Be sure to ask the owner about multiple watersport toys available for rent separately (24' Pontoon w/90hp, outboard for the 14' fishing boat). The owner has been known to offer sea-doo and ski-boat rides to guests, availability is just a phone call away (or flag Matt down on the lake).

The Winter season is just as amazing as summer. Your located directly in the “Snow Belt” so abundant snow is available when other areas are lacking. Snowmobile trails are easily accessible.

This is truly a WinterWaterWonderland.

Annual Golf Outing

Perfect place for our annual golf outing. The house was large enough to fit all 12 of us comfortably and the kitchen was well equipped.

Great house on a beautiful lake!

Matt was very easy to get ahold of. The property had everything we needed. The lake has crystal clear water and was tucket away from the crowds you would find on the chain'o'lakes.

Family Vacation 2023

We had an excellent time. The lake was beautiful. Crystal clear and very fun. We loved the deck right on the water. We rented the pontoon boat that was perfect for cruising around the lake with the whole family. This property had everything you need. We only needed to bring our clothes, beach towels and food. Everything else was waiting for us. The owners are super nice, helpful and on-call to answer any questions throughout our stay. The place was very clean and laid out really well. Thank you, Matt and Laura for a great stay!!

Family Vacation

This was a great place for us to stay with our family of 11. Plenty of space, bright and clean, and a wonderful view of the lake. Our youngest three grandchildren enjoyed the water every day and the rest of us most of the days. Matt was very helpful and a gracious host.

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Laura Church

I am a fun loving, dedicated family person who wants people to have fun. I enjoy building, powersports both on water and snow, golf, travel and good food and drink.
I am a lifelong "Michigander" and can say without hesitation that Northwest Lower Michigan is one of the most beautiful and diverse areas on this planet. I've been lucky in my career to see most of the world so I have "been there, done that".

Why they chose this property

Come and enjoy this beautiful waterfront home on one of the finest "quaint" lakes in Michigan. All sports, but small enough to know the boats and toys are not far away.
Carribean green waters with sand bottom make this a very desirable lake for sports and relaxation. Sail, Kayak, PaddleBoard and go Boating to your hearts content.

What makes this property unique

Not only the lake, but surrounding Golf Courses, Hiking and biking trails, Restaurants, Casinos, Winery's and Bars/pubs are all a short drive away. Manistee river is close by too for a lazy day on the river. If visiting cities is in you plans; Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Gaylord, Elk Rapids, Grayling, Kalkaska and Mancelona/Bellaire are a short drive away. A visit to the nearby resorts of Shanty Creek and Boyne will offer guests additional activities including Golf, Down hill and Cross-Country Skiing and water park.
