Great Palmer Lake Stay
Excellent lake front hous e with room for up to 12. Quiet all sports lake even on the weekend that we were there. Owner responds promptly to messages. AC cools both 1st floor and upper level very well, thus very comfortable day and night, even on hot day or evening. Small town of Colon nearby and setting in farm area. Very nice dining options within about 20 minutes. Yoder's Country Market in Centerville, Mainstreet Smokehouse in Mendon, and Prairies Lake Tavern with very good dinner options are among the places to go. Meijer stores in Sturgis and Coldwater along with small town grocery in Colon. Would definitely stay here again. Had 22ft tritoon delivered to Palmer Lake boat access by vacationpontoonrental.com located near Angola, IN (40 miles away) for tubing and to swin from.

Comfortable and peaceful get-away
We rented this home as a place for our family to stay while we prepared for a family wedding at a location nearby. Overall, it was a great fit for this purpose. While those attending to the wedding prep were away, those staying at the home were able to comfortably relax in the space while enjoying the beautiful view of the water, and of course do some fishing (that was the favorite part for most). Thank you so much for sharing your home! We had a great time. :)

Nice place
This home had a nice location on a pretty lake. It suited our needs well; however, the blue Adirondack chairs in the picture were not there, just a few plastic chairs for the fire pit (not enough for our group of 6) but they did the job. Owner offered plenty of firewood; however, which was great! He was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. Also, the indoor fireplace was not operational which we had hoped to use on chilly nights, otherwise the home had everything we needed for a great stay, beautiful views and fairly clean. The only entry into the super murky water was from the dock (which was stated in the description) but the lounge chairs on the dock were nice. The kitchen was very well stocked, and we appreciated that. The busy bird feeders around the home were a nice touch! Overall, we had a marvelous time and would recommend this lovely home.
