Vacation Rental Description

Summer 2008 availability update:  As of April 28, we are booked solid
for July and August, but have two June weeks still available:  May 31
to June 7 and June 21 to 28.  

Welcome to our house in Castle Park, Michigan, on the shores of Lake
Michigan, just a 2.5 hour drive from Chicago.   Begun in 2005 and
completed in 2006, its location, 700 feet from a large private beach
shared by just ten houses, is remote enough to give that “get away
from it all” feeling, yet just a short walk or ride from the quaint
charm and unparalleled amenities of Castle Park, including eight
green-clay tennis courts, swimming pool, community library, Saturday
night dances, Thursday bingo, and other pleasures of a bygone era.


Bedrooms:  5 (1 king, 1 queen, 2 with 2 twin beds each, 1 with
bunk-beds, daybed and sleeping loft).  Sleeps 12. (Up to 2 overflow
guests can also be accommodated on 2 sleeper couches in the living
room.)
 
Bathrooms:  3 1/2.  Master bath has two-person whirlpool tub. 
Downstairs bath (adjacent to queen bedroom) has walk-in shower with
grab-bars, seat and hand-held shower, plus rain-head.  Second upstairs
bath has kid-depth bathtub with shower.   Extra upstairs powder room
means no one ever has to wait to brush their teeth.  
 
Kitchen:  State of the art gourmet kitchen and adjoining pantry with
soapstone countertops, hickory cabinets, propane gas cooktop, electric
oven, microwave, french-door refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage
disposal, and all standard countertop appliances.    Kitchen window
seat and farm table look out on deck and wooded ravine.  
 
Dining room:  Farm table seats up to 12.  
 
Living room:  Comfy couches, fireplace, TV with DVD player and gaming
system.
 
Outdoor living:  Back deck and patio overlooking a wooded ravine put
you in the treetops, with excellent morning sun and terrific
bird-watching.  Charcoal grill, adirondack chairs, and dining table
and chairs.   Another deck wraps around the house on the upper level,
with a bump-out overhanging the hill and a lake view--spectacular yet
peaceful.
