About this property

Eagle Lake Kalamazoo, Mattawan - Lake Livin'

Welcome to beautiful Eagle Lake in Kalamazoo, MI! This lake is a roughly 300 acre - wake lake with public boat access, multiple sandbars, refreshing water, and tons of fun!

This home is 2,000 sf and sits on 40 ft of lake frontage. The home has an open floor plan designed to accommodate 8 comfortably. The main floor opens into the kitchen and living room with views of the lake.
The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, barware, utensils etc. There is also a laundry room and half bath on the main floor. The living room has a couch and two oversized chairs as well as a flat panel smart TV and fireplace.

Upstairs includes the master bedroom (queen bed), an outside deck with lake views, and a new, beautiful master bath. The master bedroom has a flat panel smart TV as well.

In addition to the master, there are three additional bedrooms (2 queen bedrooms and one bunk bedroom). A pack n' play is available if needed. Linens, blankets, towels, and pillows are supplied. There is free wifi and cable.

There is a gas grill on the patio. There is also have a half-acre of green-space behind the garage that has a swing-set and fire pit.

This home has a large driveway that can fit 6 cars with additional parking on the back property. There are yard games, water toys, and flotation rafts. There are 2 adult kayaks, 2 kid kayaks/paddle boards, and 2 adult paddleboard. This lake is public so you may bring a boat and dock it at the house. Perfect place for boating, swimming, kayaking, fishing, and RELAXING.

The yard and landscape are new in 2021, new concrete patio, fire pit, furniture etc. In 2018-2020, Eagle Lake had record rainfall and flooded. We had to install a seawall which protects the property. The seawall stands about 2 ft higher than the yard (in the future we will cut the wall down) however until there is a long-term water solution the wall is a great asset to our property.

Once you are on the dock, the water at the shoreline is around 2 ft deep. It is a sandy bottom. At the end of the dock, it is roughly 5-6ft deep. The dock has a ladder. There is also a swimming raft that is anchored about 20 feet from the dock.

Lastly, a pontoon boat is available to rent if need be. $150 per day or $750 for the week.

During the winter months, the dock and the outside furniture are put in storage. Upon request and weather-dependent, we can provide the outside propane firepit. There is also a burn pit on the back property for wood fires.

No animals allowed.

The home is about 5 miles away from Texas Corners which has shopping, restaurants/bars, bike trails, and a farmers market.
45 minutes away from Lake Michigan. 2 hours from Chicago.

Lakeside Gem
We had a great stay at this lakeside property. The neighborhood was great, location is close to all things Kalamazoo. The house accommodations were great along with the lake amenities provided (Kayaks, Fishing gear, boat dock). The kids were able to use the bicycles provided along with a adult bike. Special thanks to Megan for providing the jungle gym and small trampoline. 5 Star Time Rick C

Great House in Great Location
We stayed here to prepare for our son's wedding. We live out of town so we needed a place to work on final preparations. We also stayed a few days after the wedding to rest and relax. This was the perfect place for us! There was space to work and for everyone to be comfortable. Becky was a great host, very responsive and very nice!

Kid-friendly, all we could have hoped!
A marvelous venue for an extended family week with small children. This home was by far the best equipped one I have ever stayed in with a thoughtfully, generously and fully stocked kitchen and lots of toys, books and entertainment particularly for the elementary and under set. Lots of opportunity for water play, too, with several human powered watercraft and flotation toys. This home is an easy one to recommend.

Wow!
Our family of 12 (2 kids-ages 8 and 12) had the best time staying at this home. Becky was so great with communication. The patio furniture in front and back both got used a lot and were very comfortable. The inside of the house was clean and very homey. The kitchen had every possible thing you could image you might need. I have stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and this kitchen was by far the best of the bunch. The beds were comfy and the master bathroom was beautiful (so was the walk in closet). The lake was perfect and never felt too busy. We had the lovely sandy sandbar to ourselves most of the week. There were so many outdoor games/toys to choose from. The kayaks and paddle boards were used often. The kids loved the playground and trampoline. It is very close to Kalamazoo so there are so many options to check out besides just enjoying the lake. The AirZoo in Kalamazoo was a kid favorite. The farmers market in Texas Township was small but seemed like it had all kind of homegrown options to pick from. There is really nothing bad I could say about this property and the location. Our family would definitely stay here again.

Loved everything about our stay!
We booked the house for a combined family trip, with four adults and four kids ages 2-5. The house exceeded our expectations in every way, and made for the most perfect stay! Becky has thought of everything - this was the most accommodating VRBO I've stayed at. She has gone out of her way to ensure you have everything you could possibly need for a great lake trip. This house is ideal for families, but would be an amazing spot for a girls weekend or adult trip, too. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the house was very clean and organized. There is even an ottoman full of toys in the living room - total bonus if you have littles! The backyard and lakefront are truly beautiful. The attention to detail continues outside, with beautiful landscaping, outside seating, fire pit, etc. We had so much fun swimming, kayaking, fishing, and just enjoying the lake. We made a trip to the Bell's brewery one day for lunch, but other than that we didn't leave the house and lake since we had everything we could need right there! Becky's daughter Megan lives a few houses down, and she went out of her way to help make our stay great as well! My son took a pretty nasty spill on his bike while Megan happened to be outside. She came down with an extra first aid kit and everything we needed to help patch him up and get him back to enjoying the lake. Becky and Megan are incredible hosts. We really had the best time from start to finish, and would love to visit again!

Fabulous
I rarely leave reviews these days but I just have to let the people know how fabulous this property is! Let me start by stating I’m quite of the Vrbo frequent flyer. This has been the best property I’ve stayed in. It is quite obvious a lot of thought has gone into making the guests feel comfortable and at home. The towels alone, were amazingly soft and beautiful. That doesn’t even include the shower, bed and kitchen. Everything you can possibly imagine is stocked for your use. The lake and property is gorgeous and easily accessible for your older guests. Book this place! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Becky!

Gem on Eagle Lake
This property is one of, if not THE best, my family and I have ever rented. This includes other Michigan and Arizona lakefront properties as well as ocean front houses in Texas and Florida. The house was very clean, fresh and included everything one would expect in their own home. All linen, towels, furniture and kitchen supplies were like new. There was a nice welcome gift of wine, chocolates and snacks. Lake access is easy as was mooring our pontoon boat and jet skis. Boating and skiing were great as the lake was not over-crowded, even on the weekends. The water was refreshing, nice and sandy, although a little sea-weedy out past the dock. When seaweed started accumulating near the shore, the owners made sure to remove it. Becky, the owner, and her daughter Meg were there to greet us, made us feel welcome and let us know they were available for any questions or problems that may occur. The next time we decide to rent in this part of Michigan, we definately will call Becky first.

What a Gem!
This property and host are EXCELLENT! If you're looking at this house and thinking.....maybe? Stop your search and book it! I really can't say enough great things about our experience. Starting with the phenomenal communication from start to end and the warm welcome (with treats) from the owner and her daughter. The house is in excellent condition inside and out with everything you could possibly need, it was like we were staying at our family's home. We rented a pontoon boat (next time we will rent one that can pull a tube) and we loved to kayak and paddle board around the lake. We 100% would stay here again and hope to make that happen next summer. Thank you for sharing this special place with us!

Family Lake Week
Family vacations are important to us, a retired couple with adult children and a young grandchild. All 3 generations enjoyed this well-equipped house and the wide range of lake activities. Convenient for cooking, bringing in food from nearby restaurants, and enjoying visits to special places in the area. Easy communication with our host and prompt help whenever we needed it. A-plus!!

A lake house week that exceeded our expectations
Becky provided everything a perfect VRBO experience should be: -Accurate description and photos -Well equipped kitchen and well stocked in supplies -Immaculately clean and modern with cozy lake house decorations -Excellent and prompt communication from the host -Check Ins with the host to see if we were happy with the house -Thorough instruction folder with explanations and recommendations Becky is a very pleasant and friendly person who we were able to meet during our visit. Her daughter and son-in-law were also very helpful and made wonderful co-hosts of the property. Our kids had a fantastic time playing whiffle ball off the main dock and floating docks, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. We also had the opportunity to rent a pontoon boat and small row boat. The rest of property gave them plenty of room for yard games, football, basketball, and jumping on the trampoline. The fire pits, grill and patio furniture were comfortable and let us create some family memories. We could not have asked for a better location on Eagle Lake. There wasn't much car traffic on the street and very few boats on the water during the weekdays. Check in / Check out was incredibly easy. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were spacious. It is obvious Becky has put a lot of time and effort into every detail of this house, as she had thought of everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable. This was the best VRBO rental we've experienced. We would highly recommend Becky's "Lake Livin' House", as we feel lucky to have found this lake house gem on peaceful Eagle Lake. Thanks Becky, for helping us relax and escape to lake life for the week. We would love to return in the future!

Beautiful Lakehouse!
My family had such a fabulous week here. The house is very clean and has everything you need and more! The kitchen is fully stocked and there are enough towels and linens for everyone. There are plenty of water toys and the kids loved fishing off the pier. The lake is nice to swim in and not busy when boating. It also has a great sandbar. It is in a great location with friendly neighbors and close to shops and restaurants. Becky was very great communicating and answered my questions quickly. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!
