About this property
Newly Built Waterfront home w/amazing views!
Summary: 575 acre all-sports lake or wetland views from nearly every room in the home. You won't find another place that offers the ability for your group to swim, nature or bird watch, catch frogs or turtles, swim, fish or relax together, like this home. We've set up the space so even if there's rain in the forecast, you'll have something to enjoy inside of the home. We're located 12 mins from downtown Kalamazoo, 5 mins from I-94 and halfway between Detroit and Chicago. Swim in our 575 acre lake or explore the abundant nature of our 1 acre wetland. Beach is open
The Space: 50' of private Lake frontage accessed directly across road. With 4 bedrooms, 6 beds and 2 air mattresses, there's plenty of room for relaxing. Each room has its own theme and offers views of the lake for that perfect sunset view every night. The upstairs bathroom is the larger of the 2 full bathrooms and offers a towel warmer with a separate water closet to allow for others to get ready to go out or prepare for bed. The main floor is a true open concept that allows not only the fresh air to easily flow through the home but allows your group this same luxury. We've added a large 35' long deck off the back of the home that stretches the entire length of the home. From the deck you'll be able to enjoy your group relaxing by the firepit or grab a chair and watch the large variety of birds, frogs, turtles, ducks and more. For those needing to get work done, we've added a separate home office with printer, desk, scanner, and other office essentials. Here, you can truly Work and Play! Driving an electric vehicle..? We have a level 2, 50 amp car charging station on the driveway side of the home for convenient charging.
We've tried to solve all of the challenges plaguing lake cottages...
1) They're typically really small in size. Our home is over 1700 sq ft and designed for groups to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living. 2) Parking - We offer comfortable parking for up to 10 vehicles. 3) Cold/Hot spots when heating and cooling - We built our home with 2x6 exterior walls, r-60 attic insulation, low e windows and a well designed, high efficiency hvac system to ensure when you want it warm in the winter or cool in the summer, that's exactly what you get. 4) Water Systems - We installed a brand new well water system as well as an on demand hot water system. That means unlimited hot water for showers!

We had a great time staying here! The beach area is great for kids, the water is waist deep out to 30-40 yards off shore making it super safe for our little ones. This was a great spot for our family get together!
We had a fantastic stay at this lakehouse! It was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.The teenagers loved the arcade games and the fully stocked fridge of soda—such a fun touch. We also really appreciated the DIY breakfast setup, which made mornings easy and enjoyable.The location was great for exploring. We enjoyed downtown shopping, especially at Mason Jar Plant Shop, had a great time at Klassic Games, and loved the food at HopCat. Visiting the Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum was a highlight!Overall, a wonderful stay with something for everyone—we’d definitely come back!
Had a great stay at this home! Was decorated super cute, stocked with everything you could want and more, and communication was exceptional. Would definitely stay again!
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend here. The lake access is great for playing and relaxing, and the house was comfortable and well-stocked, which helped make our weekend a really great time!
Great place for a family gathering. Home is well thought out and well stocked with the essentials. Clean and lots of space to spread out. Host are excellent at communicating and very professional.
This is a great spot to stay year round with plenty of entertainment for kids and adults. The host was very responsive and the house was clean. Everything is as advertised in the listing with a minimal chore list for checkout compared to other properties. They have everything covered here!
This home is comfortable and well-stocked! Five college roommates held our annual reunion here and we took advantage of the beach and the deck as well as many hours at the dining room table. Lots of parking. Great place to hold group or large family vacations.
This waterfront home was as advertised. The space was very clean, packed with amenities, and most of all, very family friendly!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend this property to anyone vacationing in the local area!
Amazing hosts and amazing location. The house was stocked with everything we needed plus more. Beautiful lake view from every room in the house. The hosts were so gracious during our whole stay. We loved taking the kayaks out.
everything was beautiful, clean. loved that so much was provided for us to stay! loved the little basket of goodies/extra supplies and stocked mini fridge! high recommend and will definitely look into another trip sometime!
This location was ideal! Close to Kalamazoo with lots of things to do. The home was so clean and beautiful. They truly put so much thought and attention to detail with this home.
I really enjoyed myself because you had all of the necessities that I didn't bring. It was in a nice area quiet and you can't beat the walk across the street to the lake and I thank you again.
Definitely a 10/10!! The place is amazing. Quiet and secluded enough you get the reprieve from downtown Kalamazoo, but close enough to Food, shopping and the highway. Perfect amount of space and they go above and beyond with the extra touches and amenities. Prompt responses to any questions or concerns. Highly recommend!
Everything in the house was new and in working order. Thank you for thinking of everything we would want in a home away from home including all the common appliances and utensils. Was great to have plenty of extra dinnerware, towels & life jackets. Dock worked great with our boat and the sandy beach was nice.
We do an annual trip with 6 adults and 2 kids, there was plenty of space, a bunch of things to keep every age group busy. If you forgot something chances are this place will have it stocked for you.
Hosts were attentive and quick to respond. The only issue is the street but overall it was a small inconvenience for a beautiful beach area.
