Sumptuous 4 BR/2.5 BA vacation home 1 block to Lake Michigan. Fully refurbished: reclaimed flooring, antique beams, custom doors and fixtures. High-end kitchen-DR-LR has entire walls of French windows. LR features stone fireplace, stylish couches, wide-screen TV. 3 BRs and BAs on ground floor w/ 2nd-flr bunkbed sleeping loft.

THE SPACE
Classy, awe-inspiring and sumptuous, 1928, 4 BR/2.5 BA vacation home, located just a block from Lake Michigan in what is known as “Harbor Country,” was formerly a local retail gathering place. Having recently been painstakingly refurbished into a stunning residential home, it includes gorgeous reclaimed flooring from antique beams throughout, custom doors, light fixtures and hardware, as well as top of the line plumbing fixtures.

The kitchen-dining room-living room area - a massive, superbly well-lit space - features entire walls of French windows, original glass-block and a wide array of seating options for meals: 4 chic stools at the white marble island, 4 leather seats around a circular marble coffee table, and a 10-seat reclaimed wood dining table. The beautifully-lit living room has at its center a classic stone fireplace, stylish (yet ultra-comfortable) couches and chairs, and a wide-screen TV. Besides the three BRs and baths on the ground floor, there’s also a second-floor sleeping loft, perfect for kids, as it has bunkbeds (w/ full mattress) and a real (mini) teepee.

Another “extra” is the detached garage, which has been turned into a posh game room, with high-end shuffleboard and foosball tables, a big-screen TV and a sound system. The exterior - which includes a spacious covered patio with cozy rattan couch, chairs and a 4-seat dining table, leading out to a blue stone courtyard - has been extensively landscaped with lush plantings, trees and professional lighting. Includes high-end kitchen, EV charger and laundry appliances.

Every detail was amazing.

One of the best experiences we’ve ever had everything was perfectly clean and set up wonderfully. And every detail was amazing.
August 23, 2023 - VRBO

Picture Perfect

A truly beautiful quality comfortable home well appointed and located in a fantastic setting deep into the woods on a private lane with an amazing lake view for perfect sunsets. We had 9 people with dogs for this week long family retreat and we loved every minute. The host was super easy to communicate with and we especially enjoyed the little touches like the fire pit, hot tub, gas grill, expansive front porch with comfortable tables and couches, and swings at the lake. 4 nice full beds in the loft with a full bathroom, 2 bedrooms each with queens on the main floor sharing a full bathroom and a bedroom with king in the basement with a full bath. Kitchen had nice appliances and was well stocked with utensils. Washer/dryer were upscale as well. Drive to best beaches just 15 mins. There is construction at the home next door. We are already planning to return next summer and can't wait!

We had a Blast!

by Gilbert

"Went there for a quick family weekend and we�re wowed right from the start. Great open front area that accommodated all eight of us for various activities like tv, games and eating. The kitchen is phenomenal. Fairly easy access to the highway and close to restaurants and bars (10 - 15 min). We had a blast."

Great place to stay

This was a great home to stay in with family and friends over the weekend. Kids want to return and stay for longer --the game room and bunkbeds were so fun for them. Adults enjoyed the kitchen, social areas, firepit and fireplace, the overall ambiance and style of the home, and very comfortable beds, pillows, couches and seating. Everything was clean and organized. Electric car charger worked without a glitch. I only wished for better access to filtered /drinking water and found the electric counter-top water filter to be insufficient for our needs. Overall though we had a great stay and would definitely return.

Amazing

The house was absolutely gorgeous, the walk to the water was beautiful, and the owners were very quick to respond with any questions. Only wish there were cliser restaurants but the restaurants we walked to were amazing.

The Host Went Above & Beyond

by Marie - IL

"Everything about our stay was great! Check in was easy and private. The house had plenty of space for our 3 families. The kids really enjoyed the loft and game room. The kitchen had everything we needed and more (even an espresso machine!). The location was great as well. Lots of local restaurants and the lake close by. The host went above and beyond! We were greeted with a sweet treat upon arrival and they even bought skewers for us to use for s�mores. It was amazing! We hope to book this home again!"

Lakeside bungalo

6 days, our kids and spouses, 4 grandchildren, 2 well behaved dogs. The entire property was immaculate. All furniture and beds extremely comfortable. We chose this house for its openness to just relax and enjoy one another’s company. Being Italian, we love to cook. There was more than enough room for all of us to participate for 3 meals a day..The stocked kitchen was wonderful. We brought our own food. We discovered the Miele coffee machine was not working properly. The contact person sent someone to repair and instruct us how to use the machine within 15 minutes! We enjoyed cappuccino for breakfast every morning. We learned and enjoyed learning much about the property from the representative.There was more than enough firewood for our fires everyday. The game room was so much fun for young and old. Location perfect for wineries, distilleries, and breweries.Our representative, Kaylin, answered all our questions, and concerns within 15 minutes!We have already booked this property in May. We’re looking forward to relax in the screened in porch, outside patio, and grilling!

Beautiful & Spacious Home

by Robyn

"Beautiful and spacious home with lots of natural light. We loved staying here. Our favorite features were the kitchen (amazing coffee machine), primary bedroom, and the garden patio fire pit."

Family stay for Thanksgiving

The house was really nice and actually bigger than it looked in pictures. My family stayed over Thanksgiving and cooked our whole meal there and it worked out great.
November 8, 2022 - VRBO

Excellent Home

We loved the decor! The house had everything we needed including all the little extras: games, toiletries, hair dryers, blankets, coffee, etc. The beds were so comfortable! Would definitely book with Juniper Holiday and Home again. Thanks for a great stay!

Lake Michigan Dream

This was an amazing experience for our family. The house was beautiful and was enjoyable for the wide range of our kids.

Family Vacation over long holiday

Very nice amenities. Perfect place to stay for my family. My grand baby loved playing in the loft/playroom. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen, playing skeet ball in the game room and just hanging out by the fire pit at night. Management company responded quickly to any questions. We are planning our stay already for next year!
August 3, 2022 - VRBO

A big hit for our family

My two sons, their wives, and children converged here for 3 days. This property had something for everyone--great gathering spaces, plenty of privacy, and a game room for the kids. Everyone wants to come back!
June 8, 2022 - VRBO

Great for a family

Beautifully decorated. Very clean. Multiple “living” places to gather both inside & out.

Better Than I Could Have Ever Imagined

This was truly the most beautiful home I have ever stayed in. I, my partner, and our friends stayed here for a birthday weekend and there was plenty of space for us in the house and it was very close to a public beach (the beach at the end of the road is currently inaccessible). I was lucky enough to stay in the master suite and it was truly incredible. From the wardrobe room to the bedroom, to the bathroom everything was amazing and beautiful. This home seriously looks like it came straight out of Restoration Hardware. The bonus game room was a fun place for us to hang out in at night and offered fun entertainment. I wished we could never leave this home and it is definitely worth checking out! Also, the woman I spoke to about the home and arrangements, Cailin, was extremely friendly and helpful!
