Watch colorful sunsets over the lake from the comfort of the deck and newly remodeled cabin with an open floor plan, large kitchen great for entertaining and flexibility to sleep up to 9 guests with 3 bedrooms and a pull-out couch. This cabin has everything you need to relax with your family and friends. Amenities include a Smart TV, wi-fi, a washer/dryer, two full size refrigerators, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker, a regular coffee pot, crock pot. etc.
Imagine sitting on the deck watching your family and friends play yard games on the large, flat lawn and then joining them for a bonfire near the lake. If the evening gets chilly, you can continue your conversation and play cards/games in the screen house that we lovingly named the Bahrzebo. East Battle Lake is known for its clear water which makes it a wonderful place for fishing, swimming, water sports and boating. Provided is a Maui Mat for water fun.

For your safety as well as ours we have installed camera doorbells at the front and back doors. No cameras are located inside the cabin.

Thanks Michael!
The nice thing about being on the east side of the lake; we do get some fabulous sunsets!
I am glad you enjoyed the use of the pontoon as well!
You are welcome back anytime!
We loved our stay here! The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Owner was great to work with and easy to get ahold of/answer any questions we had. We will definitely be back next summer.
House was nice sized for our group. The owner was very helpful and the location was great. We enjoyed the large yard by the lake (when it wasn't raining) and the shed when it was.

Hey Addie,
I am excited you had a great time at the cabin.
Having the screened building by the lake definitely allows for versatility when the weather is not cooperating. I would love to have you back again!
Nice, clean property with gorgeous sunset views! Could not swim off the dock due to weedy bottom, but we took the kayaks, paddle board and pontoon out to enjoy the water. Property offers plenty of outdoor games as well!

Thank you, Kathryn!
I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
I am looking to add a water fan or two, to clear out an area for swimming by the dock. Hopefully I am able to do it next spring!
Thanks James!
The lake has always been a good fishing lake.
It is always great to have returning guests!
Enjoy the rest of your summer.
All the best to you and your family!

Not only was this property well kept and comfortable, Mother Nature provided us with picture perfect weather for 10 days. We enjoyed being lazy—sitting on the deck and soaking up the sun. Kitchen is fully furnished and big. Bed was heavenly. We look forward to returning.

Thank you Jeanne for the positive feedback!
I am always looking to make improvements so my guests experience the same love for the lake and cabin as I do!
I look forward to having the two of you return next year!
We enjoyed our stay at this clean, well stocked, nicely decorated lake home. The kitchen had everything we needed, down to chilled beer mugs awaiting us in the freezer and fire pit skewers for our hot dogs!! Access to the lake was easy and we appreciated the boat lift access. Dale communicated clearly and was responsive and helpful no matter what our questions or needs were.

Needing a quick getaway, we chose this home with a Great Lake view. The drive up was great and the time spent in the home was pleasant. The lake view was perfect. We would definitely book again.

Wonderful Property, Beautiful Fishing Lake, Great Hosts
We were very impressed with our stay. We loved the property and the private feel of East Battle Lake. The host Dale was great about communication and answering any questions we had in a timely manner. My family and I would recommend a stay here, especially if you like fishing. The fishing was great, even right off the dock.

Thank you Kathryn.
You are right, East Battle Lake is a good sized lake with a very private feel. There is public access, but it is typically just the residents of the lake that use it. We think it is a hidden gem!
When I was a kid, we would come to East Battle Lake and the fishing has always been productive!
Kathryn, I welcome you and your family back anytime to enjoy the cabin and the lake!
