About this property

Private Lakefront Cottage with a Retro Vibe

Enjoy a stay at this quiet, quaint cottage right on all-sport West Londo Lake in Hale, Michigan. Recently added Wi-Fi and a wall-mounted SmartTV, as well as full-sized washer and dryer. The home sleeps 12, with space in the living room for additional air mattress(s). Full kitchen, full bath, and many wonderful windows to allow the lake breeze in. Public boat launch if you want to bring your own boat, or there is a pontoon docked at the property available for an additional rental fee of 100$ per day plus refundable deposit. Paddle boat on site can be used at no cost. Forgot something and need a close convenience store? Visit the Londo Lakes Store just around lake, or even better, drive the Pontoon boat across the lake and pull right up just steps from the door. Downtown Hale is 6 miles away for more elaborate items with many eateries and little shops as well as a full grocery. Less than 30 minutes from Lake Huron and the charming city ofTawas with beaches, shops, and culture.

Amazing place to stay!

We had a great, relaxing weekend at this home on the lake. It was very quiet and the host was very friendly and communicated quickly. We will definitely be back in the future!

Wonderful old school feel

My father grew up on the lake and he had passed away a little while ago. We spent a lot of time on the lake as kids and we wanted to get back up there for some reminiscing. The place was perfect for our needs and fit our ideas of an “up north cabin” to a Tee. They’re wonderful hosts and we had everything we needed plus some. We will definitely stay again for a little longer and hope for some better weather.

Quaint Cottage in a great location

A quick trip for my family, but a nice little get away. Very quiet neighborhood (only saw one neighbor one time, and she was very friendly), near many lakes. Enjoyed a few of the local eateries, a trip to the AuSable and Lake Huron. Was rainy during our stay, so didn’t get to experience the lake, but looked very nice. Tons of all of the things you never want to pack or buy (condiments, seasonings, coffee, etc.), which is always helpful! Rustic and basic cabin, with tons of bed space for visitors. No tv, so if you need that, bring one with, OR unplug and enjoy the surroundings!

Lake house June 2025

My family and I traveled her from Texas! This house was amazing!! It was my husband and I and our kids! We have grown kids and teens!! The beds were comfy! The location was in a quiet neighborhood! We met a few of the neighbors they were all so very nice!! Communication with the host was usually quick and easy! It was awesome to have the house and the boat! My son and husband loved being able to take the boat out as often as they wanted while we were at the house! Fishing on the lake was amazing for them! On the dock and out on the boat! There is a small island in the middle where there is Loons are nesting! We saw the baby Loons and got to hear them calling to each other! Overall it was nice and relaxing! We traveled a couple hours each way I think the drives were nice! We took in a minor league baseball game in Midland! It was a great experience! There was an amazing restaurant close by called Timber and tides! The pizza was very good and so was the ice cream! Twas was about 30ish min away the downtown was nice! As well as the beaches there! There was a grocery store called Rogers that was closer! It was well stocked and the people were helpful and friendly! Overall it was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who will listen! I wish we could have stayed longer!
