Welcome to the Eagle’s Nest Inn. This rare, large and private lakefront home sits on 1 acre and is surrounded by beautiful towering blue spruce on crystal clear Clifford Lake. Clifford lake is one of the most quiet and serene lakes in Michigan. The home is located 45 minutes northeast of Grand Rapids between Greenville and Stanton Michigan. Come and enjoy the sun-soaked days on the lake while swimming, fishing, water skiing, tubing, boating or just relaxing in nature. Keep an eye out for the majestic bald eagle soaring overhead! We also have a pontoon available for an additional charge waiting for you at the dock or you can bring your own boat. This home boasts a lovely, manicured yard with a large 24-foot round above ground swimming pool, a sun deck, a covered deck and lower patio area for dining all overlooking the pristine 200-acre all-sports Clifford Lake. The home is also equipped with a whole home generator, so no vacation time will be lost if power is interrupted. There is also a play area and swing set for children and adults too who love to swing! On the street side of the home there is a top-of-the-line adjustable height basketball hoop for half-court basketball games and a ping pong table in the garage. Near the water's edge you’ll find a covered pavilion to enjoy the beach and the boats passing by. Relax the days away under the pavilion in the shade or down on the beach soaking up some rays and getting lost in that book you’ve been wanting to read while you enjoy the cool lake breeze. The evening is a great time to enjoy the bright stars and a crackling fire as you roast some marshmallows and tell ghost stories or simply reminisce about days gone by. The property has a beautiful stone fire pit patio area Just below the deck. Campfire wood is provided at no additional charge. Clifford Lake is known for its crystal-clear water and its historic Clifford Inn Lake front restaurant. Also, it is one of the few lakes in Michigan that allows sea planes to land and take off. If you have a sea plane there is plenty of room at the dock! The Clifford Inn Restaurant was built in 1881. It has been officially declared as haunted and is said to be home to 2 ghosts. Megan, a teenage ghost who is afraid of people, so she spends most of her time in the attic and Edward who loves and enjoys the many people who visit. Megan and Edward are always on their best behavior and are very friendly to all. You can drive or boat over and dock right at the restaurant and enjoy a wonderful meal and/or cocktails on their grand lakeside deck or inside in the dining room or bar area while enjoying the rustic cottage-like atmosphere. The pork chop meal is fantastic! The Clifford Inn also has weekly entertainment check out their facebook page for shows and times. During rainy or colder seasons, there is plenty of room inside the home to spread out to play games, talk or watch a movie.
