Beautiful quiet Lake Michigan location

We enjoyed our stay - the house layout was great for our friends with their child to stay on one end and us on the other. Two full bathrooms (no bathtub) worked out for all of us. Loved the amenities of the full kitchen/bbq, it allowed us the opportunity to eat breakfast at home and cook out! Loved the beach access, for morning/evening strolls. Also great that kids can't "see" the beach from the house, allowing us to go down to the beach when adults were ready. The house was clean and had most everything we'd need and easy parking. the neighbors were also friendly. There was only 1 ceiling fan and it was in the master bedroom, with no a/c and the doors open at night- the wind was north/south so the house got hot at night. (the weather was in the upper 80's during the day so when we were out the house reached 79+ with the windows shut). I'm sure if the wind shifts it would be pleasant with the sliding doors all open, but we were not that lucky this trip.

Private Beach and Incredible Walks and Sunsets

The title pretty much says it all! It was the perfect girls retreat with sisters and our daughters. We spent most of our time on the beach and walking along Lake Michigan. We also visited local wineries and Leg's Restautant. Visits to the Good Hart General Store and the Tea Room were a bonus treat!

AMAZING!

We absolutely loved our stay! The accommodations were as listed and the house is adorable. We enjoyed the decorating and the windows along the waterside of the house. We will book again someday when we don't have Grandma with us! :-) The stairs were a little much for her to get back up. The beach was beautiful as it always is, and definitely our "happy place." We snorkeled and paddle boarded for hours. Thanks for the Adirondack chairs on the beach and for the comfy beds!

Relaxing beach home!

We had an incredible vacation in large part to Laura’s beautiful beach home. The location was perfect, so quiet and peaceful and right next to the water. Located on the Tunnel of Trees, and only a short scenic drive away from Harbor Springs. There is a gorgeous view from every part of the house and the sliding doors allowed a nice cool breeze to flow through the house. The kitchen is so well stocked and we cooked salmon on the grill. We saw bald eagles and found petoskey stones. Waking up, and going to sleep with the sound of the waves was so nice, it’s exactly what we needed for a relaxing beach vacation! We highly recommend!

Peaceful Place to Relax!

We had a very relaxing stay at this beautiful home! The place was very clean and comfortable and provided everything that we needed to unwind and recharge. The beach and surroundings were pristine and serene! We were able to find very good places to eat out within a 10-20 minute drive. We enjoyed this home and the location!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Kirchner

We lived in Chicago and Vieques, PR before landing in Ann Arbor, MI. Having grown up in Harbor Springs, we always wanted to have a summer home in the area. We've always loved the northwest coast of Michigan, the tunnel of trees, the sunsets, and the water. The house is a dream, and we always feel so fortunate and peaceful every time we are there. We are excited to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house the moment we set foot on the deck. The views are breathtaking and the architecture of the house takes advantage of the site perfectly. The entire water side of the house is glass and every room has glass doors that open onto the porch. It is an open and livable space, yet still manages to be cozy and comfortable. We just love it.

What makes this property unique

It is a special piece of property because it sits on a bluff very close to the water. The house has both amazing views from being perched above the beach, yet the water is still within yards of the house. The beach is pristine and beautiful. Set on a small cove, the waves break farther out and the water closer to shore is shallow and typically calm providing a great place for swimming and playing.
