This home is a family, group, and kid friendly home. It is in a wooded 4 acre private setting. Pine Creek lake is a no wake lake suitable for fishing, kayaking and canoeing, also ice skating if the lake freezes in the winter. There are three Kayaks and a canoe for your use, we do also have some life jackets. This is not a good lake for swimming. We are under an hour drive from Lake Michigan for all of your big water needs.
Outdoor amenities include a deck looking out over the lake with a hot tub, a propane grill for outdoor cooking, Volleyball area with net and ball, Disk Golf basket and discs, and a bon-fire area. Outdoor chairs are available for use on the deck and the bon-fire area. The house is surrounded by woods with many walking paths, an abundance of wildlife such as deer, swans, ducks and many other birds.
The home has a Master Bedroom with full size bath (Queen size bed) on upper level with a loft area that can be used as a seating area or both chairs pull out into twin size beds for additional sleeping space. Main floor has 2 Guest Bedrooms (Queen size beds), Living Room with big screen TV, Dining Room, Kitchen, a full size Bath and a laundry room. All bedrooms are furnished with Amish made log beds, nightstands, and dressers. The basement has a half bath. There is a queen size bed and two twin size beds.
There are 3 satellite TV's: one in the living room, one in the basement, one in master bedroom. We do provide internet.
The fully equipped Kitchen includes Stove, Fridge, Microwave, cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils, Kuerig coffee maker, toaster and other kitchen essentials to make you feel at home.

Enjoy the hot tub on the deck which looks out over the lake, the many paths that run throughout the property, sit by the campfire and roast marshmallows in the evening, take a canoe or kayak out on the lake. We have many ways to keep you enjoying your stay. There are many wineries close by, as well as, a ski resort a mile away!

Quick trip

We had a a two night stay at this location. We picked it to fit our family of 5 and a few other friends as we were attending the state wrestling meet in Kalamazoo. We also chose it because of the hot tub feature. The house was nearly fully stocked with whatbone might need and the owners were very responsive.

Perfect location for a ski trip to Bittersweet

Spacious, outdoor hot tub, and only 5 minutes from Bittersweet Ski hill. It's also only 10 minutes from Plainwell where there are plenty of restaurants and big box stores.

Excellent Winter Ladies Weekend

Stayed during a lake effect snow storm in early December 2024 - the four of us ladies had a lovely time at the property. Plenty of space and we loved the atmosphere of the fireplace, especially in the evenings. The hot tub was fun in the snow. Excellent communication with the host regarding snow removal.

Birthday weekend get away

We enjoyed the water front property and went out in the canoe twice. The hot tub was a hit with the children and the basement tv as well. Our beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We had a campfire one night and made smores. If you go, the Air Zoo was an amazing museum and worth the short drive from the house. Hosts were responsive and were welcoming. We did have a small problem getting sheets to dry and then the towels. You do need to plan ahead for your check out day as all bedding and towels need to be washed and most of it dried before you leave. You can leave one load drying in the dryer but we were rushing to finish to get out for obligations we had at home.Would still recommend this home to anyone. Great place to stay!

Tubing trip

We had lots of fun here. We wish we didn’t have to leave the property to go skiing it was so much fun and had tons to offer. The owners were quick to reply with any questions or problems and very helpful and easy to work with. We can’t wait to come back to visit again. We had people from 4 different states and it was a perfect house for all of us

My wife's 60th birthday celebration.

This was a great spot for a weekend-long birthday celebration with my wife's father, siblings and their spouses. There were nine of us from 4 different states, aged 48 through 80. We could not have been more comfortable. The entire property is beautifully charming and and equipped with everything needed for relaxing fun. Gorgeous sunrise over the lake. The paths on the property make for an incredibly peaceful morning coffee stroll (I encountered multiple rabbits, squirrels, and even 4 Whitetail Deer!) The scavenger hunt was surprisingly fun, also. Great place!

Amazing Lake House

The property was amazing and offered many outdoor activities. The house was very roomy and well maintained. We all loved the cabin decors and homey feeling.We had a party of 9 adults and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. We were in town for a WMU graduation and this home was less than 30 minutes from campus. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Rough

Host profile image
We are Greg & Melissa Rough. We live in Michigan. Greg has his own business and I work at a school. We met in 2010 and soon realized we were meant to spend our lives together. In 2012, we married and merged our beautiful family together. We love to have fun and spend time with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the this home the moment we roamed the property. There were more than 30 swans on the lake. We were surprised by the many paths going through the woods and the stone edging along the trails by the lake. I love to play volleyball and they had an area designated specifically for volleyball.

What makes this property unique

We are one mile away from Bittersweet Ski Resort and 10 minutes away from Timber Ridge Ski Resort. Kalamazoo is less than 20 minutes away. Our favorite winery is Fenn Valley and it is about 20 minutes away.
