Chapman's Chapter: Lake Michigan Beach Access, Screen Porch, Pet Friendly

Chapman's Chapter

Welcome to Chapman’s Chapter - a majestic lake house where generations of memories have been made, and now it’s your turn to write the next chapter.

Nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan, this stunning retreat offers breathtaking views, a private beach, and the perfect setting for multi-family getaways, family reunions, or corporate retreats.

With plenty of space for everyone, the home has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its timeless charm.

The fully remodeled kitchen provides a bright and welcoming space to gather, whether for a formal meal in the dining room, a quick bite at the snack bar, or a peaceful breakfast on the screened porch overlooking the lake. The soaring ceilings in the living room frame a breathtaking wall of windows, seamlessly blending the warmth of the indoors with the beauty of nature just outside. The main level also features a beautifully designed primary ensuite with a king bed and a walk-in shower, making it ideal for those who prefer to avoid stairs.

Upstairs, four more bedrooms and two additional bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations for your group. A second primary ensuite boasts a king bed, a private balcony with sweeping lake views, and a full bathroom with a shower. Another queen ensuite offers its own private bath with a tub-shower combination, while a third queen bedroom features its own balcony overlooking Lake Michigan. The fourth bedroom is a bunk room, perfectly suited for kids or extra guests, with twin beds, a bunk bed, and a daybed with a trundle. A newly updated bathroom with an oversized double vanity and a separate walk-in shower ensures that everyone has space to get ready.

Outside, the expansive yard invites you to play, picnic, or simply relax with your loved ones. The bluffside deck is the perfect spot to take in the golden hues of a Lake Michigan sunset, and the fire pit awaits for cozy evenings under the stars, complete with s’mores and storytelling.

New in 2024, private beach stairs lead you down to the sugar-soft sand, where days can be spent basking in the sun, splashing in the waves, or searching for the perfect skipping stone.

Whether you’re here to reconnect with family, celebrate a special occasion, or simply escape the everyday, Chapman’s Chapter offers an unforgettable experience in one of the most beautiful settings along Lakeshore Drive.

A short drive brings you to the charming towns of Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, Glenn, and South Haven, where you’ll find boutique shopping, incredible dining, wineries, breweries, and endless opportunities for adventure.

From summer days on the beach to cozy autumn retreats by the fire, this is a place where memories are made—one chapter at a time.

Please Note:
This home is on a septic system. Please do not flush anything other than toilet paper. Flushing other items, such as feminine products, will result in a sewage backup into the showers. Please only flush toilet paper.
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. Those who are accustomed to city water may wish to bring bottled water for drinking.
Please take care when in the yard near the bluff and keep an eye on children and pets. Due to erosion, the bluff is very steep.
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 third-story loft is not included in the rental of this home. For the safety of you and your guests, the plywood stop must remain on the loft ladder at all times. If this space is used, you are doing so at your own risk and an additional fee will be charged.

We enjoyed our stay at the Chapman chapter house with our four adult children and their significant others! The bedrooms were spacious as was the kitchen. The beach was beautiful and the patio on the bluff was perfect for sunset viewing. The stairs are no joke but we are all able-bodied so it was no problem. We had everything we needed. We also took advantage of the beautiful roads for biking and running. The house had a sweet cabin feel, yet modern enough. We loved the book about the history of the house. Very interesting!
