The Gatehouse on Orchard Beach



The Space:

With a gorgeous top-to-bottom renovation that was completed in 2020 and sporting new updates for 2023, this lakefront cottage in the heart of historic Lakeside is truly one of a kind. This modern home is situated on a mid-size bluff above Orchard Beach, a wide, 80-foot stretch of sand that's shared by association members only at the north end of a long, walkable beach on a natural cove of Lake Michigan. Enjoy access to a private beach cabana, with easy access to chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys to make your excursions on the shores truly memorable. This contemporary home is full of style and natural light, offering new appliances and fixtures throughout, an open and airy great room, and a fully equipped kitchen with an extra-large island and stainless steel appliances - all of which contribute to the authentic, beach-house ambience. Come home from the lakeshore each afternoon to rinse off the sand in the refreshing outdoor shower, get the gas grill going on the raised deck, or simply play with your kids in the spacious yard. Leave your swimsuits to spin in the private washer/dryer, and spend the evening hours telling stories in the warmth of the firepit outside. THINGS TO KNOW There are 60 stairs leading down to the beach. An outdoor shower is available. Four beach chairs are provided. Board games and a yard bag game are provided.
