The space
Welcome to Little Arches, one of Fisher 3 Vacation Rentals’ most refined homes — a 5,000-square-foot Grand Beach retreat where architectural charm meets resort-level comfort. Just a five-minute walk from Lake Michigan, this six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home was designed for families, retreats, and executive getaways who value privacy, space, and thoughtful design.
The Heart of the Home
The chef’s kitchen blends timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury, featuring quartz countertops, double ovens, and professional-grade appliances. Just beyond, the three-season room quickly becomes a favorite ritual — coffee in hand, surrounded by treetops and filtered light.

The AGA Stove Experience
One of the most unique features of this home is the classic AGA stove—a beautiful, European-style cooker that brings both charm and function to your stay. Unlike traditional ovens, the AGA is always on, maintaining consistent heat and ready to use at any time. It’s part of what makes this home feel so special and elevated.
How It Works
The AGA operates differently than a standard stove, with each oven designed for a specific purpose:
• Top Oven (Roasting Oven): Hottest oven – perfect for roasting meats, baking pizzas, or crisping dishes
• Middle Oven (Baking Oven): Ideal for baking cookies, cakes, and casseroles
• Bottom Oven (Warming/Simmering Oven): Best for slow cooking, keeping dishes warm, or gentle simmering
The stovetop plates (under the lids) also offer different heat levels:
• One side is high heat (great for boiling or searing)
• The other is lower heat (perfect for simmering)
Since the AGA stays warm at all times, there’s no need to preheat—everything is ready when you are.
Important Notes for Safety
• The oven doors and surfaces are warm to the touch, even when not actively cooking
• We recommend supervising children at all times around the stove
• Please use caution when opening oven doors and lifting stovetop lids, as heat is retained consistently
This stove is truly part of the experience of the home—once you get the hang of it, many guests fall in love with cooking on it. If you have any questions during your stay, we’re always happy to help!
Dine together at the large farmhouse table or gather casually at the island as the space flows seamlessly into the living room, where a fireplace anchors conversation and comfort.
Rest & Recharge
Upstairs, two bedrooms feature private en suite baths, while every room is outfitted with a smart TV and premium bedding. The primary suite sets a serene tone with a king bed, fireplace, sitting area, and patio access — perfect for slow mornings or quiet evenings.
Wellness Wing
A private sauna transforms cold-weather days into spa-like experiences. Step from the warmth of cedar walls into the fresh Michigan air, or settle into the adjacent hot tub — a pairing designed for deep relaxation year-round.
Entertainment & Gathering
The lower level serves as a relaxed leisure lounge with a theater-style TV setup and plush sectional seating. Nearby, the dedicated game room features a pool table, arcade games, and bar seating — an easy gathering place for friendly competition.
A golf cart (coming summer 2026) offers effortless access to the beach, nearby pickleball courts, and the walkable 9-hole public golf course.
The Outdoor Experience
Outside, the property unfolds like a private resort. Enjoy the heated pool (85°, open May–October, heating available for an additional fee), an 8-person hot tub, fire pit, and grill area, all surrounded by mature trees for privacy. Yard games, soft evening lighting, and a quiet setting create an atmosphere that feels relaxed yet elevated.
Design & Details
Originally built in the late ’90s and thoughtfully updated, Little Arches blends timeless architecture with Fisher 3’s signature design sensibility — layered textures, natural light, and finishes chosen for comfort as much as style. Every space feels intentional, warm, and easy to settle into.
The Vibe
Morning sauna sessions. Midday golf. Afternoon swims. Evenings by the fire with a glass of wine. Whether it’s a winter work retreat or a summer family escape, Little Arches is designed to restore. A refined Grand Beach hideaway, thoughtfully crafted and managed by Fisher 3 Vacation Rentals.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire 5,000-sq-ft property—all six bedrooms, 4.5 baths, the sauna, hot tub, game lounge, theater-style basement, and every outdoor amenity.
