Description Description
Welcome to Summer Retreat, another great home offered by Third Coast Vacations, Harbor Country and Michiana's favorite local vacation rental company. 

This home has been well cared for by the same family for generations and they've opened it up for guest use for the fall of 2023. 
When you enter the home you'll be in a spacious open living area with views into the kitchen. Off the right of the front entry is a large dining room bathed in natural light with seating for 8. Off to the left of the front entry is a large living area with comfortable seating centered around a fireplace.

There is also a cozy sunroom with a TV, twin bed, and sofa off the main living space as well. 
Just down the hall is a large main floor bedroom and bathroom with outdoor access to the hot tub area. 

If you continue on through the home you'll find yourself in a large, eat-in kitchen with a dinette table that opens to a spacious and well-furnished three seasons room. Just off the kitchen is a powder room as well as access to a cozy den area with a TV and couch.

Heading upstairs, the home has 6 bedrooms. The large master suite has a blue velvet sofa and a King bed with a fireplace in the room. The next bedroom features a King-sized bed with lots of natural light. Down the hall are three more spacious bedrooms, one with a Queen bed and two bedrooms with two twin beds each.

The home's exterior is immaculately well-landscaped and cared for with a large hot tub, huge grassy yard, outdoor shower, and firepit with surrounding seating. The home has a grill and a smoker for guest use as well. 

Just steps down the road, about 200 yards from the front of the home is Gordon Beach, the beach shown in the photos at the end of the listing.

This is a great place. Much larger than what we were expecting. A great property and location.

This our second stay on Apple Lane! Great spot for a large group, close to the lake.

The property was perfect for our family. It had plenty of room for the kids and grandkids and the rooms and beds were very nice and comfortable. The beach really was just a short distance away and the nicest that we have stayed on when we've visited Michigan. Everyone in our family wants to come back!

Great place to stay when you have a large group! Lots of different common areas that accommodate a crowd, from the huge dining table to the screen porch to the living room with fireplace. Well-equipped kitchen and large bathrooms with tons of towels (a pet peeve of mine at other rentals, ha). It’s a short walk to the beach, a great bakery and more. We would stay here again!

The house was spacious and clean, lots of rooms to spread out and relax. We loved the outside shower to rinse off after a walk on the beach!

The rental house was perfectly located for a relaxing Lake Michigan getaway, with space for privacy and close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and groceries. Some of the furnishings are a bit outdated, but the house was very clean and well-appointed for a long stay. Beds and linens were very comfy. The kitchen was well-stocked. And there is ample space for a large family group to spread out around the house and yard. We’re definitely considering coming back!
