About this property
Irish Hills Lakefront Escape | Dock | Swim | Close to MIS
Make memories at the lake; a short drive from Ann Arbor, Detroit and Lansing, Irish Hills offers the quintessential getaway. Antiquing, wineries, and MIS within moments; Wolf Lake Escape offers a lakefront getaway where the cares of our day melt away and we jump into lake life and the charm of Irish Hills and all it offers. The kids are jumping off the swim dock or heading out on kayaks, while the adults are grilling up on the deck. Get out and check out the shops and wineries and come home to roast smores at the firepit. A short 40 minutes from Ann Arbor or Lansing, 4 miles to Michigan International Speedway, or a quick walk from the house to the lake - whatever your vision for your getaway, we've got you covered.
The Cottage
A 1961 cottage that has been added to and renovated; the current owners added a gorgeous bathroom with luxury shower and upgraded the kitchen and outdoor areas. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home welcomes you in comfort. Tucked into a residential lake community on Wolf Lake in Brooklyn, Michigan you have quick access to any number of area amenities - or a short walk down the hill to the dock and swim platform. This property has a 30amp hook up if you have an RV for extra guests (welcome with a fee) and welcomes well behaved dogs (no more than 2) who will remain under the control of its owner at all times. Swimming isn't from shore, but a jump off the swim platform. Feel free to bring a boat to enjoy this 69 acre lake (max depth 35 feet) and neighboring Allen Lake.
Where You'll Sleep
One the main floor, there is a bedroom (up one stair) with a king sized bed. The living room offers a queen size sofa sleeper.
The second floor offers (2) bedrooms, one with a queen and the other a full bed
Enjoy Time Inside
The open living/kitchen/dining makes interacting easy. An electric fireplace adds ambiance, and the streaming TV makes movie night easy (streaming TV, bring your Netflix log in). The fully stocked kitchen makes whipping up breakfast or dinner a pleasure. The spacious bedrooms offer privacy, and a bathroom on each floor makes sure everyone has access.
Get outside
Plenty of parking, a large deck and down the hill a private dock and swim platform. (3) kayaks are available for use, a firepit, grill, and outdoor dining. This home is equipped with a 30AMP RV plug - extend your group by bringing extra space (for a fee). Note this escape offers a lovely view across the lake from its hilltop perch - which rolls downhill to the firepit and dock, and its a climb back up. While not overly steep, its worth noting its probably not the best choice for any groups with mobility challenged folks. Similarly, the lake front is best accessed from the swim platform making it best for families with kids ready to jump in from the swim platform, not those looking for a beachy experience (which is available at the nearby state park). Bring a boat and dock it and enjoy the 69 acre lake.
THINGS TO KNOW
- This property has (2) outdoor security cameras
- This lake has an ordinance that mandates all high speed boating, skiing/tubing ceases between 6:30pm and 10am
- Every booking will include a per booking fee for third-party damage insurance at $28/per stay.
- The owners boat is docked on premises; it is not available to rent, use, or access

About the host
Hosted by Kate Stoermer
Owned by Courtney and Jeremiah, they purchased this home and spent almost a year making improvements as their primary home. Needing a larger home, they sacrificed their lakefront but opted to keep it as a second home - they live nearby. Kate helps coordinate bookings and host the property, and is your first point of contact.
Why they chose this property
A quick drive to your own lakefront home, with proximity to MIS, antique stores, wineries, and all the charms of Irish Hills. Wolf Lake Escape is the quintessential lakefront cottage, with kayaks, a dock (shared with the owners boat), swim platform, nicely sized deck and updated home. The upstairs bath with its multiple body sprays is a terrific way to end a day of sun 'n fun. This house offers a 30AMP plug if you wish to extend your occupancy and bring a camper or RV (for a fee). We welcome up to (2) well behaved dogs; noting this is a residential lakeside setting where the neighbors homes are close so any pets must be trained to stay with you or restrained on a leash outside.
What makes this property unique
From the quick drive from Ann Arbor, Lansing, and Detroit this home offers all you imagine for your lake getaway - from summer fun to gorgeous wintery vistas. Looking to stay close to MIS? We are 4 miles away. Bring a boat or water toys - or enjoy our kayaks. Inside, the fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to whip up a meal or grill just outside on the large deck. The luxury shower on the second floor bathroom is dreamy, and overall this specious home is comfortable and welcoming. Keep in mind the 30AMP plug to hook up an RV or camper if you wish (please inquire)
