The cottage features a full kitchen and dining area, living room, 1 bedroom with queen size bed, 2 full beds in loft area, 1 full bathroom. Extra sleeping on sofa bed in the living room is available as well as an extra inflatable twin mattress. The waterfront is sandy and shallow, perfect for the little ones; about 100ft of shallow water. The lake gets deeper soon after the dock and is a popular spot for fishing year round. Guests can enjoy the lake with our kayaks, paddle boards, paddleboats, fishing rods, outdoor grill and using the bonfire pit right next to the lake. There are 2 boat launches you can use, please refer to pictures to see location of boat launch.. Book along with our other home to accommodate larger groups. Message me for other listing link or search "lakeview retreat on gunlake". Below are some of our Frequently asked questions: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Where is the closest boat launch in the area? There are two boat launches on the lake. Please refer to the property photos for a helpful map showing their locations. Is the fire pit shared with the other rental? No, your fire pit is private and exclusively for your use. Don’t forget to bring your own firewood! How many paddle boards, kayaks, and paddles are available? Are life vests provided? We provide 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards (each with their own paddles), and 2 paddleboats. Life vests are available in the storage bench. Please note that these are shared with the second rental on the property. Is the grill propane? Yes, it is a propane grill. Each guest is responsible for properly using and cleaning the grill after use. What are the check-out instructions? We’ll send you detailed check-out instructions the day before your departure. If you'd like to review them earlier, feel free to message us. Can I use the waterfront area? Absolutely! The waterfront area is shared between Lakeside Cottage and Casa Lakeview. We kindly ask that you be respectful of our other guests and share the watercraft. There are plenty of water toys available for everyone to enjoy! Do you have a boat lift I can use? We do not have a shared boat lift. Our only lift is currently used for our pontoon boat (which you're welcome to book separately—just message us for details). However, you’re welcome to tie off to the dock. Please message us in advance to confirm dock space availability for your boat. How do I access the dock? You can access the dock by following the path on the left side of the Lakeside Cottage property (4246 Trails End Rd). This path leads directly to the dock, where you’ll find our rentable pontoon, kayak rack, and paddleboats. Can I use the unopened snacks, soda, or condiments in the fridge or pantry? Yes! This is our summer home, and we love sharing what we’ve stocked with our guests. We run this on the honor system—if you use something, please replace it with a similar item. Before checking out, please discard any perishable items. You’re welcome to leave unopened, non-perishable goods for the next guest. Is there a grocery store nearby? Yes! We recommend Tom’s on Gun Lake—it’s the closest option and well-stocked with everything you need, including beer, wine, ice, fresh produce, and a meat market. As a second option, Town & Country Supermarket is located on the other side of the lake. Where can I fill up the pontoon or boat gas tank? We recommend the Citgo gas station located right on the lake: 11937 Marsh Rd, Shelbyville, MI There’s also a great pizza place next door if you’re feeling hungry! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Paddleboard - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing 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 - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82990000/82986000/82985998/66ee027a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeview retreat on GunLake - 2 separate properties available!
