About this property

Sprawling Lake Retreat on White Lake! Private Setting Loaded w/ extra amenities

This 150+ ft. view is all yours at Maple Beach House!
~~~ not to mention your own beach area
This Home-Away-From-Home is the place for your large gathering to spread out and relax. There is over 3,200 sq. ft. inside- and mostly on the main floor.

We're blessed to be on a secluded area of tranquil White Lake and only 5 minutes from the charming towns of Montague and sister-city, Whitehall, across the bridge.
There are too many attractions nearby to mention – truly something for everyone!
~~~see our attached photos of just a sampling.

Maple Beach House serves as an excellent home base featuring these highlights:
---New for 2025 - Wide metal dock, with staircase!
- Large 27 cu ft refrigerator with water
dispenser
- Bosch 800 tall tub dishwasher with 3rd rack
--- New for 2024 - Additional deck furniture - 2 loveseats, 4 swivel chairs, 2 ottomans, and 4 tables.
- New LVT and carpet in the whole 4 BR side.
- 65" OLED TV
- New basement bar with cosmetics/medicine fridge.
- Pet turf area for our furry guests' after-dark potty needs

Maple Beach House features:
- 2 separate living rooms, joined by a large kitchen and dinette area
(each with their own entry and lake views)
- 3 Full Baths plus the 2 upstairs bedrooms have their own sink and vanity areas!
- 5 spacious bedrooms and a Den. Sleeps 16 in beds!
~~~ 2 additional Queen pullout sofas sleep 4
- Game room! Games with table for 6 plus 2 extra
leaves
Air (not just push) Hockey, Foosball, Pool, Ping
Pong, and more

We have two full sized refrigerators and a small one in the basement with a digital temperature control. The coffee maker brews ground and K-Cups.

There is plenty of parking space, a circle drive and a 2 car garage.

This inviting retreat has everything you need for making memories with your loved ones.

Maple Beach House itself offers plenty of areas to relax and play, but it’s also a perfect home-base for the Whitehall/Montague area providing easy access to Lake Michigan and close proximity to all other points of interest, activities, and conveniences.

If you are looking just to chill, look no further than this peaceful place. Read that vacation novel, while enjoying the cool lake breezes in one of our 6 bedrooms. Take a snooze under the beautiful tree canopy. Or grab one of the provided beach towels and head to the beach to lounge by the water to enjoy the sunshine, the sound of the lapping waves, and maybe some unhurried conversation.

Everyone will love this spot on White Lake for its gorgeous panoramic view of the blue (not actually white!) waters, which are often remarkably un-crowded.
At night, build a bonfire - have s’mores and tell stories. And don’t forget to stargaze!

Please note that children are very welcome and, hopefully, will be quite entertained.
Amenities:
3 adult kayaks
2 youth kayaks
Dinghy
River Run floats
10 ft. inflatable pool
Swing set
XL Swing
Sand toys, and other games/toys
Cornhole
Pickleball game (Pickle 360)
Books, & board games.



The house is easy to get to – a short 15 minute drive from US-31.
It is 3 hours away from Chicago and Detroit, and 1 hour from Grand Rapids.
MBH is ideally located to enjoy the best of each lake:
White Lake’s warmer, calmer waters for water sports like skiing, tubing, fishing, and swimming.
And Lake Michigan’s immense waters & wonderful beaches with soft sand and waves –
5 miles away via boat (via channel access with its great view of the White River Light Station & Museum)
and car (convenient parking is available at Duck Lake State Park Beach, where you can enjoy Duck Lake, the warm, shallow waters of the channel – a big hit with the kids- and the “big lake”).

The house will be stocked with some starter supplies such as coffee, filters, sugar, salt, spices, paper goods (towels, tissues, toilet), soap (hand, dish, dishwasher, laundry), garbage bags, propane, roasting sticks, and firewood.

Food, beverages, and extra supplies needed can be purchased nearby. The sister cities of Whitehall and Montague are only a couple of miles away. Montague Foods has a large selection of high quality groceries, beer, and wine. Check out the World’s Largest Weathervane before going in! Also take advantage of the Farmers Market (and Artisan Market) across the street on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

When it’s time to eat, you will find everything you need to prepare meals for 12 and serve meals for 24 (who wants to do dishes every day on vacation?), or to call for takeout or delivery (menus from local restaurants are at the house).


Check out the White Lake Area’s Visitors site at whitelake.org for a wealth of information, including a downloadable Visitor Guide. There are many special events throughout the year, such as the Cruz’In Classic Car Show, the Arts and Crafts Festival, and the Wine and Jazz Festival. But, you can easily spend any day just in the walk-able picturesque towns of Whitehall and Montague with its many unique shops and attractive places to get some tasty food and drinks. Montague and Whitehall boast a handful of excellent craft beer, wine, and spirits makers.

Take a look at our “Other Attractions and Activities” section for web addresses to some of the other popular places near MBH. There is so much to see and do in the White Lake Area, you will want to stay longer than a week! (Ask us about discounts for longer stays).

Maple Beach House makes it easy for your vacation to be what you want it to be – a memorable fun-filled escape!

In 7 years of family getaways, my adult daughters agreed that this was the cleanest home yet. Good spaces, amenities, linens, and more made the move into it easy. We loved the inland lake and opportunities for fishing and tubing it afforded us. Careful attention to details and GREAT communication made our 20 persons visit a 10!

The perfect place for young cousins to meet and play for the first time. Very nearby to a cute town and the park at the end of the drive was perfect! We were very comfortable with 8 kids and 8 adults. The property is not lacking in any basic necessities and the quality was consistently high. Thank you!!

Our family of 9 adults came here to celebrate with our parents their 65th wedding anniversary. Michigan is our favorite place to go and this home on White Lake did not disappoint! The lake view, deck, and comfortable layout of the home was perfect. We enjoyed the deck, the kayaks, bonfires, and a pontoon rental. As many have said, Lu Ann is extremely attentive & responsive.

Beautiful Lakehouse where many family memories were made.

Let me just start by saying that our host Luann was amazing! She went over and beyond to make us feel welcome. The house was equipped with everything a large family stay would require. The lakeview was breathtaking and they have a dock. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and had a blast. This home brought us laughter, some friendly competition, healing of relationships and memories that we will forever hold in our hearts. There were tears when we had to say goodbye. Thank you Maple Beach House!
