Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway at Hummingbird Hill Cottage!You’ll be on peaceful and beautiful, no-wake Buck lake where you can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming! Take a hike, ride bikes, or play disc golf in the beautiful Dr. Lawless International Dark Sky Park which is directly across the street! Whether you’re looking to have a couples getaway, a guys’ fishing trip or time with girlfriends, Hummingbird Hill is for you! Hummingbird Hill is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom space with two extra sleeping twin-size mattresses! The cottage has all you need for a relaxing trip! You’ll have the entire upstairs level! The basement is barricaded and off-limits to guests, but will be available and fully finished in the next year or two! The garage is off-limits, but you’ll have access to the carport! Buck lake is a peaceful and beautiful no-wake lake, located in rural Vandalia. We have one kayak, one paddleboard, a small fishing boat, and two adult bikes (please bring your own helmets). Dr. Lawless Park is across the street, and there are tons of bike trails! Our dock is a little crooked, but have no fear! It’s safe and sturdy! Many families swim in the lake, but they typically go the middle of the water, away from the seaweed, because there is a lot of it at the shoreline! \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ We’re only an hour away from Notre Dame, touristy Shipshewana, and Lake Michigan! Meijer & Walmart are 20 minutes away. Our dear friends own The Bullseye Market which has fresh cut meat, deli, baked items and a cafe! Dollar General is 10 minutes away. We have coffee and tea available, but Starbucks is 20 minutes away near grocery! Buck Lake does not have public access, but there are several sport lakes within a short driving distance if you’d like to bring a boat to a body of water. Please note: Michigan boating laws are different than most states. You need a Michigan boating license. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### 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. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks 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 - Bicycles - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78140000/78133600/78133533/w960h720x45y1-b41610ce.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nature lover's paradise!
