The Beach House at Lakeside, Michigan has been a popular vacation Rental for hundreds of Families for over 30 years. 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.

At the beach House, you have a choice of renting one or two fully furnished units. Each unit will comfortably accommodate up to 10 people and has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and Sunroom.

After you have arrived and settled in, you will no doubt take the short 200 yard walk to the private beach to witness to one of the most impressive sunsets found anywhere on the planet. 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. After the pool gets closed for another year, we open our outdoor hot tub for our fall and Winter Guests. Some of you might come for a girls Only weekend or cheer on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in nearby South Bend.

Regardless of whether you come for a summer week, or a Spring, Fall or Winter Weekend, you will leave having just experienced some unforgettable memories along the shores of Lake Michigan when you’ve stayed at the Beach House at Lakeside.

Wonderful experience
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.

Lovely winter getaway
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.

Great location for family getaway!
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!
