The Lake House Oasis feels like a true slice of heaven. Nestled between the trees, facing Lake Michigan lies a newly built (2017) lake house. Not to be easily seen from the road, you are greeted with a wide, gravel/dirt driveway. Walking up the short stairway to the beautiful carved glass entrance of the lake house, you'll open the door to a captivating entryway with marble floors. The kitchen (well water) is just to the left, filled with all your basic necessities. Newer appliances: refrigerator, electric stove, dishwasher, coffee maker and even a precision induction cook top Plates, cups, bowls, pots/pans and silverware are all fresh and ready to make your family vacation as easy and comfortable as possible. The Lake House Oasis has plenty of counter-top space, while looking out at beautiful Lake Michigan.

Meander into the dining room with the wooden table for 6 of the people dear to you to enjoy a meal together overlooking Lake Michigan. The gorgeous wood floors compliment the wooden table perfectly. So that the whole family can eat together, the counter doubles as an eating bar with the 4 bar stools facing the kitchen. Keeping the chef company is always appreciated.

Next to the dining room, you'll find the cozy high-top table with 4 chairs. Perfect for your breakfast coffee or evening cocktail. The wet bar in this nook between the dining and living rooms is a wonderful compliment to the space. There are various drinking glasses from margarita, martini and the classic wine glasses.

Moving through the wet bar/ breakfast nook, you never stop overlooking Lake Michigan! The living room has has a comfortable couch with a chaise lounger on one side, There is a fireplace and TV with Directv, as well as a Blu-ray DVD player to enjoy your time relaxing, when you aren't at the peaceful Lake Michigan sandy beach.

Off the main floor living room, you'll find a convenient bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. There is an electric fireplace for you to enjoy as well!

Your outside patio dining and relaxing is available from 3 different exits off the main level. The options are endless. There is even a stairwell down to the beach from the main floor outdoor patio setting.

Heading up stairs, you'll find 2 bedrooms with a bathroom in the middle. All rooms have ceiling fans. Air Conditioning has not been needed at Lake House Oasis with the beautiful cross-breeze. The bedrooms both have ideal views of Lake Michigan. Both bedrooms, have a queen bed, closet and dresser. The bathroom in the middle of the upper level has a tub/shower, toilet and sink with a large mirror. Bath towels and basic linens are provided.

In the ground level, you will find the easiest access the Lake Michigan. There you will find a fun game room with a sitting area, Playstation (bring your own games), TV and Blu-Ray DVD player. WiFi is present throughout this lake house.

Two (2) bedrooms also call the ground floor home, with an ideal older kids room with 2 sets of bunk beds and a queen bedroom on opposite sides of the bathroom/laundry room. The ground floor bathroom is located between the 2 bedrooms, just off the game room area. In the older kids room, one set of bunk beds has a full bed on the bottom and a twin on top. The other bunk bed has 2 twin beds. Both have direct entry to the walkway down to the beach. **This room is not advisable for curious young children sleeping alone.**

The ground floor bathroom also doubles as a laundry room with a shower, toilet, sink and washer/dryer. There is nothing like a warm towel waiting for you when you hop out of the shower. The beach theme is fun in this room.

On the ground floor patio, there is the large propane grill, kayaks for adult use. (Please use extreme caution when kayaking on Lake Michigan.) Also, there is a patio setting for 6 people at the ground level. You are never without space to get caught up with family, friends and all the goodness life has to offer at the Lake Shore Oasis.

Take the walkway to the beach to enjoy your time together at the Lake House Oasis. Relax and soak in this luxurious beach house experience.

As an extra layer of security, we do have video cameras in the back and front of the cottage. There are no cameras inside the cottage.

PLEASE be aware that this property does not have a fenced in yard so you will need to have your dog on a leash while outside. There are neighbors (even if you can't see them) that have dogs as well, so for your pets safety and the neighbors please make sure your dog is leashed.

Great beach but needs a deep clean
The location, size, and layout of the house was great for our family trip. We loved how easy it was to enjoy the beach. The views from the upper floors are amazing. The house needs to be deep cleaned. We discussed it with the management and they said it wasn’t up to their standards so I hope they will correct in the future but we had to deal with it all week. The towels smelled very mildewy which I assume is because the washing machine was smelly. It needs some attention. The couch smelled so we hardly wanted to sit in it there was food stuck to some cushions which we cleaned off. Several screens were broken/missing so couldn’t open those windows without bugs coming in (a bummer when that is the way to cool the room).
