the Property & Nearby::
The Lakefront Carriage House is situated on one of the lowest bluffs in all of Southwest Michigan less than 50' from an exclusive beach. This white, sandy shoreline is shared only by residents and guests of our street association. Lake views from this guest house are unrivaled as one other home (below the sight line down the bluff) and a few trees are all that stand between you and the lake. The home is on a private road off of Lakeshore Rd - a quiet, country road running along the lake shore among majestic old trees- with ample parking. You'll stay within walking distance and/or a very short drive of fine dining, a casual cafe, grocery & convenience store, bakery, deli, and cocktail lounge. We're more than happy to accommodate guests with information on local dining, parks, wineries, shopping, activities, and special events.
Local Activities::
Award winning dining in the area includes American, French, Middle Eastern, and Italian restaurants. Tabor Hill & Round Barn Wineries both have tasting rooms approximately 1 mi. from the home. Wine trail maps provide an excellent guide for a scenic drive to local wineries or schedule a chauffeured tour for your group. Both Lake Michigan & the nearby Galien River are excellent waterways for kayak and canoe enthusiasts. Just 5 miles away, in the harbor town of New Buffalo, you'll find the newly constructed, beautifully landscaped Four Winds Casino with its 3,000+ slot machines, World Poker Tour room, steakhouse, and immense buffet. Also Warren Dunes State Park, with its impressive sand dunes along 3 miles of pristine Lake Michigan shoreline, offers hiking, swimming, & hunting is just a 10 min drive away. Visitors have access to miles of bicycle/ ATV/ snowmobile trails, boat/ watercraft rentals, u-pick produce farms, chartered fishing, and numerous organized festivals throughout the year.
