Deck, grill, table and chairs perfect for late night poker/board games, meals-overlooking the lakeside backyard and nightly sunsets.

Large yard for additional activities such as wiffle ball, volleyball, tag football, etc.. Fishing right from the pier is fantastic. The lake has large and small mouth bass, walleye, northern pike, dogfish, perch, bluegills and crappies. The back lot is large and flat. This lake is a hidden gem with super low boat traffic.

Pier has space available to dock your own boat.

The Rock restaurant with live music and awesome food is walking distance from our front door.

Several wineries nearby that would love you to swing by to try some samples, open year round.

Several golf courses and a driving range in the area. Horseback riding, winery tours and road biking from your doorstep to a few minutes away (email me for any specifics you need). Plenty of restaurants and entertainment in Marcellus/Lawton/PawPaw (pubs, restaurants, movies, bowling, ice cream barns, antique shops).

Two hour drive from downtown Chicago, approximately one hour to Notre Dame/South Bend, 15 minutes to Paw Paw, 30 minutes to Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo. 10 minutes to Swiss Valley Ski Resort, 40 min drive to Timber Ridge Ski Resort.

Our lake home is clean and kid friendly. We have a good assortment of kid and adult games that we leave up year round. No pets allowed. No smoking in house.

In the long term we are looking for a small, trusted group of families and responsible adults to rent to when we are not at the lake ourselves.

Please do not hesitate to email or call with any questions and for additional photos.

Great Family Vacation!
Adorable cottage with great amenities! Awesome fishing off the dock. Rented a boat for tubing and explored all 3 lakes daily. Nice size yard in front and back for activities. Willow trees provide great shade on the hot, summer days. Would definitely return and recommend to others. Thanks Kim!
