Do you have family or friends in the Ann Arbor area? Want to rent a lake
house close by for the summer (or a portion of it) and build lasting memories!
In summer 2025, we are renting our lake house on a monthly basis. Minimum stay is 30 days. Remaining available stays are: mid-May to mid-June and the month of August.
Our property is on North Lake, a quiet lake 30 minutes from Ann Arbor and University of Michigan that is perfect for enjoying all water sports (swimming, kayaking, SUPing, fishing, boating, etc.). An ideal family home with views of the lake from every room, the property has a sandy beach, grassy lawn, swimming area, and dock. The rental includes access to two kayaks, a stand-up paddle board, and a canoe.
The lake house abuts the Pinckney and Waterloo state recreation area trails, providing access to hiking and biking directly from the house. The lake house is also a short drive from the award-winning DTE Energy mountain bike trails and Border to Border (B2B) hiking trails. The property has ample parking for four cars in the driveway. You can visit nearby Chelsea and Dexter for family-friendly events that run throughout the summer. Firm no pet policy.
