About this property
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. There is a four burner grill to cook 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.

Such a cute property with so many amenities for our group. We took a quick girls trip with my daughters and some friends, and it was a perfect place for this!
Stayed here over Christmas...property had all the feels of home with great amenities! The hot tub was our fave! Great location and very quiet neighborhood.
The Lux Nest is cozy, clean and in a great location. There is so much to do nearby. The bed was very comfortable. Excellent host. We had a wonderful stay!
The house was really nice inside. Hot tub was great for our group. Close to beach, wineries and restaurants. Woukd highly recommend staying at the Lux Nest
The Lux Nest was such a great experience with my family of 5! We made s’mores by the fire pit and relaxed in the hot tub after a long day at the beach! Many memories were made!
We really enjoyed our time at Lux Nest! Patricia was very communicative and had created a binder with instructions, menus, and other materials that made our stay even better. The hot tub was incredible and so appreciated enjoying those jets. The green space in the backyard is very peaceful and swinging on the bench swing near the fire pit was the relaxation that I so needed. I know that the two of us are primed to return to the Lux Nest in the future!
This is the 2nd time renting from Patricia and we'd definitely do it again. The house is perfect for a small family and everything you need to have a great trip and make wonderful memories.
Patricia went way beyond what she had to to make sure our stay was relaxing.
Have stayed at this property several times over the past 4 years and I like the place- hot tub, very nice kitchen, grill, lovely living room. It doesn't have central air but it's ok with the two window acs.
Patricia was in incredible host! She was a great communicator and thought of everything! This property was super close to the beaches and lots of other activities.
It truly felt like a home away from home. Very pleased with the amenities available. Love the updates throughout the house. We look forward to returning one day.
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.
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.
The home has a place for everyone - cozy reading room, comfy basement TV room, hot tub nestled in the woods. Well-stocked kitchen for elaborate meal preparation. Enjoy!
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!
We was minutes for the beach. Had deer and wild turkeys to look at every morning in the front and back yard. Hot tub as very relaxing. The place was very clean and had everything you would need. Was a great getaway for me and my husband. Will be returning.

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!
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!!
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!
Excellent location for enjoying the SW Michigan coast
We stayed for 4 days in August and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the house after fun-filled days at Warren Dunes and exploring the area. The Lux Nest had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, even beach chairs! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub every evening after hiking and hauling all the beach gear our kids think they require. The host is extremely helpful and polite, and there is a binder with great information on both the house and the area. Definitely would recommend it and will try to return!
