Make new memories! Vacation in the forest on Loon Lake: spacious; scenic; fun.

Waterfront House on Scenic Loon Lake
Nestled in the forest, this lakefront home has it all. You can enjoy panoramic views from the stunning open concept communal space. But, why stay inside when the large private yard includes a scenic bluff and shoreline on Loon Lake? Of Michigan’s 11,000+ inland lakes, Loon Lake in Hale, Michigan, has to be one of the gems. It is tranquil, yet rated for all-sports, so whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or a family holiday of active fun, you won’t be disappointed. Come visit anytime—we promise, it is spectacular in every season!

Indoor Space: Chuck the Buck welcomes you!
This house has 2900 sq. ft. of living space with all the comforts and conveniences of home. The cathedral ceiling of the entry level creates a huge gathering space with enough lounge seating for everyone. It is open to a fully equipped kitchen and indoor dining around the dinette table or at island bar stools. Yes, we have a large screen TV, but don’t forget to check the entry cabinet for games and puzzles. The entry level also has two spacious master bedrooms with comfortable king size beds, two full bathrooms and a dedicated laundry room. Off season visitors (Oct-May) may appreciate the warmth and ambiance of the gas fireplace.

The giant upstairs loft includes a half bath, lots of sleeping space (queen, bunkbed, twin bed), couches for hanging out, desks for your students or the work-from-home folk, and even a play area with a few toys for the kiddos. On the upstairs landing, you will also find a book nook with a selection of classics and a beanbag chair to nestle into. Also available, an electric piano—please respect the instrument, children must be supervised.

Coming May 2024, more available square footage at the walk-out level (pool table, seating area).

Outdoor Space: Gather, Visit, Play, Make Memories!
This is why you book here! Enjoy outdoor meals on the full-length deck (propane barbeque available), a tranquil morning with a cup of coffee on the lower patio, or sunset campfires at the top of the bluff (firepit and firewood provided). The 35’ elevation enhances the view! Wide, gradual, sturdy steps provide access to the lake level or take the switchback walking path down the hill (new). Lakeside improvements (2023) created a 106’ ribbon of flat land at the lakefront (construction pictures posted--grass has now come in). Dock (May 15-October 30) provides access to gradual slope and sandy bottom Loon Lake for loads of waterfront fun. Guests are welcome to use our two kayaks and one canoe (paddles and keyhole style lifejackets provided). Please bring custom fit lifejackets for children and non- swimmers. Motorized watercraft are not included in the rental, but you may launch your own boat at the nearby Plainfield Township public access site for fishing or all-sports fun.

Tourist Stuff: You cannot do it all in one visit!
Hale is the gateway to the Huron National Forest, 20 miles from Lake Huron, close to multiple hiking, cycling, and skiing trails, many ORV trails for off roading in all seasons, golf courses, hunting, fishing, even shopping (if you must—Tawas) and so much more. Check the entryway guestbook for local options and add your own suggestions for future guests.

This place was exceptional. Everything we needed. Family that was staying at another place came on Saturday to watch the michigan football game. They couldn’t get it at the other place! Clean, beautiful. Would love to stay again next year.

Beautiful peaceful loon lake
We had the most amazing time here with our dog over memorial day. It was so peaceful and quiet on the lake. There are lots of great areas both indoors and outdoors to spend time. Jim was extremely responsive to questions, including right when we got in at 10 pm for a question about how to turn the grill on. We only had 2 people, but there was a lot of room for additional people if you have a larger group. I would love to go back!

Beautiful House with great view of Loon Lake
The house was spotless, well stocked and exceeded our expectations. I rent several vacation homes each year and this is as good as any. Nice owners and if you have not been to Loon Lake you are in for a treat. I would definitely recommend this rental. 5 stars!!

Fall family getaway
We had an amazing long weekend at this beautiful home! Three generations (4 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 kids) were all very comfortable because the home is so spacious and cozy. We enjoyed the fall colors along the River Rd Byway. There were trails for hiking and scenic overlooks to accommodate all ages. Great communication from the owners and plenty of blankets, pillows, and anything needed in the kitchen. Excited to return next year!
