  • OUR PLACE IS AVAILABLE TO RENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR - HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME, THIS SUMMER IS FULLY BOOKED - Some availability still in September & October.

    Lakefront home on Walloon Lake - one of Michigan's finest inland lakes, some 12 miles long.
    Nestled in the center of northwest Michigan's lower peninsula - God's country to many.
    An all sports lake - crystal clear water, surrounded by hills, millions of trees, and multi-million dollar homes.
    Located on the north arm of the lake - a quiet neighborhood, calm waters, secluded and rural area - 6 miles south of Petoskey.
    A very unique property - with 160 ft of private frontage, 250 ft deep lot, 1 acre in size, with split rail fence and trees on its boundaries.
    Sand beach across the entire lake frontage - no rocks, no weeds, no reeds, no dropoff, and no road.
    Near the waters edge - a bonfire pit, with fire wood, lawn chairs, and a private dock.
    Gentile slope from the lake and beach up to the house - no road, no cliff, no steps to the house, only rich grass, a few trees.
    The large relatively level grass yard near the lake is great for all sorts of summer fun activities.
    A 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 1700 sf secluded ranch home, overlooking the lake - true up north character.

    One special and unique feature of this property is the very large and level grass yard by the lake - great for all kind of games and family fun.

The entrance to one of the key paths is just 150 ft (south) from our driveway on Indian Garden Rd. - you can enter and walk in the woods for miles.

We had an amazing week at the property. The owner was very helpful and responsive before and during the visit. We rented the pontoon boat for the week, which I would highly recommend. The boat and lift are both in great shape and allowed us to explore Walloon Lake with the family. The yard is well kept and has a lot of space for BBQ and campfires. Highly recommend!

Walloon Lake

Only downsize was the construction noise during the week from the neighbor's property on the north (new construction framing in progress). For us an inconvenience, but when house is built, the problem goes away. Would have been nice to be given a heads-up before we arrived. Being able to bring family dog was a plus.

This property worked well for our extended family. It was so great being directly on our private beach and having a private boat dock! The kitchen was very well-equipped and easy for many people to use. Our adult kids loved having a wine fridge! Overall, a wonderful experience, and we will consider coming back in the future!

We had a fabulous time sharing more memories with family and the lake view from the house is just phenomenal. The size of the yard is big where the family can hold wiffle ball games and just enjoy the lake. This is our second visit to this location and the price is affordable.

Great stay on Walloon Lake

The property was even better than advertised. Plenty of space for the whole family. The lot is extra large with a huge grass yard at the waterfront. The water's edge was clean and calm. We'll definitely be back!

Great location, comfortable stay

This property was in a great location, right on Walloon Lake and a close drive to downtown Petoskey. We visited in the winter to ski, but it would be a lovely spot to stay in the summer as well. The house was well stocked with plenty of space for our family of four plus a grandparent. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would stay there again!

Great time!

We had a great time! The house is super comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the location is perfect! The cottage is located On the North arm almost directly across from Walloon CC. The best part ( in our opinion) is the amazing lawn! It’s great for all sports, our 4 adult sons and daughter in law played countless games… we would definitely recommend this property.
