There are a total of 4 lakes connected by channels for hours of exploring and fishing. We also have beavers and bald eagles on the lakes See if you can find their nests and dams or the trees they chop down. Back on land, after enjoying the day on the water, fire up the blackstone grill for supper. Enjoy a game of bags (corn hole) before relaxing by fire pit, gazing at the fire and the gorgeous water views while eating s’mores. We even have a outdoor hangout area for you to enjoy and a second refrigerator for beverages and/or extra food. If you are still outside as the night quiets down be prepared for the symphony from nature (bullfrogs and crickets).

We came to celebrate Christmas in Delton. Upon arrival we were delightfully surprised to enter what felt like our Christmas home. The host had decorated for Christmas with multiple Christmas trees and decorations. The cottage was clean with comfortable beds, and plenty of areas for the family to enjoy Christmas. The host responded to any questions within minutes. Highly recommend staying here. we look forward for future says here. Thank you.

Perfect Getaway
My family stayed at this cottage Mid October. The weather was rainy majority of the time but waking up in this beautiful location was a wonderful trade off. My boys especially loved downstairs and the blocks provided for play. The property was super clean, the house was absolutely gorgeous. Definitely recommend staying here!

Gorgeous home with lots of fun amenities
My family and I enjoyed our stay so very much. I am a clean freak in this house, met my standard, which isn’t often. Brenda was extremely responsive when I had questions. We had so much fun on the lake in the paddle boat and kayak. The sun coming in through the window is amazing.

A pleasant stay
Great setting right on the lake. The house was clean, contemporary, and supplied with all essentials. We were able to get out and spend time in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. Despite the fall weather we had a perfect day to take kayaks out on the lake and explore. A perfect place to relax or get out and about. Brenda, the owner, was very pleasant and responsive to all our questions. A must stay.

Cozy cottage
Came here for my birthday weekend with a few girl friends. It was perfect for getting some sun by the water, movie nights, and game night. Such a beautiful house. Bedrooms kitchen etc was all perfect. My kids came to visit one day and they loved the beach and sand box area. I would absolutely stay here again. We even met the owners and they were fabulous! They even drove all the way out there with an item we needed. Only thing I would add is (and maybe we just didn’t see one) was a broom! Had 2 vacuums we couldn’t quite figure out but a broom would have been perfect to sweep up some sand etc before we headed out! 10/10 recommend this place!

Perfect local lake house
The house was just as beautiful, even more actually, in person as it was in the listing. We stayed for the weekend for our daughters 13th birthday. This kind of house is just her style and she absolutely loved it! We brought 2 of her friends with us. The Kayaks, paddle boat, corn hole game, garage hangout and just the overall space was perfect for keeping the kids busy and is as well. The house is perfectly stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of outdoor furniture as well. The view is amazing. We loved having a dock to bring our own boat as well. You all just did a fabulous job with the lay out of the house and for the decks and outdoors. We loved that there was a blackstone. We cooked all our meals on it this weekend. We had a problem with the vacuum system and Greg came right out to look at it. Communication with Brenda was easy and quick. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back. Thanks for allowing us to give our daughter the best surprise birthday weekend and last family trip before they head back to school.

Cute Lake House
The house was very cute and clean. We enjoyed the garage bar area. It was a great space to spend time during some of our rainy weather. We loved the kayaks and the lake was very peaceful and quiet. We also loved the grill and firepit area. Cute house with everything you need!

Very peaceful
We had a lovely trip and only wish we could have stayed a few more days! The location is very serene, peaceful, quiet. We stayed during the week and barely saw any neighbors (though had a few very friendly chats with the guy next door), so we almost felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves and the swan family that we saw all day everyday! Our 3 and 7 yo had a blast playing in the sand and shore, swimming, fishing off the dock, paddle boating, making S’mores on the fire pit every night, and losing to Mommy and Daddy at bags. The basement was a great hang out spot for movie night and games. Brenda was very responsive and friendly. Thanks for a great trip to recharge before the school year starts!

Family fun
We had a great time here. The house / property was clean, cozy, decorated well, and had all the things we needed for our stay. Brenda is a great host and was always responsive. The garage hangout is real cool , nice decor in there as well. This house was perfect for my family and we especially loved having the 4 kayaks and paddle boat. We rented the pontoon boat also which was lots of fun. The only con is the lake water is not good for swimming. We made a lot of great memories here ! Highly recommend this for your next lake house vacation.

Lovely place
We really enjoyed our stay here. The chain of lakes is lovely and peaceful, and the house and yard is top notch. A few suggestions for future updates and comfort of guests: clean out the paddle boat before guests arrive; an umbrella for the table on the top deck so that there’s a place to get out of the sun; screens in the front door and doorwall to deck to open the doors for fresh air in the house. Overall we had a great time and excellent experience. Highly recommend!

We loved the house. It was perfect for our family of 5. The boat was great. We fished, swam, and had a lot of fun cruising around all the lakes. We also really enjoyed the outdoor area where we could have fires and hang out. Our kids loved the sandbox. Overall it was an amazing vacation and our kids are already asking to go back every year.

Very nice property, They did a great job with decor and thought about many of your needs. We went for fishing and did well with bass and My husband got a few northern pike. Nice ones. I caught a few blue gills, not very big. all and all we ended up with enough fish for at leat 2 huge fish frys. Its a great place for kids as well but not a good spot to swim. the shore line had a sandy spot but I didnt see a good sandy swimming spot.. all and all we Had a nice time!

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful lake side cottage. The rooms were spacious, clean, and nice amenities.With kayaks, paddle boats, and private beach the kids had so much to do. The view was beautiful and the layout of the cottage flowed right along the lake lifestyle. The kitchen was versatile and easily to prepare meals in.The in home vacuum was by far my favorite feature to this cottage, made cleaning up sand easy and efficient. The neighbors were friendly. Nice deck and patio set up. The cottage was one of our family favorites! Thank you for allowing us to share this experience of your cottage with our family!

Clean & well stocked! Loved the open space. Big TV in downstairs space for movies. Sweet little lake. View of lake from loft bedroom especially nice. Peaceful. Lots of outside options: 3 decks w/seating, man cave usable rain or shine, firepit, fishing off dock, huge kids sandbox. Swimming only for those accustomed to small lake conditions. Not sandy bottom. Friendly folks downtown.
