About this property

Perfect retreat for multi-generational families! Sat-Saturday lakeside rental.

On the LAKE side of Red Arrow at Cherry Beach. Lovely updated ranch home with a huge deck and yard. Enjoy stargazing from the quiet backyard deck. Roast s'mores in the firepit. Use all the toys and floaties in Lake Michigan at beautiful Cherry Beach!! The beach is a short, peaceful walk down Cherry Beach Road.
Perfect home for large families, reunions or groups of friends. We have hosted bridal parties, multi-generational family reunions, and many grandparents looking to gather their kids and grandkids for a week of togetherness. Many bedrooms make it easy to spread out. 4 bedrooms upstairs and lots of room downstairs for kids to bunk up. Local wineries, breweries, cideries and golf courses make Southwest Michigan a perfect vacation spot. New pickleball courts at New Buffalo High School! The Warren Dunes are a 5 minute drive.
Come relax and enjoy!!

Wonderful home for multi-family gathering! The home was exactly as described and even better than we could have hoped for. Overall very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with dishes/utensils. Plenty of beach gear and floats. The basement was a perfect place for kids to be loud and play.

Great location, 10 minute walk to Cherry Beach. Very clean. Gas grill worked well. The house was well equipped. Plenty of towels. We appreciated the beach chairs and toys, along with a foldable wagon for taking everything to the beach. Cherry Beach is lovely and not too crowded. It was nice to be able to walk there and not worry about parking. We had a wonderful week here.

We had a wonderful week with our 5 children and their spouses,and 5 grandchildren. Fun walks to the beach and relaxing quality time there every day. Plenty of room in the kitchen with everything you need. So great to have the extra fridge and freezer handy in the garage. The house is in top shape. The beds are very comfy. Huge backyard. We would definitely go back.

This house was great. Exceeded our expectations. Had everything we needed. Kitchen and baths very well stocked and beach supplies an added plus.

Everything about our stay was perfect! We do a friends trip every year and this was one of our favorites! It was very family friendly, super clean and a lot to do! The backyard was beautiful with a gas fire pit and wood burning pit. We spent 98% of our time outside. Highly recommend!

Great place for family gathering

15 of us stayed here for 3 nights. There was plenty of space for all. We did not have en suite bathrooms for all the couples, but we were fine sharing! The cousins loved the bunk room! It was nice to be close to the more private beach, but also just a short drive from dunes and shops in several places.

Annual family vacation

House was great. We were 14 adults and 3 kids. There were plenty of beds and lots of space. Back deck was great and short walk to the beach! Another fridge in basement would have been nice with so many people and a baby we could have used the space. Overall a great stay!

We had a great stay in Lakeside. There were plenty of rooms and beds to go around for our party of 12. Basement was a must for spreading out. It was really hot (well over 100) when we visited and the house stayed nice and cool those days. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and kitchenware for cooking. Patio had nice furniture for us to all eat outside together. The beach stuff (several chairs, at least 5 giant floaties, wagon, plenty of huge beach towels) were incredible and we made sure to take good care of it all because it is not common for rentals to come with that sort of stuff. It was fantastic and added a layer of fun.

Wonderful stay near the beach

Our group had a wonderful stay at this property. Mary was a great host - very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The property itself is perfect - plenty of comfortable beds and bedrooms, a large deck and yard, and tons of space for our large group. The little things are taken care of, too: ample towels, toiletries, and all the kitchen accessories you need. Certainly the most homey rental property we have stayed at. The house is about a half mile to a nice sandy beach, and plenty of chairs, toys, and floaties are provided. No complaints whatsoever; everyone in our group was happy with our stay. Highly recommend!

Loved easy walk to Cherry Beach, Luisa's Cafe and Swedish Bakery too. Loved the large deck and yard for our family of 8 adults and 4 littles. Kitchen appliances worked well, outdoor grill too. 2-car att garage served as a good play area with garage door open on drizzly days. Bathroom lacked a tub so we had to rent one for the littles. An ensuite would have been great but we shared the two on the main level. Laundry machines worked great. One of the mechanicals in the basement needed service (vibrated on and off constantly) and owner said she'd take care of that. We had a wonderful family vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Jacobs

Host profile image
My name is Mary. I am a mother of 4. I happily bought this ranch home in Michigan with the goal of spending time with my family. It has been a retreat for family and friends for over a decade. It is my goal to see other families enjoy the beauty of Southwest Michigan. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions.

Why they chose this property

I chose Cherry Beach because it was always quiet and great for families. It has gotten busier in recent years as it was name “a best kept secret” on popular websites. The walk to the beach is 5 blocks, but we are on the beach side of red arrow so it’s a lovely tree lined walk. We have a wagon to cart your beach items, but you can drive down and pay to park for the day ($15) or just run a car down and drop off all your chairs, coolers, etc.
Our home is surprisingly large - with LOTS of beds. I work hard to make sure it is well stocked and comfortable. Nice linens and towels matter, so we don't skimp on that! It is also important for it to be clean and uncluttered. I want guests to feel comfortable and relaxed. I hope you find the home appropriately appointed.

What makes this property unique

Lots of high quality beds! Nice bedding. Plenty of paper products, linens, towels, laundry detergent. I don’t skimp on the needs in a home.
LARGE yard to play - volleyball net and plenty of beach toys and floaties.
I also make sure the place is clean. We have high standards and I come check the cleanliness of the house several times per summer while it is being cleaned. I have great reviews because we work hard to make this a clean and beautiful home for your vacation.
