Bluffside: Lake Michigan Beach Access, Screen Porches, Fire Pit, Sunset Views
Bluffside at Groesbeck Beach
Bluffside at Groesbeck Beach is a rustic-camp-inspired retreat perched on a bluff with 255 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage. Wake up to the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore, and fall asleep to the same soothing ambience each night. With sweeping lake views from nearly every room, this historic home combines charm and character with modern comforts—original wood floors, a quaint chapel, cozy living spaces, and updated kitchens with marble counters and stainless steel appliances.
Inside, two spacious living areas and two seasonal gas fireplaces offer inviting spots to relax after a day ot adventuring. Sliders open to expansive, two-level screened porches, perfect for morning coffee, reading, or enjoying spectacular sunsets over the water. Enjoy the cool breeze off of Lake Michigan as you enjoy an afternoon snack or an evening beverage.
Outside, the sprawling lawn and fire pit area invite evening s'mores, lawn games, or quiet stargazing. Steps from the home, the warm sand and cool waters of Lake Michigan are ready for beach days filled with swimming, walking along the shoreline, or simply soaking up the sun. Indoor and outdoor dining areas make meals easy and enjoyable, from casual breakfasts to alfresco dinners with the lake as a backdrop.
The beach offers plenty of space for swimming, wading, or building sandcastles, while the rhythmic sound of waves provides a calming soundtrack throughout the day. Step directly from the home down the scenic path to the beach, where the soft sugar sand warms your feet and the cool lake water invites refreshing dips. The bluff above provides some natural shade and a sense of privacy, while the surrounding trees enhance the peaceful, secluded feeling of this lakeside retreat. Whether spending hours basking in the sun, exploring the shoreline, or simply listening to the waves at sunset, the beach offers endless opportunities to relax, play, and soak in the beauty of Lake Michigan.
Just a short drive from Bluffside, the charming towns of Saugatuck and South Haven offer endless opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. Stroll along quaint streets lined with boutique shops, art galleries, and cozy cafes, or discover unique antiques, handmade crafts, and local treasures. Food lovers can savor fresh seafood, farm-to-table meals, or classic Michigan fare at a variety of restaurants, while wine and beer enthusiasts can visit nearby wineries and breweries for tastings and tours. Both towns host seasonal events and festivals, making every visit feel special.
Bluffside is a place where historic charm, modern amenities, and the natural beauty of Lake Michigan come together, offering a lakeside escape full of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
Bluffside can be booked alongside Pine Lodge for larger groups. The homes are located directly across the street from each other.
Please Note - This is a historic home. The original wood floors show many years of love, including paint splatters - just the way we like it! Floors are uneven and there is no AC. However, the views and sounds of Lake Michigan just out your door cannot be beat! There are multiple ceiling fans throughout the home and the most amazing breeze off the lake. We recommend opening the sliders and windows to the screen porch to let the breeze in on warm days. - This home receives water via a well. Due to the high mineral content in our area, this water smells and tastes different than city water. Though the water is safe to drink, those who are accustomed to city water may wish to bring bottled water for drinking. - This property is perched on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The breeze off the lake brings with it remnants of lake water and sugar sand beach. Due to this, the floors get sandy quickly (within a couple of hours of vacuuming). - This home is nestled in a beautiful natural setting where wildlife and insects are part of the charm. Routine pest control services are in place to ensure the comfort of our guests, but on occasion, a curious critter may make its way inside, especially if doors are left open. If you notice any evidence of pests indoors, please notify our office promptly so we can address the situation.

The views of Lake Michigan from this rental are stunning. All bedrooms have a view of the lake. We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch on both floors. There is enough space throughout the house to gather and to get away for alone time. The kitchen had top-of-the-line appliances. The walk down to the beach was much easier than other places along the bluff, and the beach was very relaxing.
