About this property

Welcome to the Wheatley Lake House in Lake George

Welcome to our cozy little house in Lake George, Michigan. We hope you will love our little piece of paradise as much as we do. Although we are not on the lake, we are as close to Lake George without being on the lake. The primary bedroom is spacious with a king size bed. The second bedroom is small and unconventional but very functional with a full-size bed, its own half bath and houses the washer and dryer. The large foyer area can transform into a mini third bedroom with a single murphy bed. In a pinch there is also a rollaway bed in the primary bedroom closet. At the end of our street is a small neighborhood beach area with a bench where you can sit back and enjoy the scenery, go swimming, or do a little fishing. Around the corner is the public access boat launch for Lake George and there is another public boat launch with a beach / park a very short drive away at Shingle Lake. Our little downtown boasts the Swiss Inn which is our local bar / restaurant. The Depot, our convenience store, has awesome pizza and ice cream. We also have a Dollar General Market that carries most anything you may need. There are grocery stores in nearby Harrison and Clare. There is lots to see and do locally and within a short drive. Close by we have Living the Good Life Alpaca Farm, Snow Snake Ski & Golf, DNR trails, and Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park. There are plenty of golf courses nearby. We have Eagle Glen in Farwell, Devil's Knob and The Tamaracks in Harrison and Gladwin Heights in Gladwin. Soaring Eagle Casino is also just a short drive away in Mount Pleasant. Also, not far from the casino is a great restaurant called Mountain Town Station. Gladwin is a short drive that has a great restaurant called the Riverwalk Grill in the Riverwalk Place resort and Spa. In the fall Gladwin also has a wonderful little cider mill called the Fruitful Orchard with cider, donuts and a wine tasting room. If you are a foodie, there are lots of great restaurants in Cadillac. Some of my favorites are Burke's Waterfront, Lakeside Charlies, and Dockside Inn. Our town is golf cart / side by side friendly, so bring your toys and boat to enjoy everything our lake has to offer. Our community has a few special events to enjoy. Among them are our community parades, our annual car show, 5 K walk, boat poker runs and side by side scrambles. Join one of our Facebook pages to see all of what is happening in our Lake George community. We now have in our little downtown area Lake George Boat & ATV Rental. They provide rentals of boats, paddle boards, kayaks, ATVs, golf carts, bikes, lily pads and more. So, come on out to Lake George and enjoy our little piece of paradise. Please be aware that this area is not known for good cell phone service.

Will always book here!

Our group is an annual golf outing trip and play Eagle Glen and Snow Snake courses for the weekend. This house is only 15-20 away from both! Though the best part is working with Denise! She’s easy to work with and has always made our stays special. She remembers us from the previous year and wrote a kind person note and provided well needed snacks. She also looks at bookings in advance and allows you to check in early or check out late if she can accommodate it. 10/10 would recommend

Beautiful unplug!

We had everything we needed and more to be comfortable in a beautiful out of the way setting. We unplugged and My teenagers were creative, we took naps or roasted smores! we visited the alpacas, go carts, bowling and even had fun at Farwell historical museum meeting Linda and Alice. Everyone was so nice especially the host! Definitely one of our favorite!

WOW!!! Such an awesome place!

I would very highly recommend this beautiful cottage! It is very remote and adorable!!! Clean, great WiFi, awesome grill and less than a 2 minute walk to a nice little swimming area, there is also a beach nearby, a good bar with strong drinks, an alpaca farm that is free to visit, and it is so quiet! It was our anniversary and all we wanted was to relax, we got that and more! We will certainly be back!!!!

Comfortable week

This home is one of the more comfortable homes that we have rented. It is not large but it has everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. Just a few houses from Lake George and close to the boat launch. There is a cider mill about 40 minutes from the house. An Alpaca farm 5 minutes up the road. Casino is 30 minutes away. The house very clean and well stocked. We highly recommend it.

Amazing Lake George Stay

We had an outstanding time at our stay. We were in town for a wedding and the stay exceeded our expectations. Very close to the water where you can just jump in, amazing walks up the road. The house was amazing! Plenty of room and the kitchen had everything you need. Would recommend 10/10!!

Comfortable Property in Lake George

Nice, full house located in Lake George just off Arbor st. The property is clean and adequately accommodated 4 adults. It’s conveniently located just and very close to town. We used the cabin primarily for some extra space and a place to sleep as we have family that lives down the road, directly on the lake. We would recommend and definitely return next time we are in the George.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Wheatley

Host profile image
My husband and I bought our little lake house in 2015. He grew up coming to Lake George on family vacations. His father bought a mobile home on the other side of the lake. His mother and stepfather bought a home close by on Arbor and his sister and husband moved to some land right on Bringold. He loved Lake George so much he wanted to get a vacation home there with the plans on making it our retirement home. When Covid hit he was able to take advantage of being out of work and took an early retirement and I worked from home. It was a safe and peaceful place to be during the craziness that was going on in the world. Unfortunately in 2022 he got Covid and passed away. For as much as I love it in Lake George, I just don’t have as many opportunities to get up there and with the loss of his income I decided it would be a good opportunity to share our little home with others that would enjoy it when I could not be there. If you walk down to where the street dead ends at the lake you will find a bench I built to honor his memory. He used to walk down there every day with our cat that adopted us as a stray. I hope you enjoy our little lake house as much as we did/ I do. It is a such a wonderful place to be and such a great little community. I can’t wait until I can retire and move up there full time.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because we had family very close by and fell in love with the house as soon as we saw it.

What makes this property unique

Hmmm there really isn’t anything unique about our property but we love it just the same. It’s a place to get away and enjoy life.
