About this property
Charming Serenity: A Cozy and Spacious Lake House Retreat Near Kalamazoo, MI.
Our cozy lake house will give you the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime. You will feel right at home upon entry. Mature trees surround the home with views of the lake from the screened in porch. 4 bedrooms and a finished basement make it the perfect house to share with another family or one large family. Walk the tree lined dead end road to admire the private serene lake. If you are looking for more adventure Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo are a short drive away. Looking to enjoy Lake Michigan, you can be there in under an hour. But honestly you probably won’t want to leave this comfy, cozy house!
