About this property

"New" Lake Michigan R & R Recently Completed Major Rehab

Major Rehab, Improvements and Additions of entire property! Fully rehabbed high-end kitchen with 2 new refrigerators, 2 new dishwashers, and new premium 6 burner/double oven range, and new multipurpose microwave/oven. All new cabinets and new countertops. We've also completely restored the beautiful original floors and installed brand new wood flooring in other areas. The entire exterior and interior of the Inn have been professionally painted for the 2022 season. We've invested in brand new furniture in all common areas and around the pool deck, and recently installed deluxe fire pit complete with new Adirondack chairs for your campfire fun. To complete the massive improvements, we've replaced plates, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, as well as new sheets, quilts, blankets and towels. We've also added 3 new large screen televisions, enhanced WiFi, and upgraded charging stations in each room.

Whether you have 12 or 28 in your group, Lake Michigan R & R will work perfectly for your needs.

We also have 6 common area rooms that each have seating for 6 -16 people. The Pool Deck also has seating for over 24, and the Fire Pit seats 12. Need lots of room for food and drink storage, food preparation and clean up? The brand new cook's kitchen with two brand new dishwashers and two brand new refrigerators and an extra large double oven with 6 burners will easily cater to the dining and entertaining needs of your group.

Spacious and comfortable for 8 families
We had a large group (8 families, including kids 3-10 years old). As our families have grown, it is increasingly hard to find a place where everyone has their own bed. This fit the bill! There was also plenty of space in the common areas -- 30+ seats for indoor and outdoor dining, two separate living rooms, a huge fire pit, and plenty of dishes to feed a crowd. Although I wouldn't say it was luxurious, everything was comfortable, clean, and exactly as pictured in the listing. The host, Ted, was friendly and helpful. He greeted us in person to show us around, provided great advice on local spots, and left a nice welcome basket. When we had an issue with the house, he responded within an hour and came out to check on things. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is that one of the basements smelled horrible -- very musty. We also had issues with water leaking in two different spots when people showered. The first time I thought maybe we had let too much water escape the shower curtain, but the second time we clearly didn't let any water get onto the floor. One of the leaks was into the musty basement, so I suspect it may have been happening for a while unnoticed. Ted was responsive, but it was a big enough plumbing problem that he couldn't resolve it during our stay. It was still a generally positive experience and we'd rent again if the leaks/smell are addressed. Kitchen was missing coffee filters, aluminum foil, & a whisk. Future renters may way want to BYO

First impressions count.
The owner Tim was more than helpful, The adorable welcoming basket was a really nice touch. He toured the home with us and was very attentive to our needs. When the toaster went on the fritz he immediately replaced it with two brand new toasters. The location near the lake was very close. However, a map to the public entrance would have been helpful. LOL It is a darling home every thing you need to be comfortable. The KITCHEN is amazing. Many meals were prepared and we found everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Lake Michigan Reunion and Retreat. We had 26 and the accommodations were wonderful; meeting all the needs of the family. LMRR is across the street from a railroad track crossing and so you hear the train horns however there were about ~5 trains per day. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

They help make some awesome family memories!
I highly recommend this house! We took 25 family members and everyone was thrilled with their accommodations. The pool and fire pit were a big hit! All but maybe one bedroom had their own private bathroom which is a huge benefit. The owners were very responsive and every text message I sent them over the months preceding our vacation were answered promptly. They even let us check in at noon, which gave us basically an additional day of vacation. We had one or two things we needed to help with at the house and they were there within minutes to assist us. I could not be happier with our stay!

A Perfect Getaway: 10/10 Stay with an Amazing Host
10/10! Our stay at Tim's home was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, Tim was an exceptional host, providing a warm welcome and ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The property itself is a true paradise! The pool and hot tub were absolutely perfect, offering the ultimate spots to unwind and relax. The rooms are spacious, beautifully and comfortably put together, and immaculately clean, making us feel right at home. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, fully equipped with everything needed to prepare meals for all your guests. We particularly enjoyed the expansive hanging area, which is perfect for lounging and socializing. The location is ideal, just a little over an hour from Chicago, with a peaceful and fun beach just around the corner. Tim's attention to detail and genuine hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We can't recommend this place enough and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful, well appointed place for large groups
We stayed this past weekend and found the bedrooms to be large enough, the beds in good shape, and lots of both! The kitchen was amazing because of its size, counter space, double sinks, double dishwashers and double fridge/freezers. Tons of dishes, serve ware, glasses of all kinds, plenty of silverware, as well as a good selection of fry pans, baking sheets, stirring/turning spatulas and so on. There were multiple sitting areas for hanging out with each other or watching TV. A very comfortable, welcoming place.

From the moment we booked until the day we left, Tim, Tom and Robin have been amazing. There was more than enough space for everybody to feel comfortable and have their own area. The check-in process was absolutely amazing and Robin walked my mother-in-law around the house and explained everything to her. We had such an amazing time and we can’t wait to rebook this property. Also, they have everything that you could possibly need in the kitchen and house to make your stay perfect!

Fabulous property for a group
This fully remodeled former bed and breakfast facility was a perfect place for my birthday celebration with 12 women. Because of the winter weather, we did not take advantage of the outdoor space, but it is lovely and offers many people to enjoy a pool, fire pit, seating, and a gas grill. The house was decorated gaily for the Christmas holiday, and the owners left all the makings of s'mores as a welcome. The bedrooms are well appointed, with good beds and linens. Each woman had her own bedroom and bathroom, which was a real treat. The sleeping areas are comfortable and plentiful. There were many sitting areas where groups of people could gather for conversation, quiet reading, games, or watching TV. Our favorite was the room with the fireplace, where all 11 of us fit and spent most of our time. the star of the house is the newly remodeled commercial kitchen, with two dishwashers, two refrigerators, a commercial stove/oven and plentiful cookware and utensils, as well as ample dishes and glasses for a crowd. The oven is not intuitive, necessitating a call to the owners and a visit from the manager, but response was quick and effective. The inn is situated close to restaurants, shopping, the beach, and bakeries. I highly recommend this facility for groups celebrating events who want to have common socializing space. I'm happy to provide specifics in a phone call. Susan Groenwald

The property was in excellent condition, and everyone was very happy with the house. This was our second visit since the house was overhauled and we can't say enough great things about it. Many thanks to Robin who stopped by to check on us and ended up figuring out that the TV remote needed new batteries. She even went out and bought some and then made sure the tv was working properly. Thanks again Robin and Ted for having us as guests.

The property was the perfect size for our large adult trip. Plenty of space and bathrooms. We all enjoyed the pool, however the hot tub water looked a little cloudy so while others felt ok going in, I did not. The house was clean, but could use some updating. Bottom line would stay again.

Fantastic house for large families
My extended family (20+ people) does reunions every year, so I have a lot of experience with large vacation rentals. This house provided a really excellent stay, and we are planning to come back next year, which says enough. With 13 bedrooms, many of which are on the first floor, there are lots of ways to configure sleeping arrangements to accommodate the elderly, children, etc. The kitchen is perfectly equipped for a family that loves to cook with double fridges and dishwashers – we cooked in every meal during our week-long stay. The pool is a huge hit and the beach is an easy walk, so you're covered whatever your water preferences are. Lots of indoor and outdoor gathering places for socializing. Tim and Ted were easy to correspond with and check-in was seamless. Highly recommended!

We had the absolute best time with our group of 16 adults and 9 kids in this house. It was the perfect place for us. Every room has its own bathroom and the space was wonderful. Ted was a breeze to work with and we’ve already planned to come back in a few years and make it a tradition for our group. We loved walking to the nearby beach and going to the breweries close by. Can’t recommend this presorts enough!
