The Tree House – A Private Lake Michigan Retreat
Welcome to The Tree House, an exclusive sanctuary nestled in its own private forest along the pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Designed for those who seek seclusion, luxury, and unparalleled natural beauty, this retreat offers an exquisite balance of tranquility and adventure.
Unmatched Privacy & Panoramic Views
The Tree House is set approximately 120 feet from the water’s edge and boasts 168 feet of private beachfront, ensuring an intimate and peaceful lakeside experience. With panoramic views of Petoskey, Charlevoix, Beaver Island, and—on the clearest days—the Fox Islands, guests are treated to a breathtaking display of Michigan’s natural splendor.
We are the second house north of 5 Mile Creek, an ideal location that minimizes foot traffic on the beach from the south. This makes the beachfront feel exceptionally private and serene, perfect for uninterrupted relaxation, quiet morning strolls, and evening bonfires under a canopy of stars.
Endless Activities at Your Doorstep
While The Tree House offers ultimate seclusion, it is also conveniently located near some of Northern Michigan’s most sought-after activities:
Beachfront Luxury – Enjoy sun-soaked days on your private stretch of shoreline, swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan, or unwind with a glass of wine as you watch the magnificent sunsets.
Biking & Scenic Drives – Explore the world-famous Tunnel of Trees, a breathtakingly scenic route that is especially beautiful in the fall.
Water Adventures – Kayak or paddleboard along the coastline, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of Northern Michigan.
Fine Dining & Shopping – Just a 5-minute drive from exceptional restaurants, charming boutiques, and the historic ambiance of downtown Harbor Springs.
World-Class Skiing & Golfing – Only 11 miles from Boyne Highlands and Nub’s Nob, two of the Midwest’s premier ski resorts. In the summer, these same resorts offer championship golf courses, ziplining, and hiking.
Luxurious Day Trips – Venture 19 miles to Bay Harbor, known for its upscale marina, restaurants, and golf courses, or take a 38.9-mile drive to Mackinaw City, where you can board a ferry to Mackinac Island—a timeless retreat with horse-drawn carriages, historic sites, and world-famous fudge.
A Place You Won’t Want to Leave
The Tree House is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a sanctuary that invites you to unwind, reconnect with nature, and indulge in the best that Northern Michigan has to offer. Whether you’re looking for adventure, romance, or peaceful solitude, this is a place that will linger in your heart long after your stay. Beware—it’s a tough place to leave!
Exclusive Rental Terms

Reservations are confirmed on a first paid, first confirmed basis. A 50% deposit of the total rental fee is required to secure your booking.

Summary: Pops and Gigi, 3 kids, 3 spouses, 4 grand kids. Wanted a place on the beach to spend a week being together. The Tree House was perfect.

Summary: Wonderful week in this beautiful location! The house was clean with supplied with everything you could want for a lovely week of downtime. Spacious living and dining areas were a plus. Steps down to the beach are a bit difficult to navigate but it’s a short distance. I think it would be a struggle for an elderly visitor. We loved the kayaks - fabulous beach!

Summary: Amazing beach property in a fantastic location. The home was perfect for our group of 6 adults and two children. Located on a beautiful sandy beach where we spent most of our time during the day and around the beach fire pit making s'mores in the evenings. Would definitely stay again.

Quick and easy access to a full Sandy, no rocks beach with beach chairs, bomb fire pit and kayak. They also provide beach toys, umbrellas and lounge chairs. Beds are very comfortable. Fall asleep to the sound of waves! It’s like being in Caribbean! Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and updated. Family room couch was so comfortable I wanted to bring it home! Perfect family vacation spot close to downtown Harbor Springs! We will be back for sure!

Summary: The tastefully decorated Treehouse was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The beach was perfect—long beach walks each day and swimming. We lounged on the deck each day after enjoying the many sights in the area to enjoy the hummingbirds and soothing sound of the waves. Running on Lower Shore Drive was great—very scenic, hilly, and minimal traffic. We hope to rent it again next year!

Summary: Mary Alice is a fabulous hostess and the house is just like it looks but better. The house is a destination: views of the beach from 2 porches, steps down to a semi-private beach, eagles flying overhead and a perfect setup for family gatherings in the downstairs kitchen, dining room and living room which is attached to a spacious porch balcony. Comfortable beds and a kitchen that has everything you need.
