Your Home away from Home

Welcome to the Lux Nest, your home away from home!
Walk into the open concept living room and look through to the chef's kitchen. The kitchen boasts a induction stove-top, convection oven, disposal, and flexible seating.
Head into the master bedroom, furnished with a king-size bed, two nightstands and lamps, and a flat screen television for streaming your favorite shows. The second bedroom has a bunk beds: twin size over full size to accommodate kids and teens.
Take a look into the vintage bathroom with original fixtures and tile.
Go out the side door in the kitchen and check out the breezeway. It is set up for conversations and game playing for times when you don't want to be outside or inside... it's the perfect compromise!
Now head downstairs to the fully furnished basement! The reclaimed barn wood walls surround two areas. On one side, there is a queen size bed with side tables, and a chair and ottoman, perfect for reading a juicy novel. There is also a table and chairs in case a game is in order. The other side of the basement has a futon that folds down into a full size bed and a comfy sofa facing a flat screen television equipped with limited cable and full streaming capability.
Through the basement door is the laundry room with a washing machine, dryer, and laundry sink so you don't have to head home with dirty clothes.
Now head back upstairs and into the back yard. First thing you might notice is the hot tub partially surrounded by a counter to rest your drinks. There is a four burner grill with a side burner to grill up your perfect dinner when you don't want to head out to the nearby restaurants. There is plenty of room for the kids to play: climb the gorgeous tree, head down into the ravine and explore the creek, sit in the double swing chair and look for wildlife. Build a fire in the fire pit and roast marshmallows, tell stories, and sing songs. Did I mention the hammocks? Perfect for napping and reading.

Patricia communicated well before we arrived, during, and after we checked out. She was very nice and her place was great. She had lots of extras in the kitchen which was fully equipped. We would recommend Lux Nest.

Such a cute property
We had a wonderful time at the Lux Nest! The home was so well taken care of, and had everything my family would need, and more. Even the little things you always forget while on vacation! My kids loved all the boardgames and it was nice having an area for them and an area for adults to enjoy as well. Would definitely recommend for any family, big or small!

Girl time at the beach
My teen daughters and I had a wonderful stay at Patricia’s. They enjoyed the basement space to hang out, the hot tub to relax in and the cozy hammocks under the trees. Patricia was very communicative and helped with any questions we had. The place was clean and comfortable and decorated so cute! Highly recommend!

Cozy Getaway!
This house was a cozy home away from home that was even nicer than the pictures! The hot tub was great for relaxing, and the kids loved the climbing tree. Host was very communicative and a gracious. Check in was a breeze. I wish we had been able to walk to the beach, but the Warren Dunes access pass made it easy enough for us to get out whenever we wanted.

Lake Michigan get away
We stayed three nights and The Lux Nest and it was the perfect get away for our family! The house is well equipped, especially the kitchen. Every where you looked there were little details that made you feel at home. The host was very communicative and it felt like she really cared about making our stay comfortable. Even sending links to some of her favorite spots for food and ice cream. We will definitely be back. This place was absolutely perfect!!

Such a great getaway!
This is our second time staying at the Lux Nest and it never disappoints. We love the proximity to so many fun things like Warren Dunes State Park, dune rides in Saugatuck, and lots of great restaurants. After a day at the beach we’d come back to relax in the hot tub and end the evening watching a movie in the cozy basement. Patricia is a very gracious host and an excellent communicator. The home is furnished with everything you need to make your get away comfortable. We always enjoy our stay and hope to be back again soon!

Great location
This is our second time staying in the Lux nest. We love the location to Warren Dunes, the multiple bedrooms, and all the updates. The window ac units in the bedroom were plenty to keep the whole house cool and comfortable during a very hot Labor Day weekend. Patricia is quick to respond and was incredibly helpful when we had questions about a few things. We will definitely be back for a third time!
