About this house rental

Why not enjoy a week of peace and tranquility on 50-acres of woods and Dunes in Michigan? Bring your kids, your dogs or just come by yourself!

You will be hard pressed to find another property for rent like this one anywhere in the Midwest. You'll be sitting back on 50-acres of woods on the dunes overlooking a beautiful valley. In fact, you'll be surrounded by several hundred acres of woods as the adjacent properties are also un-inhabited forest. At the same time, you'll feel the lake breeze (Lake Michigan is only 3/4 of a mile away) and you'll be on a beautiful public beach in a 5-minute drive. Bring your dogs! You will also be close to tons of summer time activities within 30 minutes drive: golf (nearest course 1 mile away), hiking, horse-back riding, mini-golf, go-karting, dune rides/dune buggies, tubing, fishing, fruit-picking, amusement/waterparks (Michigan's adventure), summer festivals, and petting zoos.

Just 3.5 hours drive from Chicago, 1h15mins from Grand Rapids in Shelby, MI.
You'll enter the property on a 1/4 mile driveway that winds through the woods - go slowly because at dusk you'll often see large groups of deer that frequent the area due to the many fruit orchards (including our neighboring cherry orchard). When you get to the end of the dirt drive you will find the house secluded on over 50 acres of woods and dunes. In fact, since all of the neighboring properties are also un-inhabited forest, you'll be sitting in the middle of several hundred acres of woods.

The house sits on about 1-acre of open field which at the tip drops down into a valley. Our overlook point is one of the highest spots in the immediate area, so you will have a view overlooking the forest for as far as the eye can see. We've got a fire pit set up on the point, and you can sit here in the woods and still feel the Lake Michigan breeze (which is 3/4 mile to the East).

There are walking trails throughout the property and you can take a nice stroll through the woods. In addition to deer, you will see wild turkey, porcupines, squirrels, frogs, hawks, and lots of other birds. We've got a healthy colony of hummingbirds that appear at our feeder around July.

We have stayed here numerous times with our dog. It's stocked with towels and bedding with extra pillows. Kitchen has both large Keurig and small pod Keurig machines.Great to sit on second floor porch and listen to the birds and wind blowing through the trees.It's relaxing and very peaceful when you need a respite from the world.

This was an incredibly refreshing and relaxing stay. Pet friendly with a kennel area and plenty of room to play. All you need to bring is you, your clothes pets and food. I didn’t want to leave! This place was absolutely beautiful.

This listing was absolutely phenomenal. The property grounds were very well kept and stocked with everything you might need for a fun stay. The garage was equipped with yard games and activities, a foosball table, and a ping pong table. The lookout was even better in person and the perfect spot for a fire. We brought a dog, and she loved the space. If you’re nervous about your animal being off leash, there is a fenced in area for your pet along with some toys. The first and second floors had a full kitchen, dining and living area, bathroom, and laundry room. The balcony on the second floor was spacious and came with outside furniture while the downstairs porch also had some chairs and a table.The hosts were incredibly accommodating and on top of communication. They responded in a timely manner and passed along really helpful information that helped make the stay that much more enjoyable. Truly a wonderful experience!

Great secluded home with plenty of trails and hiking space We went to go exploring the woods with our dogs and everyone was super happy. Great nature preserve within walking distance and close enough to some cute small towns.
