Lake living at its finest in this comfy cottage

In this cozy custom built home located on the north side of Douglas Lake, you will have some of the most spectacular sunrises the lake has to offer. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has an open floor plan featuring a large fully equipped kitchen, perfect for the whole family. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the screened porch or on the dock. Bring a pole and enjoy the great fishing this lake provides. Use our two kayaks for a day you'll never forget. Relax on this quiet lake in a hammock by yourself or at the campfire with family and friends. And you won't want to miss dining at The Douglas Lake Bar and Steakhouse, known to the locals as “The DLB", offering great food and live music on the lakeside patio in July and August.

There are 2 exterior cameras on the house that are for security reasons only when/if the property is vacant. Cameras WILL NOT be monitored during your stay



This lake house is the perfect location for day trips to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, the U.P., Cross Village (tunnel of trees), Cheboygan, Petoskey, Harbor Springs or Charlevoix. It’s only a 15 minute drive to both Boyne Highlands and Nubs Knob ski resorts. You'll want to take advantage of the nearby snowmobile and hiking trails and golf courses. There are endless activities to do in northern Michigan no matter the season! **lake level varies by season**

Douglas Lake
House was as advertised and suited us well. Water level at the dock was lower than expected, less than a foot at the end of the dock. Did not realize water was not drinkable until we arrived. Got bottled water at the grocery and it worked out fine. Enjoyed the fire pit. House was one of the nicest houses we have rented in the area over the last 20 years!

Amazing property
This place was great! It was super clean and had everything you could possibly need. It is perfect for a family with all of the space it has. We especially liked the screened in porch at night playing games and relaxing. It is also in a great location only 20min drive to Mackinac city and Mackinac Island ferry. I would definitely recommend this house.
