Lakefront Living Room: Sandy Beach Cottage - Sleeps 8

Enjoy a relaxing get-away with your whole family at our wonderful lakefront cottage.

Our smoke-free cottage is on beautiful West Londo Lake in Hale MI. The lake is a 190-acre all sports lake that you can enjoy swimming, fishing, water-skiing, canoeing, kayaking (provided with rental), or relaxing on the water with beautiful sunsets. Our 50-feet of lake frontage offers a sandy bottom shallow swim area great for kids, dogs and the whole family. There is boat launch close by on the East side of the lake and a dock available off the beach at the cottage for Boats and Jet Skis. Pontoon boat rentals can be arranged locally (property owners not responsible for boat or jet ski rentals)

The main room features a living room that adjoins to a full kitchen with eating area. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need. The living room exits onto a large deck that overlooks the lake. The deck has a large table and outdoor couch set over-looking the water.

There is a master bedroom that overlooks the lake, with a queen-sized bed. Across the hall is a room that has a double bed, great for another couple. The third bedroom is great for kids, with a trundle bed (2 single beds which can be made into a one larger bed). The couch in the living room is a sleeper sofa that opens to a queen sized bed. In total there is room to sleep 8 in beds. Two single sized air matresses are also available, for extra sleeping capacity, plus a pack-n-play for babies.

All bath towels and sheets/blankets/pillows are provided. Please bring your own beach towels. The bathroom is equipped with a stall shower.

The cottage is available for variable time periods with exact check-in/check-out times to be agreed upon. See availability calendar for details and pricing.

The rental includes the cottage, 1 Propane BBQ Grill, 1 kayak, and a fire pit with starter firewood supplied. There is a tire swing overlooking the lake and a small basketball court.

Our cancellation policy: If a reservation is cancelled up to 30 days before the start of the stay, traveler receives a 100% refund. For bookings cancelled up to 15 days before the start of the stay, traveler receives a 50% refund on the rental amount. Travelers will forfeit rental fees for any reservations cancelled under 15 days before scheduled visit. The only 1 exception to full forfeiture with a cancellation under 15 days is if we are able to rent the week for which you have cancelled, we will refund booking fees, less a 15% service fee.

Power sports must be off the all-sports lake 1 hour prior to sunset.

We are located two and a half hours north of Detroit Mi., 50 minutes north-east of Standish or 25 minutes west of Tawas. There are 2 full-service grocery stores in town, an ice cream/coffee shop, a laundry mat, a pizza place,, etc. Londo Lake is right next to Sage Lake where the famous Cruisin Coney Island is located. Additionally, we are 20 minutes south of the Huron National Forest, Lumberman's Monument, Iargo Springs Interpretive Site and the Au Sable river.

Here's what some past guests have said:

HAD A GREAT TIME!
The homeowners did a very nice job communicating with us and were very responsive; they were great to work with. The process was smooth and easy! The home suited our needs well and was stocked with lots of little "extras" that were handy not to drag with us. Londo Lake is a great spot to be at and we'd definitely consider renting here again!

A GREAT COZY HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Our whole family had a great time and it was well worth the drive from Chicago. The private water access, nice porch area, boats, and comfy beds were perfect. The house was clean and neat but not fancy. Not much in town but that's ok because we were all about spending days in/on the the lake. We did get to check out the county fair which was pretty nice and the ice cream shop "downtown" was cute too. The owners were super sweet and helpful to us.

Great location. interior of the home needs work
Great location and back deck and beach area were wonderful places to enjoy the lake views and waterfront. The interior of the home needs work. It was damp inside and there were cracks in the walls of 2 of the rooms. It would be helpful for the owner to have an inspector take a look at the foundation to see if something could be done about the dampness.

Very nice property. The cottage is old but also very homey. Would go again. Internet and more fans would be nice.

Best vacation ever
Best vacation yet. Where do i begin....the cabin was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Lisa thought of anything and everything you could possibly need while staying there. The cabin had such a comfy home feeling. My kids never stopped smiling. The water was sandy and clean, but the views of the lake from the very large deck were something ill never forget. Was sooo peaceful and quiet no loud partying neighbors either, felt like the lake was ours even if it was only for 7 days that unfortunately flew by. Leaving day was a very sad day. Also being able to bring our 2 dogs and include them on our vacation was a giant plus because they are also part of our family. We cant thank you enough lisa for letting us share your little piece of heaven for a bit. Ready to go back now..lol Stephanie manning

Summer 2015 - A GREAT COZY HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Our whole family had a great time and it was well worth the drive from Chicago. The private water access, nice porch area, boats, and comfy beds were perfect.

What makes this property unique

Our lakefront is great for young kids! The sandy beach allows for easy access to the water and the lake is shallow for 10-15 feet from shore. Kids can splash and play all day while parents have piece of mind. Additionally, there is a clear line of sight from the cottage and deck straight to the lake.
