Summer Rental 4 Bedroom Lakefront Home Near Ann Arbor/Chelsea/Dexter & Rec Trail

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.

The Space

Main floor: As you enter the 3,000 square foot house, you get your first stunning views of the lake as you enter the kitchen. The main area has an open living room and dining for six, with two sets of sliding doors that give you access to a large deck with breathtaking views of the lake. The living area has low-maintenance bamboo floors and is furnished with a smart TV, stereo system, and ample comfortable seating. The deck features a gas grill and outdoor dining for six. The well-equipped kitchen has an island with seating for six, a dishwasher, and double oven. The main floor also has one large bedroom with a double bed, and a full bathroom and tub/shower across the hall.

Second floor: The upstairs features three bedrooms that each have a queen bed. A fourth upstairs bedroom is currently configured as a study, with a desk for those who need to work remotely and a double bed. There are also two large full baths with tub/showers.

Lower walk-out level: The downstairs has a large family room with a piano, a utility room with washer/dryer, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower that is handy for showering when you come in from the water. The patio beneath the deck can be accessed through two sets of sliding doors. Stairs lead down to the water, beach, and dock.

The house has central air conditioning and each bedroom has a ceiling fan to keep you cool if it's a hot summer. It is equipped with wireless internet and there is a generator that automatically turns on if there is a power failure. A land line is available for domestic calls.

Our lake house is located on a hill with steps down to the lake. The house is not handicapped accessible but the first floor with its spacious bedroom and full bath and access to living/dining/kitchen/deck areas can be reached by 4-5 steps.

Wonderful stay

We had a great time at the lake house. The house was very clean and well kept. The kitchen had everything you needed! We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals when traveling and this was the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had! Our adult children and their spouses lived the kayaks and paddle board and we had wonderful visits around the fire pit.

Perfect family lake vacation!

Cindy's beautiful lake place was perfect for our family of four -- two parents, and 18 year old and a 21 year old. The house is immaculate, incredibly well equipped, with plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms and gathering spaces for a group significantly larger than ours. The lake itself was perfect for swimming and boating; the water was clean, the bottom of the lake was comfy for feet, and the grassy area next to it had lots of seating and a firepit. Cindy was easy to communicate with. The nearby towns of Dexter and Chelsea are well worth a visit, and of course Ann Arbor is only 25 minutes or so away. We may come back again each August, to help our son move into his digs at UM! Really can't recommend it enough.

Great place to stay!

House was amazing, very well appointed with everything we could think. Check in was easy. My daughter and I took the canoe out fishing a few times and caught a ton of nice bass.

Great Lake Front Rental

This rental property is great place to spend your vacation. The house is in exceptional excellent condition and is very clean and comfortable. The lake (North Lake) is very clean and clear. While standing on the dock you see the bottom and fish swimming around. The owner communications is excellent. House keeping and grounds keeping is excellent. We had a very very good experience and enjoyed our time at North Lake.

Great family vacation on the lake!

I took my husband and his family to see where I’m from in Michigan and we stayed in North Lake. It was a perfect vacation! There is plenty of living space to share and the beds were very comfy. We used the kayaks and paddle boards nearly every day, and ended every night sitting on the deck with a perfect lake view. Only a short drive to downtown Chelsea, Dexter or Pinckney. Highly recommend the Bearclaw drive through coffee right down the road as well. Would definitely book this home again!

Wonderful Stay

We’ve previously stayed in VRBOs as part of big family get togethers but this was the first time we have stayed just on our own as a family. We had a WONDERFUL stay!! The location and set up were perfect for us. We knew how everything worked and where everything was (thanks to the Host) which made our stay great and smooth. We all enjoyed ourselves at such a lovely home.
