About this property
Charming Lakefront Private Suite
Charming Lakefront Guest Suite Enjoy this private lakefront living space on an all sports lake in Caledonia, Mi. Perfect for fishing, swimming, kayaking, or just enjoying the views. Whether you are traveling with family, in town for business, or reuniting with friends, You will enjoy peace, comfort and beauty as you experience lake living. Each season brings its own unique attribute. Fall is breath-taking as the trees around the lake reflect gorgeous colors. A perfect time for fires in the fire pit, or lazy afternoons reading in the screened in porch. Winter brings an amazing level of quietness as the snow and ice cover the lake and nature goes to sleep to replenish its energy. Spring is the time when new life bursts forth everywhere. We again enjoy beautiful color as trees and flowers bloom. And of course, summer is perfect in every way. Long days and plenty of activities….a perfect place to relax and recharge.
The lakeside of the suite has a patio that overlooks Duncan Lake. The patio contains outdoor eating amenities, as well as comfortable chairs to enjoy the view. We are up on a hill, and there is a beautiful winding stairway that brings you to the lakefront, where we enjoy 120 feet of frontage. It is an absolutely beautiful location on the lake. While sitting on the lakeside deck, you enjoy a western view with gorgeous sunsets and long views of the lake.
On the lake level, we have a screened in porch, a fire pit, plenty of seating, and various areas to relax with a book, sit quietly listening to nature, or chat with friends. We also have 2 kayaks, one paddle board, a floating dock in the water, and various other lake toys.
Inside the private guest suite, we have two bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. There is also a well appointed kitchen with modern appliances, an eating area, one living area that overlooks the lake, and a second living area with a working fireplace. There is a pull out couch in this room. There is a dedicated workspace in the common area, as well as a small pub table and bar cart.
There is a public access on Duncan Lake, but at this time, we do not have extra storage on the property for personal boats. However, if we are heading out on the pontoon, we would be more than happy for you to join us.
Our house is very centrally located. We are located with easy access to nearby highways which quickly brings you to downtown Grand Rapids (which is 17 miles away). Grand Rapids has amazing restaurants, concert venues, and of course, breweries, since it is knows as “Beer City”. We are close to two colleges (Davenport and Cornerstone). We are also located very close to walking trails, state forests, and amazing local eateries.
*Note: owners occupy the main floor of the property, which is a two story home. The apartment is in the lower level. There is a locked door to our residence, so you can be assured of privacy. You have a private key to the entrance of the suite. The owners are adults, with no children. During the week, we rarely use the lake. Occasionally on the weekends.
Also there are stairs on this property There is one set of exterior stairs to get to the apartment. There are also stairs going to the lake. The stairs going to the lake are very shallow, but meander down the hillside. If you have physical limitations, this might not be the place for you.

Thank you Jonelle! Your family were awesome guests. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and we’re able to enjoy the property. Thank you so much for leaving it so clean and tidy. That is so appreciated! Good luck on your search for your own spot, but until then, you are welcome back anytime!
This spot was as advertised and my husband and I enjoyed it very much! For us, we particularly enjoyed watching the sunsets from the private patio. A very special spot on a very nice inward lake.

Thank you Sally! It is one of my favorite things to do as well! Thanks for leaving everything so tidy….it is greatly appreciated! Come back anytime!!
Perfect space for a relaxing get away. Kids were able to fish in the morning (catch and release). Very peaceful and clean. Had everything you could need for a fun stay right on the water. Lots of stairs but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the space and dock.
We had the most fun, yet relaxing time here. We kayaked, paddle boarded, played on the mat, fished, played cornhole, read, made a fire/smores and relaxed . The house was the most well equipped I’ve ever stayed in and the host was so helpful. Would love to revisit.

Three friends for over 50 years. What fun we had staying at this property. Very nice home with a perfect view of the lake. We so enjoyed watching sunset while sitting by the lake with a glass of wine. Very convenient to visiting Grand Rapids.

The property has plenty of lakefront and is well stocked with water toys and supplies necessary to enjoy the water. The house itself had everything we needed for our stay. The host came to introduce herself and we enjoyed talking to her. Lovely area and neighborhood. Will definitely be back!

Thank you Amy. It is my joy to meet the people who stay with me and share my little slice of heaven! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed themselves!! You are welcome back anytime!!
Everything was great and the sitting by the lake was very restful. It is a full private apartment as listed with everything needed for a good stay. The host was easy to contact and checked in periodically to make sure we had what was needed (also very friendly). We loved the property and it was a short drive to Grand Rapids. If we are in the area, we will definitely stay again.

Thank you Lynn! It was fun to meet you both and I’m glad you were able to enjoy a respite from daily life! You are welcome back anytime!
This property is absolutely beautiful and perfect for my family. Direct access to the lake along with all the amenities provided by Robin, the host, allowed us to fill our days with fun activities both in and out of the water for adults and kids alike.
Robin was very gracious and flexible with us and a joy to work with. Next time we are up in Western Michigan, we will definitely be booking this place again!
