Three cozy bedrooms, plus a pull out couch, it easily sleeps 8 people. There are two full bathrooms along with a full kitchen, tv and wifi. The outdoor space has a patio, grill, picnic table, and a bonfire pit. A small row boat and kayaks are available upon request. Life jackets are required while using the boats. We recommend bringing your own but there are some that will be provided in the back room. We also recommend any children under 12 wear life jackets while in the water or on the dock. Ford Lake also has a public boat launch. (Please abide by all MI water safety laws including licensing and boaters' safety) Downtown Fountain is about 10 minutes drive with a gas station and small market. Ford Lake is about 30 minutes from Ludington which has plenty of local shops, restaurants, Lake Michigan beaches and a cute downtown. The cottage is also about two hours from Traverse City or Grand Rapids depending on which direction you're headed. FYI, the neighboring house has a Ring doorbell that faces the entrance of the cottage. We're a new rental, hence the lack of reviews, but please do reach out if you have any questions. We hope you love staying at our sweet abode on the lake! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Ski lift privileges ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Foosball table - Kayak - Ski lift privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113740000/113731300/113731226/da22552a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious/Renovated Wolf Lake Cottage Baldwin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=113731226&PinnedHotelID=113731226&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114870000/114866800/114866785/a35c10bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sleep 6, Lakeview Cottage with private beach, boat dock & spectacular views.
