About this property
Peaceful Retreat on Gilead Lake w/ Grill!
Pet Friendly w/ Fee | 7 Mi to Dtwn Bronson | Campfires on the Waterfront
Water views and lazy mornings by Gilead Lake await at ‘Corkage Cottage’ — a quiet vacation rental designed for ultimate relaxation. Settle in by the picture window for a sunrise coffee before a day of hiking, exploring, or boating on nearby lakes. When you’re ready to unwind, enjoy a low-key BBQ on the deck before cozying up around the fire pit for good conversation and a little stargazing.
