The space
Inside, four fantasy-themed bedrooms (1 king, 3 queens) and 3 full bathrooms await, including an iconic heart-shaped soaking tub for two. The grand sunken living room soars with vaulted cedar ceilings, skylights, and a wood-burning fireplace, anchored by a self-playing grand piano and massive sofas you'll never want to leave. A dedicated home theater with a 4K projector and 120" screen sits alongside a built-in karaoke stage for nights that take on a life of their own. The oversized kitchen is built for groups: double ovens, generous counter space, and room for everyone to gather.

Step outside and soak in your private hot tub beneath a canopy of trees on 3 serene, secluded acres. Two miles from Lake Michigan's beaches, wineries, and shops, yet feels like a world apart.

Heart-shaped details, whimsical touches, and one-of-a-kind furnishings tucked into every room. The kind of place that makes you want to call your friends mid-stay just to show them where you are.

An adults-only retreat for romantic escapes, anniversaries, birthdays, bachelorette trips, and group celebrations. All guests 18 or older, maximum 8 registered guests. Please book with your accurate guest count, additional guest fees apply for groups beyond 2.

Personal vacation photos always welcome. Commercial photography and filming require prior approval. Please review our house rules before booking.
