Beautiful Home On A High Bluff Overlooking Lake Mich! Spring/Fall dates open!

EMINENCE emi·nence
noun
Eminence is defined as a high, lofty place, an elevated land area, a piece of rising ground.

There is no better word to describe the location of this amazing property. The custom home, built in 2009, is situated high atop a bluff, just minutes from Ludington, and offers commanding views of Lake Michigan from nearly every room!

There are four bedrooms, including two master suites, both with king sized beds and full bathrooms. The master suite on the main floor provides direct access to your own private sitting area on the back deck overlooking the lake, inviting you to the day’s first cup of coffee. In addition to the suites, there are two other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with four twin beds, which share access to the homes third full bathroom on the upper level. There is also a loft area furnished with a queen sleeper sofa.

The kitchen is superbly stocked for all your cooking and dining needs. There is an outdoor grilling space and fire pit too, perfect for s’mores as you watch another spectacular sunset reflect from the lake at the end of the day.

Enjoy the spacious living room for entertainment or just relaxing in front of the There is a lovely fireplace and 50” flat screen TV. The home is WiFi enabled and comes equipped with a washer and dryer as well. All the comforts of home await you!

New as of 1/1/2022....we now have a Ping Pong table, dart boards and card games in the basement for fun rainy / snowy day fun. We have tons of chairs down there. Great place to send the kiddos!

Note: We purchased this home in November 2015 and purchased all new furnishings. No weddings or events. Maximum of 12 guests. Our neighbors are full time residents and our guests shall respect the property lines at all times. We do not have any beach access. The beauty of our home is the view from atop the bluff.

We have a Ring Doorbell on the front porch and a Ring Camera on the back deck.

Thanks!

Perfect family getaway
We really enjoyed our stay - our first visit to Lake Michigan and the sunsets around the fire pit were by far the highlight of the trip. The house is very well outfitted with everything we needed to be able to cook during our stay. The beds were very comfortable and my kids enjoyed the ping-pong table downstairs.

Amazing
From the moment we walked in the door we were wowed. The property was amazing and felt like home. The views from the back porch were so beautiful. We spent much of time sitting on the porch, watching sunrises, enjoying mid day sunshine and watching the sun fall into the sparkling lake. It was a close distance to town which was convenient. The owners were easy to communicate with and have a gem in this property.

beautiful getaway
we stayed for my mom's 70th birthday. It was a beautiful home with a beautiful view. The house was great. It was clean and well stocked with what is needed in the kitchen. There were goodies like local treats in the kitchen and soaps for the bathroom. The firepit was great. We spent a lot of time outside. We used the grill. The beds were comfy. The beach close by was lovely, and when we went we almost had it all to ourselves. It was off-season so it was challenging at times to find shops and restaurants. Hosts were very helpful in that regard. It was a great stay; sure we'll return.

Beautiful home and breathtaking views!
The property is the perfect oasis with the most stunning views of Lake Michigan up on the bluff. Heidi is very communicative and they want their guests to feel right at home. The beach access is about a mile down the street, the neighborhood is small and was quiet during our stay. I loved this property so much that I booked another trip to this home before I even left! Thank you Heidi and Wayne for sharing such a beautiful piece of Michigan lakeshore and opening up your vacation home for others to enjoy.
