Perfect for multi-family vacations or groups. Only two hours from most of the metro Detroit or Lansing area. The lake is small and quiet. A busy day on the weekends is maybe 4 or 5 boats or jet-skis. During the week, you mostly have it to yourselves. Most of the lake has housing that is in various neighborhoods. When you are here, it will feel very secluded to you and your group. Property has 120' of lake frontage on 3/4-acre lot with a fully wooded neighboring lot on one side. Lake has good fishing for bass, pike, and panfish.
There are three bedrooms by definition of bedroom and the walkout basement is another great common area with a nice sleeper futon and full bathroom. Total in the house are 2 queen beds and 5 queen futons / sleepers. One of the bedrooms is a bonus room over the garage that can sleep a lot of people, particularly children and there are additional cushions / mattresses that can be used for this purpose. Please note that additional fees will apply if you are having more than 12 guests.
With one bedroom on the top floor, two on the main floor and the basement, you can definitely have three families at the same time and still feel like you have enough privacy.
The home has a handicap ramp for entrance and a right-hand-usage handicap grab bar in the main floor bathroom. There is no boat or jetski usage for guests, but there is a canoe, kayak and swim platform that can be used. You can bring your own boat and I can recommend pontoon rental if you like. The lake is all sports. All appliances are here. Microwave, dishwasher, BBQ grill, air conditioning, wireless high speed internet w/ streaming TV, and laundry. Natural fireplace in the living room.
The area is very quiet. There is a local grocery, good pizza, bar food, new dispensary, and gas station with rec gas all within 5 minutes. Excellent meat market, sporting goods (fishing gear, bait) and chicken dinners within 10-15 minutes and West Branch has just about everything (including shopping outlets) about 25 minutes away.
We have a really nice adjustable basketball setup on the driveway with a free throw line and 3 point arc. Also within walking distance is Newman Park with has tennis courts, ball diamonds (kinda rough but good enough for family kickball), more basketball hoops and the usual kids toys like slides and swings, etc. Even that thing that spins around really fast and you can go flying - yeah, like when we were kids.
There are also some very nice golf courses - (Nightmare & Dream as well as others - within about 30 minutes drive.
