Firepit, Deck & Views | Stairs to Lake Michigan

Perched on a quiet bluff above Lake Michigan, this retreat offers private access to sandy shores and breathtaking sunset views.

Summer days invite swimming, kayaking, and hiking the nearby dunes, while crisp fall evenings and snowy winters are perfect for fireside gatherings and starlit nights.

Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, this home is the perfect retreat for an unforgettable stay. Family and friends can connect, recharge, and experience Michigan’s beauty in every season.

★THE SPACE★

Driftwood Sands Retreat blends lakeshore charm with the beauty of Lake Michigan. Gather with loved ones in the open living space, share stories around the fire, or enjoy morning coffee on the deck as the waves roll in.

Outside, a wooden footbridge leads across a ravine to your own private 70-step stairway down to the sandy shoreline. Summer days bring swims, sandcastles, and sunbathing, while fall offers colorful hikes and crisp lake breezes. In winter, the fireplace and cozy gathering spaces make the retreat just as magical.

This peaceful setting is designed for connection and adventure. Spend the afternoon hiking local trails, kayaking along the shoreline, or exploring nearby White Lake and Silver Lake. Return home to starlit evenings around the firepit or a home-cooked meal shared at the dining table.

Set on a spacious lot with trees and sweeping lake views, Driftwood Sands Retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and create memories. More than a place to stay, it’s your gateway to the rhythm of the lake year-round.
