Other Things to Note: For environmental protection and minimal erosion this home utilizes a Dutch sand ladder system for beach access down to the private beach area along Lake Michigan. This is seasonal and unavailable from September through May. Between November 2019 and March 2020, unusually high Lake Michigan levels caused significant bluff erosion making the bluff particularly steep and unsafe. Since it can take up to 5 years for the bluff to stabilize enough for new stairs to be installed, a temporary solution similar to a rope ladder is being used. Currently, the bluff is approximately 70 feet high with an average grade of 50 degrees, so the ladder may not be suitable for all guests. This is a historical 1800's home with many original features. This home is charming and unique but may differ from modern day builds and standards. Immerse yourself in the best of Michigan's lakeshore at this Upscale Lakeshore vacation home.

Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved this property! The historic home had great personality and decor. It felt very spacious. The kitchen is large and well-appointed. The back porch is fantastic! We spent lots of time there watching amazing sunsets, drinking morning coffee, and playing cards. South Haven, Douglas, and Saugatuck are all nearby, all with great restaurants, shops, beaches, etc. While the beach access presented a physical challenge for some in our party, we all ended up really appreciating the Dutch sand ladder and enjoyed the adventure (and the workout!). Checkin and checkout were both smooth and seamless with great communication and responsiveness. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next stay! ##### Katie T.
