About this property

Nautical Nic's Cozy Lakefront Cottage


This cozy early 1900's 1-bedroom cottage is sure to create lasting memories on your vacation. It is perfect for a couple or small family. Come relax and cozy up by the gas fireplace while gazing at the stunning sunsets. It is waterfront, directly on Zukey Lake. The Lakeland trail, a paved trail great for any activity, is right around the corner. 4 Kayaks & a paddleboat are available all year at no extra charge. A floating pontoon is at the end of the dock with a propane firepit that pairs well with your favorite beverage in the evenings. NEW IN 2025 is Linda's Lake Vibes Boat Tours. Please see flyer in the photos for more details.

Do know that our dock is "seasonal" and is usually in from May until Oct. Sometimes, we can put the dock in the water in April. It depends on our lovely Michigan weather. Please inquire before booking if you need to know. The dock is in place for your relaxation pleasure. Please inquire if you wish to bring a boat. No rentals are available on this lake. The floating pontoon with the propane fire pit we leave up all year long for you to cozy up to.

This is an owner operated vrbo and not managed by a property rental company. We like to ensure you have a great vacation experience.

FYI... For those not familiar with lake living, homes are within close proximity of each other. We are hoping for guests who are looking for a peaceful retreat and enjoy some quiet couple/family time. No parties, foul language, or large gatherings as we want to be respectful of our neighbors on the lake. This lot is 28ft wide. Our own home personal lake lot is directly next door, so you may see us out at our dock/beach frequently, but we will not invade your privacy or space.

We loved our stay at Nautical Nic’s. The lake views were beautiful, and the house was nice, clean, and comfortable. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, yet not far from stores and restaurants. We would definitely recommend it and would stay here again!

Fabulous place!

We loved our stay here!! It feels quiet and remote but it’s conveniently located walking distance to a big Kroger and fun bar! And being right on the lake with a private dock is amazing!! We took the kayaks out and spent a ton of time just lounging. It was the perfect quiet lake getaway.

I cannot say enough good things about this stay. Jodi was absolutely wonderful to communicate with from the very beginning. You could truly feel that she wanted me to have the perfect experience, no matter what I was there for.I came during that in-between time when winter and spring are kind of merging, and it really was almost too early to have the dock and pontoon in. But they went above and beyond and put it in anyway, even knowing there would be storms during most of my stay. I appreciated that so much, and I was able to fully enjoy it on my last day, which made it even more special.I stayed here by myself for a personal retreat, and it was absolutely perfect. It would be ideal for one person or a couple. The space is so cozy, peaceful, and thoughtfully put together. Every single detail has been considered. If you forgot something, chances are it’s already there, from sunscreen to slippers to extra blankets. And if it wasn’t, I truly believe they would have made sure you had it.I spent most of my time enjoying the quiet, the comfort, and being right on the lake. It was just amazing. I barely left the property because I didn’t need to. One of my favorite moments was sitting out on the floating pontoon, having DoorDash deliver dinner right to the dock, and then enjoying a fire out on the water. It felt magical.This place is more than just a stay, it’s an experience. It’s peaceful, comforting, and exactly what I needed. I will absolutely be coming back.

Great Property and Flexible Property Manager

Beautiful property with an awesome view of the lake. Was able to easily locate everything needed for a comfortable stay. We ran a race and needed to clean up after. Jodi was flexible with checkout to allow us time to get back and get cleaned up before checkout.Would totally recommend!

quiet weekend away

This property was just as pictured and in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to a grocery store and some restaurants. We ended up canceling plans we had one night to stay in, and we were able to see a pretty sunset!

A wonderful weekend getaway

We loved our weekend at Nautical Nic's. The house was clean and you could tell had been updated with care. We enjoyed using the kayaks and sitting out on the floating patio. Zukey Lake Tavern was a 2 minute drive away and was a great dinner spot - food was delicious!

Lovely sunroom with 3 sides of windows on lake!

Zukey Lake is fun to watch from this cottage as the sun is behind you in the morning, then overhead midday, and later you get the sunset straight across the water. The kayaks were fun, the sunroom had cool views of the water that we especially enjoyed after dark when the lights on the docks all glowed. We loved our stay!

We had such a blast at Nautical Nic’s! They really know how to create a cozy cottage environment while also offering so many perks (like snacks and coffee!). We loved the docked floating pontoon and gas fireplace table—so magical! We cannot wait for to plan our next weekend away.

Amenities Galore!!

Me and my daughter had a very relaxing 2 night stay at Nautical Nics Cozy Lakefront Cottage. The amenities were plentiful, the hosts were very thoughtful in what they provided for guests. The cottage is true to the pictures, so cozy and cute. We enjoyed the sun, water and kayaking the 1st day and even though rainy weather on the 2nd day we relaxed inside and enjoyed the lake view! Wonderful weekend stay!
