Great Palmer Lake Stay

Excellent lake front hous e with room for up to 12. Quiet all sports lake even on the weekend that we were there. Owner responds promptly to messages. AC cools both 1st floor and upper level very well, thus very comfortable day and night, even on hot day or evening. Small town of Colon nearby and setting in farm area. Very nice dining options within about 20 minutes. Yoder's Country Market in Centerville, Mainstreet Smokehouse in Mendon, and Prairies Lake Tavern with very good dinner options are among the places to go. Meijer stores in Sturgis and Coldwater along with small town grocery in Colon. Would definitely stay here again. Had 22ft tritoon delivered to Palmer Lake boat access by vacationpontoonrental.com located near Angola, IN (40 miles away) for tubing and to swin from.

About the host

Hosted by Jim

My family has owned a lake home since I was about 5 years old. I grew up spending summers on lakes in Wisconsin and have a passion for the outdoors, nature, wildlife, camp fires and water skiing. The lake, for me, has always been a place to decompress and let go of your everyday stresses. I finally have my own place and will enjoy sharing that lake experience with you.

Why they chose this property

The house is located on the south end with beautiful views of the entire lake and fabulous sunsets. The open layout and windows all around provide beautiful views. Two bedrooms on the main level are great for older parents and other that may have trouble with stairs. The 1 1/2 story house is very close to the lake with very few steps down making access super easy.
