Perfect Lake Getaway

This is the perfect lake place for a quiet weekend. It’s located right next to a boat rental shop if you’re looking for a boat. The house has a wonderful dock to hangout, and the lake water (summer trip) is very warm.

Beautiful lake house

We had a wonderful time at this perfectly appointed lake house. We loved the fire pit and we roasted marshmallows that the kind host provided us(including all the trappings for S’more)😄. The Dock is a great place to relax and watch the ducks and geese. We loved our stay here!

Whitmore Lake trip

This home was set up and decorated really well and just a perfect little spot with pretty views right on Whitmore Lake. Stacy, the host, went out of her way to make sure my friend and I were comfortable.

とても良い宿泊でした

今回は利用させて頂きありがとうございました。 ロケーションも家の設備もとても素晴らしかったです。家の横に面した池まですぐに行くことができ、桟橋の先にある椅子でくつろげる空間は私のお気に入りです。家のリビングやダイニングなど至る所から素晴らしい池の景色を楽しむことができます。 宿泊までのコミュニケーションも大変素晴らしかったです。

Beautiful Whitmore Lake House

This charming house on Whitmore Lake is perfection for my husband and I! The home has absolutely incredible views and is everything we had hoped it would be. Stacy is gracious, responsive, and accommodating. We are in Michigan for the birth of a grandchild and have extended our stay here at Stacy's. Wouldn't even have considered staying elsewhere!

About the host

Hosted by Stacy

Host profile image
We invite you to enjoy our home! We love it here and are certain you will as well. This is a primary residence, and not a full-time Short Term Rental/VRBO, so there will be certain closets and rooms that are locked/not accessible, but you will have the entire property to yourself.

What makes this property unique

Unparalleled waterfront views. No house on this lake is closer to the shore line than this one, giving it an incredible "house boat" feel, with the luxuries of a house. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION - Close to the expressway for an easy "on" and easy "off" to wherever you may need to go. Minutes from Ann Arbor and Brighton.
