Fishing! Swimming! Boating! Water skiing! Or just enjoy the tranquility of the Lake.
Chris' Cottage is one of the newest additions situated closest to the water's edge. Wake up to spectacular sunrises on your private deck and spend your days boating on the lake. The cottage and the boathouse each have their own private pier.
The sandy beaches provide the perfect place to swim and roast marshmallows around the fire pit. A grill and picnic table are also yours to enjoy! This cottage offers all of the comforts of home including air conditioning, microwave, full-sized refrigerator and stove.
The cathedral ceilings make this two bedroom, one bath cottage a cozy and inviting getaway! It will comfortably sleep six with two queen beds and a sleeper sofa.
Have extra guests? The boathouse is an adorable cabin just a few steps from the water's edge and next to Chris' Cottage. This rustic cabin comfortably sleeps four. It's a one bedroom (double bed), one bath with a sleeper sofa in the living room. Just imagine, while eating breakfast, you can hear the fish jumping right outside your window. The cabin is great for two couples, or a small family. Relax and enjoy moonlight pontoon rides, your own pier and fire pit. Great sandy beaches for swimming. Bed linens are provided.
Bring your own boat or rent one at Apollo Marine (269-423-6011) for fishing or cruising the lake. It's stocked with large and small mouth bass, perch, bluegills and croppies.
Savor fresh blueberries, strawberries, peaches and vegetables sold by local farm stands.

Our family has been going to Gravel Lake for 20+ years. I now have my own family. We rented Chris's Cottage for the first time in 2009. We will be coming back every year! It felt so homey and clean! We couldn't ask for anything better! Chris and Jim were so sweet and considerate! Sue was a pleasure to work with when setting up our reservation!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.
