About this property

Cozy little lake cottage on Buck Lake!

  • Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway at Hummingbird Hill Cottage!You’ll be on peaceful and beautiful, no-wake Buck lake where you can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming!

    Take a hike, ride bikes, or play disc golf in the beautiful Dr. Lawless International Dark Sky Park which is directly across the street! Whether you’re looking to have a couples getaway, a guys’ fishing trip or time with girlfriends, Hummingbird Hill is for you!

    Hummingbird Hill is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom space with two extra sleeping twin-size mattresses! The cottage has all you need for a relaxing trip!

    You’ll have the entire upstairs level! The basement is barricaded and off-limits to guests, but will be available and fully finished in the next year or two!

    The garage is off-limits, but you’ll have access to the carport!

    Buck lake is a peaceful and beautiful no-wake lake, located in rural Vandalia. We have one kayak, one paddleboard, a small fishing boat, and two adult bikes (please bring your own helmets). Dr. Lawless Park is across the street, and there are tons of bike trails!

    Our dock is a little crooked, but have no fear! It’s safe and sturdy! Many families swim in the lake, but they typically go the middle of the water, away from the seaweed, because there is a lot of it at the shoreline!

    ____________________________________

    We’re only an hour away from Notre Dame, touristy Shipshewana, and Lake Michigan!

    Meijer & Walmart are 20 minutes away. Our dear friends own The Bullseye Market which has fresh cut meat, deli, baked items and a cafe! Dollar General is 10 minutes away. We have coffee and tea available, but Starbucks is 20 minutes away near grocery!

    Buck Lake does not have public access, but there are several sport lakes within a short driving distance if you’d like to bring a boat to a body of water. Please note: Michigan boating laws are different than most states. You need a Michigan boating license.

Peaceful location, beautiful view

I Very much enjoyed my stay. I enjoyed hiking at the nearby park and going out on the lake on one of the kayaks. I spent most of my time on the porch enjoying the view and the peace. It was a perfect getaway.

Perfect place for a retreat

This is probably the best cottage I have ever rented! It was clean, quiet, and cozy. You could see Buck Lake from just about everywhere in the cottage. The hiking at Dr. Lawless Park was amazing too. Overall, this was a perfect place for my solo retreat.

Wonderful views almost anywhere you look!

Amazing, unique property! So beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed just sitting in the sun room and staring out at the lake. Great recommendation for Bullseye marketplace near by. T.K. Lawless park is right next door, wonderful trails for all! We would love to stay again, we certainly did not want to leave!

Lovely cabin, everything felt clean and the location was great. The water is treated with sulfur and it smells like it (after showers, the whole place smelled like eggs) but that's understandable out in the country. Our main complaint was about the bugs. The owner warned us about stink bugs at check-in, and they were right. We caught about a dozen over 4 days. And we found a huge roach in the bedroom. But the cabin still felt clean!

Peaceful setting

I arrived in a rain storm, and was pleasantly surprised to have all of the little extras to help. Cf, cream and sugar were available. The deck on the lakeview side is where I spent most of my time. Just watching the swans. The home was clean and a very nice secluded spot. I did not go down the stairs out front but the deck below called to me. Awesome space to get away from it all, although not far. The hummingbirds were active too. A suggestion, as I could not find the front room tv instructions. I could never make it work, but the bedroom did fine. I would highly recommend this place to anyone just wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
