About this property

❤️ Lakefront Walkout Cottage, Beach, Dock, Kayaks, Sunsets on Pine Lake! 🐚🐟

Welcome to our charming lakeside retreat on Pine Lake, boasting an expansive 210+ feet of windswept beachfront facing the serene north and west, offering breathtaking sunsets. Our property features a lovely dock, perfect for summer relaxation, and a swim area with predominantly sandy and river rock terrain. Open year-round, this cottage is equipped with central heating and air conditioning, ensuring comfort in all seasons. Whether you're a small family, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or retired individuals, this clean, cozy, and child-friendly cottage is an ideal choice.

Savor the pleasures of lakeside living with campfires, soothing sounds of boats and waves, laughter, and invite family and friends over for swimming or cocktails. Your stay also includes two Pelican kayaks and several adult and kiddo life jackets. A spacious 20ft x 20ft deck is only 8 steps up from the water, and features a grill, table, and chairs for your enjoyment.

Pine Lake offers year-round fun, with vibrant fall foliage, and in winter, you can access the frozen lake from the property to enjoy activities like ice-skating, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and sledding. The lake is conveniently located just 25 minutes from Bittersweet Ski Resort. Pine lake has 2 public boat launches and a place to rent boats.

Inside the cottage, you'll find two cozy bedrooms. One of them doubles as a four-season room with a comfortable futon and some of the best views in the house, while the other bedroom offers a king-sized bed.

For your convenience, there's an attached three-car garage, with the first garage space included in your rental.

Additional information about your stay:

If you wish to rent kayaks, boats, or paddleboards, you can inquire with Pine Lake Boat and Motor.

Pine Lake has a public boat launch, and our dock can accommodate boats under 30 feet in length. The 660-acre lake offers excellent fishing opportunities, including panfish, bass, and northern pike.

If you rearrange furniture during your stay, kindly return it to its original position before checkout.

For extra accommodation (if you have a seventh person), the living room chair transforms into a small twin-size bed.

The dock is typically removed in late October and reinstalled in late April. If you are staying close to those timeframes, please confirm whether the dock will be available during your stay.

While we welcome dogs, please keep them outside the main house (in the breezeway or garage) due to severe allergies. If they are hypo-allergenic, and dry then they can be in the house but keep them off the furniture. Nearby kennels are available, and kindly clean up after your pet.

For security, we have cameras at the front entryway and inside the two-car garage (excluded from the rental).

Smoking or vaping indoors is strictly prohibited.

If you have children or babies staying, kid-friendly rentals are available or just ping the owner

You can purchase extra campfire wood; simply contact the owner.

Lessons in waterskiing, zup-boarding, and wakeboarding (excluding surfing) are available for purchase during certain times of the year; contact the owner to arrange.

Lawn care occurs weekly, typically on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

In winter, snow removal occurs throughout the day whenever a few inches of snow accumulate.

Please be aware that neighbors may perform yard care at various times, including mowing, trimming, and leaf blowing.

Our water has slightly elevated levels of iron, which may cause brown spots on some laundry. We use a water softener and sediment filter to mitigate this issue, but it may not eliminate it entirely.

Periodic lake weed treatments occur during the summer. If you see a yellow notice on the property, please refrain from swimming or bathing near the shoreline for the rest of the day. You can still enjoy tubing or skiing offshore. This information is provided by Southern Michigan Lakes Manager Andy Tomasewski (PLMCorp.Net).



In 2022, we completed several renovations:

Refinished ceilings and most walls.

Refinished all floors.

Added Air Conditioning and Heating (HVAC).

Installed a Dock.

Created a beach play area for kids next to the dock with beach sand.

A great lake experience!
The home is in excellent condition and has a beautiful view of the lake. The sandy area is perfect for children. Large deck is conducive to being outside all day. Though we had some cold and rainy weather, we had plenty of room for the grandkids to play inside on those days. There are lots of large windows for the view and to let sunlight in. Owner responded quickly to questions. Though we couldn't bring our dog in the house, she enjoyed being on the deck and in the breezeway and the lake! Several areas of Pine Lake seem to have lots of reeds/lily pads, etc., but this area did not. Lake was clear and great swimming area for the kidsl Definitely would recommend.

Wonderful!
We had a great family weekend! This property was exactly what we were looking for, it’s incredibly private with a lake view from every room. We booked last minute (booked Wed, arrived Fri) and had zero issues. Was a perfect getaway for my family.

Cute Little Beach House on Pine Lake
Our Family of 5 had a very nice stay at Pine Lake Beach House. Everything was decorated very beachy and cute. We had no problems with our stay We spent most days outside swimming and relaxing. We used the Kayaks and saw a Bald Eagle and a Hawk across the lake. One of the days we took a day trip to South Haven We ended each night with a family movie on the big flat screen tv with surround sound We did bring an extra air mattress for our 11 year old, which was a good idea. It would have been a little tight with my other 2 teenage girl's on their beds. One on the pull out couch and the other on the full bed. Overall, we had a great experience and had a nice family vacation

Lake Two Retreat
Nicely appointed older cottage. Great views of the lake from the large deck and the grounds have been well taken care of. Have kayaks and other beach and lake 'toys' which are freely made available. We would come back to stay.
