Forget the hotel, there's no way a hotel can give you this kind of a view for a couple hundred bucks a night.

The town of Oostburg is located along the shores of Lake Michigan, about an hour north of Milwaukee. Like any Midwestern lake town, Oostburg is dotted with houses along the shore. Some big, some little, but they all share amazing views.

You can stay at one of these lake houses in Oostburg with a rental on Airbnb.

The house itself is very unassuming from the driveway. A small ranch-style house with a dirt path connecting it to the street.

Pine and birch trees block your view of what you can see once you finally get to the house.

The reverse view of the property from the lake's perspective is far more enticing.

Included with the rental is unlimited use of this completely private beach on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Pretty much every room in the house affords a panoramic view of the lake.

Large windows in the living room means that you can enjoy the view no matter what the temperature is outside.

You're in luck if the weather is nice. That's because of the enormous wooden deck that sits behind the house. The perfect place to build a fire, have some drinks and watch the sun set while looking at the lake. AKA The Perfect Wisconsin Evening.

The house sleeps 5 adults and only runs for $225 a night. You'll spend that much on pretty much any decent hotel room in a big city.

But why stay at a hotel when you can grab a view like this at the same price? You'll want to book ASAP because the weekends get sold out fast.
