Come for the golden west-facing sunsets. Stay for slow mornings with coffee overlooking the lake, afternoons spent barefoot on your private beach, shared meals around the table, and evenings gathered around a crackling beach bonfire beneath a sky full of stars.

Nestled in a secluded forest just minutes from Harbor Springs, The Tree House sits on 168 feet of private Lake Michigan shoreline, offering a peaceful Northern Michigan escape for families and friends. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, gathering multiple generations together, or simply looking to unplug, this is a place where unforgettable memories come naturally.

Your Week at The Tree House

Wake to the gentle sound of waves and enjoy coffee on the deck as the lake comes to life. Spend your days swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan, kayaking along the shoreline, hunting for Petoskey stones, reading in the shade, or exploring nearby Harbor Springs and the iconic Tunnel of Trees.

As evening approaches, gather for dinner overlooking the water before watching the sun sink into Lake Michigan. End the day around a beach bonfire, sharing stories under a canopy of stars while the waves roll gently onto shore.

Designed for Gathering

The Tree House comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, making it ideal for multi-generational family vacations, couples traveling together, or close friends looking to reconnect. Inside, light-filled living spaces offer a warm, inviting place to gather, while the beach becomes an extension of your backyard.

The well-appointed kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to prepare everything from leisurely breakfasts to fresh-caught fish dinners and memorable family feasts. Whether you're sharing coffee at sunrise, packing a picnic for the beach, or lingering over dinner as the sun sets over Lake Michigan, it's a space designed to bring everyone together.
