Designed for discerning travelers seeking serenity, privacy, and effortless elegance. This is where families come to reconnect, reset, and recharge.

The Setting
Tucked away on an acre of lush landscape, this secluded hideaway feels worlds apart, yet is just a short drive from South Haven or St. Joseph for charming day trips, lakeside dining, and local shopping. From sunrise coffee on the deck to sunset strolls on the beach, this home is a front-row seat to Michigan’s best.

Interior Experience
Step inside to discover bright, open spaces with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that draw the outside in. The main living area offers plush seating around a beautiful stone fireplace — the perfect spot to gather after lake days or game nights. The chef’s kitchen is equally inviting, featuring premium appliances, granite counters, and ample seating for group meals.

Bedrooms are thoughtfully placed across all three levels to offer privacy and rest. The upper-floor primary suite features lake views and a spa-inspired en suite. Kids and teens will love the upper-level bunk room, while additional king and queen bedrooms provide comfort for every guest.

Outdoor Living
Your backyard? A private stretch of Lake Michigan beach, just a short stroll down the bluff. Whether you're building sandcastles or jumping in the waves, the beach is yours alone. Back at the house, multiple decks and seating areas give you the option to dine al fresco, enjoy cocktails at sunset, or simply listen to the waves from your hammock.

Why Guests Love It
Blue Horizon Lakeside is made for multi-family trips, retreats, or extended getaways where luxury meets laid-back. It’s private, peaceful, and packed with thoughtful touches. You'll just love the cozy fireplaces and all-season porch made for late-night laughs and board games.

Welcome to Lake Michigan! Time to relax, enjoy, and let your time away begin!

As your host, it’s our goal to make your stay as comfortable as it can possibly be.

Our mission is to help our guests create beautiful memories in our cozy home.
For an optimal experience for us both, we’ve spelled out some house rules. Thank you in advance. We truly appreciate you staying with us.

No bachelor or bachelorette parties at the property.

We have a strict No pets policy, including emotional support animals. No pets are permitted inside or outside the premises at any time.
Please make alternate arrangements for your pet.

Always use coasters which are located throughout the house on the main level. Most often they are located on table tops.

Steep drop-offs from deck area. Please be cautious on and around outdoor decks. Child supervision required. Deck areas are to be used at your own risk.

No smoking is permitted in or near the house. This includes e-cigarettes, vape devices, marijuana, and traditional tobacco products.

Each bathroom has a vented fan. Please turn on the vent fan each time you bathe or shower.

Do not sit on upholstered fabric with wet bathing suits, clothing, or sandy feet. Sunscreen stains and damages upholstered surfaces. Wet towels and bathing suits should be hung up to dry or put in the dryer. Bathrooms have hooks for hanging towels or they can be dried over the tub/shower areas.

Suitcases should be carried up or down stairs. Roller wheels and dragged bags easily scratch wood floors or pull on the carpet.

This home has a well and septic system so we use 1-ply toilet paper to minimize clogging risk. In addition, only the toilet paper and human waste should be flushed. Each bathroom has a garbage can to dispose of feminine hygiene products, baby or makeup wipes, and bladder control pads or similar items. Diapers should be disposed of in the garbage. Do not flush anything like this down the toilet or there will be a clog for sure!

Please do not clean the stove or oven. If a spill occurs, use a damp paper towel to wipe the surface area. If the stove-top grates must be removed, please move and replace them carefully.

The kitchen counters are marble. The countertops are porous and they can stain or scratch easily. Acidic foods will also negatively impact marble very quickly. Please wipe food and drink spills as quickly as possible with a mild dish detergent and warm water using a soft cloth. Do not scrub with sponges. *Never use vinegar, glass cleaners with ammonia, or any harsh cleaner.

With the exception of birthday candles, do not use or burn any type of open flame candles. The candles located on the main floor are battery operated.

Please stay on pathways and use stairs and when seeking outdoor spaces. The sea boulders and vegetated bluff areas are not to be sat or walked on. The bluff area is fragile and important to maintain its growth and development to protect from erosion.

Turn off the outdoor grill when you're finished grilling and the fire pit when you finish by returning its solid lid cover after the flame has been extinguished and cooled.

Outdoor cushions on all decks upstairs and main level: Blue cushions and should be placed under the eaves outside and adjacent to the windows on the main level facing Lake Michigan. White cushions should be brought inside and placed in the hallway between the exterior door and the bunk bedroom. Portable beach chairs are also available for your use. Return folded beach chairs by placing them under the eves on the main level or under the sunroom on the North side storage room.

Beach fires are not permitted for safety reasons. And our beach area is a shared space with our neighbors. There is a **public beach not far away. Michigan law is clear - a homeowner's beach extends to the water's edge. This section is protected for beach walkers. People are permitted to walk at or near the edge of the water. They are not permitted to bring their belongings and set up for the day on our shared beach. The public beach has signage at the edge of the public access delineating the beginning of private property. Guests are solely responsible for insuring their own property against loss from fire, theft, or damage. Owner is not responsible in any way.

You can enjoy walking the beach in either direction. Please be respectful of other people's property by staying near the water's edge. Seeking rocks and shells is a popular activity for many people.

We have not had problems with theft yet encourage you to lock your vehicle and door to the house. When at the beach, cell phones, portable speakers, tablets, hand held games, or other valuables should not be left unattended when walking on the beach, or taking a break for a snack or meal.

When leaving the house at the end of your stay, please turn off any lights and fans including ceiling fans. Please turn the thermostat to 80 degrees. Ensure all doors are locked when exiting the house.

All Garbage from kitchen and bathrooms should be disposed of in the garbage cans located outside the house near to the parking area.

Please note, wooded and grassy areas may contain poison ivy and ticks. Stay on paths for your own safety.

Guests agree to act at all times in a manner within the laws of local, state, and national authorities. Any failure to do so will result in immediate eviction and termination of this Agreement without refund.
