Look for the sign that says Lighthouse Bluffs. That is your turn. A private driveway runs back through mature pines onto more than two acres on the bluffs of Lake Michigan. No shared lot. No hotel corridor. Trees, sky, and then the water.

The house faces east. From nearly every window you get Lake Michigan, the Kewaunee lighthouse, and the harbor. Sunrises land on this side of the state. Coffee in the kitchen, mug on the deck, lake already doing the work.

Guests say the same things in the reviews — and then they come back. This listing is a Guest Favorite for a reason. People write about the views, the pool, how stocked and thought-through the house is. Families and friend groups rebook year after year. It is not a one-weekend rental they forget. It is the place they put on the calendar again.

This is a fully renovated home — more than 3,400 square feet — rebuilt to feel new: furniture, granite, windows, siding, doors, built-ins. It sleeps a large group without turning into one loud room.

Main floor is where the day starts. Open living with new furniture and custom cabinets, flowing into the family room and kitchen. Stocked coffee bar (Keurig Duo, K-cups, grounds, grinder). Dining room with built-in storage. A king bedroom on this level and a half bath off the living room, so someone can sleep near the action. Expanded mudroom/laundry with a built-in ice maker that puts out about 50 pounds a day.

Upstairs is the quiet stack: four king bedrooms. The master has a private ensuite — tile walk-in shower and a soaking tub. The second full bath has a new tile shower and heated floors.

Lower level is the hangout wing. Bunk room with five twin bunks, a full bath, a living area with a 75" TV and Sonos, and a multicade arcade nook. Kids disappear here. Adults do too, after the fire.

Outside is the reason people book a week.
Backyard: large composite deck over a private heated inground pool with a new epoxy surround. The patio is fenced. Polywood dining for eight, cushioned chaise loungers, a small bistro, a kid picnic table. Hard-piped propane firepit with six swivel chairs. Hard-piped four-burner Weber with a prep table — no tank swap. Pool toys and floats are on site.

A few steps toward the bluff: a permanent wood-burning firepit, eight Adirondack chairs, firewood included (we buy it by the cord). Front of the house: four more Adirondacks looking over the yard, a multi-tier kids’ playset, and an in-ground adjustable basketball hoop.

The finished garage is part of the stay — epoxy floor, TVs, and the outdoor games: cornhole, ping pong, washer toss, bocce, balls, the pile you do not want to haul from home.

Kewaunee is minutes down the road. Marina, lighthouse, public parks, sand beaches. Father Marquette Memorial Park is about a 10-minute walk — playground and beach access. Harbor Point is next to the marina. Selner Park is the bigger beachfront park a short drive south. Algoma is about 10 minutes. Door County is about 25–30 minutes when you want the peninsula and still want to sleep on this bluff. Pets are welcome.

Pool season typically runs late May through mid-October, weather allowing. While it is open the heater is set around 86°F; close the solar cover when you are not in it. Board games and cards are in the house.

You enter through the garage with a 4-digit code sent 24–48 hours before arrival. Message us before or during the stay — questions, early timing when we can swing it, or a larger gathering. This property has the land for a group. It also has the quiet that brings people back.

Full house, full yard, full bluff. Mornings on the lake. Afternoons in the pool. Nights at the fire. That is why they rebook.
