About this property

Lakefront cottage w/private dock, firepit, and grill located on all sports lake

Welcome to Turtle Haven! Once enjoyed by the hosts themselves where they made lasting memories as a family and hope the same for you!

The cottage offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a large deck (plus balcony) overlooking all-sports School Section Lake with plenty of outdoor seating for enjoying lake views. Make smores by the firepit, grill up some dinner, play yard games (some provided) in the grass, swim off the dock (private boat ramp also avail if requested), or swim at the private beach 3 doors down.

Enjoy the home like it's your own. Smoking not permitted inside. Plenty of space for playing yard games during the day and enjoying the firepit at night. Can even work from "home" with wifi provided. Complimentary firewood will be provided.

The property is located among other houses on the lake with neighbors. Please drive slowly as you turn into the community and watch for children, pets, and those walking. It's a very friendly community with many nearby amenities such as Hixons grocery, Conley's bakery for donuts and more. There's parking for three vehicles on property.

Please check out the binder when you arrive for our favorite spots near the cottage! There's great golf nearby at Tullymore and St. Ives, Buckley's canoe livery, and two wineries within a short driving distance if you're looking for additional activities throughout your stay.

Perfect lake house!
Cute and quiet house on the lake - fantastic views and quiet. House was well-stocked with the basics and everything was comfortable. Our family met here from around the country for my son’s college graduation and it was very convenient to Big Rapids. We did not get to spend a lot of time at the house to relax because we were helping move our son’s stuff and get him settled down in Grand Rapids. Would definitely consider this for another stay in the future if we are back in the area!

A perfect long weekend!
We stopped here for a long weekend before heading north for a family reunion. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were comfortable. We had a nice warm day and enjoyed the kayaks. We had a rainy day and played cards, cooked, and enjoyed the views. Our last day was a bit cool so we sat around the campfire. Very relaxing, beautiful, quiet setting.

Lake cottage was fine
We used the cottage for a family reunion. The lakefront was extremely beautiful and the house is in a perfect location. The space was adequate for 4 adults. The water smelled sulphuric. Despite that, I would rent again in a heartbeat!

Why they chose this property

Great lakefront home, perfect for memories with friends and family. Enjoy the large deck overlooking the lake, firepit, grill and more. Dock available if you bring your own kayaks or vessel (boat ramp access available upon request). Swim in the water right off the dock or venture three doors down to the private beach maintained by the lake association.
