Lake Cottage Retreat on Duck Lake • Private Dock, Hot Tub, Arcade, Pickleball, Gig Fiber Internet, EV Charger, Firepit
Welcome to your ultimate Southwest Michigan lake escape—where private lakefront living, resort-style amenities, and modern connectivity come together to create an unforgettable experience.
This is not just a place to stay—it’s a destination designed for families, groups, and extended-stay guests looking for the perfect balance of relaxation, entertainment, and convenience. Whether you're planning a summer vacation, a fall getaway, or a “work-from-lake” retreat, this property delivers a rare combination of features you simply won’t find in most lake homes.
Situated on a beautifully maintained private property with approximately 120 feet of direct lake frontage, this cottage offers a peaceful setting with easy access to everything that makes Southwest Michigan one of the Midwest’s most desirable vacation regions.

Private dock perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, or fishing
Easy fishing directly from the dock—great for all ages
2 kayaks and 1 paddleboard included for guest use
Convenient boat launch just ½ mile away
Association beach access just ¼ mile away for swimming

Spend your mornings enjoying calm water and sunrise coffee, afternoons on the lake paddleboarding or kayaking, and evenings watching the lake settle into peaceful quiet.
This private lake setup gives you the freedom to enjoy the water at your own pace—without the stress of busy public access areas.

Outdoor Living Designed for Connection

Fully equipped arcade room

This is the kind of place where traditions are started, groups reconnect, and guests return year after year.
