"Tiny House" guest house located under large oak trees near the beach, and not far from I-94 and the Michigan state line. Vaulted ceiling, open feeling. Light and bright décor. Full bathroom, comfy couch, and other amenities. Polished concrete floor, whitewashed shiplap ceiling, hand-crafted oak furniture, suspended shelving. High ceilings, windows with southern exposure, front porch with siting chairs and a grill. Convenient charger for electric cars. Never a cleaning fee.
The space
Newly built guest house using the "tiny house" concept for compact and comfortable living space in one small building. There is a full bathroom with a shower and tub; full-sized refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker; living area with a large couch; and a bedroom area with a double-sized bed. There is not a full kitchen, but there is an area to prepare food with a sink, plates, bowls, utensils, etc. There is no oven or stove, but there is an electric grill for outside use. If there are three guests, one would have to sleep on the couch. Maximum capacity is four, and that would be if two of the people are small children or infants and could sleep with mom and dad or in a crib.
Guest access
The entire space is available for comfort and privacy.
Other things to note
Cable and streaming TV. Fast, reliable WIFI. Electric car charger is $25.
Please note that during the months of April through November there is a two-night minimum set for Friday and Saturday, with check-in on Friday for these two days--that way the weekend doesn't get split up. (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day there is a three-day minimum for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.) Standard check in is at 3:00p, check out at 11:00a. Michigan and the front porch of the Tiny House are 420-friendly :) FYI Beginning in June 2025, there is a house being built on the vacant lot near the Tiny House. I will do my best to mitigate noise or other issues.
