If you're seeking a quiet, tranquil, and serene getaway overlooking the beauty of Lake Michigan, look no further – Great Lakes Escape is the perfect destination. This Prairie Style Ranch with an open floor plan comfortably hosts up to 12 guests. The calming and relaxing ambiance of this home will soothe your soul and bring joy to your heart. Located at the end of a low-traffic road, you'll leave behind the noise of city life and instead enjoy the sounds of seagulls and children’s laughter by the shore and surf.
Perfectly located, facing the lake and nestled between South Haven, Saugatuck, and Douglas—three beautiful and charming cities ideal for day trips—Great Lakes Escape offers a unique experience. Just north of the property is Glenn, MI, home to The Glenn Store, a quaint convenience store with an impressive selection of wine and spirits. The Glenn Store also boasts one of the best delis along Blue Star Highway, famous for its pizza. South Haven is an active beach city with a charming lighthouse, a popular backdrop for photographers. Saugatuck and Douglas are two communities that celebrate fine arts and culinary delights.
Great Lakes Escape will also entice you and your loved ones to simply stay and enjoy the property. The beauty is captivating as you sit on the deck, gazing at the horizon over the lake. The meditative effect will calm you, making the hours pass like seconds as you become engrossed in thought. The bluff overlooking the lake is an ideal spot for practicing yoga, Tai Chi, or simply reading a book. The sunsets here are breathtaking, leaving you yearning to return long after you've left.
The large windows allow the stunning blues and greens of the lake to fill the house with natural beauty. In the evening, the sunset casts warm colors through the windows, creating an almost existential moment as you stand and let the dying rays wash over you. For the ultimate in relaxation and tranquility, try sitting in the hot tub while watching the sun set and the stars emerge in the night sky. Being away from the big developments and coastal cities means lower light pollution, letting you see the universe in all its splendor.
The kitchen boasts ample counter space, making it perfect for preparing meals for large gatherings. Whether you're whipping up a family feast or a holiday spread, you'll have all the room you need to cook with ease. The dining room table is equally accommodating, designed to comfortably seat everyone, ensuring that your meals are enjoyed together in one inviting space. From breakfast buffets to dinner parties, this kitchen and dining area is ideal for bringing people together over delicious food and great conversation.
The bedrooms are warm and inviting, offering plenty of space for everyone to spread out, even in the shared rooms. Each bed, from the luxurious King down to the cozy trundle, is designed to embrace you at night, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Soft cotton sheets and deep, firm pillows enhance your comfort, creating an ideal environment for relaxation. Whether you're retreating to the privacy of a master suite or sharing a room with family, the thoughtful design and plush bedding promise a rejuvenating sleep experience for all.
The lower level of this house is designed for activity and family time, delicately contrasting with the quiet charm of the upper level. The Ping Pong Table is a great spot for Gen X’ers to teach their children, nieces, and nephews the art of table tennis. Remember the thrill of slicing a spin on the ball, making your serve nearly impossible to return? Now’s your chance to dust off those skills and have some fun! You'll also find a selection of family games in the TV room area downstairs. If you're looking for new games, South Haven offers great options like Harbor Toy Company and Hideaway Gaming.
For the Gen X’ers (and their children and grandchildren too), Rocket Arcade is a must-visit. It features all your favorite arcade games from the '80s and an impressive assortment of pinball machines. So, grab your sweatbands and cinnamon toothpicks, and get ready to relive the glory days with some Asteroids action!
The lower level fireplace sets the perfect mood for late-night gaming, movie marathons, or simply sharing stories with grandchildren and friends. An amazing telescope down there lets you gaze at stars and planets, creating unforgettable moments with loved ones. Sharing the universe with a child (at any age) is a special experience they’ll remember forever. Like all the shared stories and moments on your vacation, Great Lakes Escape will become a treasured memory and hopefully a new family tradition. Come and make memories that will last a lifetime!

Great Lakes Escape Surreal Lakeview Getaway Private Beach Access Hot Tub The online photos give the impression of a much newer and up-to-date home then what it actually is. The location is fantastic and so was the view. We enjoyed the deck and the bonfire very much. However, it took us about 3 1/2 hours of heavy cleaning to get it ready for the rest of our family. There were cobwebs and spiders throughout and a very musty smell throughout as well, especially in the basement. Major dust under the beds. Also, the home is listed as no pets yet we found dog hair on some of the blankets and there are doggy cover pads on the sofa. It's a beautiful property that just needs and deserves a lot more TLC.
