Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Lake Michigan Beach

This was just what we needed after an eventful trip. The house sits right on the lake and everything you need to enjoy this setting was included (firewood, kayaks, condiments, etc.) The house had a beautiful view from the large windows in the dining area but also several sitting areas outside as well. The lake is nice and serene with geese, cranes and eagles sightings. The rooms were decorated very nicely and every space was so clean. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend at the lake!

Excellent hosts, wanted for nothing. Great location!

Nothing but great things to say / check-in was seamless and communication was perfect. The place was also top notch of course.

This is the second time we've stayed in Nancy's lovely home and we hope to return soon! The contemporary style features high ceilings and enormous windows overlooking a wooded lot and a graceful dune. The generous size of the living area and kitchen made it easy for our family to hang out together after a day in the Indiana Dunes National Park. You're only minutes from the lake, great hiking, and a restaurant we really enjoyed (Goblin and the Grocer) but the secluded, private setting makes you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere ... perfect for city folks trying to get away from it all. Nancy is a great host, and her home features plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. After a day of hiking and exploring, it was wonderful to return to this tranquil place. We can't wait to go back!

Very comfortable and lovely home to stay in. My birthday overlapped with the Indiana Migratory Bird Watching festival this year at the Dunes which was a fun way to celebrate with family and our dogs. Great home for nature lovers and birders alike. The hot tub is comfortable but if it’s windy do expect debris. Courtney was very responsive with all our hot tub needs. We used both AC and heat and both work well. Wifi is very easy to connect and troubleshoot. Very comfortable screened in porch. Overall a lovely stay and would highly recommend!!

Gina, our host, was incredibly welcoming and kind. She sent updates prior to our visit with local recommendations for things to do, restaurants to dine at, and also knew it was our anniversary so left us a welcome gift at the house, which was so generous and thoughtful. The house is so clean and contemporary and just beautiful with all the comforts of home. We loved our stay there and hope to be back again soon.

This place is even more magical in person and perfectly accommodated our group of 10! We loved it so much that we looked to book again this summer, but it was all full. Hopefully will return next year—everything was perfect! The house is clean, has so much space, all of the amenities you could need, and the view/ beach was so beautiful. Highly recommend staying here—we can’t say enough good things!

My group and I had a wonderful time here, the house and lake were beautiful. The host was responsive and extremely nice, definitely recommend this Airbnb!

Looks exactly as listed! Great views from the balcony with nice natural light from inside. The evenings had plenty of relaxing fireplace heaters inside with dim light settings. Heated bathroom floor was my personal favorite. A great park to walk in nearby made it the perfect relaxing getaway we were hoping for!

Everything was squeaky clean and just as described. Would recommend 10/10!

We stayed on the third floor of the complex and enjoyed Matthew's attention to detail. He gave a lot of thought to all components of his property.

We had a wonderful stay at Sara’s place! It was a scenic area and we were very comfortable. Thank you so much!

The place was amazing, very cozy Airbnb and for a great price! The view of the property from the Airbnb was beautiful and gives off farmhouse vibes, space was great for my family and I! We had some friends and family over and everyone was comfortable in the space and it didn’t feel cramped ! Very beautiful place with great home owners!

We had a great stay! The home had all the comforts of home and the right kitchen tools we needed to make a couple of meals including a BBQ.

We had an amazing time! Me and my boyfriend stayed for one night, the patio and dock were super cozy and we really enjoyed sitting out there at night just listening to music and having some drinks. Super nice area, the beach isn't too far and they have some fun bars and restaurants in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

The Walton Residence is a true gem! From the smooth pre-trip communication to the warm welcome and helpful tour at check-in, everything was top-notch. The apartment is beautifully decorated and filled with everything one could want (coffeemaker and coffee, dishes and cookware, bathrobes, etc), and had everything I needed—including a full kitchen and dining area that made it easy to host visiting family. The location is fantastic—an easy walk to the river, amazing architecture, great restaurants, local markets, and shopping. Plus, the bed was incredibly comfortable (seriously, one of the best I’ve slept in!). I’d stay here again in a heartbeat—already looking forward to my next visit!

We had an amazing 5-star stay in Chicago! The home was spotless, artfully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches like a piano, guitar, and a welcome gift. We loved the 360° rooftop deck with a fireplace and the fully equipped kitchen with a balcony. Beds were super comfy with high-quality, clean bedding. Though close to downtown, the home is on a quiet street and offers keyless entry — very convenient. We also appreciated the private garage with EV charger, 3 TVs, 2 fireplaces, and a great Nespresso machine. The location is unbeatable—near top spots like Swift & Sons and City Winery. Natasha was an excellent, responsive host. We’re already planning to return!

David’s place had everything that we needed for our weekend stay! Had fun with the extra amenities: kayaking, foosball, ping pong etc! Thanks for a great stay!

Hany was very responsive, informative, and accommodating. The home looked just like the photos! It was a quick walk downtown to restaurants, shops, and a park. This was a perfect place for our family!

I would give both Kerry and her villa 10 stars if I could. Everything was outstanding and as-advertised. Kerry provided instructions for finding & accessing the house and a helpful and personalized guide to the local highlights well before our visit. She provided all of the information we needed promptly and we felt that she truly cared that we have a wonderful stay. The house is very well designed and Kerry has loaded it with all the amenities imaginable, from the basics to all the extras we could want while on a vacation at the lake. Everything was in great condition, well organized and of high quality. We could not have been more comfortable. Kerry's house is on a beautiful lot above and across the street from Lake Michigan. The grounds were in excellent condition and landscaped to provide a peaceful, pastoral and private setting. We enjoyed watching the Orioles and other birds flocking to the bird feeders off the upper deck. This was the perfect spot for our family celebration.

We had a lovely family reunion at St Joe’s overlook. Kitchen came with literally everything- all sorts of cooking instruments (crock pot, air fryer, toaster etc), spices/oils, and zip lock bags for leftovers. All brand new appliances and ample prep space. We got the pool heated and it was wonderful! Very large size to fit all the family kids. The hot tub was a nice save for the adults who were freezing. Beautiful views from the living room of the river with ample and comfy seating. The home was perfect for a large gathering. We appreciate Evan and Claire hosting us they were always responsive and helpful.

This place was awesome, a beautiful cottage in the woods with a fire pit, hot tub, walking paths, and just 5 minutes from downtown. My only feedback is about the room setup. The listing shows a room with two bunks, but it’s actually an open loft with one bunk bed. It’s not a private room, so don’t count it as a secluded space. When I book a house, it’s really important that everyone has a quiet room to return to, so I was a little disappointed that some guests got shorted on that. Honestly, it might have affected my decision to book. Otherwise, the stay was beautiful and peaceful, I’d definitely come back!

Great host!! Great location!! Great property!! We came in town for a golf trip and this property was a perfect location and comfortable. Nice to start each morning with a quick walk to the beach and watch the sun rise over the lake. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.

John and Valentino have a beautiful home that is welcoming and comfortable. Their yard is large and ready for company. The fire pit is perfectly placed, the bbq makes it easy to cook for a crowd. And if it is a crowd you’re cooking for, the weather need not matter… the two kitchens allow for lots of cooking no matter the time of year. Rarely do I find a comfortable bed when I travel, but John and Valentino have it. Downtown was a few minutes drive away. There is a large playground right downtown which had tons of kids playing! With lots of shopping and restaurant options, cooking is not required. Definitely stop by the Farmhouse Deli in Douglas. The home felt comfortable and also elegant. We were so pleased to stay with them and hope to do so again.
