About this property

Wampler's Lake Cottage

3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 8
Spacious, open first floor gives your group plenty of relaxing space. The kitchen is fully equipped. There are two main-floor bedrooms, one with a full size bed and one with bunk beds, and a bath with a claw-foot tub. The winding staircase takes you to the master bedroom, master bath that has a jacuzzi tub, and in-house laundry.

Outside, the open patio gives you a great view of the canal which leads to Wampler's Lake. Relax by the fire pit, chat with friends while enjoying the patio umbrella, table and chairs, or go for a stroll through the welcoming neighborhood.

Recent upgrades include a new front patio & steps, and a new seawall and dock. Fresh lawn to go along with the upgrades means there's great space for yard games and for everyone to play.

You are a short walk to Jerry's Pub and only minutes to drive to Hayes State Park, downtown Brooklyn, and MIS speedway featuring NASCAR and Faster Horses. Enjoy the many attractions the Irish Hills has to offer such as antique shops, wineries, and local festivals.

Quiet, Secluded, and Very Clean Property

We selected this rental primarily because it was near a wedding venue on Wamplers Lake. Everything you could need is supplied as described in the owner's information. There was a lovely yard and canal where we saw a big turtle, rabbits, and even an egret. Inside, it was open and spacious, comfortable, and well supplied. You could really just pack a bag and buy some groceries in Brooklyn and be set for your stay, however, there are some great local eateries we also enjoyed. Eric was a super communicator and a great host. The bottom line is we would return here again because it is a solid area and place to getaway.

Check in was easy. We were greeted with some snacks and a welcome letter. The home was very spacious and overlooked the canal. It was very quiet and relaxing. A quick drive to Walter J. Hayes Park/beach where 11 gets you a day pass if you live outside of Michigan. Pet friendly, but no fenced in space if you need that, so dogs need to be on leash. No paddle boards or kayaks on the property, but plenty of places close by to do so. Very nice little getaway before school starts up again. Host was available for questions and responded promptly. 10/10. Will stay again.Stacey
