Peaceful & Private Lakefront House on Shelp Lake, hot tub is open year round

Enjoy true privacy and relaxation during your stay at our 4 bedroom 2 full bathroom house located on the shores of Shelp Lake in Delton, Michigan. Located on a quiet country road, we are the only house on the south side of the lake, which means you will be able to take full advantage of a quiet weekend get-away or family vacation without neighbors close by!

Inside the house, we provide a fully appointed kitchen so our guests can create their favorite meals in the comfort of our home. We also provide a dining area to enjoy your home-cooked meals or a game night! The large living room offers a breathtaking view of the lake, as well as plenty of comfortable seating and a smart TV so you can access your favorite streaming accounts for a movie night or morning cartoons. With access to the top deck directly from the living room, you can open the slider doors and let in the fresh lake air and sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee and a book while overlooking the peaceful lake!

The main level offers the primary bedroom with a King bed and large closet space, as well as several windows with a nice view of the lake, and a sliding door that provides access to the top deck. The main level also offers a full bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination.
On the lower walkout level you will find the 3 additional bedrooms and second full bathroom. The first bedroom on the lower level offers a queen bed and large closet, the second bedroom offers a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the 3rd bedroom offers a queen bed. The full bathroom on the lower level has a shower/bathtub combination as well as a separate shower.
We also have a large recreation room on the lower level where you can enjoy a game of pool at our pool table.
Directly outside the lower walkout level we have a deck and a sparkling 6-person hot tub overlooking the lake for our guests to enjoy year-round! We also have a campfire area for guests who wish to enjoy time by the fire overlooking the lake.

Shelp Lake is an all-sports lake but best known for it's fishing! The lake is approximately 50 acres and 65 feet deep. It This lake is great to kayak too, there is so much wildlife to enjoy! We offer 4 kayaks for our guests to use to explore the lake. We also have a dock for guests who enjoy fishing from the dock. In the winter, Shelp Lake is a great spot for ice fishing or ice skating! For the ski/snowboard/snow tubing enthusiast, there are a few different ski hills just a small drive away as well!

Please note, the setting of this lake is best for people who enjoy nature, kayaking, fishing, and being surrounded by wildlife. Due to the natural environment of the lake (i.e. lilypads) this lake is not ideal for guests who are looking for a place to swim or float. However, if you enjoy kayaking, fishing, wildlife, and ultimate relaxation in nature... this is the place for you! If you'd still love to enjoy our lakefront property but wish for a sandy beach/swimming area to enjoy, please reach out to us and we can recommend some great day-use beaches nearby!

Please note: we have a motion-activated security camera installed on the front of the house facing the entryway and driveway.

Great house, poor dispute resolution
House/property is great. Only negative experience was that the only 2 BBQ gas tanks were empty. We discovered this when preparing a large late Saturday evening dinner. Unfortunately too late to wait for owner to supply a full tank. Cooking the large dinner inside was a major inconvenience. I would have liked the empty tank situation to have been addressed with other options besides waiting for delivery of a full tank.

Secluded stay
We enjoyed our stay with our family. There was room for everyone. The downstairs with the pool table and hot tub right outside the door was a hit. We wished there was more comfortable seating downstairs so everyone could be together.

Wonderful Christmas with family plenty of room
Loved the property- so much room around us and our dogs loved it! Inside was very clean and we loved the views from the living room overlooking the water. The hot tub was excellent and we played some pool too! Kitchen well equipped and beds were comfy! Couldn’t ask for more than that!!
