About this property

Beautiful Lake Front property on Fine Lake. Summer/ Winter enjoyment

This family home has a large, comfortable living area that is ideal for gathering and enjoying the entire family. Boasting a beautiful lakefront view from the porch and a large lawn leading to the lake that allows for fun and games. This home has been updated with standard living comforts, as we use it ourselves seasonally, but there is no cable TV since we consider it a retreat from the world. We DO leave an HDMI cord or you can bring a fire stick or stream from your computer to watch movies. Our house is a little quirky and we keep condiments in the fridge and a few staples in the cupboards for when we visit. Feel free to use what you need. Please, no parties without prior permission as we like to be courteous to our neighbors. We expect you to respect our family space.

In the warmer months, enjoy a peaceful dinner and sunset down by the water at the outdoor dining table, and games around the dining table in the evening. The shallow waterfront is ideal for swimming and cooling off in the summer heat. We offer two Kayaks for guest enjoyment. Fine Lake is great for fishing, with plenty of bluegill, bass, perch, and walleye. We are an all-sports lake with a public boat launch located next to the Fine Lake Party Store. You can fish from a boat or you can fish right off the dock! Minimal effort is needed to catch fish in this lake.

In the cooler months, you will see ice fishermen on the frozen lake. Snowmobile trails and cross-country skiing are available at the Fort Custer recreation area 20 minutes south. There is always something to do, no matter the time of year!

Walk to Fine Lake Party Store the Banfield General Store is within 5min of the home so you can replenish essentials (the general store has great cookies!). The town of Battle Creek is only 20 minutes away and Kalamazoo is roughly 30 min. Battle Creek has several nice restaurants and breweries, as well as attractions like Binder Park Zoo, the Leila Arboretum, and several museums. The Gilmore Car Museum is 10min west of the property, and the Mooville Creamery is ~25 minutes down the road, where you can enjoy ice cream and outdoor fun with the family. Additionally, each year the city of Battle Creek hosts an air show and hot air balloon festival that draws hundreds of visitors to enjoy the mesmerizing event.

Happy to answer any questions.

We had a great time on Fine Lake. House is nice and big. Feels quite lived in and homey, the beds were comfy, the yards nice and the lakes great. Not a sandy beach shore it maybe wish noting, grounds quite mucky, but the provided paddleboard and kayaks were great to have. We caught fish after fish off the dock, and I swear I saw an enormous turtle while kayaking. Make sure to go meet the pet geese and ducks at the very kind neighbor behind the property.

You won’t find a better lakefront spot at the price. Great family spot. We enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle board. The fishing was awesome! We caught bluegill off the dock all day, and we caught plenty of bass from there as well.I gave an excellent rating on communication, but I honestly have no idea. The listing was accurate, the house was clean, and everything we needed was there so we had no reason to reach out to the host.

The beds slept great! House was perfect! They let me bring my own golf cart, I parked it in the garage at night which was nice! If your planning on using the tv bring ur fire stick or Roku box, as none of the tvs have any stations. The GPS didn’t take us to the right road so that was a little confusing but we figured it out! The host should’ve said the key is in the key box just inside the garage on the wall. Will be back!

The lake view at this place is top notch. From the shore, of course, but the porch is a big bonus. Beautiful place to have a morning coffee and listen to the birds. We lucked out with beautiful weather all weekend and having air conditioning inside was amazing. The dishwasher was also a big bonus! It is an older house with older house quirks - but we knew that going in and it just adds character. Our first time visiting Battle Creek and it was wonderful. We dined at Kitchen Proper and Clara's On the River - both places were amazing. Highly recommend.

Location and view of the lake was great. The sunrise from the upper balcony was spectacular. The wicker chairs need replaced, they were in very poor condition, however, it was pretty early in the season so they may be replaced soon? The double bed was extremely comfortable and the furniture downstairs was really comfortable. There was a nice and sturdy table to eat at and we enjoyed the gas fireplace! The handle on the microwave was broken on the bottom so we were just careful when opening it, but the kitchen was well stocked. We met family there for a graduation and it was nice not having to travel very far to the campus. The Gilmore Heritage Center - Car Museum was just a short drive and definitely worth seeing!

Great weekend getaway

Had a group of guys for a long weekend to play the Gull Lake courses. This was the perfect location. House was nice and appropriate for our group of 4. Neighbors were very nice, and the extra large kitchen table made for some wonderful card games and bourbon drinking. Very relaxed and comfortable place to stay. Oh, and owner was spectacular in communication!!!

4/10 Poor

Unfortunately the owners were unresponsive when trying to communicate with them. Recent severe weather had forced the closure of most places in the area for the weekend, so without power to much of the area we reluctantly decided to leave on the first night of the stay.

Getaway at Fine Lake

Lovely, clean home on Fine Lake. Comfortable beds, lots of room and everything to make a home-away-from-home. Good communication with property manager. More detailed instructions would have helped for check-in process. Did not have time to use any of the 'lake toys' available (sad). Thanks for a wonderful getaway...

Beautiful Location

This is a beautiful property. It is well appointed and in a great location. We loved seeing the family photos and history. There were good books available to read. There is no cable or tv service. That was fine because we all unplugged and enjoyed our visit. The only drawback is that it had a very strong cat litter box smell that did not go away even after opening the doors to air it out. A good enzyme cleaner would clear that up.

Wonderful weekend get away!

First let me say that the owners of this property are awesome! We had great communication up to and during our stay. The home was lovely and provided anything you could possibly need, including lake "toys". The lake itself was so calm, clean and warm and the scenery was beautiful. I had thought that not having cable TV would be an issue but I was wrong. It was a perfect place to disconnect and enjoy beautiful days and bonfire nights. This is definitely a place that we will put on our list to visit again. Thank you so much Brett and Lisa!
