Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Erica Sinchak
Our family has been visiting the Saugatuck/Douglas, Michigan area most of our life. We hold a million sepia-colored memories in our heads. As Chicagolanders, we escape suburbia for the dunes, beaches, and woodlands of the Lake Michigan shoreline every chance we get.
We enjoy the area so much that I thought others should too. At a time when the town was still quiet and homey, I started on a journey of building true vacation destinations that are unique from anything you would find in suburbia, true cabins that drive relaxation and escape.
With no appetite for owning or managing rundown, churn-n-burn properties, we prefer to focus on high-end vacation homes with incredible amenities. In order to deliver value to our guests, the properties themselves became more than places to stay, they became experiences. Providing an experience is a combination of a unique property, different than anything our guests have at home, quality in-house amenities, unique exterior amenities such as location, and on-property activities such as jacuzzi, pools, and fire features. Finally, the experience is topped off with special treatment and high-attention from the management company (quite literally, us).
Someone once told me, “After kids, you don’t go on vacation. You visit places.” I didn’t want that for Lakewood Lux. I wanted to make each property family-friendly with the comforts of home. We splurge on high-end items like kitchen appliances, pots and pans, serveware, linens and towels to ensure a guest experience that is like or better than home. Then, we make sure all the amenities are maintained by professionals. Folks work hard to earn their vacations, and I wanted to ensure their visits were pleasantly clean, comfortable, and fun, because that’s what I would want.

Why they chose this property
Lakeshore Woods Lodge was built for suburban families of surrounding cities to relax and enjoy a traditional experience that is often lost in the suburbs. All-natural construction and the rustic feel coupled with the relaxation of the woods and sounds of the lake is the break that everyone needs.
What makes this property unique
This particular property is on a rare location accessed via a private road and an area of Lakeshore drive that provides the absolute perfect mix of Michigan woods, lake proximity, nearby Douglas beach, and downtown Saugatuck shopping. Our guests enjoy the proximity to activities and the ability to return to the quiet of the lodge after a long day of fun. A brief walk down the private road yields gorgeous views of the lake on a 50'+ high bluff that exists nowhere else on lakeshore drive. Bluff sunsets are amazing and unobstructed by housing or trees that often block these views on other sections of Lakeshore Drive. The house was positioned to enjoy the seasonal lake and sunset views from within the great room, loft, or screened porch of the lodge, watch as the house glows orange while night approaches.
