"Gun-A-Love IT!" Lakefront getaway / retreat on Gun Lake
Welcome to our beautifully renovated home that offers 60ft of private frontage on all-sports Gun Lake at the south end in the quiet, Anchor Cove. Inside you will find an open concept floor plan that is excellent for entertaining, relaxing, and living those great family memories. The kitchen opens up to the family room and the stove faces the lake so you can enjoy the views while cooking. French doors lead to the vaulted ceiling master bedroom with a slider out to the deck.
There are two spacious bedrooms on the upper level. The first has a double bed while the second has two sets of twin bunk beds. Both also have great views of the lake. The expansive three level wood deck overlooks the lake and runs the full length of the house with nice built-in bench seats so that you can fully soak in the spectacular evening sunsets. The water is shallow close to shore and offers a sand bottom that is excellent for kids of all ages to swim and relax. There are two single person kayaks with life jackets that you can use to venture out on your own. The 100’ long dock offers a 10’ x 8’ sunning platform that reaches out to deeper water so you can dock your own boat or rent one from several places around the lake.
This is a home with real neighbors who live here year round, so please be respectful of them. Parking is limited to three spaces so plan accordingly.
The excellent location is close to Gun Lake Casino, Yankee Springs State Park with its expansive sandy beaches and inflatable water slide, Golf Courses, Gilmore Car Museum and the Bay Pointe Inn, which is just across the cove. We are less than one mile from the Barry County state hunting land for those looking for a fall hunting retreat.
Don’t miss out on what could be your best family vacation yet. Email or call today to reserve your spot. We know your Gun-A-Love IT!

Absolutely beautiful house on the lake with a perfect view of Gun Lake. Everything about the place is well thought out and was a pleasure to call it home for two weeks. Great location - very near places to eat and a grocery as well as the Gun Lake Casino. The hosts are wonderful - very easy to work with and communicate immediately. Rally nice kitchen with everything you’ll need for a vacation.

This property was exactly as it looks in the pictures. A beautiful cozy lake house on a quiet part of the lake. We really enjoyed hanging out on the back deck and taking in the views.
Our family loved your place!!! It was super clean, cozy, and had all the amenities you could ever need. The owners responded quickly to all questions which was much appreciated. You can’t beat the view from the spacious deck, especially the sunsets!

We had a restful and relaxing stay. The home seemed professionally decorated with beautiful touches throughout. The place didn't lack anything, from soaps, shampoo, paper products and towels, they thought of everything which is nice to not have any surprises. I would definitely recommend this place.

Thank you for your kind comments. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We would love to host you again soon.
Beautiful decorated lake cottage. Very clean and accommodating hosts. The sunsets were amazing. We rented a pontoon boat and had a blast. We all enjoyed floating and playing in the shallow waters at the cottage and kayaking. Bonus they had fans in bedrooms and extra pillows. We didn’t have any complaints and feel these hosts take very good care of everything. We hope to return someday! Stay because you’re Gun-a-love it!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re so glad you were able to get a boat and enjoy the whole lake! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
The house, the property, and the lake was absolutely perfect! Owners, Mark and Kim, have created a space that is beautiful and not only lived up to expectations, far exceeded them. From the comfortable, beachy decor, to the outdoor deck with plenty of amenities we could not have been more happy with our choice to stay at "Gun-A-Love-It". We've already booked our next stay!
