This Place is a Dream! Outstanding Property!

An epic home with amazing views, specifically the sunsets! Hands down our best VRBO experience of all time!! First the property’s pictures don’t do it justice. It’s really just impossible to capture its beauty. I can safely say that the home is much better in real life than the pictures. The views are unbeatable! The location is absolutely perfect! The home is located where you’re close to all the activities but not too close to hustle and bustle. The home is very spacious and the rooms are big and clean! We were a group of 8, who had a very memorable stay at Wake Robin! Being perched up above the beach with water views from every part of the house. Ohhhh the sunsets… they are the best that you’ll see in Holland! The property is 5 star!! The real pleasure is the house help. From top to bottom they answered and accomplished 8 half crazed people’s demands and needs with ease. They were always there to address our needs (food, groceries, etc) and kept the home very neat. A perfect home to go to with friends! A truly memorable experience…..I definitely recommend it and plan to be back!

A magical retreat!

The property and property manager went above and beyond expectations. This was a weekend I hope we all remember forever! The home was iconic, the view took our breath away, and there was a serenity that about the property that made you immediately relax. A true oasis and gorgeous mid century modern home! We hope to come back :)

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Chavez

The main house was built in 1981, leaving the historic "Writer's Cabin" as a guest house. Wake Robin was designed by a renowned, local architect specializing in contemporary design and was among the first open concept floor plan homes in West Michigan. Over the dining area/kitchen is a solar heating system we can about guarantee you have never seen before! It was seen at the World Trade Fair and purchased for installation during the original construction. It is no longer operational, but remains as an important element of the home’s history.

We have changed very little about the home other than cosmetic updates over the years. The kitchen and all bathrooms were updated in Spring 2016. It has been our goal with each update to keep its modern, retro feel. Wake Robin has thoughtfully programmed gathering spaces making it easy and comfortable for everyone to be together when not enjoying time on Lake Michigan. The main floor of the home features an open floor plan, spacious kitchen island with plenty of room for more than one to be prepping meals or hanging out on bar stools at the kitchen island. Sliding doors outline the deck off the dining area and living room. Three of the bedrooms, including the master, conveniently surround the common areas. The fourth bedroom is on the second floor and has it’s own three-quarter bath, a large walk-through closet, as well as another side room off of the main room with crib. Two of the guestrooms have twin beds that can convert into a king beds, which we will happily prepare to your liking ahead of time. The master and third guest room both have king beds.

Why they chose this property

You will not find another property to compare against this one: acreage, private beach access and a spacious home for your entire family. Wake Robin is a true treasure of a location that encourages families and groups to spend time together, enjoy each other and the surroundings, and allow everything else to melt away.
