Just a 90 minute drive from Chicago and you and your family or friends will have arrived to a place not just on the other side of the Great Lake but a world away from what you encounter every day. In Lakeside Michigan, you are in a small town that is part of family of beach town communities known as Harbor Country. New Buffalo, Union Pier and Grand Beach are among the neighboring towns. While frequented for decades by Chicagoans who both vacation here and own second homes, thousands from all over the Midwest and other parts of the country make this area part of their summer every year. Yet when you are in Lakeside, you would never know that others travel many miles to come here too. Now, you too can partake in the laid back beach town experience when you stay a summer week at the Beach House at Lakeside, Michigan.

It is the main attraction of this vacation destination. And on a day when you need a break from the sun and the waves, you can still enjoy a refreshing swim in a heated pool or pedal a bike along the miles of trails that meander through the neighboring towns, forests, farmlands and wine country. With outdoor patios in the front garden, and back yard, you also have ample seating around the pool for sunbathing or having lunch. At meal time, you have many options to explore. In addition to grilling on the Weber, you will discover the areas many first rate restaurants, a famous burger joint, ice cream shops and cafes. When you seek some variety, there are the many antique shops along Red Arrow Highway, Golf courses, Fruit picking, art galleries, shopping, the Warren Dunes State park and even a first class Casino in nearby New Buffalo. When the summer season winds down, the fun continues. With the Fall Season, the area becomes flush with color and beauty.

Despite the frigid cold we enjoyed our stay in cabin A. It was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Frank was great: when there was the chance we would have to cancel due to the weather, he suggested a change of plans and accommodated us.

Loved Lake Michigan but challenging to get there from property and was misleading in presentation.

Overall we had a wonderful week at the cottages! Wonderful quiet neighborhood setting, fully equipped homes with all you could need in kitchen, etc and the beach is stunning and super close!
We had a minor issue with pool cleanliness when we arrived but the owner took care of it as soon as possible. Given the lake setting and amount of moisture, sand, etc the places are clean but our group felt some upholstered furniture needs updating. Both dishwashers gave off a bad smell when used and indicated need of deep cleaning or plumbing issues.
Again, lovely place to visit and we loved the beach access and space—we might be overly picky, just though some deep cleaning and updates would make it perfect!

We were really dedicated to hosting our families in a shared, yet private space, and we were not disappointed. From walks on the beach to dinners in town, this place has it all.
The houses are comfortable and inviting with all amenities, and our host was kind and thoughtful in our communications.
Renting two properties is no small amount of money, so we were apprehensive, but quickly found out there was no reason to be. We found an incredible experience and great owners, we can't wait to go back.

This place was great for a weekend getaway with family. You were able to walk few minutes to the lake and it was private which was amazing. The property was very clean, and you could tell it had a lot of work done to stay looking new. Definitely would stay again.

Thanks for providing a perfect place for us to have some family time. Property was clean and stocked with all the basic supplies we needed. The neighborhood was close to Lake Michigan and easy to see a sunset or take a morning walk. Thanks for your quick responses to any questions we had. We will recommend the house to other people wanting to visit the area.

We only stayed for 2 days for a quick getaway, but the place was great. We had 3 medium size dogs and there was ample amount of room for them. The walk to the beach was super convenient and the hot tub made the stay enjoyable. My only con was the back door had a ton of leaves surrounding the entrance which made it hard not to track in outdoor debris per the house rules.
Other than that I would definitely stay again in the future. Hopefully during the summer when the pool is open :)

We really enjoyed our February stay here! The area is just gorgeous in winter time! Frank was easy to communicate with, and getting to and in the house was really easy — just make sure to follow his directions! The house is really clean and spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked, the shower had hot water for post snow activities, we loved the wood-burning fireplace (bring wood!), we slept really well and just were so thankful for the nice hot tub! It felt so good after long cold walks. The house manual is really helpful — make sure to check it out as it answers lots of questions! The beach is just right across the street and down some stairs. It is so nice to be able to just pop over. The waves were frozen, and it was just gorgeous! We loved walking to coffee or drinks in union pier — the location is just awesome! We hope to return to Frank’s place some time soon! A lovely stay!

Not steps away from the beach
The road leading to the house is essentially a dirt road filled with potholes. The beach is no "steps away" but 3/4 of a mile to the entrance. The hot tub had to be shared with the family in the other cottage which actually isn't another cottage but one house split in two. The hot tub water needs to be changed. The water was not good, which we didn't realize until we got in. Then the other family was annoyed at us for getting in the hot tub at 9pm, I believe their children were sleeping. We got out before 10pm but I can imagine making noise outside while their kids are sleeping is problematic. The house had some items were in disrepair, the front yard is weeds with a house being built across the street. The cost is excessive given the location. We could have stayed in a hotel on the lake for that amount. Given that the house wasn't in the greatest condition the list of rules and instructions was also excessive. I would not return to this property.

Enjoyed a nice weekend in cottage B with my husband and dog. The highlight for us was the hot tub- it was very relaxing during the winter time! The cottage is very close to the beach so this would be a great place to stay during the summer.

Would not recommend
The house itself is a fine cottage getaway. It was good for a family weekend. Due to the amount of rules/regulations I felt it was hard to enjoy the weekend without thinking I was going to break a rule/get a charge. He accepts pets but they can’t go to the bathroom on the property, which I believe it’s a dirt road in the summer, so I’m not sure where they are to go. I was a little thrown off by the amount of times I had received email/texts from the owner. He wanted to know when we were arriving which check in was at 4 so I didn’t think it needed to be addressed when we would arrive. He also texted me twice during my stay to ask how things were going and also to remind me what to do when I check out. There is a ring camera pointing directly at the hot tub which I found unsettling. Overall my weekend with my family was great, I just wish I wouldn’t have been interrupted to make sure I was following the rules.

Lovely area and very close to the beach
Wonderful home and close to the beach. It was much larger than we imagined. We stayed mostly on the first floor and really enjoyed the kitchen. It was a nice couple of nights and plan to return with our children in the summer. Thank you Frank!

6 friends stayed in cottage B over a weekend. Frank was very communicative and willing to troubleshoot problems with us. His rentals are clean and we appreciate the fully stocked kitchen. We weren’t able to use the hot tub during our stay but Frank was willing to negotiate a refund for the inconvenience. Frank puts together a long and detailed information booklet for his guests. I appreciate the care he puts into his rentals.

Hardly a cabin in the woods, this property is a fully- functioning and beautifully appointed home. Spacious yet cozy, filled with light, high end finishes -- everything you could want in a location that's close to beach/ lake as well as all the area has to offer (hiking, biking, great food, wineries, breweries, etc.) Very highly recommended.

Wonderful Vacation
Our family decided to take a family vacation this year and this home offered everything we needed. The Home and Pool were clean and have plenty of room and everything that is needed. The private beach area is small but clean and the kids enjoyed the sand and water. It was wonderful waking up to beautiful deer in our front yard and a pool to sit by when the beach was crowded. I would highly recommend this home.

Girls Weekend
Cute, well-maintained house with plenty of room for the four of us. Kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, utensils, plates, cups, etc. Hot tub was perfect for a chilly night. Shower stayed hot (even with four of us preparing for the day) with good water pressure; ample towels and washcloths. The neighborhood was quiet and we could hear the waves from Lake Michigan while sitting on the front porch. We especially appreciated the detailed instructions with pictures. Frank answered questions promptly during the booking process and touched base again immediately prior to check-in with updates. Cell reception (Verizon) for phone calls was fair at best but we expected that based on the listing information. No problem with sending/receiving texts. We had a great weekend!

No phone service
Everything was pretty much as expected, except that a day or two before we left we were told most cell service didn’t work except maybe in the front yard...didn’t work there either. We’re told AT&T did work. It didn’t. Two land line phones in the beach houses didn’t work either. We had to rely on texting which had a delay. Since I was trying to keep an eye on my elderly parents and terminally ill brother-in-law, this was horrible. Then I received a text that our home alarm was going off. I can’t even explain how difficult this was trying to deal with by text. All good aspects of the trip were overshadowed.
