A beautifully renovated, eco-conscious* home just minutes from Saugatuck/Douglas, South Haven & Holland. This home sits on a tranquil lot with mature trees, privacy from neighbors, 3 decks (2 shaded), and gorgeous Lake Michigan views with 140 feet of shoreline. The walkable beach is accessible from new Trex stairs and a large 40 foot deck overlooking the beach/Lake Michigan; both are lit at night. Take a mile-long walk around the quiet neighborhood over a wooden bridge and creek. Play croquet and other games in the large yard. The home has an open-concept main living space and kitchen with a four seasons room (with heated floors), all with lake views. Two tables can easily sit 16+ people. Three of the four bedrooms have king beds with closets; two share a hallway bathroom and the other has an ensuite bathroom and office space. The fourth bedroom sits in the back of the house and serves as a kids' bunk room/play space/TV room. It sleeps 10 with an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and hooks for all. It also has a 12-drawer built-in dresser for everyone's things. Enjoy a family or kid movie night lounging on the built-in "couches" - cal. king & queen trundle. In addition, the home has an outdoor shower, half bathroom in the main living space as well as gas fireplace, and laundry room. A new hot tub was installed August 2023.

*We designed and stocked Ambleside Retreat to be an eco-conscious get-away. All mattresses, including crib mattress, are organic (except Queen Trundle due to size constraints). The vast majority of bedding and towels are 100% cotton and OEKO-TEX. Our cleaning service uses - as well as stocked cleaning supplies are - clean, non-toxic brands. (Harsher chemicals will be used only when necessary.) Shampoo, conditioner, soaps, toilet paper and paper towels are all clean and sustainable. Clean-up towels under the island sink may be used instead of paper towels; simply place dirty towels in the basket marked “dirty” underneath the same sink. LED lights, new and efficient windows, toilets with a green flush option, and antique or FSC-certified furniture throughout.

**Please Note: Michigan shorelines change daily. After a year of ownership, we have always had beach; but, we cannot say with 100% certainty you will have beach when you rent.
