Come experience the beauty and tranquility of Michigan's lake life at our stunning lake house. This house was professionally designed by The KarWells. Book your stay today and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The property is located on a dirt road, and although only about a half a mile of your trek will be on unpaved roads, you should have no problem accessing the house. There is a 2 stall garage available for your use, and ample parking for everyone’s vehicles. Our driveway is sloped as well but no problem to get a car up. Should we have a heavy rain, a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
I won't be available in person but you can reach me at any time via Airbnb messaging or phone :) Should you have an emergency both our cleaner and maintenance man live on the lake.
There are hundreds of off roading trails around the lake and in the surrounding area for side by side off-roading or biking. Also less than 5 minutes drive from the cottage is the M-37 meat shack with freshly prepared meats and some of the best jerky selections I’ve ever seen. You have to try the Salmon jerky. This property is lakefront as well - easy access to fishing all summer long. You are also able to bring your own boat and enter from the public dock for fun around the lake. Quiet hours around the lake start at 10pm, so please be mindful of your volume.
There is a dirt road that goes around the entire lake that you’re able to drive on. Bring your bike to enjoy a relaxing ride, as there’s not many vehicles that go around the lake. The house has parking for 6 vehicles.
There are two exterior security cameras on the property. One above the garage door and one on the back door. These are for us to verify cleaners and handymen have prepared the property for your stay!
PETS
We allow up to 3 dogs of 50lb each, for $75 per pet per stay.
At the moment of booking, if you add you bring pets, Airbnb will add the first charge to the booking total, and we will request any additional ones.
If you want to bring more than 3 dogs or any over 50lb, please send us an inquiry, and we will approve on a case-to-case basis, at $150 per pet.

Not available when the dock is winterized, normally November through late April, or early May, depending on the weather!
