Peaceful & Private Lakefront House on Shelp Lake, hot tub is open year round
Enjoy privacy and relaxation during your stay at our 4 bedroom 2 full bathroom home located on the shores of Shelp Lake in Delton, Michigan. Located on a quiet country dirt road, our peaceful and private location means you will be able to take full advantage of a quiet weekend get-away or family vacation without neighbors close by!
Inside the house, we provide a fully appointed kitchen so our guests can create their favorite meals in the comfort of our home. We also provide a dining area to enjoy your home-cooked meals or a game night around the dining table! The large living room offers a beautiful view of the lake, as well as plenty of comfortable seating and a smart TV so you can access your own streaming accounts for a movie night or morning cartoons. With access to the upper deck directly from the living room, you can open the slider doors and let in the fresh breeze off the lake and sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee and a book while overlooking the peaceful setting full of wildlife!
The main level offers the primary bedroom with a King bed and large closet space, as well as several windows with a nice view of the lake, and a sliding door that provides access to the upper deck. The main level also offers a full bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination. On the lower walkout level you will find the 3 additional bedrooms and second full bathroom. The first bedroom on the lower level offers a queen bed and large closet, the second bedroom is a pass-through room and offers a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the 3rd bedroom offers a queen bed. The full bathroom on the lower level has a shower/bathtub combination as well as a separate shower. We also have a recreation room on the lower level where you can enjoy a game of pool at our pool table. Directly outside the doors from the lower level we have a deck with seating and a private sparkling 6-person hot tub for our guests to enjoy! Our hot tub is professionally maintained and is available to our guests year-round. We also have a campfire area for guests who wish to enjoy time by the fire overlooking the lake.
Shelp Lake is a private all-sports lake but best known for great fishing! The lake is approximately 50 acres and averages 65 feet deep. This lake is great to kayak and there is so much wildlife to enjoy! We offer 3 kayaks and a Paddle King paddle boat for our guests to use to explore the lake. We also have a dock for guests to use to access the lake by kayak or paddle boat. In the winter, Shelp Lake is a great spot for ice fishing or ice skating! For the ski/snowboard/snow tubing enthusiast, there are a few different ski hills just a small drive away as well!
Please note, the setting of this lake is best for guests who enjoy nature, kayaking, fishing, and being surrounded by wildlife. Due to the natural wetland environment of the lake (i.e. an abundance of lilypads in warmer seasons) this lake is not ideal for guests who are looking for a place to swim or float from a beach. However, if you enjoy kayaking, fishing, wildlife, and ultimate relaxation in nature... this is the place for you! If you'd still love to enjoy our lakefront property but wish for a sandy beach/swimming area to enjoy, please reach out to us and we can recommend some great day-use beaches nearby! Please note, Shelp Lake is a private lake that does not have public access/launch site, if you would like to bring your boat we can recommend nearby public launch sites if you wish to enjoy a day boating on a nearby lake while still taking advantage of the peaceful natural setting of our home.
We are equipped with an on demand whole house generator, to ensure our guests are able to fully enjoy their vacation even when sporadic power outages happen in the winter (due to snow or ice) and in the spring/summer months (due to high windows or storms).
For the convenience of our youngest guests, we provide a pack & play upon request. Please note that the pack & play must be reserved at the time of booking your reservation to ensure availability.
Please note: we have a motion-activated security camera installed on the front of the house facing the entryway and driveway.

We had a such a wonderful weekend at the house that we didn’t want to leave! The location is unparalleled if you want to enjoy some peace and quiet in a natural setting. The house was clean and comfortable, and a good size for our group of five adults. We really enjoyed the hot tub! What a great spot for bird watching too - thanks for leaving binoculars for guests to use!
Wonderful home on the lake with hot tub & pool table. Can't wait to go back in the summer warm weather. Casino 20 min away went for St Patty's weekend, super nice time.
The home was beautiful, well stocked & the host was very quick to communicate any questions we had! We would book again for ours girls weekend.The only thing of note is that one of the bedrooms is accessed through the bunk bed room, not a huge deal just a note for future renters.
The house was updated and comfortable. The view from both decks was nice. The hot tub was great, we enjoyed nice views of the lake from the hot tub. The pool table was a big hit with the family.
Had a great time ! Some things need attention. Bench at table is dangerous, dinner table is wobbly. Kitchen drain and downstairs bathroom sink drains are slow. Big pile of dog excrement on deck off living room. Beach towels for hot tub would be a nice addition.
We loved our stay at this lakehouse! It was private, clean, and had an amazing view of the lake. Perfect spot for a peaceful getaway—we’d definitely come back.
Nice weekend getaway for a wedding out of town near Gun Lake. Hot tub was great and we enjoyed playing pool. Blackstone grill was also nice. Lake was too low to enjoy fishing, the paddle boat or kayaks which was unfortunate, but we enjoyed a nice fire lakeside every night! Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.
Great location, quiet and peaceful. A perfect hangout spot for a large group of people. Kayaks and lakefront access, campfire and game room downstairs. Cons: some trash left in one bedroom, wasps’ nest on the balcony and 8-9 wasps that were able to get into the house despite closed windows. Leak in one of the bathroom toilets, but overall a clean place.
Super cute house. Just as explained. Hot tub was a nice touch. Had a great time with friends . Only thing that could have made it better would be a TV in the lower level by the pool table. Great house and weekend though.
We stayed here for an out of town wedding for my son. We could have used another day to relax in the hot tub and enjoy the beautiful deck overlooking the lake. Really nice home to relax for a few days.
This property was very cozy and welcoming. We did not have time to utilize the lake, but we plan on staying here again next year! The check in process was very simple and the house was very clean.
We had a great time at Shelp Lake. The view from the house was beautiful and the beds and couches were extra comfy for all the relaxing and reading we accomplished.
The house was very clean and the just extremely accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. The pool table and hot tub was great and the blacktop e was a plus.Thank you for the hospitality.
