The park features 50 acres of open space and stunning frontage along Lake Michigan, so it’s easy to see why guests flock here during the summer. In the winter, though, the fun continues.

When snowy weather makes an appearance, visitors can hike or snowshoe along an interpretive trail that winds along a sand dune known as Old Baldy. The scenery is second to none.

The villa sits just a stone’s throw away from Old Baldy itself, so there’s natural splendor just outside your door when you book a stay here. The cabin can sleep up to eight guests.
