Where rustic living meets serene countryside bliss, welcome to the Iconic Ivy Lakehouse. This tasteful estate boasts an impressive blend of simplicity and comfort all while enveloped by gorgeous views of the picturesque 660-acre, all-sports lake, Pine Lake. Situated on its own sandy corner with 100 feet of lake frontage, this residence offers privacy and seclusion while still being conveniently located near city amenities. You can rent a pontoon boat right next door for your stay.

* Note, this property has over 30 five-star reviews, check additional photos for them, from previous property owner, from guests who stayed here in the past.

The entire beach house consisting of 9 bedrooms, 13 beds, 2 bathrooms, a house-long porch, and a private beachfront, will give you a bounty of space to live your Michigan dream! Each of this retreat’s bedrooms offers different sleeping arrangements, and with 2 full bathrooms, this home is ideal for hosting large gatherings. The character and charm of The Ivy Lodge at Pine Lake will captivate you for a unique and family-friendly stay!

The main floor has 3 bedrooms, a bright & open living area w/access to the expansive lakeside covered deck & 2 full baths. Original wood floors are throughout the cottage. The 2nd floor has 6 bedrooms to choose from. There is room for up to 21 adults to sleep. The walkout level features a large kitchen area w/all appliances, center island w/stainless steel countertop & seating for 4+, ample dining & living space, bath & laundry.

Relax and unwind on the beautiful back porch that spans the length of the home, offering stunning views of the lakefront. With plenty of comfortable seating to fit all your guests, this porch is the perfect spot to enjoy the tranquility and fun of the surroundings. The estate also features two large private docks for easy access to the lake's sparkling waters. Guests are welcome to use the estate’s kayak, paddle board, swim raft, and swim vests for fun for the whole family! In addition to the spacious porch, the property boasts a fire pit right on the beachfront. With its perfect East-facing view, you can bask in gorgeous sunsets from the long back porch or sandy fire pit space.

Activities Throughout the Seasons:

Spring and Summer: Enjoy the budding trees and blooming flowers as you explore the surrounding countryside. Take leisurely walks along the lakefront, go fishing off the dock, or simply relax and soak in the beauty of nature. You can rent a boat right next door as well as soon as it gets warm enough for boating season.

Fall: Experience the vibrant colors of autumn as the foliage transforms into a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, and yellows. Take scenic drives through the countryside, go hiking in nearby parks, or gather around the fire pit for smores.

Winter: Embrace the tranquility of winter with activities like ice fishing, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing on the frozen lake. Hit the slopes for skiing and snowboarding adventures at Bittersweet Ski Resort.

Important note for the colder months before you book:

The Ivy Lodge is an iconic lakefront property built in the late 1800's so there is no furnace in the house because of the age of the home. However, we have a large gas unit in the kitchen, a gas unit on the wall of the first floor. We also have an electric wall unit on the lower level, and an electric wall unit on the 1st floor. We also have space heaters for rooms.

Very quaint cottage for a large family or group to stay

This 3 level house was perfect for our big family to celebrate the holiday. Having the living area and kitchen in the basement was perfect with bedrooms on the 2 upper floors. Would definitely come back with family again.

A total gem!

This place is *everything*! It's located right on a gorgeous lake with a usable dock, floating raft, paddleboard, and hammock. The huge balcony is perfect on a summer evening. I rented this place for myself and 12 other friends/family for my 40th birthday weekend and with 9 bedrooms and dozens of beds, we all basically had our own rooms which was a major plus!! The house was clean and organized and had TONS of communal space for hanging out. It was beautiful, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is also really big and perfect for cooking. We had an absolute blast staying at this place and I highly highly recommend it for anyone planning a fun weekend at the lake with a big group !
