"Gun-A-Love IT!" Lakefront getaway / retreat on Gun Lake
Welcome to our beautifully renovated home that offers 60ft of private frontage on all-sports Gun Lake at the south end in the quiet, Anchor Cove. Inside you will find an open concept floor plan that is excellent for entertaining, relaxing, and living those great family memories. The kitchen opens up to the family room and the stove faces the lake so you can enjoy the views while cooking. French doors lead to the vaulted ceiling master bedroom with a slider out to the deck.
There are two spacious bedrooms on the upper level. The first has a double bed while the second has two sets of twin bunk beds. Both also have great views of the lake. The expansive three level wood deck overlooks the lake and runs the full length of the house with nice built-in bench seats so that you can fully soak in the spectacular evening sunsets. The water is shallow close to shore and offers a sand bottom that is excellent for kids of all ages to swim and relax. There are two single person kayaks with life jackets that you can use to venture out on your own. The 100’ long dock offers a 10’ x 8’ sunning platform that reaches out to deeper water so you can dock your own boat or rent one from several places around the lake.
This is a home with real neighbors who live here year round, so please be respectful of them. Parking is limited to three spaces so plan accordingly.
The excellent location is close to Gun Lake Casino, Yankee Springs State Park with its expansive sandy beaches and inflatable water slide, Golf Courses, Gilmore Car Museum and the Bay Pointe Inn, which is just across the cove. We are less than one mile from the Barry County state hunting land for those looking for a fall hunting retreat.

Absolutely beautiful house on the lake with a perfect view of Gun Lake. Everything about the place is well thought out and was a pleasure to call it home for two weeks. Great location - very near places to eat and a grocery as well as the Gun Lake Casino. The hosts are wonderful - very easy to work with and communicate immediately. Rally nice kitchen with everything you’ll need for a vacation.
This is our 2nd year staying at this cottage. You feel like home right when you enter. It’s cozy, decorated adorable, and very well stocked. The location on the lake is quiet and peaceful. The host is very responsive and great to work with. We can’t say enough great things about our stay! Can’t wait to go back next summer!
Mark was there when we arrived cleaning up from the previous group. Explained how to work the keypad. The cottage was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed in the main floor bedroom was very comfortable. The large deck had room for everyone to relax, or play games at the table. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and floating on their tubes. The sunsets every night were beautiful. Had a great stay
Beautiful decorated lake cottage. Very clean and accommodating hosts. The sunsets were amazing. We rented a pontoon boat and had a blast. We all enjoyed floating and playing in the shallow waters at the cottage and kayaking. Bonus they had fans in bedrooms and extra pillows. We didn’t have any complaints and feel these hosts take very good care of everything. We hope to return someday! Stay because you’re Gun-a-love it!!!
Property was well cared for and fully stocked with anything you might need for your home away from home. We truly enjoyed our week long stay at this beautiful lake property. It was a wonderful vacation for our family.
Everything about this cottage was wonderful. It was updated and cozy, and extremely well stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were wonderful to work with and were very quick to respond to questions. We loved our stay and hope to return again!
This property was exactly as it looks in the pictures. A beautiful cozy lake house on a quiet part of the lake. We really enjoyed hanging out on the back deck and taking in the views.
We had a restful and relaxing stay. The home seemed professionally decorated with beautiful touches throughout. The place didn't lack anything, from soaps, shampoo, paper products and towels, they thought of everything which is nice to not have any surprises. I would definitely recommend this place.
My family and I had a wonderful week stay. We spent most our days fishing from dock and swimming in the lake! The house had everything we needed, and it is literally right on the water! Had so much fun making memories with my kids, we would definitely go back and do it again!
The location and home was perfect for us to visit our daughter's family. The house is charming and comfortable. I would recommend a couple things to consider. A king size bed, a blind over glass doors for evening and a door lock that was easier.
Our family loved your place!!! It was super clean, cozy, and had all the amenities you could ever need. The owners responded quickly to all questions which was much appreciated. You can’t beat the view from the spacious deck, especially the sunsets!
Super cute and literally right on the water!! We enjoyed the beautiful foliage and kayaking on the lake. Convenient location to all we wanted to see/do! Thanks!!
This is our 3rd stay at Gun-a-love IT! Every stay has been excellent. Cottage is always clean, well stocked and very comfortable! We will definitely be back in '24!!
We booked a week on the lake as a home base to visit family and friends around the area. This property was beautiful. It was just the right size with a big open living area. The swim area was large and shallow, perfect for young kids to play and for grownups to float around. When I had a couple questions leading up to our stay, our hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. We were absolutely impressed and had a great experience!
