About this property

Cozy Hubbard Lake waterfront -beautiful views, private wooded lot, fireplace

Take in gorgeous sunsets and crystal clear water from our year-round home on the eastern shore of Hubbard Lake- one of Northern Michigan’s finest inner lakes. Lounge on the private deck overlooking the lake or cozy up in front of the fireplace in the knotty pine living room. This lakefront gem has been lovingly cared for and provides privacy on a unique 1/2 acre wooded lot with mature oak and towering pine in a quiet residential setting. 100 ft. of lake frontage. The perfect "Up North" getaway any time of the year!

Home features two bedrooms with queen beds, living room with stone fireplace and two sofa beds (one queen and one twin), full kitchen, laundry room, one bathroom and a dining nook. Outdoor table, fire pit and deck (which is located down a flight of stairs toward the lake).

Quiet serene location where you can truly relax and unwind. In warm weather sit back and listen to the call of the loons, lapping waves and the whispering pines. In cold weather, curl up in front of the fire and enjoy the beautiful views!

Things to know:
Firewood is provided. There are steps down to the lake, with a deck halfway down. Please note that the steps to the lake are not maintained in the winter.

The dock is in from June through mid-September. The dock includes a large swim platform with steps to easily enter the lake. The shore is rocky, and water shoes highly recommended for swimmers. Paddle boards are available at no additional cost. Kayaks also available seasonally.

In addition to the fantastic fishing, boating and swimming on Hubbard Lake, the Cottage is conveniently located near the following:

The cottage is lovely - reminding me of one my Great Aunt owned on the South Shore. Warm, inviting, the hosts were extremely helpful and easy to reach when necessary. So many amenities to choose from and centrally located to everything we wanted to do. I would definitely rent this location again.

Very pretty location with beautiful views of Hubbard Lake. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the wonderful dock- many steps to it but that was not an issue for us. Our Aussies loved going down to the water too. We slept great and enjoyed bonfires in the evening. . Short stroll to the cute corner store and delicious pizza from Smokey’s were a treat.

Perfect vacation

My family and I spent the week here and we had the best time! The home had everything we could possibly need to enjoy ourselves! The kitchen was fully stocked and that was sooo amazing and made cooking such a breeze! The view is fantastic, we practically lived on the dock and platform- Hubbard lake is one of the best lakes in Michigan! We loved everything about our stay and we hope to come back again in the future! !

Our family of 4 had a great stay for our first time on Hubbard Lake for a family wedding. Dock and boat lift were perfect for our 17.5ft ski boat and access to swimming where other rentals don't allow boat tie up. Accessibility down the 52 stairs to the dock limited some visiting family but fine for us. We saw some dust bunnies from dogs that must have stayed before us but it didn't affect our stay. Home was fully equipped as expected. Harley was quick to respond when we had an issue with the refrigerator and we were very comfortable the entire week! Great spot on the water in a quiet community in the woods with sunset views.

Fall Getaway

We enjoyed a great relaxing fall getaway at the Hubbard Lake house. Pockets of vibrant color were starting in the area foliage. The home has a vintage flare but is well appointed with kitchen supplies, comfortable furniture and beds. Outstanding sunset views of the lake from inside and out. We also enjoyed a warm fire on a rainy chilly day. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and a sandy beach at Huron Park in Black River not to far away. Overall we had a nice relaxing stay and we hope to return in the future. Thanks!

Bass fishing vacation

We had a great time. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. Fast internet and great tv service. We were able to watch Olympic prime time. We fish every day. Caught few bass, perch and many catfish(errrr!). No walleye, unfortunately. Beautiful views and sunsets. Lots of toys. We used the paddle boards and floaty. The dock works for our little boat. We cooked our meals in the kitchen. We only went out to eat once. Quiet neighborhood. In all, it was very relaxed vacation. We will back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Harley

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in Northern Michigan since we were children (more than 40 years ago!) and are lucky enough now to own our little place "up North" which was always a dream for us. We believe there is no better place in the world than Northern Michigan for relaxing and enjoying nature. The air is cleaner, the water is clearer than anywhere else we've ever visited. Our little place on Hubbard Lake is our dream come true. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do - we are excited to share it with others!

Why they chose this property

This home is a real gem - offering beautiful views and access to the crystal clear waters of Hubbard Lake - from the privacy of a wooded 1/2 acre lot in a residential area. There is no traffic noise. We are sometimes blown away by how quiet it is here (compared to where we live in the city!). Sometimes all you can hear is the wind in the pines and the call of the loons. The only motors you hear are the boats going by. . . We have worked hard since we purchased the home to make it more comfortable and updated (fantastic wifi, new dock, some new appliances, new furniture, new plumbing and fixtures, etc.) We go out of our way to make our guests are comfortable and take pride in our cleanliness (by a professional between each booking) and our accessibility (usually within one hour of any inquiry or request).

What makes this property unique

This is a new listing, a knotty pine year-round beauty that has never been rented before. This is truly a unique property and if you compare it to other listings of similar size, you will find it is a real value. The privacy is the most unique benefit- there is plenty of room to stretch out in the spacious backyard and from the private deck (located half-way down the stairs to the lake) you won't see anything (or anyone) besides your view of the lake!
