3 bedroom property

I really loved this property and its location however, it is listed as having 4 bedrooms which is not accurate. What they consider the 4th bedroom is not a private space with 4 walls and a door but a walk through to the other bedrooms and bathroom with a daybed. Also, the bed in one of the master bedrooms was incredibly hard and not even slightly comfortable.

Charming lake house

Lake Michigan cottage with the typical charm of the lake area. Nicely laid out with master on one side of the house with the other two bedrooms on the opposite side. Great decks on the exterior and as always the beaches are spectacular!

About the host

Hosted by Gigi Carroll

I was born on Long Island, NY and spent many a summer on the North Shore of the island, including Montauk Point. Imagine my joy when I found the Hamptons of the Midwest just 75 minutes from Chicago! Beautiful beaches. Great dining. Romantic evenings. Long sunsets. Peace. Quiet. Perfection.
And so began the story of creating the most amazing storybook cottage and the ideal place to enjoy the easy breezy life Harbor Country offers. I am thrilled to offer you that same experience.

Why they chose this property

To me, the house is the intersection of all the places I love. . . a little bit of New Orleans, Key West, and Long Island. The front porch surrounded by lush greenery and flowers is reminiscent of a Tennessee Williams play. And that is what drew me here first. . That moody front porch I spotted from the road. Serendipitously, It happened to be for sale. To me it was the quintessential summer cottage. At the time, the property contained two small vintage cottages. I joined them a year later, updated...well everything, and added a large kitchen/family room addition.

What makes this property unique

I love everything about this house. The hydrangeas that greet your when you drive up, the rooms filled with light that make you wonder if you are inside or out...the vaulted beamed ceilings in almost every room that provide the most airy experience. The private deck that is the most awesome room in the house. I am truly a lover of beautiful things and wanted a place to house them all. I hope my home reflects that. Oh and did I mention how awesome it is to watch a thunderstorm roll in from the beach?? The best entertainment ever:-)
