Explore the lakeshore like a local
Our homes sit in six of West Michigan's best beach towns. These are the beaches, dune trails, wineries, and tables we actually send our guests to — updated by the people who live here.
From New Buffalo to Muskegon, the lake sets the pace
Every Fisher 3 home was chosen for what's outside the front door as much as what's inside it. Follow the shoreline north from the galleries of Saugatuck to the marinas of Muskegon Lake — or inland to Fennville's orchards and vineyards — and you'll never run out of reasons to extend the trip.
Pick your beach town
Muskegon and Norton Shores sit ten minutes apart on Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan, so they share one guide.

The lakeshore, season by season
There's no wrong month on this coast — but each one rewards a different kind of trip.
Summer
Peak beach season. Public beaches run Memorial Day–Labor Day; arrive before 11am on July weekends, and book pool homes months ahead. Pools at our stays run Memorial Day through September.
Fall
Our favorite. Wine harvest in Fennville, U-pick apples at Crane's, color-soaked dune hikes, and hot tubs that finally make sense. Crowds thin out after Labor Day but the water stays warm into October.
Winter
Snow-dusted dunes, frozen pier photos, quiet tasting rooms, and firelit game rooms. Saunas, theaters, and indoor fireplaces across the collection were built for exactly this.
Spring
Blossom season in the orchards, Tulip Time in Holland each May, and shoulder-season rates on big homes. Pack layers — lake-effect weather keeps things interesting until June.
