About this property
Chelsea Lake House, Game Room, & Pontoon-rental
Come bike, hike, fish, kayak, boat and have a fire right on the shore of the lake, yet close to picturesque downtown Chelsea (3 miles) that features bars, shopping, excellent restaurants and we’re a short drive to downtown Ann Arbor/UoM Stadium (18 miles). We cater to families and business people alike with a fully renovated home, kayaks (5), paddle boat (life jackets provided), game room with ping pong, darts, table for poker, stone fire pit, etc. PONTOON RENTAL NOW AVAIL for addit fee. Contact us for details.
The space
As soon as you walk in the front door you’ll see the lake backed by huge trees through the large windows in the kitchen and sunroom through the open floor plan. There’s a wood fireplace and cozy sitting area on one side of the kitchen, large custom bar with 3 stools, huge kitchen farm table with seating for at least 6, which leads into the attached sunroom with large sectional. The hallway immediately off the kitchen/dining room leads to two spacious bedrooms with queen size beds. The second bathroom is equipped with a whirlpool tub and a Bluetooth exhaust fan/speaker where you can listen to music and relax. The second bedroom can be used as the ‘master’ as it has an attached, private, bathroom. A large laundry room with washer and dryer and utility sink are provided for your use. The hallway ends at an enormous third bedroom with a king size bed and plenty of room to either getaway yourself or let the kids have their own space to do so and has large glass doors with a view of the lake and a private entrance to the back yard. The third bedroom is directly connected to the 4th bedroom via French doors (see floorplan picture) and has a futon that is actually comfortable and is ideal for either letting all the kids camp out and sleep or if you have little ones you want to keep a close eye on.
The intimate backyard has a stone fire pit and the property sits feet away from the lake. The lake itself is a natural, spring fed, cool lake that is up to 30’ deep and has blooming lilly pads for large parts of the summer; during the summer, we provide a swim dock to hang out and jump into the cool water. There are lilly pads along the shoreline of the property but open water trail like systems cut through the lake and really add to the charm of the lake. As you paddle west from the house the lake opens up more and more and this is where you’ll see sporadic swim docks. The entirety of the east, south, and west shores are completely undeveloped with stunning fall colors or unspoiled nature and beauty year round; it’s truly gorgeous and you’ll feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. In our opinion, it's easily the best lake to fish in the area.

Other things to note
The neighborhood you’ll stay in is a quiet neighborhood on a dead end dirt road where the home is directly on the lake and 900 square feet of pole barn across the street is the game room. The game room space is large enough that if you have bad weather you can play baggo within it and make a fire in the pot belly stove! It is a barn where there is electrical power, a fridge, and the previously mentioned amenities but it’s largely exposed studs and there is no running water, but it’s a wonderful space that has provided lots of good times. We’re located only a few miles away and we truly want to ensure you have a fantastic time, we certainly do when we’re there.
