The Big Blue Lakehouse

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Right on the shoreline of Lake Chapin find your inner peace at The Big Blue Lakehouse! With ample windows, enjoy looking out over the lake from almost every room in the house. Or, get outside and soak up the warm Michigan sun from the expansive deck. The home's dock can be utilized for small boat parking, fishing, and swimming.

Less than 11 miles away from your stay, you'll discover the Howard Performing Arts Center, Love Creek Nature Center, Fernwood Botanical Garden, and Indian Lake Hills Golf Course.

Inside, every room of the home is light, airy, and well-decorated. The spacious living room offers a delightful space to gather for movie nights and afternoon reading sessions. The updated, full kitchen features a suite of stainless steel appliances, a center island, and gleaming countertops. Off the kitchen, appreciate having access to a separate laundry room.

When mealtime rolls around, dine together at the breakfast bar, at the breakfast nook, or at the formal dining table.

The kids will adore the library's board game collection - perfect for slow afternoons. And the adults will love the basement's game room/gym space for late-night games of Ping-Pong and exercise sessions.

In the primary bedroom, you'll find elegant furnishings, a walk-in closet, balcony access, and an impressive en suite bathroom. Indulge in some self-care here as you sink into the soaking tub and rinse off in the walk-in shower. The home's additional bedrooms are just as cozy with their inviting color palettes, high-quality linens, and central air-conditioning.

As evening dawns on another day in Berrien Springs, get ready to be amazed by stunning sunset views!
