.
Upper level
- Bedroom 3: king bed
- Kids' playroom with a toddler bed, a pull-out mattress, toys and books for every age

Walkout lower level
This is the hangout floor. Settle the foosball rivalry in the game room, hand the kids the arcade cabinet, or pull out the board games on a rainy afternoon.
- Bedroom 4: king bed plus a twin-over-full bunk bed
- Second living room with two sofa beds and a TV
- Dining table by the patio doors
- Full bathroom
Good to know
Between the three bathrooms you'll find a walk-in shower and tub-shower combos. Washer and dryer, iron, fabric steamer, towel warmer, hair dryer, crib, pack 'n play, high chair, kids' dishes, fireplace guards and a Sonos speaker are all here.
Outside
Walk across the lawn to the seawall, where stairs go down into the lake (the lake ladder is in from May through October). The lake bottom is soft sugar sand, and when the water level is low a sandy beach opens up right in front of the seawall. Guests tell us they loved being able to go out the door and be at the water and wade in. Covered patio tables sit under the deck, the gas grill is ready, and the fire pit is ringed with Adirondack chairs.
WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
- Large families and reunions: with 4 bedrooms, a playroom and sofa beds, the home sleeps up to 15. One guest group of three families gave each family its own floor and bathroom.
- Families with little ones: the playroom, crib, high chair and fireplace guards mean you pack less.
- Couples' weekends: one group of adult couples told us it was exactly what they hoped for.
- Remote workers: a dedicated workspace and fast Wi-Fi let you take a call, then log off at the water.
- Dog owners: the home is pet friendly for up to 2 dogs, 50 lb or less.
- Off-season escapes: a winter weekend by the fireplace with the lake outside.
