Description Description
Vacay Heaven just a short walk from a stunning Lake Michigan beach, anyone? This spacious, beautifully appointed home is nestled on a lush, wooded 1/3 acre and includes an additional fully wooded back lot with everything you need for privacy, fun, and 1st-class R-and-R! A large living room with flat-screen TV, fully-equipped modern kitchen, fab 3-Seasons porch and 4 comfy-elegant BRs - 1 with Ensuite BA - all invite you + your guests to relax to the max. Plus a deluxe Jacuzzi, patio BBQ grill, firepit + 2 huge lawns, so you can enjoy true bliss!

THE SPACE
Whispering Arbor is a classic 1920’s cottage where you’ll immediately feel your vacation spirit rising, given the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the spacious, comfortably furnished home. The living room with its lush natural lighting and great views is graced by a wall of windows facing the landscaped front yard, expansive lawn and tall, mature woods. Wanting to chill out with a favorite movie or show? Grab a drink and plop yourself down on the cozy couch or in a stylish barrel chair in front of the large flat-screen TV.

Hungry for something scrumptious? The recently updated kitchen features high-end appliances and all the utensils and essentials you’ll need to make delicious vacation meals or snacks. We’ve even seen to it that any coffee connoisseurs in your group can enjoy a cup of primo quality, Keurig-made coffee! In fact, the 4-seater dining table is a common gathering spot to share a little morning joe and conversation about your vacay plans for the day.

There’s also a sweet, nicely furnished 3-Seasons screened porch, for when you want to relax with a glass of vino and a closer connection to Mother Nature’s magnificent surrounding woods.

Upstairs, you’ll also find a nice sitting room area, where you can curl up with a book to your heart’s content. And yes, this vacation rental is pet-friendly – just be sure to mention your pet when you make your reservation.

Each bedroom features plush, high-quality bedding and linens – for a sound sleep and sweet dreams – gorgeous natural lighting, plenty of storage space and wonderful views of the surrounding woods.

MAIN FLOOR
Primary Bedroom: 1 King bed with Ensuite bathroom

2ND FLOOR
Bedroom 2: 1 Double Bed
Bedroom 3: 1 King Bed
Bedroom 4: 1 Queen Bed

At Whispering Arbor, the bathrooms’ highlights include metro-style vanity sinks, tiled walk-in showers and designer lighting and fixtures. There’s also a laundry room with a top-end washer and dryer combo – as well as all the essentials - for your and your guests’ use.

Our guests know, first-hand, why they don’t call it The Great Outdoors for nothing. The surrounding property is professionally landscaped and rich with majestic tall trees. You’ll also find a set of comfy rattan chairs on the front porch and an inviting deluxe Jacuzzi in which you and your guests can soothe yourselves after a long day of exploring the sights. Or get a fave beverage in hand and sit around the patio’s firepit in the evening, listening to the birdsongs as twilight turns to night and the stars magically start appearing in the sky. By the way, if a barbecued meal is desired, check out the fine gas grill on the patio – and chow down. And did we mention a long stretch of Lake Michigan’s fabulous, crystal-sand beach is just a short walk away? Oh, yeah!

Besides being surrounded by natural beauty – and super-near a premier beach – at Whispering Arbor you can also enjoy the many fun activities afforded by being just a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor, all sorts of woodland, lake and riverside parks, acclaimed public golf courses, and hiking and biking trails galore. Plus, you’ll be close to the many excellent restaurants, art galleries, boutique shops and popular watering holes to be found in Lakeside, Union Pier, Three Oaks and New Buffalo, as well as a host of nearby award-winning wineries and breweries.

Here’s a possible review for your Airbnb stay:
“We had a wonderful stay at this property! It was the perfect location, just a short walk to the beach, which was ideal for us and our two young daughters. The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time together. The host was very responsive and accommodating as well. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return in the future!”
