❤️ Lakefront Walkout Cottage, Beach, Dock, Kayaks, Sunsets on Pine Lake! 🐚🐟

Welcome to our charming lakeside retreat on Pine Lake, boasting an expansive 210+ feet of windswept beachfront facing the serene north and west, offering breathtaking sunsets. Our property features a lovely dock, perfect for summer relaxation, and a swim area with predominantly sandy and river rock terrain. Open year-round, this cottage is equipped with central heating and air conditioning, ensuring comfort in all seasons. Whether you're a small family, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or retired individuals, this clean, cozy, and child-friendly cottage is an ideal choice.

Savor the pleasures of lakeside living with campfires, soothing sounds of boats and waves, laughter, and invite family and friends over for swimming or cocktails. Your stay also includes two Pelican kayaks and several adult and kiddo life jackets. A spacious 20ft x 20ft deck is only 8 steps up from the water, and features a grill, table, and chairs for your enjoyment.

Pine Lake offers year-round fun, with vibrant fall foliage, and in winter, you can access the frozen lake from the property to enjoy activities like ice-skating, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and sledding. The lake is conveniently located just 25 minutes from Bittersweet Ski Resort. Pine lake has 2 public boat launches and a place to rent boats.

Inside the cottage, you'll find two cozy bedrooms. One of them doubles as a four-season room with a comfortable futon and some of the best views in the house, while the other bedroom offers a king-sized bed.

For your convenience, there's an attached three-car garage, with the first garage space included in your rental.

Additional information about your stay:

If you wish to rent kayaks, boats, or paddleboards, you can inquire with Pine Lake Boat and Motor.

Pine Lake has a public boat launch, and our dock can accommodate boats under 30 feet in length. The 660-acre lake offers excellent fishing opportunities, including panfish, bass, and northern pike.

If you rearrange furniture during your stay, kindly return it to its original position before checkout.

For extra accommodation (if you have a seventh person), the living room chair transforms into a small twin-size bed.

The dock is typically removed in October and reinstalled in late April. If you are staying close to those timeframes, please confirm whether the dock will be available during your stay.

While we welcome dogs, please keep them outside the main house (in the breezeway or garage) due to severe allergies. If they are hypo-allergenic, and dry then they can be in the house but keep them off the furniture. Nearby kennels are available, and kindly clean up after your pet.

For security, we have cameras at the front entryway and inside the two-car garage (excluded from the rental).

Smoking or vaping indoors is strictly prohibited.

If you have children or babies staying, kid-friendly rentals are available or just ping the owner.

We leave some campfire wood there, but if you need more it is available to purchase.

Lessons in waterskiing, zup-boarding, and wakeboarding (excluding surfing) are available for purchase during certain times of the year; contact the owner to arrange.

Lawn care occurs weekly, typically on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

In winter, snow removal occurs throughout the night or day whenever a few inches of snow accumulate.

Please be aware that neighbors may perform yard care at various times, including mowing, trimming, and leaf blowing.

Our water has slightly elevated levels of iron, which may cause brown spots on some laundry. We use a water softener and sediment filter to mitigate this issue, but it may not eliminate it entirely.

Periodic lake weed treatments occur during the summer. If you see a yellow notice on the property, please refrain from swimming or bathing near the shoreline for the rest of the day. You can still enjoy tubing or skiing offshore. This information is provided by Southern Michigan Lakes Manager Andy Tomasewski (PLMCorp.Net).

Garbage is picked up Tuesday morning (one day later on Holidays), so please have the bin at the top of the driveway on Monday night.

In 2022, we completed several renovations:
Refinished ceilings and most walls.
Refinished all floors.
Added Air Conditioning and Heating (HVAC).
Installed a Dock.
Created a beach play area for kids next to the dock with beach sand.

Fantastic for a family of four!
We found the home to be exactly as listed and very clean and welcoming. Communication with the host was easy and always helpful. Swimming in the beach area was so much fun as well as fishing from the dock! We rented a boat and used that during the week. We highly recommend this property and would love to come back!

Amazing!!!
My wife and I stayed at this home for a whole week. We rented a pontoon boat from “Pine Lake Boat and Motor” and spent every day on the lake. We enjoyed the sand bars, the sunsets, the outdoor firepit, the home, the surround sound, the yard, the open communication with the host, and the food from Bill’s on the lake! Every aspect was fantastic! We will definitely be back!!!

Perfect Family Vacation
We would return in a heartbeat. The place is incredible clean, which is something I value when booking a house. The bed is firm and extremely comfortable. The views from the house and outside are beautiful. We spent our days in the lake which has a good amount of sun and shade throughout the day with the trees. The lake has good gradient for kids of all ages. The host provided MANY outdoor toys for the sand, the grass, or the lake. A couple days were too chilly to go in the lake, but we spent it outside on the large grassy areas and downtown Plainwell is a short drive away, which has great restaurants, parks, and ice cream. Our host was very proactive too, letting us know that the propane tank was low and that he could drop off an extra tank. We accepted one night and it was dropped off the next morning. Don't think twice about booking this place!

Awesome views and Sunsets
My 89 year old mom and I had a great time at Pine Lake. (It was soo hot the week we were there we were not able to go outside much)We had family up one day (before it got hot & humid) and all the grandkids & their cousins loved the beach area and the water. The adults enjoyed the shade of the oak trees in afternoon. The views are fantastic from all the bedrooms, living room, and kitchen. We actually saw a Loon! We had never seen a Loon before. The sunsets are awesome. This place is great and will hope to be back June 2025

A great lake experience!
The home is in excellent condition and has a beautiful view of the lake. The sandy area is perfect for children. Large deck is conducive to being outside all day. Though we had some cold and rainy weather, we had plenty of room for the grandkids to play inside on those days. There are lots of large windows for the view and to let sunlight in. Owner responded quickly to questions. Though we couldn't bring our dog in the house, she enjoyed being on the deck and in the breezeway and the lake! Several areas of Pine Lake seem to have lots of reeds/lily pads, etc., but this area did not. Lake was clear and great swimming area for the kidsl Definitely would recommend.

Cute Little Beach House on Pine Lake
Our Family of 5 had a very nice stay at Pine Lake Beach House. Everything was decorated very beachy and cute. We had no problems with our stay We spent most days outside swimming and relaxing. We used the Kayaks and saw a Bald Eagle and a Hawk across the lake. One of the days we took a day trip to South Haven We ended each night with a family movie on the big flat screen tv with surround sound We did bring an extra air mattress for our 11 year old, which was a good idea. It would have been a little tight with my other 2 teenage girl's on their beds. One on the pull out couch and the other on the full bed. Overall, we had a great experience and had a nice family vacation

Great place in the lake!
I've stayed at several properties on Pine Lake my entire life with my parents. This was our first stay with others who hadn't been to Pine Lake. We had a great time. The place was clean and we were able to make room for our large family. We spent most of the days outdoors, which was wonderful considering we had great, hot weather! Took a boat ride one day to the sandbar. Got Icecream and pasta. Fishing. Kayaking. Playing in the sand. Great location and host was very attentive! Hope to be back!
