Privacy and quiet await! Four bedroom\/three bath family home in Harbor Country.
About this house rental
Situated in Chikaming Township, this charming house for $425 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. We are located on the “lake” side of Red Arrow Highway on 2.5 secluded wooded acres. During the summer, walk the quick 2 blocks to the beach or ride one of the bikes we provide. The new walking/bike trail passes right at the end of the driveway! There is a bike rack in the beach parking lot. You can also drive over to the beach if you prefer. The lot is permit-parking only on the weekends; we provide the parking pass for your access. In the fall, there’s apple picking, winery tours, hiking, etc.! In the winter, cross country skiing and snow shoeing, or staying inside with a good book. This is a year-round family home that can be enjoyed all four seasons. Easy walking distance to Lake Michigan's Cherry Beach, close to Harbor Country's many shops, restaurants, bakeries, wineries and breweries. Great location for cycling, hiking, cross country skiing or just hanging out! Family friendly, our home is very private on mature wooded property so you can enjoy fun in the sun, or cozy relaxation in the cool woods. Fall colors are amazing, and when it snows, you are in a winter wonderland! Our home is a two story open concept living/dining/kitchen on the main floor. Also on the first floor is a large bedroom that sleeps 6 that has it's own entrance. Three bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. Master bedroom has its own bath. Screened porch in the front lets you enjoy the outdoors even if it's raining. Deck in the backyard is perfect for afternoon sunning. The firepit in the yard is great for roasting marshmallow for s'mores after dinner. The hammock is great for an afternoon snooze!

Lovely home. Went for annual family Thanksgiving a few miles away. Home was very nice, kitchen well stocked. Was perfect for my wife and I, two of our married children and their spouses and two of our teenagers. Would definitely stay there again.

A wonderful place for our summer reunion (we come from both coasts), and a pleasant, roomy, comfortable house for all of us (ages 12 to 85). We like the privacy of the woodsy grounds; the big, well-equipped kitchen is great for collaborative cooking; there's excellent air-conditioning in case of need; and the beach is perfect. This was our second summer there, need I say more?

Coleen & Joe's property was a great choice for our annual friends end of summer getaway. The house was as advertised, clean, spacious, functional, and private. All attending were comfortable and enjoyed their time there. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This a big, beautiful home. Great kitchen, roomy bedrooms. The best feature is the huge yard and deck, plus Cherry Beach on Lake Michigan is a 1 minute car ride away. Warren Dunes State Park is about 10 minutes away. Coleen and Joe were very responsive. Can't wait to return!

Our group of 8 spanning three generations had a great week here, and we thought the photos didn’t do the house justice. There was plenty of room for a big crew, with a pleasant outdoor deck and a big open common room for socializing. We appreciated the assortment of family games and the well-equipped kitchen, since we love to cook (ask Colleen about the hidden utensil drawer)! It’s a short drive or bike ride to lovely Cherry Beach - it’s also walkable but less pleasant. Beach sunsets are a must!

Our group consisted of four adults, and seven children and we all were able to sleep comfortably. We enjoyed taking the trail to the beach, and evenings around the fire pit. The owner had fantastic communication with me. We hope to come back again next summer! Thank you, Colleen for sharing your wonderful home.

Everything about our week was as I had hoped. No issues getting access to the house. The driveway was hard to find.
Colleen's pictures and description of the house were very accurate. We had 6 adults, and 5 children under the age of 6 in our family. And with permission from Colleen, my 86 year old mother-in-law- was able to join us for a couple of days. The house is laid out perfectly for large groups. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was in good working order. Only thing we really missed (just a bit) was a toaster, however, I didn't spend much time looking for it if it was there. The yard and the back deck were our favorite areas to spend time, with plenty of seats and room for the kids to run and play. Cherry Beach and Warren Dunes State Park were the beaches we used and not once were we disappointed. The screened in front porch was used in the evening for playing games, and although Collen said the mosquitoes might be annoying, we spent several nights around the fire without any trouble. I would recommend this property, and if it works for our family to visit again, and if Colleen will have us, we would rent this house again. Thank you, Colleen for your hospitality and kindness.

This was our second time renting this house. It's the perfect space for a large group. House was super clean and stocked with everything you would need. Communication with Coleen was amazing, always got right back to you. Our family enjoyed the fire pit almost every night. You can't go wrong by renting this property!

We had a wonderful family vacation. The house was very clean and well equipped. The back deck and yard was beautiful. This was our first time in Michigan and enjoyed the awesome beaches, breweries, and shopping in St Joseph’s. I would highly recommend this property. Coleen the owner was very responsive…. Thank you

We will be back! This location is perfect and had enough space for all of us. We loved that there were little touches, like toys for my 3 yr old and a pack in play in case we had forgotten. Even though the weather was not so great, we were able to explore Cherry beach, which was a nice, quiet change of pace from the New Buffalo beach.

What a relaxing, and enjoyable visit we had at your home. We made a few stops along the way visiting the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta, OH and then at the LaPorte County Society Historical Museum, in LaPorte, IN. We arrived late afternoon, only with a slight delay to find the specific location, but we blame that on our GPS missing the turn. Once we located the driveway which is slightly hidden by the trees, it was easy from there. The house and large yard, were just as we pictured. Even though the weather was a bit cool, we were warmed by the welcoming environment of your home. Everything was bright and clean as we walked through the house. The grandchildren couldn't wait to explore and pick out their rooms for the weekend! The open concept was perfect for meals in the kitchen as our grand kids enjoyed their breakfasts of scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes at the large breakfast bar. In the evenings we all enjoyed games played in the living room area. And on Sunday afternoon, what an great time our family had at a beach we discovered in St. Joseph with playground, beach amenities, and splash pad for the grand kids. A few of the adults also took quiet walks along Cherry Beach, which was very close to the house. Sunday evening we cooked out with the provided grill and played corn hole and tossed frisbee. Thank you Coleen for such an wonderful weekend! We would recommend your home to anyone looking for a time to bond with and reconnect with family.

House was as expected. Cleaned and spacious for my whole family.

Very nice home with everything we needed from kitchen supplies to beach towels to games. Cherry Beach is described as a 10 minute walk away, but part of the walk is along busy Red Arrow Highway so we opted to drive. It’s a great beach for swimming. Warren Dunes State Park was only ten minutes’ drive and worth the $9 entry fee - lots of fun waves, dunes for climbing, concessions and new bathrooms. Thanks, Coleen for sharing your vacay home!

So...imagine you arrive with your family of adult children and grandchildren, drive down the long driveway into a secluded grove of trees and find the house just as pictured on VRBO. Open the door to beautiful, light-filled, sparkling clean home with a large dining room space and an open kitchen that I swear 4 people can cook in at the same time while someone else is at the sink doing dishes. The countertop wraps around two sides of the kitchen and is accessible from both sides with stools for perching and chatting with the chefs and sous chefs. And it's not huge--just perfectly designed. Then imagine seeing the living room space on the other side of the kitchen--yes kinda small, but with those countertop stools for additional seating and tons of windows and opening onto a side porch with an overarching trellis covered with leafy vines and sparkling little lights. The porch wraps around to a full deck across the back of the house, lots of chairs, table with umbrella for shade, and, yes, this is where you will spend a lot of time...especially at night with the outdoor sound system, and of course with your morning coffee. There was plenty of deck space for all 10 of us plus babies and toddler. The view from the deck is a large, private back yard...perfect for yard games.. and the deep woods that surround it. And of course a fire pit with a picnic table. Bedrooms were perfect, bunk room much appreciated by the singles in our family, bathrooms again perfect and get this...stocked with 26 bath towels, plus washcloths and hand towels and 13 beach towels. My husband counted! Oh, that's not all---in the closets you'll find a treasure trove of traditional family games, in the kitchen everything you'll need including a huge collection of spices, pots, pans, utensils, plates, bowls, mugs, and in the outdoor shed beach and yard toys, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, croquet!, etc. In other words, we didn't need to bring anything but our bathing suits and clothes! What a gift!! The only thing we missed was a little apartment-sized washer and dryer to help with the little kids' clothes, but we hand-washed and took advantage of the very substantial clothes line. The beach itself is gorgeous and Lake Michigan was warm and wonderful. We are grateful for Coleen's attention to everything a family vacation needs to make it a truly stress-free week....Pam and Michael
