Discover your private escape on the shores of beautiful Black Lake, where luxury, space, and the best of Northern Michigan come together. Set along 100 feet of private sandy beachfront, this spacious five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath lake home offers an exceptional four-season retreat for families and friends seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Your Private Black Lake Escape
Wake up to the beauty of Black Lake and spend your days enjoying nearly 10,000 acres of pristine water just steps from the home. Your private sandy beach and dock create the perfect setting for swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply unwinding along the shoreline.
Bring your boat or jet skis—or rent locally—with convenient boat-launch access nearby. Watercraft can be anchored directly in front of the property, and a pontoon boat lift is provided for guest use.
As evening approaches, gather around the outdoor fire pit, relax beside the gas fire table on the deck, grill dinner outdoors, and enjoy peaceful Northern Michigan evenings overlooking the lake.
Spacious Luxury for Family & Friends
Designed with larger groups in mind, the home features five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and multiple living and gathering spaces, allowing everyone to enjoy time together while still having plenty of room to retreat and relax.
Throughout the home, high-speed fiber internet keeps you connected, while Smart TVs in every bedroom and the main living spaces allow guests to enjoy their favorite streaming services.
A fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for leisurely breakfasts, family dinners, and evenings entertaining at the lake. A whole-home instant hot-water system and on-site washer and dryer add even more convenience for extended stays.
Adventure in Every Season
This is much more than a summer lake house. Located just a short distance from Black Mountain Recreation Area, the property places you near miles of trails and some of Northern Michigan’s best year-round outdoor recreation.
Spend spring, summer, and fall exploring the area by ORV, hiking or biking the trails, fishing Black Lake, or enjoying days on the water. During winter, bring your snowmobiles for incredible trail riding, enjoy cross-country skiing, or experience Black Lake’s renowned winter fishing.

The host is very responsive. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked. Kayaks and paddle boards are available to use. Very good set up for multiple families vacationing together!
Could not ask for anything better. All the special touches, made it very homey , all the amenities very much appreciated. And the views could not beat. Thank you much
Our host provided so much in the way of kitchen appliances, cooking, laundry and personal care supplies that packing for this trip was super easy. When your only suggestion is a second recycle bin, you know you’ve had an outstanding stay!
Kitchen amenities were abundant. Rooms all nice and plenty of toys, floats, etc.Needs: Hot water temps in Kitchen and main floor BR were inadequate..Too low for cleaning and comfort.We could not lock the sliding glass door to the back area.

TThank you for the feedback Richard. Thank you for the feedback, Richard!
We Recently had a whole home instant hot water system installed, and we are still in the process of figuring out the right temperatures to make everyone stay comfortable. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks for staying!
Beautifully decorated and maintained lake front home. One of the best stocked rentals I have stayed at with everything you could possibly want and then some. The lakefront and beach area was a big hit with the kids and all the sand toys/kayaks/paddleboards to use were great too. The host was very responsive and left some baskets of goodies as well. The pictures don’t do the place justice, it’s huge and prefect for large groups. We definitely plan to stay again!

The vacation on the lake was spectacular. Weather was perfect, kids and adults enjoyed playing with water toys. House was close enough to have day trips to Petoskey and Mackinaw and falls nearby. Went to casino. Prepared meals at house in the very well stocked kitchen. Memorable week
We had a wonderful time! This was our second time staying and we booked for another time this summer. It is clean, the owner always answers quickly, and had everything we needed.
Although it was winter the location on the lake was great for us, great for ice fishing. Drive through garage and onto the lake no sea wall to deal with. Great place to stay
This property was awesome for our trip up north. The sunsets were amazing and it was in good proximity to the trails. We utilized the fire pit area as well. Top notch property!
The house is so great! We loved the little sun room and deck, but the fire pit and beach were our absolute favorites! Also a great location to easily get to Mackinac and Cheboygan! Thanks again Nick, we would love to come back again!!
Beautiful home with a perfect location on the lake. Fully stocked house. They have thought of everything. Plenty of linens, kitchen ware, and beach toys. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property and the owners.
This place fits perfectly for a family with the multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, very important, it sets up nicely with front and back porches, plus full use of garage helps as well. I would rent again!
House was huge. Plenty of room for all our friends and family. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms as well as kayaks, bikes, paddle boards etc. property mgr was easy to reach and helpful. Very clean. Quiet street and neighborhood. Lake was beautiful with deck and fireplace off the back of the house. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was just as the pictures showed, the the host went above and beyond with leaving supplies. He also answered all my questions right away. Great place.
This was our second stay at this property - both visits were for ice fishing. The accommodations were very nice. The kitchen is nicely equipped.Communication with the owner was also very efficient.
