About this property

A stunning four-season escape!

From summer splashing to winter skiing, spring flowers to fall colors, this is the perfect escape for any season. You'll find designer touches and lovely lake views throughout this newly redecorated home. When you're ready to venture out, the quaint town of Dowagiac is just minutes away. Or head out to one of the many nearby activities including golf courses, apple orchards, ski hills, or pumpkin patches. At the end of the day return to stunning lake views and endless comforts.

The space
Newly refurbished in almost every sense, you will find a home designed from top to bottom with your comfort in mind. Every bathroom has been refinished with high-end plumbing fixtures, cabinets, and counters and each bedroom features plush mattresses and high-quality linens.

The kitchen offers new cabinets, quartz countertops, and appliances including a French-door refrigerator, GE range with five burner cooktop, two Fisher and Paykel dishwashers, new stainless Cuisinart cookware, and all the basics needed to prepare a delicious meal.

The downstairs is meant for recreation with a variety of games and toys for kids of all ages, a pool table that includes a ping-pong conversion top, a dartboard, and a game table with numerous board games. If you'd rather just chill, then curl up on the large sectional while watching a movie on the 75" Sony 4K smart TV. Of course, if your group can't settle on what to watch, there are 2 additional smart TVs upstairs.

With all of this, the outside is still the real star. Sitting on nearly an acre of well-landscaped grounds, you'll find a private and tranquil retreat. All year round, enjoy the stunning views of Mill Pond, a 150-acre stream-fed lake. Its no-wake restrictions and 9-foot average depth ensure a quiet, safe lake to play in. In the warmer month, start your day with coffee looking out over the lake from the deck on top of the pool house. Later, enjoy an afternoon swim in the heated in-ground pool complete with pool toys, lounge chairs, and pool towels. Late spring, summer, and early fall are the perfect times to explore Mill Pond using the two kayaks included in your rental.

Guest access
Except for storage and utility areas, guests are allowed access to the entire home.

Please note:
- The pool and kayaks are available from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Depending on weather and reservations, that period may be extended.

Girls trip
This was our 2nd annual girls trip. I brought my daughter and her friends to this beautiful spot. The house is set up perfectly to give adults and teens their own spots. We hope to return next year for the 3rd annual trip 😀

Peaceful stay
Wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Perfect for young children. Spent the majority time at the pool which feels like a resort. Followed by time downstairs which is like a children’s museum. Will look to go back!

Beautiful Quiet Peaceful Vacation
We loved this stay for its relaxing immaculate property. Even better than we had hoped. The home is wonderful and the owners are very easy to communicate with. We spent 5 days in the pool and on the lake. The deep end of the pool seemed to be about 10' so great for jumping and splashing. Pool was super clean. The kids absolutely loved the activities in the basement and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. We enjoyed some good food from town, but otherwise didn't venture out very far. We had everything we needed to relax and really didn't need to leave for anything other than fishing worms!
