Perched on a quiet bluff above Lake Michigan, this retreat offers private access to sandy shores and breathtaking views.

Summer days invite swimming, kayaking, and hiking the nearby dunes, while crisp fall evenings and snowy winters are perfect for fireside gatherings and starlit nights.

Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, this home is the perfect retreat for an unforgettable stay. Family and friends can connect, recharge, and experience Michigan’s beauty in every season.

## The space

Driftwood Sands Retreat blends lakeshore charm with the beauty of Lake Michigan. Gather with loved ones in the open living space, share stories around the fire, or enjoy morning coffee on the deck as the waves roll in.

Outside, a wooden footbridge leads across a ravine to your own private 70-step stairway down to the sandy shoreline. Summer days bring swims, sandcastles, and sunbathing, while fall offers colorful hikes and crisp lake breezes. In winter, the fireplace and cozy gathering spaces make the retreat just as magical.

This peaceful setting is designed for connection and adventure. Spend the afternoon hiking local trails, kayaking along the shoreline, or exploring nearby White Lake and Silver Lake. Return home to starlit evenings around the firepit or a home-cooked meal shared at the dining table.

Set on a spacious lot with trees and sweeping lake views, Driftwood Sands Retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and create memories. More than a place to stay, it’s your gateway to the rhythm of the lake year-round.

## Other things to note

★**EVENTS & USAGE**★

We get frequent requests from guests to use our homes for weddings, family reunions, bachelor / bachelorette parties, camping, or other large gatherings. Many of these types of events are high-impact and can affect future guest stays, so we carefully manage them. 

If this is something you are looking for, please reach out to us prior to booking. Deposits, event fees, and other conditions may be required based on the event type, size and request. Should a booking be made prior to a mutual agreement on any additional requirements for the event, our standard cancelation policy will apply.

In the event your preferred dates are already taken, or you are traveling with a larger group, please view our other listings or reach out to us as we provide numerous rental options in the region. 

★**ADDITIONAL SERVICES**★

For an additional fee, we can provide concierge tailored services for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays or weddings. 

🔨 A handyman is available for minor to moderate repairs, 24/7/365. 
🔧 Professional services are available for major repairs, 24/7/365.
🧹 Cleaning services can be performed mid stay for guests who want a hotel experience for an additional cost.

★**PET-FRIENDLY HOME**★

We are a dog (only) friendly home, but maintain a few rules and regulations regarding this. All dogs must be controlled either through a physical leash or with verbal commands so that the dog returns to the owner when necessary. Dogs and owners should both respect the boundaries of the properties and the neighbors use and enjoyment of their own. Guests should ensure that there is no pet waste left in the yards, and all waste is bagged up and removed. Do not leave any animals in the home unattended or uncrated under any circumstance. The home is limited to two dogs, and there may be a fee for these dogs. Guests should thoroughly clean up any shedding or excess fur which may be left in the home so that our cleaning team has a normal turnover without excess or unscheduled work. While we do make every effort to ensure a perfectly clean home, small amounts of fur may be present in the air, settle on the floors or surfaces or may not have been reachable under furniture... an expected, but unfortunate byproduct of being pet friendly. 

★**NO SMOKING INSIDE**★

All of our homes are exclusively no-smoking, of any kind, inside the home. Cigarettes and marijuana are incredibly potent smells for non-users and can have a negative impact on future guests. Evidence of a guest smoking in the house, including the attestment of our cleaning team, will result in a cleaning fee of up to $500.00 to change furnace filters, ozone remediate the air, clean duct work, and clean hard and soft surfaces.

★**DISCLOSURES**★

Our homes feature many amenities which might be seasonally available or would be considered outdoor recreational items. We make every effort to ensure that these items are available for use and in good condition, but mother nature and our previous guests also play a roll in our ability to do so. Items like outdoor furniture, grills, kayaks, canoes, yard games, fire pits and patios are cared for by our team but are stored outside in the elements. There may be leaves, dirt or debris on these outdoor items, and some may have limited use depending on the season and weather patterns. Other items may have experienced use or abuse by previous guests and were not reported as damaged or broken to us, limiting our ability to repair or replace them. As with all short term rentals, our homes can experience wear and tear at an accelerated rate due to heavy use from our guests. We strive to keep our homes fresh and schedule repairs and maintenance as quickly as we can. You may experience new items at our homes that replaced items from our photos which may have been worn or damaged. 

The home is located in a natural setting. Guests may encounter native flora and fauna commonly found in the area, including but not limited to mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, bees, wasps, ants, poison ivy, poison oak, raccoons, squirrels, deer, snakes, birds, and other wildlife. While the property is regularly maintained, the presence of plants, insects, and animals cannot be completely prevented. Guests are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when enjoying outdoor areas, including using insect repellent, wearing appropriate footwear, supervising children and pets, and avoiding contact with unfamiliar plants or wildlife. By booking this home, guests acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with staying in a natural environment.

Exterior maintenance services, including but not limited to lawn care, landscaping, pest control, snow removal, and trash services are essential to maintaining the quality and function of the home and surrounding land. Many of these services are scheduled on a weekly or monthly basis and may require the service provider to alter their planned date and time to work within past, current, or future weather conditions. As such, services may be performed during a guests’ stay.

## The story

⭐️ 5 STAR HOSTS ⭐️

Forest & Flow Retreats focuses on unique homes and experiences so our guests can build memories for years to come. Over 15% of our bookings come from repeat guests, something we are very proud of. As you may have guessed from our name, we target natural properties with water or forest features that create a calm, peaceful and tranquil environment far removed from the hustle of day to day life.

We are avid outdoor enthusiasts and believe in protecting public lands through conservation efforts and the associated funds raised through hunting, fishing, and orv licenses.

We believe our homes and public lands should be a safe space for people from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, gender or ethnicity.

Each year, we donate a portion of our earnings to public land trusts and / or conservation efforts so that our waters and land can be protected for years to come.

We have hosted tens of thousands of guests over the years across our properties, helping family and friends have a memorable experience!

## Guest access

★**GUEST ACCESS**★

Our guests have full access and use of the entire home and surrounding land. If you are unsure where the property lines end, please ask and we can assist! The privacy and safety of our guests and neighbors is very important to us.

Access is provided through a remote digital keypad, controlled through our Ring security system. Parking is convenient and close to the home, we only ask that guests do not park or drive on the lawn. 

As a remotely located, rural home we manage travel times between our properties for turnovers between guests based on expected arrival times and the most efficient routes. Often, we can accommodate an earlier check in, just ask us in the days before your reservation and we will do our best to help!

## What guests say

**4.9 ★ · 50 reviews**

- ★★★★ "The home itself was great for our group. It comfortably slept everyone, had plenty of space, a beautiful beach, and a cozy backyard. We truly enjoyed the property and our weekend there. Unfortunately, my experience with the host, which is a property management company, was much different. When an issue arose before our stay, communication felt inconsiderate and unnecessarily difficult during an already stressful situation. That negative experience has continued after checkout. I paid a required $900 deposit and am still working through Airbnb Support to have it returned. The management company…" — Danielle M., Comstock Park, Michigan, Airbnb, Sep 2026
- ★★★★★ "Had a great stay! Would definitely stay again." — Ben F., Arlington, Virginia, Airbnb, Sep 2026
- ★★★★★ "Very nice home, we enjoyed being so close to the beach and watching the beautiful sunsets!" — Cheryl B., Dearborn, Michigan, Airbnb, Sep 2026
- ★★★★★ "Beautiful stay. We regret booking for just a night." — Samanvay M., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Airbnb, Sep 2026
- ★★★★★ "Beautiful house and while there are other homes nearby, it was very private. The house had everything you would need to feel right at home. The bedrooms are all a really good size with comfy beds. The beach was pristine and beautiful! Natural shoreline in both directions. I've lived in Michigan my whole life and have never witnessed a prettier sunset than we saw during our stay. Yes there are lots of stairs but it was so worth it. Even just walking to the top of the stairs gives a beautiful look out area. We would book this house again in a heartbeat!" — Sharlene S., Kalamazoo, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Great place to stay. Photos look great, but looks even better in real life. Can’t beat the beach and views" — Daniel B., Syosset, New York, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Beautiful location and great host!" — Dominic P, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Vrbo, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Good location for Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Spacious so everyone could have their own room. It's a charming house with a nice view. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening." — Karin F, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Vrbo, Aug 2026
- ★★★★ "Our party had a great time staying on the lake. We had six folks and were excited about having three bathrooms. We loved how close the house was to the water, and the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking items. Robert was very responsive and it was easy to get into and lock the house. When we arrived, one of the bathroom sinks was clogged and one of the main beds had not been remade since the last visitors. We washed the sheets and looked for drano as suggested by Robert. Overall, this placed worked for our purposes." — Jessica W., Salem, Ohio, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Clean, comfortable beds & great beach! We enjoyed our stay." — Cathy Z, Chesterfield, Michigan, Vrbo, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "We had a great stay and appreciated the extra towels and amenities offered. The beach was a great perk of staying there!" — Erin M., East Lansing, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Location, location, location. Taking the stairwell to the beach everyday made my toddlers weeks. Had a great multi generational family gathering here." — Brian S., Denver, Colorado, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "The stairs to the beach were steep. Ok for us but could difficult for some less abled people. We wanted to use the kayaks that were on the beach one day, but the name of another cottage was written on them, so we didn't dare to use them. However, the web site said that kayaks were available. This needs to be more clear. We loved this place! It's quite private, even with 3 other cottages very close and other people use the same stairs to the beach." — ⁨Vicki W.⁩ K., Mattawan, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★ "Overall, we enjoyed our stay! The location is wonderful with great private access to Lake Michigan, and we loved using the outdoor grill firepit, and the games made available like croquet A few quick notes for future stays: *The floors hadn't been swept/mopped upon arrival, so we cleaned them ourselves.Also, We had to run out in the middle of dinner to buy propane. *The A/C was uneven (some rooms stayed warm) a toilet lever/flusher was broken, and the TV and fan remotes didn't fully work well. *A neighbor confronted us about beach property lines. Adding clear boundary would help avoid confusio…" — Daniel M., Warren, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026
