Get back to nature and experience lake life in style when you stay at our house

PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST BOOKINGS WE REQUIRE A FULL SUNDAY TO SUNDAY STAY. Please be aware of that when trying to book the property/home.

Get back to nature and experience lake life in style when you stay at this brand new, secluded 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom custom vacation home. Boasting over 3,200 square feet of living space and sleeping accommodations for 12, this home is the perfect lake house for families looking to get away from the stress of every day life and reconnect with nature and each other. The home sits on 135+ private acres and offers beautiful views of Bolt Lake. Spend your days swimming or fishing off the private dock, explore the lake by kayak or paddle board, and roam the beautiful property via miles of groomed trails.

THE PROPERTY
Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Double Bed | Bedroom 3: Double Bed | Bedroom 4: Double Bed | Bedroom 5: 2 Single Bunkbeds with Trundles
Natural light pours over the open great room through a towering wall of windows that overlooks a wraparound porch and the serene Bolt Lake. A stunning wood-burning fireplace surrounded by magnificent stonework is the highlight of this already beautiful space. Adjacent to the living area lies the dining area, where you can bring the whole family together around a charming wood table for a gourmet meal. The first floor also hosts an expansive family room with a large sectional sofa and an 85” flat screen TV. The family room also has a ping pong table for competitive family fun!

Prepare tonight’s menu options in the fully equipped kitchen, which comes complete with everything you’ll need to cook all your favorites. A charming breakfast bar allows you to keep the chef company while they work their magic in the kitchen.
Spend some time in the third floor loft, accessed by ladder and primed for entertaining afternoons at home. The space is brightly lit with natural light flooding through large windows and includes a top of the line Fooseball table with additional toys, games and puzzles to keep the youngest (and often oldest) members of the family entertained.
The second floor seating area features a flat screen with Internet TV so you will never miss an important game or favorite show. The DVD player and selection of family friendly DVDs offers a great option for rainy days.

The second floor also hosts 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with double sinks and a bath/shower combo. The home is ready to accommodate the youngest of guests with an available pack-n-play for sleeping and a high chair for dining. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and offers a beautiful en suite bathroom with double sinks and a custom walk-in shower. 2 additional bedrooms, each with double beds, are conveniently located on the first floor off of the family room.

Bask in the serenity of the surrounding woods and lake views as you step out to your own outdoor oasis. The screened in porch with seating for 8 is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a guaranteed bug free dinner. Grab a good book and lounge on the wrap around porch. A short trail brings you down to the private dock where you can enjoy unrestricted access to the water during your stay. Your stay includes access to 3 kayaks, 2 stand up paddleboards, a paddleboat and a canoe. The property also boasts miles of groomed trails offering scenic nature walks all year round. For additional activities, follow one of the paths to the custom archery and 120-yard gun range. After a full day enjoying the property, a fire pit at the waters edge is the perfect spot for toasting the day and roasting marshmallows.

THE LOCATION
With a 135+ private acres and beautiful Bolt Lake as your backyard, you may never want to step foot off the property!

The property is just North of the city of Albion (home to Albion College) and is a quick 15 minute drive from the cute town of Marshall or the city of Jackson. It is also less than an hour drive from both East Lansing and Ann Arbor, making it a great option for college football weekends.

A truly special place. I could not have asked for a better property to spend a long weekend with good friends surrounded by nature but with all the modern conveniences indoors to ensure as relaxed a stay as possible. I would love to book another stay in the future.

30th Birthday Weekend

We booked this property to have a relaxing weekend over food with friends in a beautiful space. The house was amazing and a great size for our group of 10. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and we spent a ton of time cooking meals to enjoy together in the space. The property was stunning and so private. We absolutely will be back!

Great weekend

This property is absolutely beautiful! It all starts with the long driveway that makes you feel like you're leaving all your stress behind at the main road. The fire pit by the lake is the perfect spot to unwind—you can see a sky full of stars with no light pollution.The house itself has everything you need to stay entertained, even if the weather doesn't cooperate. And the walking trails offer hours of outdoor adventure and exploration.We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect place

We stayed here once before, and it was just as perfect as last time. The house has everything you could possibly want or need: Games, puzzles, ping-pong, table, kayaks. It has a view in every direction and lots of spaces together in smaller groups if you want. But possibly the best part is that it’s in the woods with no visible neighbors, and a view of the lake. Checking in and out with the host is super easy as well.

Wonderful property for a QUIET vacation. The house had an open layout, with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Tons of activities to keep everyone entertained - fishing, kayaking, swimming, walking the many groomed trails around the property, campfire by the lake, etc. We all truly enjoyed our stay.

Great Relaxing Getaway

Immaculate house near a lake. Very comfortable place. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. We had two 7-year-olds and 4 adults along with a dog and the place was plenty big for all of us. We had a great time. Would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend.

Family vacation

This property is kayak heaven. Explored all the connecting lakes and we highly recommend if you love kayaking. So much wildlife several pairs of trumpeter swans, Eastern River Otters, many deer, so many birds, and small critters. Fishing is also good. The property is very secluded. Great property for dogs and the trails were fun to hike on. Swimming was another plus and you are able to swim right from the dock. We also loved the ping pong and played many hours. The washer and dryer made washing towels and clothes a breeze. Golf courses near by. A few maintenence items could be attended to but didn’t detract from all the great reasons to stay at this home.

We came out to the land for Memorial Day. There were 10 of us which the property easily housed in comfort. The property is in a great secluded location, and the house is clean and well maintained. The lakeside amenities were fantastic, and all around we just had a great time. We’ll definitely be trying to come back.

Back to nature

Fabulous home. Trails were great - so many and well maintained. Our dogs loved every walk and scent. Kayaking 2-3 times a day. So many deer, cranes, swans, heron to see. Even a bald eagle! The lakes were great to kayak on - Clark Lake was so large - had it all to ourselves. Amazing stay overall.
