Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. This 5th wheel travel trailer "Bluewater Beach" sits on 435’ of Lake Michigan shoreline next to the boat launch at Fairport Fishery.
This waterfront location is located in the scenic fishing village of Fairport, Michigan, roughly 5 miles South of Fayette State Park. The travel trailer is located on a lakefront lot (between our home and Fairport Fishery (boat launch and fish processing facility).
Bluewater Beach is the perfect couple’s camper with a private bedroom, and it is also suitable for families as it does sleep up to four people. It includes a bathroom, shower, and vanity, a bedroom with a queen size bed, ample storage in all rooms, a pull-down couch, and a dinette table that converts to a bed. It also includes a rocking chair, dinette, and spacious living/kitchen area. It is plugged into an electrical outlet (no generators needed or allowed) and is plumbed to well water. All bed linens, pillows, comforters, sleeping bags, kitchen & bath towels are provided, as well as a limited supply of paper towels, toilet paper, tin foil, etc. The kitchen includes ample counter space, brand new fridge with freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dish soap, coffee pot (includes complimentary coffee), toaster, and anything you might need to make a meal, including all brand-new cutlery, dishes, pots, pans, and cups. We also provide cooking oil, seasonings, and utensils. Heat, air conditioning, hot and cold water, grill and propane (provided by us), and free Starlink wifi included.
Outdoors, there is a grill, firepit, chairs, and a picnic table. You only need to bring your kindling, firewood, groceries and clothes! The travel trailer is fully equipped and available to rent by the night (2 night min.), the week, the month, or the season. There is plenty of room for parking trucks and boat trailers. Lake Michigan is great for swimming, fishing, and boating during Summer. Our Fall colors are spectacular!
The beach is rocky so water shoes are recommended. It's a great place to sit next to the lake and watch the boats and wildlife! The water is crystal clear and great for snorkeling and swimming.
The travel trailer sits on a lot that has woods in the back and the lake in the front. There are three campers on the lot, but only the 435' of lake frontage and the kayaks are shared- all units include their own outdoor amenities and have ample private areas. You will receive a welcome guide prior to your arrival. We live on the property next door should any issues arise.
We live on the property next door and my family's commercial fishing business is next door as well. If you need assistance, you can message through airbnb. We do have a White Lab (Daisy) and a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix (Peanut) who are supposed to stay in our yard, but may wander to the adjacent property- we will try to prevent that from happening.
Other things to note:
There are multiple islands to boat or kayak around. If you don’t have a boat, you can also fish from shore or from multiple docks. You can sit on the beach and watch the commercial fishing boats, bald eagles, swans, pelicans, geese, and a variety of ducks. The beach is somewhat rocky so water shoes are recommended. The Lake Michigan water is crystal clear and great for snorkeling or catching crayfish. Other wildlife commonly seen in Fairport include whitetail deer, rabbits, fox, and turkeys. Stargazing is popular here and you may even see the Northern Lights!
Activities in Fairport include: fishing, biking, swimming, boating, kayaking, atv riding, and hiking.
There are several parks within an hour’s drive, including the famous Kich-iti-kipi (Big Springs). Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, on Lake Superior in Munising, is 68 miles from Fairport.
