Built in 1980, this unit sits beneath several mature maple trees and is adjacent to the “fire lane”, an access lane from the road, owned by the county, for the event fire trucks would need to pump from the lake. (Our family has been here since 1957 and I know of no time it was ever used by a fire truck. It was used once by a large wrecker responding to a guy that tried to drive across the lake one New Year’s Day. He didn’t make it.)
There is a sandbar where the lake meets the lot. A railroad tie retaining wall separates the lake from the lawn. It is about ankle deep at the wall. It is about knee deep at the end of the 40 foot dock. The shallow water remains quite warm. The swimming raft in front of the fire lane is about 120 feet from shore. It’s 5 feet deep at the ladder and 7 feet deep on the other side.
It has approximately 650 square feet of living space with 20 running feet of lake facing windows along the living and dining rooms. The garage and laundry room are attached. The kitchen is large with an expansive lake view. It has a center work island. The bathroom has a combination tub and shower. The bedroom has one double and two twin beds and spacious closets. There is a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is also a free standing fireplace in the living room that looks nice but is rarely used. The finished concrete patio is about 150 square feet, faces the lake and is shaded much of the day.
The structure sits on a double lot and is attached to a house. The units share the laundry area/breezeway but each has it’s own entry doors, water heaters, garage and plumbing. The other unit generally rents to small families.

The cottage is located approximately 4 miles from Interstate 94, equidistant from both exits 56 and 60. The terrain is gently rolling hills with many vineyards and fruit farms. The Paw Paw River is less than one mile away.
There are many things to do in the area but most guests tend to merely "hang out" at the lake. There is a public landing on the other side of the lake for launching boats.
Smoking is allowed outside only. Kitchen and hand towels are provided but guests must bring their own beach and bath towels.
The unit requires one step up for entry but is otherwise very accessible for handicapped.
Pets are not encouraged but will be considered on a case by case basis.
