About this property
Fish, swim, sun and relax!
Cottage overlooks beautiful Hemlock Lake. Hemlock Lake is 68 acres and is a clean, sandy bottomed lake. It is stocked with blue gills and trout. You can sun or sit in the shade. Swimming is a delight in our clear, sandy bottomed lake.
Relax on the deck overlooking the lake or swim to your heart's content!
There are two (2) bedrooms. One has a twin bunk beds and the other has a full size bed. The sofa pulls out into a queen size bed. There is a bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is well stocked with most everything you will need. Beach and lounge chairs are available.
There is a dock. (Must provide your own life vests). Please contact us if you want to bring a boat. Maximum length of Twenty (20) feet. Surf or wake boats that create large wakes are not allowed. The lake is not large enough to withstand these boats and they damage sea walls and erode our beach area. Contact Host for information on Pontoon Rental.
Make sure you review our Rental Agreement. We want to make sure this is the right venue for you!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Karen or Jodi Bainbridge
Karen Bainbridge grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan and enjoyed many summers at this family cottage. Jodi was born in Ramstein, Germany where his father served in the US Army. He grew up in Marcellus, Michigan and spent much of his childhood with his grandparents on Hemlock Lake. Jodi loves scuba diving, spending time with his family and traveling. Jodi lives 5 minutes away from the cottage. Karen lives in Kalamazoo and enjoys camping, traveling, reading and exploring healthy alternatives.
Why they chose this property
Karen Bainbridge and her son Jodi have spent most of their lives on Hemlock Lake. Karen's father Donald Wiers began building the cottage in 1959. Karen's parents sold this cottage and bought the cottage next door. Karen and Jodi have been blessed with the opportunity to purchase this property and hope to share this with other families and hope with the hope that they will get as much enjoyment as we have had through the years. (Campfires, swimming, sunning, playing cards, cookouts, reading and just relaxing!)
