Come fish, kayak or enjoy a camp fire. Relax and "unplug" in our cottage nestled on a wooded hill overlooking our access to a 187 acre rural lake; a great "home base" while exploring SW Michigan (Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan). Numerous golf courses, wineries, breweries nearby, featuring plenty of seasonal family activities. Two ski resorts within 15 min--Timber Ridge (with tubing runs) and Bittersweet. Newly added automatic generator in the case the power goes out! The cottage is in a rural setting with little light pollution; the stars, the lake, the woods are beautiful and serene. Closest town is five miles away with grocery, gas, entertainment, hiking/biking and dining options; and a rural convenience store is 1 - 1/2 miles away. Guests should expect to drive 20+ min to a major grocery chain and/or urban attractions or events. Cottage is very nearly center of Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Holland, St. Joseph and lake shore, so it offers a great "home base" for exploring Southwest Michigan. If you are visiting in summer please know that even though we spray for bugs and clean corners, etc. on a regular basis, the house is on a lake and in the woods, so it is very likely you will encounter bugs. Among those you will encounter are Mayflies. They do not bite or sting (have no mouth), are very abundant for short durations, and they are attracted to light. If a random bug inside bothers you, perhaps ours is not the cottage for you.

We booked this house for a wedding that we attended in the Gobles area. The location was quiet and beautiful. The view of the lake across the street was amazing for sunrise/sunset. The owners were so kind in helping us with any questions & they made sure to check on us throughout our stay. Would book again! ##### Madison H.

The lake was just the right size… not too big and not too small. And Lake Michigan beaches and towns were a short drive away. The house had everything… a grill, fire pit, all of the kitchen things we needed. We could enjoy the sunsets over the lake. It was very clean and the hosts were very responsive and easy to reach. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Athena E. 1 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing lake house! What a wonderful spot to relax and reconnect with old friends. We spent a lovely time relaxing, enjoying the patio and deck, chatting, basking in the sunlight, feeling the breeze, and watching the swans on the lake! Would definitely recommend! ##### Athena E.

North beach in South Haven was beautiful, dunes and local breweries. great hone away from home. (about an hour from grand rapids airport) ##### cynthia d.
