About this property

Irish Hills -Perfect Place to make memories!

We have a sandy beach! You can relax with your toes in the sand, while the kids play on the beach. To cool off you can walk out into the water or venture out into the deeper area and go for a swim!
Escape to this beautiful ranch home with a private sand bottom lake right in your backyard! South Lake is a 100-acre private all sports lake, conveniently nestled in the Irish Hills. You can use the 2 kayaks, or the 2 pedal boats to explore the lake, enjoy a nice cozy fire at the firepit, or just relax and enjoy the beautiful lake view. The home has central air conditioning to keep you comfortable while indoors and every bedroom
including the great room has a ceiling fan. The huge great room with a dining area has plenty of room for everyone. Perfect to sit and relax or take in a movie on the Sony Google TV, all while enjoying a breathtaking view of the lake. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare meals and has a large island that will seat 4 people. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, all on one floor. The walk out basement gives you even more space to gather. There's a Foosball Table, Air Hockey Table, Basketball Game, Pac-Man video game, Giant Wooden Connect Four game and a game table for hours of endless fun. The Florida Room just off the great room is another space you're sure to love and enjoy with family and friends. Enjoy dinner on the deck, there is a patio table & chairs and a newer built in gas grille. We also have a pontoon boat on site that seats up to 10 people available to rent.
Just minutes away from Michigan International Speedway, other area attractions only minutes away include The Mighty Oak Par 3 Golf Course and Range, Cherry Creek Cellars, Hidden Lake Gardens, Bundy Hill Off Road Park, several area lake front restaurants and much, much more.

We always have a great time here. There is lots to do for the kids, and the adults enjoy the beautiful view and relaxing by the lake. The house is well equipped, and its owners are warm and welcoming. We feel like we’re staying at a friend’s place.

Golf trip

This place worked well for our group, we had 6 guys and there was plenty of room for us. We used the kayaks and peddle boats and swam in the lake and Angela responded promptly to any questions so I highly recommend.

The Perfect Weekend

We absolutely loved staying at this property! Very clean and equipped with anything that you may need. Our family had so much fun on the lake and would definitely recommend this property! The fishing was incredible and such a bonus to have kayaks and peddle boats to use at your convenience. Big thanks to Angela and Eric for a great experience!

Fantastic family vacation at the lake

Angela & Eric’s place was such a gem! It had everything you could want for a weekend at the lake for a multigenerational family. The views off the porch and out the back window are stunning and the sandy beach area (with toys) and shallow lake entry was a win for the kids and the adults. The basement filled with games was fun for all and great memories were made around the campfire. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer.

Fun in the Sun

The cottage was perfect for our 4 day getaway.😊 The owners supplied everything! Just sitting looking out the beautiful picture window was relaxing. Our young granddaughters had a great time playing on the beach and in the water. Also enjoyed boat rides on their very nice pontoon boat. Hope to return next summer.

Family get together

Siblings, spouses and mother stayed for a long weekend. It was exactly like the pictures! It was an awesome house! Many little extras and amenities. Although the weather wasn't good enough for swimming, we were able to spend a lot of time on the deck, porch and camp firing at night! Having the grill available was great as well. Thank you so much!!

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect set up for our group. We had 4 toddlers (2 under 2) and 6 adults. Plenty of room with plenty to do. Added bonus was having the boat with the house as the group could be accommodated based on nap schedules, etc. Angela & Eric were super nice, welcoming and responsive. We even got a fireworks show that we could see from the lake on the 2nd. Would recommend this place to everyone I know!

Perfect Place

We couldn’t be happier about our stay here! It was the perfect place for our family gathering, we had 6 adults and 1 toddler and it could have easily fit more. The property was beautiful, clean, and everything we were looking for in a stay on the lake! It was very accommodating for vacationing with a small child, it made it so much less stressful. Plus the hosts were amazing! They were very quick at responding to messages and did a great job at having the place stocked and ready for our stay- lots of clean towels, wash cloths, games, movies, kitchen supplies, and outdoor activities! We will definitely come back again and highly recommend staying here

Restful and peaceful

We are 6 women over 65.When we arrived there was adequate parking including the garage. The house is beautiful as the pictures. We had everything we needed. We didnt need to go out and buy anything. The beds were very comfortable. Pots and pans, bowls and utensils were plenty. The lake and the neighborhood were awesome. Highly recommend you book here!! And the owners were very communicable. 10 stars

Awesome

We have been attending a Michigan football game for the last 6 years. I have family coming in from Chicago, Texas California and Ohio. We all can say this was the best experience we have had. Angie was a great host we had great communication and she made our stay worry free. The house was top notch from the cleanliness, to the location, and the incredible view over the lake. I would recommend to anyone especially if you have children. well done.

Lovely cottage with great views and tons of activities

Stayed 4 nights at Angela and Eric's place. The house was beyond perfect. Plenty of things to do with paddle boats, kayaks, bonfire, tons of games in the basement. Our teens ages 12-14 were never bored. We rented the Pontoon which was awesome! View is amazing and relaxing. Not a busy lake which was great as well. There were 8 of us and more than enough space for everyone. Owners had great communication and exceeded our expectations. Could not ask for anything more!

AMAZING Family Trip

The lake house was perfect for our multi-generational family trip! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The Great Room was so spacious with ample comfortable seating to play games at night. The sandy beach was worth its weight in gold for all of the kids to play on!!! It was fun watching all of the fish & minnows in the clear water! All of us enjoyed using the kayaks & paddle boats to explore the lake. We rented the pontoon boat for one day and had a wonderful time riding around looking at all of the homes and fishing. It would have been perfect if it would've been equipped for tubing. The kitchen was well stocked and had all of the essential needs. The kids loved the basement, but truth be told they didn't use it much because the weather was gorgeous and they were outside most of the time. All-in-all, our family made the best memories while there!

This is the second time we stayed at Alpha on the Lake. The owners are very nice and easy to communicate with. It is nice to find a place that can accommodate my husband, myself, our kids, their spouses’ and grandchildren with good sleeping options. A lot of times a place will say it sleeps 12, and the have twin bunk beds and pull out couches. This place accommodates married adults with queen beds. The house also has a well stocked kitchen, with a cute coffee bar. There is plenty of seating for meals and hanging out. A nice little beach area paddle boats, Kayaks, fire pit and a pontoon boat that is also available to rent. We would rent again

Wow. A beautiful home on a beautiful lake. Our family was able to relax and also have a blast here. So many extras, ways for every family member to have a comfortable and fun stay, whatever their age. Kitchen has everything you could need, plenty of indoor and outdoor activities, well equipped bedrooms and bathrooms, and an awesome beach and dock. Place was very clean and stayed nice and cool in the heat. The yard was really nice and the landscape attracted beautiful butterflies and birds. Each of our family members told me separately that they would love to come back so we are already making plans to return! Thanks for a great family trip!
