Get back to nature and experience lake life in style when you stay at this brand new, secluded 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom custom vacation home. Boasting over 3,200 square feet of living space and sleeping accommodations for 12, this home is the perfect lake house for families looking to get away from the stress of every day life and reconnect with nature and each other.

THE PROPERTY
Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Double Bed | Bedroom 3: Double Bed | Bedroom 4: Double Bed | Bedroom 5: 2 Single Bunkbeds with Trundles
Natural light pours over the open great room through a towering wall of windows that overlooks a wraparound porch and the serene Bolt Lake. A stunning wood-burning fireplace surrounded by magnificent stonework is the highlight of this already beautiful space. Adjacent to the living area lies the dining area, where you can bring the whole family together around a charming wood table for a gourmet meal. The first floor also hosts an expansive family room with a large sectional sofa and an 85” flat screen TV. The family room also has a ping pong table for competitive family fun!

Prepare tonight’s menu options in the fully equipped kitchen, which comes complete with everything you’ll need to cook all your favorites. A charming breakfast bar allows you to keep the chef company while they work their magic in the kitchen.
Spend some time in the third floor loft, accessed by ladder and primed for entertaining afternoons at home. The space is brightly lit with natural light flooding through large windows and includes a top of the line Fooseball table with additional toys, games and puzzles to keep the youngest (and often oldest) members of the family entertained.
The second floor seating area features a flat screen with Internet TV so you will never miss an important game or favorite show. The DVD player and selection of family friendly DVDs offers a great option for rainy days.

The second floor also hosts 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with double sinks and a bath/shower combo. The home is ready to accommodate the youngest of guests with an available pack-n-play for sleeping and a high chair for dining. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and offers a beautiful en suite bathroom with double sinks and a custom walk-in shower. 2 additional bedrooms, each with double beds, are conveniently located on the first floor off of the family room.

Bask in the serenity of the surrounding woods and lake views as you step out to your own outdoor oasis. The screened in porch with seating for 8 is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a guaranteed bug free dinner. Grab a good book and lounge on the wrap around porch. A short trail brings you down to the private dock where you can enjoy unrestricted access to the water during your stay. Your stay includes access to 3 kayaks, 2 stand up paddleboards, a paddleboat and a canoe. The property also boasts miles of groomed trails offering scenic nature walks all year round. For additional activities, follow one of the paths to the custom archery and 120-yard gun range. After a full day enjoying the property, a fire pit at the waters edge is the perfect spot for toasting the day and roasting marshmallows.

A truly special place. I could not have asked for a better property to spend a long weekend with good friends surrounded by nature but with all the modern conveniences indoors to ensure as relaxed a stay as possible. I would love to book another stay in the future.

The house is truly spacious with multiple areas for activities or just relaxing. Plenty of space for our three generations. The ping pong table and foosball were a hit with the grandkids. We enjoyed the many puzzles and games when it rained. The dock was great for swimming, paddle boarding and launching kayaks. We had great fun exploring the many lakes and hiking on the property. The fishing was good. We would definitely stay here again, everyone had a great time and was impressed with the house and property.

30th Birthday Weekend

We booked this property to have a relaxing weekend over food with friends in a beautiful space. The house was amazing and a great size for our group of 10. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and we spent a ton of time cooking meals to enjoy together in the space. The property was stunning and so private. We absolutely will be back!

Perfect Getaway Home

Tha Land is a perfect getaway from the busy city life! We enjoyed our stay very much, even the kids had a great time. The house was very clean, kitchen fully stocked, and lots of games to keep us all entertained. The big screen tv was a plus to watch Sunday football. The location was perfect, the surroundings were ideal for afternoon family walks, the fire pit by the lake was a nice touch also. Our overall stay was perfect! We will definitely be coming back.

Family Summer Gathering

We spent a week with our five children, their spouses and 3 grand kids. As advertised, it promised peace and solitude and it delivered. We spent the hot days at the dock swimming and on the paddle boards. We brought the Blackstones and along with the supplied grill, we cooked every meal outside on the deck. The boys had a great time using the gun range. On the rainy days, enjoyed the ping pong table, games and foosball. Groomed trails are everywhere and we saw many deer, bald eagles and a family of swans. All the kids gave the week 5 stars!

Family vacation

This property is kayak heaven. Explored all the connecting lakes and we highly recommend if you love kayaking. So much wildlife several pairs of trumpeter swans, Eastern River Otters, many deer, so many birds, and small critters. Fishing is also good. The property is very secluded. Great property for dogs and the trails were fun to hike on. Swimming was another plus and you are able to swim right from the dock. We also loved the ping pong and played many hours. The washer and dryer made washing towels and clothes a breeze. Golf courses near by. A few maintenence items could be attended to but didn’t detract from all the great reasons to stay at this home.

Back to nature

Fabulous home. Trails were great - so many and well maintained. Our dogs loved every walk and scent. Kayaking 2-3 times a day. So many deer, cranes, swans, heron to see. Even a bald eagle! The lakes were great to kayak on - Clark Lake was so large - had it all to ourselves. Amazing stay overall.

Wonderful private getaway

We loved out time at "The Land." The house was spotless, spacious, and was set up well for a group of our size (12). The bluetooth speakers throughout the house were a nice touch that we utilized. We loved hanging out by the lake around the fire, and explored the trails. Albion was a short 10 minute drive and we took advantage of that and went in to town for dinner. Everything was as it should be, check in was easy, as was check out. This property is highly recommended!

Wedding in Jackson

This house is gorgeous and unique. Had everything we needed and lots of space for family together yet still have privacy. So neat to see deer every morning! Directions are tricky but owner was quick to respond to our call. Close enough to get to civilization but far enough out not to. Beds were comfy and the home was neat and clean. Will be back again!

Didn’t want to leave

The photos don’t do this place justice, it is stunning. The beds are comfy. The house had everything and more inside and out. We had so much fun in the lake. We explored all the connections to the lake in the many boats they have. Everyone from age 9 to 50 had the time of their lives and we hope to make this our new annual spot. Can’t thank the Hart family enough for sharing their amazing place with us. We are forever grateful for the memories made.

Amazing Property and House

The property and house are fantastic. Tons of windows and natural light. So many deer on the property. Any time you look out the window you see a deer. Owners check in instructions were detailed and easy to follow. Bose surround sound that was throughout the house and onto the deck was nice. Cannot get more secluded. But not too far of a drive from civilization.
