About this property

Modern Lakefront Gun Lake Cottage Near Bay Pointe Inn

Welcome to the lake! Whether you're here for a relaxing retreat, a wedding at Bay Pointe, or a family getaway, we know you'll find what you are looking for. Our cottage has been professionally renovated with all new furnishings. The kitchen is spacious & well-equipped. The sandy, shallow swim area & dock are ideal for hanging out, launching kayaks & docking your boat. Perfect lake for water sports, fishing & watching wildlife. End your evenings with a bonfire under the stars or hanging out on the dock.

The space
Fully renovated in 2023, our cottage feels fresh and new. High-end details in the kitchen and bathrooms make the space feel luxurious while the professionally designed interiors bring the cozy comforts of home.

With 55' of private lake frontage and a sandy shallow swim area it's the perfect spot to hang out or watch the kids splash around. Pro Tip: Bring the plastic Adirondacks from the garage into the water for an ideal place to cool off and spend the day.
*note - the dock and swim area is directly across the street from the house.

Proximity to Bay Pointe Inn – only ¼ mile down the road and easily walkable. Whether attending an event or just grabbing dinner, Bay Pointe is a great place to enjoy beautiful views of the lake from its upper deck.

The 3-season porch is our favorite spot to hang out. It's a great spot to read a book or gather your crew. Open all the windows and enjoy the lake breeze or the early morning crisp air. Even on rainy days, it’s the perfect place for coffee or wine.

At the end of a long day of fun in the sun, gather around the Solo Stove for bonfires and smores.

We often hear that winter is the best time to be on the lake. The lake freezes over so it's a great spot for ice fishing or hockey and is incredibly peaceful in the winter. Snowshoe trails are nearby. The house has radiant heat, mini-split heat pumps, and an electric fireplace to cozy up near after a day of winter fun.

The driveway provides parking for up to 6 cars.

Convenient access from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and most of southwest Michigan and the central Great Lakes region. Only 10 minutes east of US-131.

Guest access:
You will have access to the entire house. We keep our boat at the dock and store a few tools and supplies in the garage, so we ask that you respect these areas. We will make any areas of the garage that are off-limits clear, but other than that, the house is yours to enjoy!

Other things to note:
We encourage you to open the windows and let the lake breezes flow. We added mini-split AC/Heat Pumps in all upstairs sleeping areas and the main floor in the Spring of 2024. The cottage has radiant boiler heat throughout and is great for all seasons.

We also added a fence in the front yard in the Spring of 2024. The fence is not fully gated, but does create a wonderful hang-out space and play area for kids while being supervised.

Beautiful property and very clean. Close to places to eat and great views of the lake. Would stay again. The host messaging was timely and customer focused. Although listed as 4 bedrooms is really 3 bedrooms with bunks in a loft area. We made it work for the short stay however longer stay would have required some understanding on privacy for the loft people.

Family reunion vacation

My siblings and I wanted to do a get-together for my mom’s 70th birthday! My sister flew in from Colorado and my brother and niece flew all the way from Vietnam to stay here for a few days. We had the best time- we never even left the house. The house was beautiful with plenty of space for all of us, adults and kids included. It looks just like the pictures. We loved the firepit area and bringing the Adirondack chairs to the shallow water. The kayaks and big floating pad were AWESOME to enjoy too! Highly recommend!!

Gun Lake Cottage

Wonderful home....enjoyed swimming in the sandy beach area, kayaking close to shore, walks to get ice cream and cookies. Had a wonderful dinner at the Bay Pointe restaurant overlooking the lake. Weather was great, rented a pontoon close by and used the lily pad off a little island on the lake. Had a fire at night and found so many stars in the sky.

Great Location, Great Fun, Awesome Place!

Our family had a fantastic time at this place. Super clean & new feeling. Excellent location about 5 min walk to the Inn. House was stocked with plenty of towels. The hosts were super communicative & they were happy to share all the water toys, life vests and kayaks which ended up being so much fun for our family during downtime over two day wedding. If you are ever staying in Gun Lake, we highly recommend !

Great place for our annual family reunion

This place was a great space to host our annual family reunion. The house comfortably slept 9. The beds were the best that we’ve ever slept in at a rental. The lake is a sandy bottom, which we all enjoyed. The kids loved the lily pad and the parents very much enjoyed sitting in the blue chairs in the water. It was a perfect week. Many thanks for everything.

Great relaxing weekend away!

We just stayed for a girls weekend and found this cottage to be everything we needed! Paul was extremely prompt in his responses to any questions we had. The cottage was clean, the rooms were large, the kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the large table surronded by windows in the dining room area. It is just 0.2 miles down from BayPointe where we enjoyed a really nice dinner. Thanks again for your accomodations!

Wedding weekend

We had family flying in from Florida and Nashville for a 3 day stay for a wedding. We had 5 adults and 2 one and half year olds. It was very accommodating. The host was so friendly and we were able to get in early and check out later. We also brought our boat and was able to dock it at the property so we could easily get back and forth to bay pointe. We highly recommend this rental!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Knust

Host profile image
Paul is from Grand Rapids, and Megan is from Orlando. We both have grown up on or near water - with Megan's dad being a semi-pro bass fisherman in Florida. We each have fond memories of various watersports - ranging from quality time fishing to sailing, wakeboarding and just cruising. We have two young kids of our own and we hope to create and share similar memories for them.

We love hosting and working to create a warm and welcoming space where your family and friends can create memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

We love this cottage and area for a few reasons. First, the incredible lake view from all of the main living areas of the house. Second, the shallow sandy swim area provides a great place for kids to play and adults to relax. Third, the location just 1/4 mile from Bay Pointe Inn makes it an ideal place to stay if you are attending a wedding, event, or dinner there.

What makes this property unique

Our property shines because of the level of finishes - it has been masterfully renovated and offers all the comforts of a 2nd home as opposed to just a cottage. It's cozy, but does not feel small, and has everything needed for a wonderful stay. The sandy swim area and location on the bay with the deepest water of a quite shallow lake also makes it an ideal location for water sports.
