Contact us for details. The space As soon as you walk in the front door you’ll see the lake backed by huge trees through the large windows in the kitchen and sunroom through the open floor plan. There’s a wood fireplace and cozy sitting area on one side of the kitchen, large custom bar with 3 stools, huge kitchen farm table with seating for at least 6, which leads into the attached sunroom with large sectional. The hallway immediately off the kitchen/dining room leads to two spacious bedrooms with queen size beds. The second bathroom is equipped with a whirlpool tub and a Bluetooth exhaust fan/speaker where you can listen to music and relax. The second bedroom can be used as the ‘master’ as it has an attached, private, bathroom. A large laundry room with washer and dryer and utility sink are provided for your use. The hallway ends at an enormous third bedroom with a king size bed and plenty of room to either getaway yourself or let the kids have their own space to do so and has large glass doors with a view of the lake and a private entrance to the back yard. The third bedroom is directly connected to the 4th bedroom via French doors (see floorplan picture) and has a futon that is actually comfortable and is ideal for either letting all the kids camp out and sleep or if you have little ones you want to keep a close eye on. The intimate backyard has a stone fire pit and the property sits feet away from the lake. The lake itself is a natural, spring fed, cool lake that is up to 30’ deep and has blooming lilly pads for large parts of the summer; during the summer, we provide a swim dock to hang out and jump into the cool water. There are lilly pads along the shoreline of the property but open water trail like systems cut through the lake and really add to the charm of the lake. As you paddle west from the house the lake opens up more and more and this is where you’ll see sporadic swim docks. The entirety of the east, south, and west shores are completely undeveloped with stunning fall colors or unspoiled nature and beauty year round; it’s truly gorgeous and you’ll feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. In our opinion, it's easily the best lake to fish in the area. Guest access Access via smart lock. Private parking Other things to note The neighborhood you’ll stay in is a quiet neighborhood on a dead end dirt road where the home is directly on the lake and 900 square feet of pole barn across the street is the game room. The game room space is large enough that if you have bad weather you can play baggo within it and make a fire in the pot belly stove! It is a barn where there is electrical power, a fridge, and the previously mentioned amenities but it’s largely exposed studs and there is no running water, but it’s a wonderful space that has provided lots of good times. We’re located only a few miles away and we truly want to ensure you have a fantastic time, we certainly do when we’re there. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycle parking - Bicycles - Boat - Foosball table - Kayak - Table tennis - Water sports equipment - Hiking/biking trails 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) ### General - Bicycle parking - Bicycles - Solar energy - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34020000/34011900/34011801/b324c13a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Portage Lakefront - Great View & Location - 5 Bedrooms - 3 Baths - 2 Car Garage Pinckney - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 106 reviews CA $320 CA $629 total includes taxes & fees Oct 26 - Oct 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=34011801&PinnedHotelID=34011801&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82540000/82533100/82533007/1968e781.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### \*NEW Lake house/18 miles from AA!

Our toddler loved reading books they provided and playing with the board games. Our dogs were in heaven and had some great ball sessions in the back yard. I went on an awesome 10 mile run- I followed the Border to Border Trail right from the house and went up to some great single track at the DTE Trailhead.

Spectacular mountain biking on the DTE Energy Trail was just a short drive (or bike ride) away. This was our fourth trip to Chelsea, and our third rental in the area. This place comes out on top - lots to do and the best location you could hope for. ##### Joanne E. Stayed 19 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan P. Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Winter weekend with family Nice quiet location with beautiful views of the lake. Very comfortable for three couples (one with a child). Two of the bedrooms are separated only by a double set of glass doors, and you have to walk through one to access the other. It is clear on the floor plan that one bedroom is a walkthrough, but not so obvious that there are only a double set of glass doors (with no curtains) separating the rooms. So listing this cottage as four bedroom is a bit misleading. We were in Chelsea for a family event in winter. Would be fun to stay there in summer and swim in the lake. Chelsea is a charming little town, only 10 minutes away. ##### Susan P. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy C. Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Michigan lake life at it's best! For our annual friends' reunion, we enjoyed an amazing weekend at the lake house and impressed our out-of-towners with the beauty, tranquility, and wonder of Michigan summer/lake life. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, stocked with a full kitchen, and full of entertainment (TV, games, books). The patio with bistro lights is the perfect place to grill out and enjoy outdoor dining, fire pit with Adirondack chairs for cool nights. Most of all, we absolutely loved spending time on the lake (with provided kayaks, paddleboat, and canoe) and the lake is incredibly clean to swim in. We didn't want the day to end, and went out again for a peaceful sunset on the lake. The game room in the barn is stacked with ping pong, darts, and bikes (where we taught one of the friends how to ride!). Check-in/out was easy/convenient, communication with the hosts timely and impeccable. Can't wait to return! ##### Joy C.
