Lakefront Walkout Cottage, Beach, Dock, Kayaks, Sunsets on Pine Lake! 🐚🐟
Welcome to our charming lakeside cittage on Pine Lake, boasting an expansive 210+ feet of windswept beachfront facing the serene north and west, offering breathtaking sunsets. Our property features a lovely dock, perfect for summer relaxation, and a swim area with river rock and sand. Open year-round, this cottage is equipped with central heating and air conditioning, ensuring comfort in all seasons. Whether you're a small family, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or retired individuals, this clean, cozy, and child-friendly cottage is an ideal choice.
Savor the pleasures of lakeside living with campfires, soothing sounds of boats and waves, laughter, and invite family and friends over for swimming or cocktails. Your stay also includes two Pelican kayaks and several adult and kiddo life jackets. A spacious 20ft x 20ft deck is only 8 steps up from the water, and features a grill, table, and chairs for your enjoyment.
Pine Lake offers year-round fun, with vibrant fall foliage, and in winter, you can access the frozen lake from the property to enjoy activities like ice-skating, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and sledding. The lake is conveniently located just 25 minutes from Bittersweet Ski Resort. Pine lake has 2 public boat launches and a place to rent boats.
This listing is only posted on VRBO (and affiliates like Expedia). If you see this listing elsewhere (such as Craigslist) please report it immediately. Most people who try to commit this type of fraud don't read the entire description since they just copy/paste. Hence, I'm placing it here for you and hopefully that helps you avoid problems.
Inside the cottage, you'll find two cozy bedrooms. One of them doubles as a four-season room with a comfortable futon and some of the best views in the house, while the other bedroom offers a king-sized bed.
For your convenience, there's an attached three-car garage, with the first garage space included in your rental.
Additional information about your stay:
If you wish to rent kayaks, boats, or paddleboards, you can inquire with Pine Lake Boat and Motor.
Pine Lake has a public boat launch, and our dock can accommodate boats under 30 feet in length. The 660-acre lake offers excellent fishing opportunities, including panfish, bass, and northern pike.
If you rearrange furniture during your stay, kindly return it to its original position before checkout.
For extra accommodation (if you have a seventh person), the living room chair transforms into a small twin-size bed.
The dock is typically removed in October and reinstalled in late April. If you are staying close to those timeframes, please confirm whether the dock will be available during your stay.
While we welcome dogs, please keep them outside the main house (in the breezeway or garage) due to severe allergies. If they are hypo-allergenic, and dry then they can be in the house but keep them off the furniture. Nearby kennels are available, and kindly clean up after your pet.
For security, we have cameras at the front entryway and inside the two-car garage (excluded from the rental).
Smoking or vaping indoors is prohibited.
We leave some campfire wood there, but if you need more it is available to purchase nearby around Pine.
Lawn care occurs weekly, typically on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
In winter, snow removal occurs throughout the night or day whenever a few inches of snow accumulate.
Please be aware that neighbors may perform yard care at various times, including mowing, trimming, and leaf blowing.
We installed a new water softener in fall 2025, and new sediment filter unit which helps to make water quality excellent.
Periodic lake weed treatments occur during the summer. If you see a yellow notice on the property, please refrain from swimming or bathing near the shoreline for the rest of the day. You can still enjoy tubing or skiing offshore. This information is provided by Southern Michigan Lakes Manager Andy Tomasewski (PLMCorp.Net).
Garbage is picked up Tuesday morning (one day later on Holidays), so please have the bin at the top of the driveway on Monday night..
