About this property

Incredible sunsets over pristine Loon Lake

The Lodge at Loon Lake is situated on a 2 acre wooded lot overlooking pristine Loon Lake. The Lodge is only available on a Sunday checkin (1:00pm) and Saturday check out (1:00pm) basis. Loon Lake is approximately 120 acres in size and is located within the Huron National Forest. The 4 bedroom lodge sits above the lake facing west. Every evening brings incredible sunsets over the lake. Only about one third of the shoreline has homes and cottages. The rest of the shoreline is nature at its best. If you are looking for a noisy, loud, power boating lake this is NOT IT. Loon Lake is a quiet, beautiful lake where you can enjoy fishing, swimming, hiking, relaxing on the water and viewing beautiful sunsets. The Lodge at Loon Lake was built in the 1950's and still has that special north woods feel and atmosphere. The entire exterior has been log sided with field stone trim. All the furniture, bedding and decorations have a north woods look. The interior is all knotty pine with wood floors. The large living room has a high ceiling with a stone fireplace. The dining room table can sit up to 8 persons and has a door wall that leads to the upper deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need. There is also a small bistro table ideal for having morning coffee and looking over the lake. The master bedroom has a king bed and bathroom. There is a full second bathroom located next to both the Moose and Bear bedrooms. Both of these bedrooms have queen size beds. There is also an upstairs sleeping loft overlooking the main living area which has 4 twin beds. There is a fully equipped laundry room downstairs. On the outside of the lodge and facing the lake is a screen house located under the upper deck, There is also a field stone barbecue and a fire ring for campfires. With the lodge located above the lake there is a stepped walkway down to the lake side decks and water. Here there is a fishing boat with electric trolling motor, canoe and 4 kayaks along with a shed containing seat cushions, life vests and other water toys.

Great Family Vacation
A beautiful cottage offering all the amenities we were looking for, as well as a peaceful lake just right for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, & boating. The bonus was these items were provided by the owner. Would highly recommend this property for a family gathering! Hopefully, we can return sometime in the future.

The Lodge in Rose City
The Lodge is wonderful! We loved the location, the beautiful lake and trees. The Lodge is beautiful inside and out. Everything you need is there. Bring your food, clothes and toothbrush. Very, very nice. We stayed there with our kids and grandkids and they loved it. Had our two dogs who had a wonderful time. Small motor boat, raft, canoe and kayaks were great! The storage cabinet by the dock wasn’t great, you might want to bring life jackets. The only other thing was no air conditioning and we had really hot weather a couple of days. Highly recommend.

nice get-a-way on wonderfl small lake, in a nice cabin in th woods
The property is in a wonderful wooded setting. We have rented this property last year as well- we love it. The owner is easy to work with. The property does need some "maintenance" work on the deck which is rotting away as well as the deck chairs. This would be an important update enhancing the property. The interior of the cabin is comfy and nice for a "rental". Highly recommend it. Hv.

Michigan Top 3 Lake
Outstanding, host and crew are very welcoming. Lodge is very clean and has a beautiful view of Loon Lake. This Loon Lake (one of 14 loon lakes in Michigan) should be listed in the National Geographic List of most beautiful lakes. The water is crystal clear, setting is peaceful and the sunrises and sunsets out of this world. Thanks Jerry for the taking care of the family.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Helmicki

Host profile image
We originally purchased the Lodge in 1987 and it quickly became our favorite place to be. It actually reinforced our love of country living that lends itself to a simpler life. We love canoeing, hiking and horses. We actually had a couple of horses at the Lodge for several years. Then in 1995 we jumped into a new lifestyle by purchasing the Bar Lazy J Guest Ranch in Colorado! Unfortunately we had to sell the lodge to make that dream possible. We never thought we would have the opportunity to return to our Lodge on Loon Lake. Well, obviously we were able to make that happen. In August of 2011 the opportunity to repurchase the property presented itself.

Why they chose this property

Providing great hospitality for people to relax and enjoy the great outdoors has become our passion and we are delighted to be able to share this special place. Waking up to the morning call of the loons on the lake followed by coffee out on the deck while a bald eagle soars over head....WOW it is the best! You will soon discover why this is a 'little piece of heaven!'

What makes this property unique

Our Lodge provides an opportunity to bring both family members and friends to a unique environment that provides a peaceful getaway from your everyday life.
