Envolée - escapade plage du lac Michigan !

Escape to our enchanting 1950s beach bungalow - "Up, Up & Away." Its name derives from the feeling you have while sitting atop of the dune - overlooking the cool, blue water and warm sands of Lake Michigan. This home is perfect for your summer vacation or your getaway during the cooler seasons. Overlooking the beach and within an hour of Chicago, Apple Orchards, Wineries or Notre Dame.

Up, Up & Away is the place to relax and unwind. 

This meticulously updated home provides a perfect blend of vintage allure and modern comfort. Step inside to discover original hardwood floors, a newly tiled kitchen, and four cozy bedrooms offering a haven after your beach adventures.

The elevated deck boasts panoramic views of Lake Michigan in every season, while front and back grass yards provide space for relaxation and entertainment while you grill. Unwind by the Solo fire pit, perfect for family marshmallows and storytelling. The 7-person Sundance hot tub on the lakeside, provides the perfect amenity for your getaway in any season! The house features updated decor, central air, new electrical and insulation, ensuring a safe, snug retreat year-round. 

There are 3 small bedrooms in the cute original upstairs and an additional bedroom with bunk beds on the main floor. The ceilings on the main floor are tall with original wooden beams, and the upstairs ceilings are lower - a nod to the original function of this beach bungalow and simpler times. Each floor has a full bathroom; the upstairs full bathroom is smaller than the main floor. We will even provide a "Maui mat", beach wagon and beach chairs for your days down at the beach. 

A built-in breakfast nook off the kitchen and a four-season porch with floor-to-ceiling windows create inviting spaces to sip your morning coffee or tea while getting lost in the view of the lake or play cards into the night! Just a stroll down the road takes you to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. With parking for 2-3 cars and unlimited street parking on Lakeshore Drive, this beach getaway promises a timeless retreat for your next vacation. Book now and embrace the charm of lakeside living!

It's up to you, either at the beach, or on the back deck - NEVER MISS A SUNSET while on vacation at Up, Up & Away!
