Lovely Lake House Near Hiking Trails

A lovely lake house on a secluded street near plenty of beautiful hiking trails at the state park. The owners have thought of every guests’ needs -it’s like a home away from home nestled in the trees.

We've spent a couple of days there during Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful time. House was very comfortable and beautiful. Terrace on the main floor, overlooking the lake, was my favorite place to relax. House had everything we needed. You can tell the owners are taking great care to maintain the property. We took a trip to nearby public beach and were able to rent kayaks there. That was a wonderful experience. Property had a well arragned game room on the lower level and well designed main level.

View of the lake, pier to fish from, close to beach. The hiking trails were a little hard for my group, but trails near Ottawa Lake are better and not far of a drive.

Had a wonderful time. Beautiful property. Only thing I would have liked is an easier way to get out of the water on the dock when swimming. Other then that had an amazing time. Would definitely stay again.

Long weekend getaway

This unique home was the perfect retreat for a long weekend. It was by far the most well stocked vrbo property we have ever stayed in and even included a fully stocked bar. They have really thought of everything inside the home and it was very clean especially for a pet friendly rental. The lake and dock were perfect for launching our paddle board and relaxing. The location is quiet and secluded, but still close to restaurants and other attractions. Hosts were welcoming and responsive.
