A turnkey short-term rental high on a Lake Michigan bluff, with a cabin next door and acres of private land around it. More than a hundred five-star reviews, and guests wrote them for a reason. Ask what they remember and you'll hear the same two things: the sunset and the oversized hot tub overlooking the water. Neither one fits in a photo. The main house is built for the whole crowd: family reunions, wedding weekends, church and company retreats, the trip where everyone finally ends up at your place. The tiny cabin next door operates as its own listing, taking the overflow or offering a couple a porch of their own. Every family has one person with the place everyone goes. This is that place, and it pays you when you're not there. The master suite gets the sunset three times: from the upper deck, the bed, and yes, the shower. The nearest neighbors are two properties away, and the one directly south is an apple orchard. The house is only part of it. Laid out as a compound from the start, power is already run to the sites, with the remaining acreage platted for more. Grow it, rent it, or leave it wild. Buy the whole thing and you are the association. It's an operating rental, so showings are by appointment and work around guests. Come at dusk if the calendar allows. We'll leave the lights on.
