About the Town
Lakeside
Lakeside lives up to its name — a quiet, historic village that has been welcoming city dwellers seeking refuge for over a century. The town is characterized by its winding, tree-canopied roads and historic architecture, offering a glimpse into the early days of Michigan resort life.
There is no bustling downtown here; instead, you’ll find a curated collection of antique shops, a historic inn, and a profound sense of peace. It is the destination for those who want to disconnect, read a book on a quiet beach, and appreciate the slower side of the coast.
