Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kim Johnson
My name is Kimberly (call me Kim). I was born and raised in Hastings, Michigan. My husband and I met in high school and graduated in the same Hastings High school class. We both value a small-town family focused way of life and are grateful our careers and have allowed us to return to Hastings, Michigan in beautiful Barry County Michigan. We take great pride in offering you a upscale vacation experience from our welcome gifts to exceptionally clean home with every detail considered in the amenities we provide. This pristine home has been in our family as a summer lake house for nearly 15 years as well as the adjacent house (my parents) and the third house nearby is our personal lake home. You will enjoy the serenity of the location with very quiet neighbors (my parents) and happy to suggest Things to Do in our beloved hometown.
We are an active family with two teenage boys who enjoy water sports, fishing, hunting, hanging out with friends and adventure. You will find Middle Lake Vacations is ideally suited for similar active families.
My husband Mike works as a Financial Advisor but also assists the Barry County Sheriff department. I am a pharmacist and director of a neurology-focused medical science liaison team for a pharmaceutical company based out of Indianapolis. We live in Alto, Michigan (20 minutes away) and own a similar lake house one house over from this rental. My parents' full-time home is adjacent to this house. Someone is available 24/7 to assist any needs.

Why they chose this property
Middle Lake has had special meaning to us our entire lives. I grew up on a dairy farm less than 3 miles away and my husband’s grandpa was an avid fisherman at Middle Lake (especially ice fishing). The story is that he was fishing on Middle Lake when Mike’s grandma went into labor for Mike’s Mom. Middle Lake is the perfect size for a relaxing getaway with all the excitement and fun of an all-sports lake.
At 134 acres with a public boat launch nearby, we find our small speed boat (17 ft) and any size pontoon is a great way to spend a day or week. Excellent for fishing and lake kayaking, the diversity of things to do makes Middle Lake Vacations never a boring moment.
We look forward to hosting you at our beloved Middle Lake Vacation home and sharing suggestions of Things to Do in the surrounding area.
