Snow globe

We needed to make a last minute trip to MI from SC to visit family. We were so lucky that this little gem was available. It is small and cozy but had everything we needed. The weather was cold and snowy. It was beautiful. It felt like we were inside a snow globe during our stay. It was only 8 minutes from our family which made it very convenient. We usually make MI our summer vacation but after this stay we are thinking of adding a winter trip. This was a wonderful winter retreat.

Comfort on the Lake

We loved this 1920's fully remolded cottage on the lake. The host included everything one would need for a nice relaxing stay. All the fixtures and features of the cottage are of great quality, and it is tastefully decorated. We absolutely loved the chandelier. We used the kayaks and paddleboat everyday. Looking forward to returning in summer.

Don't Hesitate to Book This Cozy Cottage on the Lake

We had a lovely visit! This was our first trip to this quaint, quiet area, and it did not disappoint. The owners provide SO many nice little amenities right down to cream and sugar. The provided kayaks and paddleboat were so much fun for fishing and adventure, while the fire pit is perfect for relaxing! This home is extremely clean, smells clean, and is well lit. We felt very safe and had no issues. It was a helpful option to be able to take our pets along as well. We will not hesitate to return next year!

I always hate to leave!

The best sign of an excellent vacation is not wanting to leave. My dog and I have been staying at this beautiful place on the water twice a year for many years. Kayaking, Paddle Boarding (I bring my own), swimming, bonfires, sunsets ... it doesn't get any better.

Perfect Long Weekend Away!

What a beautiful little home, on the most peaceful little lake. We had a wonderful long holiday weekend with our youngest kiddo and pups. The house was clean and felt so spacious. It was stocked with everything inside and outside we could imagine! Our youngest was up before the sunrise and ready to swim, so we greatly appreciated the beach area and docks. The hosts were incredibly kind when we met them, and so helpful. We had a blast just relaxing, doing some fishing, using the paddle boats/kayaks, and the view was incredible every sunrise/set. Thank you for an amazing long weekend away. We can’t wait to come back and visit again in the future.

Great place on a quiet lake.

My family and I stayed here in early June and we had an amazing stay. We used the kayaks and the paddleboats to spot many turtles in the lake. It is also very close to Fort Custer and its many mountain bike trails, we enjoyed coming back to the cottage to relax after a long day of riding. The cottage is well appointed, very clean, and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Emmerling

Host profile image
25 years ago we bought our cottage on Mill Lake to have a quiet place to go and get away from the busy every day routines. We also wanted our children to have a place to take their friends and enjoy the great outdoors. Our time was split between relaxing and having fun. Our summer weekends were consumed with tubing, fishing, swimming, attending the Hot Air Balloon Festivals, Worlds Largest Breakfast Table along with lots of local attractions. Winter weekends were spent ice fishing, ice skating, sledding and indoor puzzles and games. Thru the years, our family has built many memories on this lake and in town at festivals. In 2012 we purchased and rebuilt the house next to ours. Now our friends and family can also enjoy the area but yet have a private place to stay.

Why they chose this property

Great location just off the main road with only a 15 minute drive into Battle Creek or Hastings for unlimited activities, shopping and festivals. It is also centrally located between Detroit and Chicago. The lake itself is large enough to have fun on but yet small enough to not be busy or overcrowded.

What makes this property unique

Being a small, private lake offers a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Located on the east side of the lake offers longer evenings and views of the sunset. The dead end road keeps the traffic to a minimal. All sports lake offers endless water activities.
