About this property
Your Perfect Southwest Michigan Lakehouse Getaway
A Rare Family Retreat on Lake Cora—Designed for Joy, Comfort, and Connection
Welcome to your escape from the everyday—a spacious and thoughtfully curated lakefront home nestled on the crystal-clear shores of Lake Cora, just outside Kalamazoo and conveniently located two hours from both Chicago and Detroit.
With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, this home is built to comfortably host large families, multi-generational gatherings, and groups looking to create lasting memories together. From sunrise swims to sunset s’mores by the fire pit, this property was designed to spark connection and joy.
Kids will love the playground, inflatable water slide, bouncy houses, and safe, shallow-entry baby beach perfect for hours of carefree play. Adults can relax in the hot tub, detox in the sauna, or enjoy lawn games like croquet, bocce, and bags on the sprawling waterfront lawn.
For those looking to stay active, the home includes a Peloton bike, free weights, and a rowing machine—or head outdoors for kayaking, paddleboarding, or a peaceful ride on one of the bikes available for guest use.
And for guests who love fresh food and quiet moments in nature, you’re invited to enjoy the property’s garden and orchard: pick sun-ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and zucchini, or sample the apples, peaches, and cherries from our trees (when in season).
Inside, you’ll find an immaculate bar/game room, generous communal spaces, and everything you need to relax in style and comfort.
We rent only to families with strong references who value respect, fun, and togetherness. If that sounds like you, we’d be honored to welcome you to our home.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by BJ Feller
We’re a family of six with four energetic boys ranging from toddler to tween, and we know firsthand how rare and meaningful it is to find a place where families can truly unplug and reconnect. We’re based in Chicago but spend as much time as we can on Lake Cora—it’s our happy place.
Hosting isn’t just a side project for us—it’s something we care deeply about. We’ve poured love and thoughtfulness into creating a space that feels welcoming, restorative, and full of joy for other families like ours. Whether it’s helping you plan your stay or sharing local recommendations, we’re committed to making sure your time at the lake is everything you hoped for and more.

Why they chose this property
We chose this part of Southwest Michigan because it strikes the perfect balance—it’s close enough to both Chicago and Detroit for an easy weekend getaway, but peaceful and secluded enough to feel like a true escape. Lake Cora is one of the most beautiful lakes in the region, with clear water, sandy bottoms, and family-friendly swimming.
The area around the lake is full of charming small towns, incredible farm stands, vineyards, and hidden gems. Whether we’re boating, grilling on the lawn, or making s’mores by the water, we feel like life slows down in the best way here. It’s a place we love sharing with others.

What makes this property unique
This home is a rare gem—designed for families who want to truly unwind, connect, and enjoy everything lake life has to offer. With six bedrooms and five full bathrooms, it’s perfect for larger family gatherings, multi-generational stays, or groups who want space to spread out without sacrificing comfort.
What sets this property apart is how thoughtfully it blends play, wellness, and nature:
• For kids, we’ve created a lakeside wonderland: a playground, baby beach with a shallow, sandy entry, inflatable water slides, bouncy houses, croquet, bocce, bag toss, and plenty of open lawn to roam.
• For families, there’s everything from kayaks, bikes, and lawn games to a fire pit overlooking the water—ideal for s’mores at sunset.
• For wellness lovers, the home features a Peloton bike, free weights, a rowing machine, and even a hot tub and sauna for true relaxation.
And perhaps the most magical part: guests are welcome to enjoy our fully planted garden and orchard. You’ll find fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and zucchini in the summer, as well as apple, peach, and cherry trees when in season—available for respectful harvesting during your stay.
This isn’t just a rental—it’s a fully curated experience that blends beauty, fun, and comfort in equal measure. Families consistently tell us it’s a place where lifelong memories are made.
