About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This is a restful, casual home – 1700+ comfortably furnished square feet on one level, wonderful on sunny days and cozy when the “liquid sunshine” happens. Breezes from the lake refresh through the whole house.

The Lake -

Blue Lake covers 330 acres and has two county parks and one public boat launch. This lake has great fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing opportunities including nesting bald eagles.

The House -

Lots of windows, wall to wall glass on the lake side

Large living and dining space

Full kitchen and breakfast nook

Three bedrooms

Two baths

Laundry

There are three steps up to access the house - no ramps or elevator. We have supplemental rails at one door to help with ambulatory elderly access.

Our Commitment –

You are our guests and we will treat you with hospitality. We will provide a clean, prepared home with most everything that we think you'll need (except food, drinks, firewood and bait) to enjoy your week at the lake house.

Our Expectations -

No pets, no smoking, and we expect you to take care of our house. You'll have defined check-in and check-out times that you'll need to respect. Payment is in advance.

Frequently asked questions-

Michigan’s adventure is 11 miles/20 minutes away.

We do not recommend swimming right by our shore. It is suitable for young kids to splash in but just beyond the dock is muddy and weedy. There is a roped swimming area a short walk or boat ride away at the county park.

We do not offer pontoon/motorboat rental but there are third party rentals nearby.

There is AC in the master bed and the living room. When you open the slider doors and windows a great breeze does wonders to cool the house.

During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Huron-Manistee National Forest. A water park is available. The vacation home offers a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

Beautiful outdoor setting

We were so busy we had no time to enjoy this place’s main assets - the lake, dock, boats and outdoor sitting areas. Host was very kind and accommodating. This would be a great place for families with children as the dishes were plastic, so not breakable, and the water wasn’t scalding hot. Plenty of room to romp and play.

Large house with all amenities!

Our family of 7 fit easily in this house. Lame was so clear and clean, fishing perfect, location great! Just no phone service nor WiFi, that’s the only negative. We highly recommend.

Loving Blue Lake

The property has added new features like a dock, a firepit, and bunk beds. We loved the new arrangement, which allowed us to bring a canopy to keep us cool. The property managers responded immediately and fixed issues in less than an hour. We had a ton of fun fishing and listening to records. We love coming to this cabin and look forward to returning.

July get away

This house was wonderful, exactly as described. The use of a record player was a very nice touch. I don’t think the joy of seeing a large crane on the dock every day is properly communicated

Visiting the Eagles at Blue Lake

This was our second stay. As with the first visit, we found the property clean and very well stocked with everything we could need during our time at Blue Lake. We particularly enjoyed watching the eagles - 4 total - which spent their days on the pines directly across from the cottage and occasionally dove close to the dock to capture their dinner. We also used the kayaks to tour the lake each morning. If you are looking for a place to unplug from the world, this is your spot!

Amazing sunsets

Our 3rd time staying. We love the location because it is somewhat close to home so our young adults can come and go (still work). Great lake for fishing and boating. Lots of fun to hear the excitement of the campers at the summer camps on the lake.

Fantastic Fourth

We have loved coming to this cabin for the past several years. It is great to get away. I appreciate minor updates and upgrades each year. Having no tv or internet is so helpful to help us unplug, and the record player is so fun. We love checking out records from the library before we come. Thank you for welcoming us back each year.

Second stay at this property and this time was better than the first. Fantastic location to our ultimate destination. Plenty of communication with property owner prior to arrival but our schedule once we were there didn't allow for much communications during our actual stay. Overall I love this staying at this place and I'll seek it out again for 2024. THANKS! Chris, Sara, Darren

Perfect summer fun home on a budget!

What a great value here! We had a fantastic week at this vintage lake house. The owner provided so many extras as well. We were all very comfortable and enjoyed boating, fishing, swimming, and sunsets! Very close to everything we wanted to do too. I would recommend this property to both my friends and family.

Great property, host had great communication. Would stay again

Only thing I could possibly say negatively is there is 2 (non central) ac units, if those were turned on prior to our arrival it would have been nicer inside but otherwise it's a great place with a beautiful lake. If you like fishing this spot is even better.

Seeing things from the other side.

Members of my family have been spending at least some of their summer on Big Blue Lake for well over a hundred years, so I am quite familiar with the crystal clean waters for fishing and swimming. However, this was my first stay on the southeast side of the lake. The cottage’s location and layout really maximizes the effect of cooling breezes and colorful sunsets. The house is clean and comfy - and is supplied with almost anything you might want for a week of relaxation. The lack of WIFI and TV was refreshing - not a limitation for us. My wife’s only complaint - no Scrabble game (personally, I was gratified)! It’s a fantastic place to unwind.

Fishing Big Blue Lake

My family and I enjoyed the home for a week of fishing from the dock, boats and kayaks. A few miles away we enjoyed a day at Michigan Adventures and we spent another day exploring the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Two nearby disc golf courses in Whitehall and Flip City gave us a good work out for a cheap fee ($5). One rainy night we headed to the Cinema a quick 20 minute drive away. Every night we slept deeply after a bonfire and boardgame . Thank you for the memories
