Arrakis on Lake Michigan: Beach, Dunes, Privacy, Custom-built

***15% weekly discount ***

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful beach home on the shores of Lake Michigan. This spacious home is the perfect spot to vacation, work remotely, and connect with the people you love.

Perched high on a sand dune and surrounded by nature. This property is the perfect blend of beach access and privacy. This is a fairly remote part of Lake Michigan which means you get incredible access to the water and gorgeous landscapes everywhere you look. Cell phone service, however, is virtually gone once you're about 5-7 minutes from the house. Using wi-fi to make calls and texts on Apple and some Android devices is an easy remedy once you arrive. At a minimum, guests will need to be able to climb a big set of stairs to get inside the home.

Please be aware that we have a video doorbell at the front door for security purposes only. The device is in clear view and includes both a camera and microphone.

The Silver Lake / Hart area has the vacation goodies you need--incredible hiking, biking, sand dunes, seasonal and locally-grown produce, and a slow-pace vibe to help you fully relax.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the finished living spaces on the main and upper floor as well as the beach. Beach access is a 10-minute walk to public beach at Little Sable Point Lighthouse.

You and your guests will have access to the deck, outdoor dining, outdoor lounge furniture, and a propane grill.

10-minute walk to public beach. No private beach access. We are all guests of Lake Michigan. Please be respectful of nature, property, and the community that's welcoming you.

Other things to note
If you're looking for privacy, nature, local produce and local food, recreation for the whole family, and zero fuss--this is the spot.

This area is famous for ORV dune riding on Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Look it up if you don't know about it. It's like Mad Max up close and personal in summer. People come from all over!

This area also has some really special qualities that are harder and harder to find these days. Here's a list of some of our favorite things about this community:

- Amazing local produce; seasonal eating at it's finest can be found on roadside stands and local grocery stores.

- Slow-pace; things move slower around here. It's a really chill vibe you just feel as soon as you hit the sweeping landscapes of the dunes and the water and the 4-season's Michigan fona. Vacation mode activated.

- Recreation; Ludington, Pentwater, Michigan's Adventure (water and amusement park about 40 minutes away), bike trails, lavender farms, dune hikes, Little Sable Point Lighthouse, fishing, and much more.

- Great food; La Probadita, Hansen's Grocery, Country Dairy, Cherry Pointe, and more. All local and fresh and made by people who know what they're doing!
