Beautiful Lakehouse

The Evans Lake Boathouse is a spectacular stay. Evans Lake itself is a great private sports lake. Fishing, swimming, boating, tubing, and skiing are among the many things to do. The house is nice and roomy and has a beautiful view of the lake. The sandy beach and docks have a great beachy feel. We would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful Location, Amazing House, Great Communication

Couldn't have asked for a better place to have a retreat, the house was immaculate with plenty of space for hosting a big group and the views of the lake were unbeatable. The host, Bill, was very helpful and communicative before, during, and after our stay.

Hi there! I'm Bill, and I was born and raised in Michigan. As a lifelong resident of the state and a lover of the outdoors, I have always been drawn to the beauty and serenity of the lakes of Michigan's Irish Hills.

I'm proud to be a Superhost on another platform, and I bring that same level of dedication and commitment to every guest who stays at our Lake houses, all of which are Lakefront! I'm happy to coordinate with guests prior to their stay to ensure that everything is in place for a great vacation.

My goal is to ensure that your stay is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I'm always available to answer any questions you may have about the property, the area, or anything else you might need. I'm also happy to provide recommendations for local restaurants, activities, and attractions to make your stay truly unforgettable.

When I'm not busy managing the properties, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two kids (3 and 5), exploring the outdoors, and taking advantage of all that this beautiful area has to offer. I'm passionate about sharing my love for Michigan with others, and I can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.

Thank you for considering my property for your next vacation. I'm confident that you'll love it as much as I do, and I look forward to hosting you soon!
