The Lake House Oasis feels like a true slice of heaven. Nestled between the trees, facing Lake Michigan lies a newly built (2017) lake house. Not to be easily seen from the road, you are greeted with a wide, gravel/dirt driveway. Walking up the short stairway to the beautiful carved glass entrance of the lake house, you'll open the door to a captivating entryway with marble floors. The kitchen (well water) is just to the left, filled with all your basic necessities. Newer appliances: refrigerator, electric stove, dishwasher, coffee maker and even a precision induction cook top Plates, cups, bowls, pots/pans and silverware are all fresh and ready to make your family vacation as easy and comfortable as possible. The Lake House Oasis has plenty of counter-top space, while looking out at beautiful Lake Michigan.
Meander into the dining room with the wooden table for 6 of the people dear to you to enjoy a meal together overlooking Lake Michigan. The gorgeous wood floors compliment the wooden table perfectly. So that the whole family can eat together, the counter doubles as an eating bar with the 4 bar stools facing the kitchen. Keeping the chef company is always appreciated.
Next to the dining room, you'll find the cozy high-top table with 4 chairs. Perfect for your breakfast coffee or evening cocktail. The wet bar in this nook between the dining and living rooms is a wonderful compliment to the space. There are various drinking glasses from margarita, martini and the classic wine glasses.
Moving through the wet bar/ breakfast nook, you never stop overlooking Lake Michigan! The living room has has a comfortable couch with a chaise lounger on one side, There is a working fireplace and TV with Directv, as well as a Blu-ray DVD player to enjoy your time relaxing, when you aren't at the peaceful Lake Michigan sandy beach.

FVR RESPONSE:
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, Kim! It's great to know that you (and your lab) were able to enjoy your stay, though I'm sorry to hear about the slow drains putting a bit of a damper on things. We do our best to keep them flowing well, but due to all the sand there are sometimes buildups. We also appreciate the suggestions for things that could stand to be replaced, and have since addressed those. Hopefully we will get a chance to host another stay with you in the future!

Lake House Oasis is a perfect spot to celebrate the holidays. It sleeps 8 and your pets can come along. If you like to cook, the Lake House Oasis has plenty of counter-top space, while looking out at beautiful Lake Michigan. We hope to work with you again.

Chris, we are honored that your first trip to the UP was at Lake House Oasis, and being directly on Lake Michigan is the best! This cottage was built in 2017 and it includes a washer and dryer. And as you said, fur babies are welcome to stay with their humans. We'll let the owners know your suggestions and get them taken care of. We do hope to see you again.

Linee, thanks for this review. We are happy that you enjoyed Lake House Oasis. Nothing matches being directly on Lake MIchigan with the amazing beaches, sunsets and sunrises. A little bit of heaven. 3 kayaks are included for guests to use. We will work on the water issue and thanks for the heads up on the screens and screen doors. We hope to see you and your pup again.

Heather, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Lake House Oasis. Nothing beats staying right on Lake Michigan, having access to 8 kayaks and allowing your dog to come with you on vacation! Day trips will take you to Mackinac Bridge, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore or Tahquamenon Falls State Park.
