I'm proud to be from the great state of Michigan. I've lived in the Mitten several different times throughout my life spending time in all corners of it. My journeys took me up and down the Lake Michigan coast, out east to explore Detroit and Ann Arbor, and to the dense forests of the UP.
Before writing with Only In Your State, I worked as a local TV news reporter and anchor, most recently in South Bend. Many of the stories I covered took place in Southwest Michigan. My roots are even deeper in the Wolverine State as I often head to Kalamazoo to visit family.
When I'm not out exploring nature, I'm avidly watching sports. I specifically have a deep love for the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater), and I get to write about them and several other Big Ten teams as and editor for Athlon Sports. I also love to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and our dog, Piper.
I'm excited to share all my favorite Michigan destinations with you. Keep exploring.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
If you’re someone who likes to dig your toes in the water, relax on the beach, and leave your worries at the sliding door, you might be looking for a place to stay that makes this a reality. There are a lot of amazing waterside rentals on our list of Best Places To Stay In Michigan.
This modern beachfront home on Vrbo combines up-to-date amenities with an amazing backyard area. Private beach access is at your fingertips with this beautiful rental in Union Pier, Michigan.
This one-bedroom, two-bathroom home is literally a stone’s throw away from the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. It’s located in the southwest corner of Michigan near plenty of wineries, quaint local businesses, and outdoor activities.
A 60-step staircase will help you descend to the private beach. You’ll find everything you need to kick back including beach chairs and umbrellas.
Once you step through the front doors, it still doesn’t completely feel like you’re inside. Each room delivers stunning views of Lake Michigan. There’s no shortage of natural lighting in this home.
This isn’t your grandma’s cottage either. This home is outfitted with modern furniture and updated to meet contemporary styles.

There is only one true bedroom, but there is also a futon in the sunroom if an extra bed is needed. Along with its own gorgeous perspective of Lake Michigan, this room also comes with a king bed and a master bath.
The master suite shows how this rental still retains its harbor country charm with a woodburning stove right in the middle of it all. This home brings the best of both worlds to our list of the Best Places To Stay In Michigan.
As someone who gets to see a lot of Lake Michigan sunsets, I can personally say this unobstructed perspective of my favorite part of summer speaks for itself. Whether you’re on the beach, on the patio, or viewing from the inside, you won’t miss a single Michigan sunset with these types of views.
Pro-tip for sunsets on Lake Michigan: I always try to time up dinner with the sunset if possible. That setting is probably the main reason grilling is my favorite cooking method, as I routinely pull off this routine several times a summer.
While a dip in the lake waters is a great way to cool down, sometimes a dip in the jacuzzi just hits differently. You can take a soak in the one located on the patio.
This is also a great time to mention that this beach home is available in the winter too. While a beach day might not seem to make much sense when it’s cold out, there’s something magical about these beach towns during the offseason. It almost makes you feel like you’re the only people there.
In conclusion, this view will be your morning, noon, and night backdrop. Imagine the conversations, memories, and moments that will take place with this view tying them all together.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect home base for a family getaway or some peace and quiet to reconnect with someone you love, you won’t have to worry about any distractions at this rental.
This is an area I know well, so if you’re in the mood to get out there are numerous local and state parks, wineries, and breweries, as well as a casino located only minutes away. If you’re looking for food, I highly recommend The Stray Dog Bar & Grill, Redamak’s, or Journeyman Distillery. If you’re booking one of the Best Places To Stay In Michigan, you might as well dine at one of my favorites too.
While the sleeping arrangements here are for a small number of people, you’re welcome to invite guests by to hang out or host a small event if you get approval from the property manager at booking. The more the merrier when it comes to a Vrbo like this modern beachfront home.
