Lake Effect Lodge is nestled peacefully between two natural wonders of Michigan—rolling sand dunes and verdant woods. This majestic escape is an undisturbed Pure Michigan sanctuary while still being only 3 minutes to the beautiful Laketown Beach, 5 minutes to Saugatuck Dunes State Park, and less than 10 minutes to downtown Saugatuck! The Lodge can sleep up to 12 of your nearest and dearest and is packed full of magnificent amenities. Your search for the perfect vacation rental ends here!

Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast! Lake Effect Lodge is located in the scenic and charming Laketown Township. This area is in the heart of the fruit belt of Michigan and holds the third-highest spot for agriculture production in the entire country! Bring those apple and berry pickin' fingers — you're going to need ‘em! Also, if you didn't already know, Michigan is a HUGE beer-loving state. There are over 10 breweries in the surrounding areas and our sandy soil and close proximity to the lake makes for the perfect hops-growing conditions! A short drive will take you to the creative and cultural centers of Saugatuck & Douglas. Honored by Midwest Living Magazine as 2020’s Best Beach Town, Saugatuck satisfies everyone from young families to refined art collectors to pleasure-seeking party groups. There truly is something for everyone in this lively and thriving hub. Nearby sister city Douglas offers more of the same fun for all ages with a slightly more laid-back vibe. Did I mention the beaches?!? Breathtaking Oval Beach is only a short drive away and Conde Nast Traveler has ranked it in the top 25 best shorelines in the world! That's right, the WORLD! Get active at nearby state parks, take advantage of gorgeous hiking and biking trails and let adventurers try their luck climbing and running down majestic forested dunes lining the shoreline. Incredible Pure Michigan experiences abound, whether you’re a water sport enthusiast, a foodie, or someone seeking a quiet retreat. Pack a swimsuit, a good book, and a healthy appetite for fun—and fine food, of course—and we’ll see you when you get here.
