Your Home away from Home

Welcome to the Lux Nest, your home away from home!
Walk into the open concept living room and look through to the chef's kitchen. The kitchen boasts a induction stove-top, convection oven, disposal, and flexible seating.
Head into the master bedroom, furnished with a king-size bed, two nightstands and lamps, and a flat screen television for streaming your favorite shows. The second bedroom has a bunk beds: twin size over full size to accommodate kids and teens.
Take a look into the vintage bathroom with original fixtures and tile.
Go out the side door in the kitchen and check out the breezeway. It is set up for conversations and game playing for times when you don't want to be outside or inside... it's the perfect compromise!
Now head downstairs to the fully furnished basement! The reclaimed barn wood walls surround two areas. On one side, there is a queen size bed with side tables, and a chair and ottoman, perfect for reading a juicy novel. There is also a table and chairs in case a game is in order. The other side of the basement has a futon that folds down into a full size bed and a comfy sofa facing a flat screen television equipped with limited cable and full streaming capability.
Through the basement door is the laundry room with a washing machine, dryer, and laundry sink so you don't have to head home with dirty clothes.
Now head back upstairs and into the back yard. First thing you might notice is the hot tub partially surrounded by a counter to rest your drinks. There is a four burner grill with a side burner to grill up your perfect dinner when you don't want to head out to the nearby restaurants. There is plenty of room for the kids to play: climb the gorgeous tree, head down into the ravine and explore the creek, sit in the double swing chair and look for wildlife. Build a fire in the fire pit and roast marshmallows, tell stories, and sing songs. Did I mention the hammocks? Perfect for napping and reading.

Great location
This is our second time staying in the Lux nest. We love the location to Warren Dunes, the multiple bedrooms, and all the updates. The window ac units in the bedroom were plenty to keep the whole house cool and comfortable during a very hot Labor Day weekend. Patricia is quick to respond and was incredibly helpful when we had questions about a few things. We will definitely be back for a third time!

Excellent location for enjoying the SW Michigan coast
We stayed for 4 days in August and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the house after fun-filled days at Warren Dunes and exploring the area. The Lux Nest had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, even beach chairs! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub every evening after hiking and hauling all the beach gear our kids think they require. The host is extremely helpful and polite, and there is a binder with great information on both the house and the area. Definitely would recommend it and will try to return!
