Lagom Sunset Retreat: Hot Tub, Lake Michigan Beach, Home Theater, Sunset Views

LAGOM - Sunset Retreat

Hip mid-century modern meets rustic log cabin with stunning lakefront views, private hot tub, home theater, Lake Michigan beach access, and more!

There is a unique Swedish and Norwegian term - lagom (LAH-gum) - that is the inspiration behind the name of this special property along the bucolic shores of Lake Michigan. It describes an ethereal way of life that is “just the right amount,” “in balance,” and “perfect-simple.” It also explains the harmonious state of mind you and your guests will experience at this one-of-a-kind, meticulously renovated log cabin with a cool, modern Scandinavian vibe—no matter the season.

The first thing you’ll notice is the trendy interior which has been lovingly and thoughtfully remodeled from top to bottom (2020) with the enjoyment of you and your guests as a top priority: fresh new carpet, paint, and custom wallpaper; a finished lower level with a spacious home theater; and an upgraded chef’s kitchen with quartz counter tops, a cozy coffee corner, and a full-size dishwasher to make cleanup a breeze.

The kitchen-adjacent dining area features a large table that comfortably seats eight and encourages daily communal meals. Flow easily into the cozy living room where you will adore the two-story soaring ceilings, curl up with a good book next to the wood-burning fireplace, or simply sit back and relax in the hanging chair.

When it’s time to retreat for the evening, the main level has a convenient queen bedroom and full bathroom perfect for those who rather not do stairs. Otherwise head upstairs to the lofted master bedroom. This space overlooks the living room below, but still provides a sanctuary away from it all. The electric fireplace is perfect for creating ambiance and the hammock is the ideal place for an afternoon nap. The upper level also has a queen guest room with electric fireplace and a full bathroom.

The finished lower level is an ideal hideaway. Relax and enjoy the latest movie or catch the big game in the comfortable home theatre complete with a Roku setup allowing you to sign into a variety of your favorite streaming services.

The outside space at Lagom is a true gem. Take in Mother Nature’s expansive, breathtaking sunsets and sunrises while you soak away your worries in your own private hot tub on the covered back porch. Once you’re completely relaxed, saunter down to the blufftop fire pit to gather with your loved ones, roast s’mores, and clink glasses while watching the lightning bugs, snowflakes, or fall leaves float by as if in slow motion.

If Lake Michigan is calling your name, the association access point is directly next door. Desend the steps to the sugar sand beach where you can stroll for miles along the coast, take a dip in the refreshing water, or squish your toes in the sand while you sit and meditate.

After you’ve worked up a healthy appetite, head back to the home to prepare a hearty lunch on the spacious bluffside deck overlooking Lake Michigan in all her greatness.

Now that you’ve explored the immediate grounds of Lagom, venture out with a quick drive to Saugatuck, Douglas, South Haven, or Holland. These charming cities are all located within a 30-minute drive and provide the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the popular restaurants, imbibe at a local winery or brewery, shop amongst the eclectic boutiques and art galleries, hunt for treasurers at the many antique shops and roadside farm stands, attend a seasonal event like the Holland Tulip Festival or Douglas Halloween Parade, or take in an exciting live performance at one of the many local theaters. Or explore the surrounding water and land by kayaking, paddle boarding, or taking a hike at a local state park, wildlife sanctuary, or sand dune.

This is you enjoying the lake life of Pure Michigan to its absolute fullest and we think you’ll agree after staying at Lagom, that it’s not only a place but a feeling - one that will stay with you long after you leave.

This home is receives water via a well. The water is filtered and softened, but will still be very different tasting and smelling than city water.

The bluff overlooking Lake Michigan is quite steep in this area. Please take care when accessing the bluffside deck.
This home is tucked in the woods along the lake. It is common to see animals, mice, bats, and other vermin. The property is serviced monthly by a professional pest company, but sometimes vermin do sneak in. Please let us know right away if you see evidence of anything inside and we will send out pest control. No rate adjustments can be made for vermin in or around the house. Make sure to keep the doors closed at all times or the wildlife may let themselves in.
