About this property

Modern Lakefront Gun Lake Cottage Near Bay Pointe Inn

Welcome to the lake! Whether you're here for a relaxing retreat, a wedding at Bay Pointe, or a family getaway, we know you'll find what you are looking for. Our cottage has been professionally renovated with all new furnishings. The kitchen is spacious & well-equipped. The sandy, shallow swim area & dock are ideal for hanging out, launching kayaks & docking your boat. Perfect lake for water sports, fishing & watching wildlife. End your evenings with a bonfire under the stars or hanging out on the dock.

The space
Fully renovated in 2023, our cottage feels fresh and new. High-end details in the kitchen and bathrooms make the space feel luxurious while the professionally designed interiors bring the cozy comforts of home.

With 55' of private lake frontage and a sandy shallow swim area it's the perfect spot to hang out or watch the kids splash around. Pro Tip: Bring the plastic Adirondacks from the garage into the water for an ideal place to cool off and spend the day.
*note - the dock and swim area is directly across the street from the house.

Proximity to Bay Pointe Inn – only ¼ mile down the road and easily walkable. Whether attending an event or just grabbing dinner, Bay Pointe is a great place to enjoy beautiful views of the lake from its upper deck.

The 3-season porch is our favorite spot to hang out. It's a great spot to read a book or gather your crew. Open all the windows and enjoy the lake breeze or the early morning crisp air. Even on rainy days, it’s the perfect place for coffee or wine.

At the end of a long day of fun in the sun, gather around the Solo Stove for bonfires and smores.

We often hear that winter is the best time to be on the lake. The lake freezes over so it's a great spot for ice fishing or hockey and is incredibly peaceful in the winter. Snowshoe trails are nearby. The house has radiant heat, mini-split heat pumps, and an electric fireplace to cozy up near after a day of winter fun.

The driveway provides parking for up to 6 cars.

Convenient access from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and most of southwest Michigan and the central Great Lakes region. Only 10 minutes east of US-131.

Guest access:
You will have access to the entire house. We keep our boat at the dock and store a few tools and supplies in the garage, so we ask that you respect these areas. We will make any areas of the garage that are off-limits clear, but other than that, the house is yours to enjoy!

Other things to note:
We encourage you to open the windows and let the lake breezes flow. We added mini-split AC/Heat Pumps in all upstairs sleeping areas and the main floor in the Spring of 2024. The cottage has radiant boiler heat throughout and is great for all seasons.

We also added a fence in the front yard in the Spring of 2024. The fence is not fully gated, but does create a wonderful hang-out space and play area for kids while being supervised.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Knust

Host profile image
Paul is from Grand Rapids, and Megan is from Orlando. We both have grown up on or near water - with Megan's dad being a semi-pro bass fisherman in Florida. We each have fond memories of various watersports - ranging from quality time fishing to sailing, wakeboarding and just cruising. We have two young kids of our own and we hope to create and share similar memories for them.

We love hosting and working to create a warm and welcoming space where your family and friends can create memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

We love this cottage and area for a few reasons. First, the incredible lake view from all of the main living areas of the house. Second, the shallow sandy swim area provides a great place for kids to play and adults to relax. Third, the location just 1/4 mile from Bay Pointe Inn makes it an ideal place to stay if you are attending a wedding, event, or dinner there.

What makes this property unique

Our property shines because of the level of finishes - it has been masterfully renovated and offers all the comforts of a 2nd home as opposed to just a cottage. It's cozy, but does not feel small, and has everything needed for a wonderful stay. The sandy swim area and location on the bay with the deepest water of a quite shallow lake also makes it an ideal location for water sports.
