About this property

Lakefront Island Home. Family, Golf, Lakefront, Beach access & more. Sleeps 10.

Beautiful home on a small island with sweeping lake views, miles of walking, woods, beach. This is where you can rest and escape. After stargazing on the deck, patio or by the lake, you will wake up from the best sleep in this quiet and peaceful retreat and have coffee by the lake, and breakfast in the amazing sunroom overlooking the lake. The Island Lakehouse is positioned at the tip of the island with a broad and open lake view. The frontage includes an area big enough to play and spacious enough to be private.

All bedrooms feature king size beds and the loft has two additional twin beds.

This home boasts a beautifully designed kitchen, a spacious deck with a barbecue perfect for outdoor entertaining, and a luxurious zero-entry shower in the master bathroom. Enjoy stunning lake views from the patio, and convenience with a laundry room and an additional full sized fridge for extra food and drink storage. Smart TV features ROKU, Apple TV and high speed wi-fi.

Just a 3-hour drive from metro Detroit, 20 minutes from Big Rapids, 30 minutes from Mt Pleasant and under an hour from Grand Rapids, this is truly central Michigan. The private lake is right outside of the front door with the enclosed sunroom that overlooks the water, where you will enjoy morning coffee and quiet time. Nearby sandy beaches provide paces for sun and play. Golf options include small, easier courses, and high end courses including the amazing Tullymore. For the bigger water, you can head towards Lake Michigan, and any of the amazing places along the coast. For dining out, stay local and dine at Antlers restaurant, a destination winery, get a pizza, barbecue or ice cream under 10 minutes away. If you prefer the more familiar, there are many of those options as well in nearby towns. Horseback riding is also available nearby as well as local concerts in the warmer months.

Relaxing property
Wonderful property with great views. Was not good for swimming or fishing. The property did meet our group needs for this year. Well stocked and clean when we arrived. We would stay here again.

Gem at Canadian Lakes
I’ve been coming to Mecosta for almost 40 years and renting homes for about 10. This home and host are absolute gems. My entire family had space and wants to rent here again. The host is kind and organized. We loved our stay!

Delightful stay in traditional cottage
Our stay in this traditional cottage was delightful. We rented it to participate in a family reunion and had family on the lake. Views of the lake were very nice. Not good swimming at the cottage. Best feature was 3 king beds which is rare. Lots of room for our grankids with the bunk room upstairs.

Great location & abundance of inside/outside space
Great quiet location on Canadian Lakes with quick access to grocery store, dining and sports/golf. Listing & pictures does not do the amenities and bed/bathrooms justice!

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten Hydorn-Pfister

Host profile image
We are from Michigan and enjoy all the beauty of this state. We love sharing our home and helping others find a peaceful place to gather and create memories at the lake, at the nearby beaches, golf courses, local farms, towns and colleges. If you're looking for a place for a gathering or just a restful getaway, Our Island Lakehouse is near enough to do it all and far enough to get away.

Why they chose this property

Just a 3-hour drive from metro Detroit, 20 minutes form Big Rapids, 30 minutes form Mt Pleasant and under an hour from Grand Rapids, this is truly central Michigan. The lake is right outside of the front door with the enclosed overlook where we enjoy morning coffee and quiet time. Golf options include small, easier courses, and Tullymore, a PGA course. For the bigger water, you can head towards Lake Michigan, and any of the amazing places along the coast. For dining out, stay local and dine at Antlers restaurant, a destination winery, get a pizza, barbecue or ice cream under 10 minutes away. If you prefer the more familiar, there are many of those options as well in nearby towns. Horseback riding is also available nearby as well as small concerts in the summer months. We are never bored or lacking options!

What makes this property unique

The Island Lakehouse is positioned at the tip of the island with a broad and open lake view. The frontage includes an area big enough to play and spacious enough to be private.
