THE SPACE Whispering Arbor is a classic 1920s cottage where you’ll immediately feel your vacation spirit rising, thanks to the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the spacious, comfortably furnished home. The living room, with its lush natural lighting and great views, is graced by a wall of windows facing the landscaped front yard, expansive lawn, and tall, mature woods. Want to chill out with a favorite movie or show? Grab a drink and plop down on the cozy couch or in a stylish barrel chair in front of the large flat-screen TV. Hungry for something scrumptious? The recently updated kitchen features high-end appliances and all the utensils and essentials you’ll need to make delicious vacation meals or snacks. We’ve even seen to it that any coffee connoisseurs in your group can enjoy a cup of primo quality, Keurig-made coffee! In fact, the 4-seater dining table is a common gathering spot for a little morning joe and conversation about your vacay plans for the day. There’s also a sweet, nicely furnished 3-season screened porch, where you can relax with a glass of vino and get a closer connection to Mother Nature’s magnificent surrounding woods. Upstairs, you’ll find a nice sitting room area, where you can curl up with a book to your heart’s content. And yes, this vacation rental is pet-friendly—just be sure to mention your pet when you make your reservation.

You’ll also find a set of comfy rattan chairs on the front porch and an inviting deluxe Jacuzzi where you and your guests can soothe yourselves after a long day of exploring. Or get a favorite beverage in hand and sit around the patio’s firepit in the evening, listening to birdsong as twilight turns to night and the stars magically appear in the sky. By the way, if a barbecued meal is desired, check out the fine gas grill on the patio—and chow down. Did we mention a long stretch of Lake Michigan’s fabulous, crystal-sand beach is just a short walk away? Oh, yeah! Besides being surrounded by natural beauty—and super-close to a premier beach—at Whispering Arbor, you can also enjoy the many fun activities afforded by being just a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor, all sorts of woodland, lake, and riverside parks, acclaimed public golf courses, and hiking and biking trails galore.
