About this property
Cottage On The Canal - An All Seasons Getaway - Waterford - Lake Tichigan
Cottage On The Canal is perfect for those who enjoy kayaking, canoeing, fishing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, fall colors, or just getting away from the city. Located on a small canal that leads directly into Tichigan Lake, this house is on the water and only 350 feet from wide open lake. Tichigan Lake and the Fox River Impoundment combine for over 1,100 acres of navigable waterway that is perfect for waterskiing, wake boarding, fishing, and swimming in summer and ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing in winter. Just a short paddle from the house is a swimmable lake with depths greater than eight feet and depths up to 63 feet in the middle of the lake. By walking less than 100 steps away from the house you can find dining and often live entertainment at The Watering Hole Bar and Grill. This cottage is ideal for 4 people, could sleep 5 or 6 in total, if they fit on the small pull out sofa featured in the photos. Relax by a fire in the private, fenced-in yard, or enjoy the lower level entertainment area where family and friends can play games or just relax and watch a movie. Located just 3.5 miles from the nearest grocery store and less than 4 miles to downtown Waterford, you can be away from it all but close to creature comforts. The canal is NOT ideal if you have a pontoon boat that is 8.5' wide or greater or 18 foot or larger ski boats as the canal is restricted by a narrow bridge and the canal itself is only 20 feet wide. It IS ideal for fishing boats, jet skis, kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, or paddle boards. Included with your stay is free unlimited use of two kayaks and one canoe, or bring your own fishing boat and tie up to the dock. If you just want to relax and look at the water then the deck overlooking the canal and the lake may be more your style. Bring your brats, burgers or hot dogs and grill out on the deck on the Weber propane grill. The canal may appear clean and shallow, but guests do catch perch, bass, catfish, and even northern pike right off the dock. Paddling through the tunnel allows for great underwater viewing of whatever happens to be swimming through! The house does have a Ring Doorbell at the front door for security and monitoring of the house.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Grant

We have been VRBO hosts since 2015 and have another property on this body of water. We have maintained a 4.9+ review rating at that property and will give our guests at Cottage on the Canal the same service and care that we provide at our Elm Island home.
Why they chose this property
This is a brand new listing and remodeling is almost complete and ready for summer of 2022. Being a new property with limited reviews it is not completely booked for the summer like many others and still has availability.
What makes this property unique
Direct Access to Tichigan Lake by kayak, canoe, jet-ski, or small boats without the price of renting directly on Tichigan Lake. Walking distance to the best ice fishing on Tichigan Lake from the property - the ONLY way to icefish Tichigan Lake is access from individual properties. While the house is on the water (the canal) it also has views of Tichigan Lake from the deck and inside the house.
