About this property

Nestled Lakeside on the beautiful Heart Lake.

Tucked beside the serene waters of Heart Lake, lies a snug abode, perfect for a tranquil retreat. Situated by the lively shores of a public sports lake, it provides ample opportunities for fishing and various aquatic pastimes. Whether seeking a joyful family excursion or a romantic getaway, this charming retreat is conveniently located near numerous northern attractions and entertainment options.

The sandy shoreline offers an ideal spot for swimming, complete with a dock and swimming platform. Nestled beside one of Michigan's cleanest and deepest lakes, it's a haven for aquatic enthusiasts.

Indulge in the simple pleasures of roasting s’mores by the lakeside fire pit or unwinding on one of the two decks.

From 7:30 pm to 11 am, the lake adopts a serene ambiance, with no sports equipment allowed unless moving at a slow pace with minimal wake, fostering a tranquil environment for kayaking and paddleboarding.

Conveniently located a few doors down, the public launch facilitates easy access to and from the lake.

Excellent spot in my favorite part of Michigan

This is an awesome, fairly private space right on the water. Perfect place to unplug for a while, with plenty to do nearby.

Great host -Everything you need!

Property exceeds listing details! Everything we needed was here- well equipped kitchen that provided us a great place to cook when the rain brought the bbq inside. A cabinet full of games for all ages and when it cleared up all the makings for s’mores for our bonfire. The best surprise was the hot tub looking out at the lake. Great property!

Perfect up north lake retreat for our family

We loved everything about our stay. Jeff is friendly and very responsive. House sits on a large piece of property on the east side of the lake. Private feel with great sunsets. Sandy Beach. Kayaks, dock, and Swim Platform. Hot tub to end the evening soaking up the sunset afterglow. Bedrooms are large and upstairs making it possible to enjoy the evening post kids bedtime. Kitchen has everything we needed. Close to great golf and the au sable River. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful spot on the water

We traveled with our 2 kids and another family of 4 over the 4th of July. The house is nicely updated with comfy beds and furniture. As someone who cooks a lot, I appreciated the quality kitchen utensils, as most rentals have dollar store quality supplies. The kids loved the lake and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The lake is clean and wasn’t very busy even on a holiday weekend. The owners were kind enough to put the dock in so that we could bring a boat. Communication and check in were easy and pleasant. Would definitely stay here again!
