About this property

Beautiful Lake Front property on Fine Lake. Summer/ Winter enjoyment

This family home has a large, comfortable living area that is ideal for gathering and enjoying the entire family. Boasting a beautiful lakefront view from the porch and a large lawn leading to the lake that allows for fun and games. This home has been updated with standard living comforts, as we use it ourselves seasonally, but there is no cable TV since we consider it a retreat from the world. We DO leave an HDMI cord or you can bring a fire stick or stream from your computer to watch movies. Our house is a little quirky and we keep condiments in the fridge and a few staples in the cupboards for when we visit. Feel free to use what you need. Please, no parties without prior permission as we like to be courteous to our neighbors. We expect you to respect our family space.

In the warmer months, enjoy a peaceful dinner and sunset down by the water at the outdoor dining table, and games around the dining table in the evening. The shallow waterfront is ideal for swimming and cooling off in the summer heat. We offer two Kayaks for guest enjoyment. Fine Lake is great for fishing, with plenty of bluegill, bass, perch, and walleye. We are an all-sports lake with a public boat launch located next to the Fine Lake Party Store. You can fish from a boat or you can fish right off the dock! Minimal effort is needed to catch fish in this lake.

In the cooler months, you will see ice fishermen on the frozen lake. Snowmobile trails and cross-country skiing are available at the Fort Custer recreation area 20 minutes south. There is always something to do, no matter the time of year!

Walk to Fine Lake Party Store the Banfield General Store is within 5min of the home so you can replenish essentials (the general store has great cookies!). The town of Battle Creek is only 20 minutes away and Kalamazoo is roughly 30 min. Battle Creek has several nice restaurants and breweries, as well as attractions like Binder Park Zoo, the Leila Arboretum, and several museums. The Gilmore Car Museum is 10min west of the property, and the Mooville Creamery is ~25 minutes down the road, where you can enjoy ice cream and outdoor fun with the family. Additionally, each year the city of Battle Creek hosts an air show and hot air balloon festival that draws hundreds of visitors to enjoy the mesmerizing event.

Happy to answer any questions.

Great weekend getaway

Had a group of guys for a long weekend to play the Gull Lake courses. This was the perfect location. House was nice and appropriate for our group of 4. Neighbors were very nice, and the extra large kitchen table made for some wonderful card games and bourbon drinking. Very relaxed and comfortable place to stay. Oh, and owner was spectacular in communication!!!

Unfortunately the owners were unresponsive when trying to communicate with them. Recent severe weather had forced the closure of most places in the area for the weekend, so without power to much of the area we reluctantly decided to leave on the first night of the stay.

Getaway at Fine Lake

Lovely, clean home on Fine Lake. Comfortable beds, lots of room and everything to make a home-away-from-home. Good communication with property manager. More detailed instructions would have helped for check-in process. Did not have time to use any of the 'lake toys' available (sad). Thanks for a wonderful getaway...

Beautiful Location

This is a beautiful property. It is well appointed and in a great location. We loved seeing the family photos and history. There were good books available to read. There is no cable or tv service. That was fine because we all unplugged and enjoyed our visit. The only drawback is that it had a very strong cat litter box smell that did not go away even after opening the doors to air it out. A good enzyme cleaner would clear that up.

Wonderful weekend get away!

First let me say that the owners of this property are awesome! We had great communication up to and during our stay. The home was lovely and provided anything you could possibly need, including lake "toys". The lake itself was so calm, clean and warm and the scenery was beautiful. I had thought that not having cable TV would be an issue but I was wrong. It was a perfect place to disconnect and enjoy beautiful days and bonfire nights. This is definitely a place that we will put on our list to visit again. Thank you so much Brett and Lisa!

Disappointing

The carpets were filthy, it stunk like mildew. None of the TV’s worked. The water was hard and smelled like sulfur, so you stunk like rotten eggs when you got out. If I could of cancelled the 2nd night I would have.

Disappointing is a understatement

We arrived at this rental in the late afternoon, Once we got into the cottage, we were met with sheets and towels laying on the floor, unmade beds, dirty bathrooms (including a swimsuit hanging on the shower. The dinning room table was dirty, The floor was dirty. There was food in the fridge. There was a live cricket on the sofa. It smelled musty. Outside, the area between the lake and the house looks like it hadn't been cut or trimmed; There was structural damage to the side of the house. I sent an immediate email to Mark on the VRBO sites and never heard from him. Seeing as we drove our classic cars, a neighbor was out looking at them and he gave us the phone number of a person that I assume was the owner. She was appalled and said she would see what was going on. She did call back to say the cleaning staff was not answering their phone. I still hadn't heard from Mark yet. I told Lisa that we had seen enough and wanted a total refund. She did call back to say the cleaner was on her way over to do their job, but we had already booked rooms in Battle Creek. Should there be any disputes to the conditions, I will be happy to share pictures. If there was a zero rating, I would have given it.

Needs some tlc

I’m struggling with this review because while we had a nice stay, we had so many issues from the very start that I ultimately feel we did not get our money’s worth out of the property. The inside was very clean, but didn’t have any trash bags or extra toilet paper until I reached out to the owner to find them tucked away inside a closet that was labeled for owner’s only. The upstairs sink had an issue with the plug that my husband had to fix on our first night there. We also had a mice eat some treats off the kitchen counter one night. The outside is what we really had issues with. There is a bunch of broken glass along the side of the house, the yard was covered in branches that fell from the trees, the dock was covered in goose poop that hadn’t been cleaned off in a while, the second kayak was so dirty and the seat so ratty no one wanted to use it, and the concrete steps were so covered in ivy vines that my mother almost tripped badly on them. The biggest disappointment was the grill made an audible tearing sound when I lifted the lid because the cobwebs were so thick and it clearly hadn’t been cleaned after the last use. Our family was unable to grill the tomahawks we had bought specifically for the trip. The owner responded quickly and nicely, but there was no action taken besides saying he would have to talk to his yard guys and house cleaners. I hope he gets it sorted because without all of these issues, it would be a lovely property.
