Whether you are getting the whole family together for a fun vacation or taking a romantic peaceful getaway, Hideaway Bay on Lake Diane in the rolling hills of southern Michigan is the place for you. With 3 bedrooms and a foldaway sofa with a queen sized mattress on a private porch, we can comfortably keep 10 guests with room to spare for couch or floor sleepers.
There is a very well equipped kitchen that can accommodate several cooks for those big meals and large dining areas both inside and out. Speaking of dining al fresco, imagine sitting beside and under huge, old majestic trees, while watching the sun set on the sizable porch that overlooks the water. You will also enjoy the symphony of crickets, frogs, and other wildlife every evening during much of the year. In the winter, enjoy the extreme hush of near silence when the ground is blanketed in fresh snow.
If you enjoy fishing, get out on the lake and pull in a huge bass or muskie, or fish right from the dock. You never know what you'll catch in the bay. Sorry, the bay is not an ideal place for swimming, but just outside of the mouth of the bay is the most popular swimming spot on the lake. Throw an anchor and make some new friends. We provide plenty of beach towels.
Two full baths allow for families to take care of all of their needs. We provide plenty of fresh bath towels for a large group as well. Also, some quality hygiene products are provided.
DID SOMEONE SAY SAUNA???? Yes we did. Large enough to fit 3 or 4. After a long and active day, it's an oasis.
If you work from home, our Wifi can handle almost anything you would need and there are two desks (One in the kitchen, one in the King bedroom) available to set up for work.
There are two wifi televisions to use, one in the main area, and the other in the bunk room which also has a play table with small stools tucked underneath and some kids books and toys. Two high chairs and a pack and play are tucked into accessible corners to save you from having to bring some of those bulky essentials.
There are multiple places to hang out and plenty of games for the whole family.
On the lake, there is a carryout that sells essentials and a full service restaurant with delicious food and live music that is accessible by land or water.
Hillsdale has a weekly street market that is a must do. From local produce including exotic mushrooms to art and gifts, you will not leave empty handed. Pokagon State Park and the outlet center are under 30 minutes away and there are several grocery stores and big box stores within that distance as well.
Golf courses and wineries are also an easy drive. Horseback tours are even hosted by a friend of ours who will be sure you have nothing short of a great experience.
All of that and more is available for you to enjoy. Even taking walks around the lake is just a fantastic experience and at the right time of day, you are likely to come across deer on your walks, but they may even be on the lawn. You may never want to leave the house!
