About this property

Peaceful lake cottage retreat just a short drive from Grand Rapids and Newaygo

Small, no-wake fishing lake - great fishing in summer and winter!

320 sq ft studio space with a comfortable Queen size bed and a loveseat pull-out bed.

Well-equipped kitchenette and a small bathroom with a shower. There’s a desk with a Herman Miller chair in case you need to whip out a few emails in between fishing and kayaking.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Houseal

Host profile image
We’re Tim and Leslie, and we are looking forward to meeting you.

Tim is retired from the biotech industry where he did research in genetics and Leslie is still working in the medical device industry.

We moved back to Michigan in 2019 after being gone for more than a decade and have since completely rebuilt the house and remodeled this cottage. We feel that this beautiful, serene corner of the world is simply too lovely to keep to ourselves, so we’ve decided to share it with you.

In addition to completely remodeling the cottage and rebuilding the house, we have added a new member to our family, our beautiful Chocolate Lab – Baxter! She’s loveable and well-mannered (mostly), so we hope you’ll enjoy seeing her about the property. She will probably say hello. If you’re not inclined towards dogs please let us know and we will do our best to keep her closer to the house.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful, park-like setting captured our hearts from the first moment that we laid eyes on it, and this quiet fishing lake is just the setting for our peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, quiet, surrounded by nature and close enough to everything that we need that we don't feel isolated.
