Nice lake

Nice quiet lake, and home. On a dead end street, so not a lot of vehicles, or homes. Very relaxing. The host, Shann, was very friendly, and accomodating. Fun place to stay.

From the moment that we arrived at this property, we were immediately impressed with the location, the view, and the house itself. Everything was exactly as described and the host, Shann, had great communication before and during our stay. The beds, pillows, and furniture were all very comfortable. There were also fully stocked kitchen shelves (pans, dishes, spices, etc), two TVs, and plenty of towels. The outside lake view is absolutely gorgeous and includes plenty of seating areas in quiet backyard. If you want a peaceful, low key getaway, where you know that the host has great communication and truly cares about her guests, then this is the place for you.

Lovely lake front location, beautiful drive through rural countryside. I was surprised this is a triplex property and that the small apartment is a portion of a walkout basement. The furnishings are largely old uncomfortable pieces. It is a simple cottage apartment. My family & I enjoyed it but feel the description is not clear. The host allowed us use of the water equipment which was great. We had a nice time......

Location is nice

We stayed between Christmas and New Years so I cant say a lot about the lake or property as we used it as a place to sleep. If you like hard beds this will be comfortable for you. The shelves were pretty bare of the normal essentials you find in a VRBO. Hair dryer was missing but thankfully the owner was upstairs and we were able to get one from her, that we kept in the unit. Quiet neighborhood. Heat was good.

Cozy, Quiet and Comfortable

This little lakeside apartment/cottage was exactly the space we needed for our time in Michigan. All the creature comforts of home situated in a super quiet, wooded setting near the lake. Host, Shann was easy-going, flexible and very accommodating. We needed a place that offered space for my daughter and I to relax and spread out a bit but also to host a small family gathering. Shann's place was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Shann

Host profile image
I grew up in the Battle Creek area and have always loved the peace and relaxation of life on the lake. My family and I enjoy sharing this piece of country with others, and it means a lot to us when guests can unwind, play, and feel at home here.

Why they chose this property

This lake and wooded neighborhood has always been a part of my roots. It’s quiet, full of nature and wildlife, and yet close to everything in town. I chose it because it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful surroundings with easy access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

What makes this property unique

This home sits at the end of a private road tucked between a cornfield and a pasture, giving it a true country feel while still being minutes from shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Guests can enjoy peaceful mornings watching wildlife, spend the day fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking on the lake, and end the evening by the fire pit under the stars. The blend of quiet seclusion, lakefront fun, and close proximity to Battle Creek’s rich history and bike trails makes this property a ONE OF A KIND retreat.
