About this property

Beautiful and private lake cottage newly renovated from top to bottom on Crooked Lake in Delton, MI. This four bedroom, two full bathroom house is a perfect two-family rental, set up for kids and families with a large yard, almost 80 feet of lakefront, and large patio and deck, and a huge fire pit for bonfires right next to the lake. House has a detached, screened in gazebo for enjoying the outdoors in the evening - without the mosquitos! Brand new dock and boat slip is in for the summer and public lake access is available, so bring your boat! Three one-person kayaks are also available for exploring the lake. When you tire of fishing, swimming, lying on the deck and reading, or playing in the yard with the kids, there is wifi, TV, and games and books for all ages (pack and play and beds with guardrails also available for the little ones). Groceries, liquor, and the fantastic Daily Grind coffeeshop are just a 10-15 minute walk away, and yet the cottage is well off the main road and quiet enough to hear just the crickets and frogs at night. Wake up to an amazing sunrise on a calm glass lake and have a glass of wine watching the deep red sunset from the gazebo at night.
This property is a two story, but has one master bedroom and full bath on the first floor as well as a second master on the second floor, along with two other rooms perfect for kids. Come stay at our relaxing hideaway. You may never want to leave!

Great get a way

Meredith was great as a host, very responsive to some housekeeping issues we had upon arrival. Overall we had a wonderful time at the cottage. It is very well stocked, even provides beach towels. Kids and adults had fun with the kayaks, swimming, the enclosed hammock area was a bit hit also. It is a very nice lake and location. The house cleaners could do a better job- they vacuumed and cleaned bathrooms, but left beds not made well, under the beds, cobwebs, crumbs in furniture, and overlooked cleaning out refrigerator. Meredith was great though and was able to send them back out to the house. My only recommendation is to hire a different cleaning company!

Wonderful Summer Getaway

We loved staying here! The lake was beautiful and the sunsets were picture perfect. After a fun day of boating on the water the hammocks were a great place to sit and relax. The kids had a blast as well.

Wonderful place to stay - had a great time!!!

Lake house was very clean and well stocked with amenities.. The lake was very nice and clean. We caught a lot of fish right from the dock. Sunfish, blue gills and large mouth bass. The living room is a little small, but we all fit in there comfortably. The owner was very responsive and answered all our questions. Would definitley stay there again !!!!

Absolute Awesomeness !!

Great property, has Air Conditoning, gas stove and oven. RokuTV has Netflix Hulu and Disney apps, you just need to login to your account. Beds are comfortable and have blankets. They even provide towels. You get two parking spaces. You get a private fenced beach. There is an island in the lake to kayak to, etc. Great 4th of July fireworks at the lake. Grocery store and gas station are less than 7mins drive. Tennis courts nearby at Hastings Highschool. Holland beach had volleyball courts, a Dutch windmill park, and a cool boardwalk community. Thank you Meredith for sharing your wonderful home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Meredith Lynn Wilson

We are a vagabond family, wife born in Battle Creek, hubs in from New Zealand and kids from everywhere in between. We currently live in Texas and spend part of our summer here, working remotely, so our kids can enjoy Michigan summers and time with their grandparents and cousins.

Why they chose this property

We bought this little place as a refuge from the insanity of our busy lives and a place to have closer to family. We put a lot of love and heart into fixing it up this year and making it our own. We look forward to sharing it with you and your family, and only ask that you treat it with kindness and as you would one of your own properties.
