Relax on the extra large deck overlooking the lake after you whipped up a perfect meal on the grill. *Please note that this cozy cottage does not have air conditioning, but is built into a hill that helps temper the heat* *Please see note at the bottom RE: Lake Algae*

About The Lake: Water temperatures in the summer are typically in the 70's. Being a small tempered lake, Duck Lake is swim-able all summer long - no need to worry about harsh conditions. Duck Lake is a 123-acre natural lake. Maximum depth is 39 feet. Common Fish in the lake are Bluegill, Large-mouth Bass, Sunfish and Yellow Perch. We commonly see Ducks, Geese, Mute Swans, Herons, Cranes and Loons to name a few. Beach sand has been added to the shore for enjoyable accessibility, but you may find some natural vegetation here and there. A Bald Eagle is a frequent visitor and we expect he will return for this season! *Quiet time on the lake begins at 11:00 pm.

In The Area: On the last Sunday of the month through September is Michigan's largest antique show, Allegan Antiques Market, with over 400 exhibitors just 15 minutes away. Visit the new Tanger outlet mall in Byron Center only 39 miles away. For you gamblers, Gun Lake Casino is just 34 minutes away. Easy 30 minute drive to enjoy the amenities of South Haven located right on Lake Michigan - Check out their farmers market every Saturday too! Like to golf? Cheshire Hills Golf Course offers 27 holes of challenging golf with typically at least 9 holes open to walk up golfers. If you get the urge, go, it's less than a mile away! Also be sure to bring your bikes as the 33 mile Kal-Haven trail is only a 10 minute drive away.

We are excited to accommodate your stay! * *Algae Note: As of May 3rd, 2024 Blue-green algae has been present in the lake and is known to contain toxins. The local Health Department has posted (at the public boat launch) direction to not have contact with the water or allow pets to drink from the lake while this condition persists. The Health Department will reevaluate their recommendations on a regular basis, usually weekly. If no HAB (harmful algae bloom) is observed for a couple of weeks, they will likely
remove any advisories but continue regular monitoring. They still like to keep some postings up for awareness, just in case it does return.
The latest news releases can be found on the Allegan County Health Department's website.

The likelihood is this condition will leave as weather conditions and lake conditions change. However, there is no guarantee this will not be present during your visit. While you would still be able to enjoy the cottage and activities outside of the lake, you must heed any Health Department postings or stay out of the lake if this condition is observed. We are currently working with county officials and outside resources to identify possible actions to reduce the conditions required for algae blooms and implement any available countermeasures. We thought it necessary to share this information, and while there is potential for this condition in any aquatic environment, since it has been observed on Duck Lake it’s important you’re able to make an informed decision on whether or not to rent our property.*
