About this property

Nautical Nic's Cozy Lakefront Cottage


This cozy early 1900's 1-bedroom cottage is sure to create lasting memories on your vacation. It is perfect for a couple or small family. Come relax and cozy up by the gas fireplace while gazing at the stunning sunsets. It is waterfront, directly on Zukey Lake. The Lakeland trail, a paved trail great for any activity, is right around the corner. 4 Kayaks & a paddleboat are available all year at no extra charge. A floating pontoon is at the end of the dock with a propane firepit that pairs well with your favorite beverage in the evenings. NEW IN 2025 is Linda's Lake Vibes Boat Tours. Please see flyer in the photos for more details.

Do know that our dock is "seasonal" and is usually in from May until Oct. Sometimes, we can put the dock in the water in April. It depends on our lovely Michigan weather. Please inquire before booking if you need to know. The dock is in place for your relaxation pleasure. Please inquire if you wish to bring a boat. No rentals are available on this lake. The floating pontoon with the propane fire pit we leave up all year long for you to cozy up to.

This is an owner operated vrbo and not managed by a property rental company. We like to ensure you have a great vacation experience.

FYI... For those not familiar with lake living, homes are within close proximity of each other. We are hoping for guests who are looking for a peaceful retreat and enjoy some quiet couple/family time. No parties, foul language, or large gatherings as we want to be respectful of our neighbors on the lake. This lot is 28ft wide. Our own home personal lake lot is directly next door, so you may see us out at our dock/beach frequently, but we will not invade your privacy or space.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Jodi Graham

Host profile image
My husband and I are both professionals. I am an RN at a local hospital and Nick is a carpenter working at EMU. We love living on the lake providing entertainment and activities with many friends around when we want, but the lake also provides us the relaxing atmosphere and moments of peace and quiet when needed. The sunsets are absolutely beautiful! We both love to cycle on the lakeland trail stopping occasionally at the local Zukey Lake Tavern or Hamburg Pub directly off the trail. Jodi likes to run as well with her highlight being running the Boston Marathon in October of 2021! The lakeland trail provides 24 miles of paved trail end to end...longer with crushed gravel. So much to enjoy in all seasons. check us out.

Why they chose this property

Nautical Nic's is directly next to our lake lot. Our house with 3 acres of land is directly across the street. We have a dock/lake lot directly next to Nautical Nic's. This was a perfect opportunity for us when this cozy cottage became available, as we have already been vrbo hosts for other properties and really enjoy hosting.

What makes this property unique

The Views from this cozy cottage are amazing. Sunsets are stunning. You can even see these from your bedroom. Kayak(no fees) or paddleboat on this beautiful lake which is also attached to 8 other lakes. This cottage is on Zukey Lake with Strawberry Lake being the next lake over and portage Lake being the last lake (2 hrs by boat) on this chain. Sit at the end of the dock & relax or get active and Kayak the chain connected by the Huron River. Check out Captain Scotty's boat tours or NautTikiMI.com for added sightseeing and fun on this chain.
