With luxury furniture, a fireplace, media room with projector, a hot tub, lakeside fire pit, dock for your boat, kayaks and a pedal boat, grill, and many more thoughtful amenities, you and your group are guaranteed a great time in choosing our cottage as your home away from home! About this space This beautiful Michigan lakehouse can comfortably accommodate up to 12 adults with room for additional children. Guests will be blown away by the views from the outsized two-level deck spanning the lakeside of the property, as well as floor to ceiling windows from the main living area and bedrooms. BEDROOMS This house boasts four welcoming bedrooms with an additional full floor sleeping/media room. The two primary lake view bedrooms each have a plush king-sized bed, designated work space, closets/dressers and sliding doors to the upper deck. Additionally there is a twin-sized daybed in one of the primary rooms and a pack n play provided for comfortable family accomodation. The other two bedrooms on the second floor each feature comfortable queen-sized beds, plentiful closet space and full length mirrors. The attic space has four twin-sized beds, one trundle bed, and a pullout couch for additional lounging, ensuring everyone in your group will have a comfortable place to rest. All bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds, extra pillows and blankets, and USB ports for your devices. The kitchen is fully supplied to cook for an intimate dinner or large gathering, with ample seating for all. Cozy up in the living room on the large sectional couch or comfortable chair swing while taking in the breathtaking lake views that can be enjoyed from the entirety of the main level living space. Grab any of the puzzles, games, and books for all ages kept in the tv cabinet for your enjoyment, while you listen to music from the radio/bluetooth speaker on the mantel or relax by the newly renovated gas-powered fireplace that can be turned on with the flip of a switch. Two sliding glass doors from the living area give easy access to additional outdoor dining space on the deck and both propane and charcoal grills, for the experience of true indoor-outdoor living. The property also features an 8-person hot tub and fire pit, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax in any season. Take in the sun during the summer from by the lake or on either of the two large decks, or spend time enjoying lake life with swimming, fishing from the dock or exploring by kayak (two provided). There is also a coat room with washer and dryer available to hold any gear- whether it be from skiing nearby trails, Caberfae, or snowmobiling on the many ORV trails neighboring the lake! When you’re ready to unwind inside, all members of your party can stream their favorite shows from either the 65” smart tv in the living room, or the Epson EpiqVision smart projector streaming to a projector screen in the cozy media room, outfitted with a vintage-style microwave and popcorn buckets to treat yourself during your movie night. The home is equipped with high speed wifi to handle all of your entertainment or work from home needs. Other things to note There are three exterior security cameras on the property. One by the side door and two by the decks. These are for us to verify cleaners and handymen have prepared the property for your stay! If you are bringing a pet, it’s an additional $75 fee per pet. Guest access The house has parking for 5 vehicles, however, during winter season (November–March), parking is limited to 2 vehicles. The property is located on a dirt road, and although only about a quarter of a mile of your trek will be on unpaved roads, the driveway is on a sloped access road. There is no problem getting cars/trailers up in summer, but a FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE IS REQUIRED FROM NOVEMBER-MARCH. The driveway and access road are regularly plowed and salted, but guests may opt to park along the road at the top of the hill if more comfortable- especially during new snowfall. The driveway is marked by reflector poles.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

There are hundreds of both off roading trails around the lake and in the surrounding area for side by side off-roading or biking, in addition to multiple hiking trails. The closest trailheads are just over one mile from the Getaway. Also, just past the bend in the road driving east around the lake is Schindy's bar and convenience store- the best local spot with great service and fun community events year-round and an outdoor patio and live music throughout the summer. You have to try the unique homemade pizzas! This property is lakefront as well - easy access for fishing all summer long. If you bring your own boat to enjoy seasonal fun on the water, the public dock is on the southeast corner of the lake. Quiet hours around the lake start at 10pm, so please be mindful of your volume.
