The city falls away, you relax, you forget your job... our 92 acre Selkirk Lake does that. Fishing off your own dock brings forth bass, blue gill, perch. We have two paddle boats, and you can bring your own boat and put it in at the public landing. Swim out to the raft if you like. Quiet, no wake hours from 7PM to 11AM. Sandy beach for children and grandchildren-some sand toys provided. No pets, thank you.
Enjoy campfires at your fire pit. A clothesline to dry wet towels nature's way. Frogs, minnows, woodland and water mammals - our great blue heron pair and sometimes a swan.
Plenty of trees make this an unusually beautiful little inland lake. The cottage faces West and sunset each evening is an event. Gun Lake is about six miles away where you can rent a pontoon, take a sunset boat ride, find funky restaurants and ice cream stands. Yankee Springs recreation area near Gun Lake offers walking trails and other nature activities.

Why the Owner Chose Shelbyville
It is close to two cities and only 30 minutes from Grand Rapids Gerald Ford airport. You get to feel away without being far from anything. Being directly on the lake is very relaxing.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The open floor plan is relaxing and light from the many windows makes it cheerful. My daughter and her friends say it is easy to keep track of their children with one great room.
