Epic Lake Michigan Bluff Home 2-Acre + Heated Pool
Look for the sign that says Lighthouse Bluffs. That is your turn. A private driveway runs back through mature pines onto more than two acres on the bluffs of Lake Michigan. No shared lot. No hotel corridor. Trees, sky, and then the water.
The house faces east. From nearly every window you get Lake Michigan, the Kewaunee lighthouse, and the harbor. Sunrises land on this side of the state. Coffee in the kitchen, mug on the deck, lake already doing the work.
Guests say the same things in the reviews — and then they come back. This listing is a Guest Favorite for a reason. People write about the views, the pool, how stocked and thought-through the house is. Families and friend groups rebook year after year. It is not a one-weekend rental they forget. It is the place they put on the calendar again.
This is a fully renovated home — more than 3,400 square feet — rebuilt to feel new: furniture, granite, windows, siding, doors, built-ins. It sleeps a large group without turning into one loud room.
Main floor is where the day starts. Open living with new furniture and custom cabinets, flowing into the family room and kitchen. Stocked coffee bar (Keurig Duo, K-cups, grounds, grinder). Dining room with built-in storage. A king bedroom on this level and a half bath off the living room, so someone can sleep near the action. Expanded mudroom/laundry with a built-in ice maker that puts out about 50 pounds a day.
Upstairs is the quiet stack: four king bedrooms. The master has a private ensuite — tile walk-in shower and a soaking tub. The second full bath has a new tile shower and heated floors.
Lower level is the hangout wing. Bunk room with five twin bunks, a full bath, a living area with a 75" TV and Sonos, and a multicade arcade nook. Kids disappear here. Adults do too, after the fire.
Outside is the reason people book a week. Backyard: large composite deck over a private heated inground pool with a new epoxy surround. The patio is fenced. Polywood dining for eight, cushioned chaise loungers, a small bistro, a kid picnic table. Hard-piped propane firepit with six swivel chairs. Hard-piped four-burner Weber with a prep table — no tank swap. Pool toys and floats are on site.
A few steps toward the bluff: a permanent wood-burning firepit, eight Adirondack chairs, firewood included (we buy it by the cord). Front of the house: four more Adirondacks looking over the yard, a multi-tier kids’ playset, and an in-ground adjustable basketball hoop.
The finished garage is part of the stay — epoxy floor, TVs, and the outdoor games: cornhole, ping pong, washer toss, bocce, balls, the pile you do not want to haul from home.
Kewaunee is minutes down the road. Marina, lighthouse, public parks, sand beaches. Father Marquette Memorial Park is about a 10-minute walk — playground and beach access. Harbor Point is next to the marina. Selner Park is the bigger beachfront park a short drive south. Algoma is about 10 minutes. Door County is about 25–30 minutes when you want the peninsula and still want to sleep on this bluff. Pets are welcome.
Pool season typically runs late May through mid-October, weather allowing. While it is open the heater is set around 86°F; close the solar cover when you are not in it. Board games and cards are in the house.
You enter through the garage with a 4-digit code sent 24–48 hours before arrival. Message us before or during the stay — questions, early timing when we can swing it, or a larger gathering. This property has the land for a group. It also has the quiet that brings people back.
Full house, full yard, full bluff. Mornings on the lake. Afternoons in the pool. Nights at the fire. That is why they rebook.

The house is amazing, very clean, organized, and perfect for our stay. We loved the outdoor space, pool, and firepit. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely loved our stay here!! We had our wedding here and the location was absolutely perfect we had family stay on the property and was able to have a ceremony and reception all in one place!! The house, yard, pool, and other amenities were top tier. I also have to give a huge shout out to the host who had amazing communication and responded so quickly and helped in any way they could! We know that others will love this place as much as we did!!
This property will spoil you for any other. The only thing missing is a walk on a sand beach which they can't provide. But, get in your car to one of the Kewaunee parks and there is the sand. The communication is great and many times it was within an hour of sending an email. Beautiful accommodations. Well organized. I could go on and on. Was a wonderful place for my family reunion.
We just returned from an amazing 5 nights!! Our family of 10 (6 adults, 2 teens and two elementary students) along with our family dog found this home to have everything we could possibly need. While the pool and pool toys was the highlight but there were other numerous activities for the kids. It’s obvious a lot of thought went into making this home perfect for families. We were gratefully surprised with the attention to every detail. The kitchen was VERY well equipped, the stand alone ice maker made it so we never ran out of ice and the 2nd refrigerator in the garage was a helpful bonus. The lake made for a stunning view and sunrises in the morning. We recommend this home for a large family or multiple families for a great vacation in the Door County area.
Absolutely — here’s a warm, enthusiastic Vrbo review that highlights the family celebration, the home, and the wonderful host:We had the most incredible 2-night family getaway celebrating our dad’s 83rd birthday, and this house was absolutely perfect for our big extended family!The house truly has everything you could possibly need for a fun, comfortable, and memorable stay. It was exceptionally clean, organized, and thoughtfully stocked with so many amenities for both kids and adults. With 5 boys and 1 girl in our group, the outdoor space and pool were an absolute dream! The kids had so much to keep them entertained, while the adults were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful space as well.Our host was absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. We especially appreciated the thoughtful note letting us know that the house was ready an hour earlier than the regular check-in time — such a kind touch and a great way to start our stay!We made so many wonderful family memories here, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate such a special milestone. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back! Highly recommend this home for families and larger groups looking for a beautiful, clean, well-equipped, and welcoming place to stay.If you’d like, I can also make it more raving and personal, with a little more “WOW, this place was amazing!” energy.

This property exceeded our expectations in many ways. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and conveniently laid out. The pool was fantastic.
The family had a wonderful time once again.. The weather was challenging sometimes, but it all worked out. The updates you've made are very nice/classy. Did you guys ever think of adding a hot tub for those times to combat the lake breezes?
This is the perfect house for a family vacation. The house was well stocked. You never need to leave the house because everything you need is there. My grandkids loved the pool and all said it was their favorite part.
I don’t usually write reviews but this house was absolutely perfect. Better than the photos. I was impressed with how clean it was, and was more than enough space for us to have an enjoyable weekend! Would definitely visit again!
The house is wonderful and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The grounds are expansive and well maintained. The hosts are response to our questions. We will be back!
We had 12 adults for a bachelor/bachelorette party. There was plenty of space for all of us, the heated pool was a hit all weekend, and the spacious back yard gave us plenty of room for yard games. The fire pit overlooking the lake was so gorgeous, the property and house were so clean, and so nice. We all had a blast!
Very nice place. Kitchen has everything in it you would ever need. There are so many things that would accommodate families with children. Just a beautiful home and very well stocked with amenities. Would stay here again!
The house is incredible. Feels like a new home, it’s spacious, has beautiful views & everything you need for a large group! We enjoyed sunrises overlooking Lake Michigan, the heated pool, swing set, games, fire pits & utensil provided kitchen & stocked coffee bar!

About the host
Hosted by Outside the Box Properties, LLC
We’re local Wisconsin hosts based in the Green Bay area, and Kewaunee has always been one of our favorite stretches of Lake Michigan. We bought and renovated this bluff-top home because we wanted a place that felt like a real getaway: water views, room for family and friends, and outdoor space that actually gets used. We ’re hands-on hosts. We care about the details—clean arrivals, clear instructions, a pool that’s ready, and a house that works for groups. Hosting is not a side hobby for us. We treat it like hospitality: answer quickly, fix issues fast, and set the property up the way we’d want to stay ourselves.
When we’re not working on homes, we’re usually with family, coaching youth hockey, or looking for the next project that makes a stay better. We like being hosts because we get to share a part of Wisconsin that still feels local—sunrise over the lake, a quiet harbor town, and Door County close enough for a day trip.
If you need anything during your stay, reach out. We want this to feel easy from the driveway to checkout.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for the setting: a private bluff-top stretch above Lake Michigan, just outside Kewaunee’s harbor town. The driveway is marked by the Lighthouse Bluffs sign, and from here you get water, sky, and quiet instead of city noise. Kewaunee itself is a small authentic lakeshore town—pierhead lighthouse, harbor, historic streets, local restaurants, and easy access to Door County without the Door County crowds. What we enjoy most is the contrast. Mornings can be coffee and lake views; afternoons can be the harbor, Ahnapee Trail, or a short drive to wineries and parks; evenings can be the fire pit on the bluff. It’s the kind of neighborhood you pick when you want space, sunrises over the water, and a real Wisconsin shoreline stay rather than a busy resort strip.
What makes this property unique
This property stands out because it sits on a private Lake Michigan bluff, not in a crowded resort strip or a standard neighborhood rental. Guests get wide water views, space to spread out, and a setting that feels like a getaway the moment they turn into the Lighthouse Bluffs driveway.
The home was renovated to handle groups well: multiple king bedrooms plus a bunk room, an arcade, Sonos throughout, and living areas that work for both quiet mornings and bigger gatherings. Outside is what most guests remember—the heated pool (set to 86°F), deck and fire pits, and a bluff-side fire pit with wood and chairs ready to use. The pool has automated chemistry and timed equipment, plus toys and floats in the Keter storage units. Close the cover when you’re done and it stays warmer and cleaner.
We also designed it for an easier stay. You enter through the garage, the welcome book is in the front entry, and the property is set up for 16–20 guests without feeling cramped. The glass railings protect the bluff views instead of blocking them. Kewaunee’s harbor, lighthouse, and restaurants are close; Door County is an easy drive when you want it.
In short: lake, space, pool, and a house that actually works for a group—not just a pretty listing photo.
