Updated 5BR Lake Home, Close to Lake Michigan, Beaches, Skiing Welcome to our beautiful, fully updated 5 bedroom home on the gorgeous, private Sweet Lake in SW Michigan! The house sits on a large, secluded lot, with two piers and plenty of indoor and outdoor space. You can relax, swim, fish, or enjoy the lake with our kayaks, paddle boards, row and paddle boats in the summer, or you can ski, snowmobile, or ice fish in the winter. The home is conveniently located about 5 min from Gobles, 10 min to Allegan, 25 min to the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan, 35 minutes to Saugatuck. Bittersweet and Timber Ridge Ski resorts are 15 min away. The house offers plenty of room for a great family vacation where you can spend time on the water, visit the beach towns on Lake Michigan, or ski the nearby ski resorts! The entire home was completely remodeled in 2023 and with 5 bedrooms can comfortably sleep 10+ people. You are close to many Lake Michigan beach towns, multiple wineries, golf courses, hiking, skiing, snowmobile trials, and many local attractions! Sweet Lake is private, very peaceful and quiet (even on the busiest days of the year), and is known for its great fishing. Guests can use four bikes, a rowboat, a paddle boat, 2 kayaks, and 2 paddle boards (available May - October). From our two docks, you can swim, launch your kayak/paddle board, or fish! We have a swim raft on the lake and a game room in the garage (ping pong table, foosball table, etc.). Outside we have a grill, outdoor chairs/furniture, and a fire pit with seating. Sweet Lake has great fishing, and you can catch fish right off the docks (bass, perch, catfish, pike, bluegill, etc.). All guests accept the risks of using the swim raft, water toys and devices, walking on the docks, and being directly on the water. All children MUST be supervised when in the backyard, near, or in the water. The owners will not be held responsible in any way for accidents that may occur. The lake is also very beautiful in the fall and winter months! Come, relax and enjoy the views or use the house as your ski base (we offer ski storage in the garage)! There are two ski areas within 10-15 minutes drive from the house - Bittersweet and Timber Ridge Ski Resorts. Cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and hiking is available at the Kal-Haven trail state park (less than 10 minutes away). Several other state parks (Van Buren Trial and Wolf Tree Nature Trails) are also nearby. You can also come for ice fishing (we can't guarantee when the lake will be frozen). The entrance of the home leads you to a large living/kitchen area with ample seating and 55” TV. The fully updated kitchen is large and open, and stocked with everything that you need to prepare a meal. You can dine on the kitchen island or have a family dinner and the large dining room table in the adjacent family room. The kitchen connects to a massive family/dining room that has beautiful views of the lake. You can relax on the comfortable seating furniture with another 55” TV, enjoy the lake view, or have a meal at the dining table. All five (5) bedrooms are all beautifully decorated and have brand new memory foam mattresses for a great night sleep. The master suite and the second bedroom have king beds, third and fourth bedrooms have queens with an additional twin bed, and the fifth bedroom has two twin beds. The two bedrooms on the lower level are connected. The home has 2.5 completely updated bathrooms (one on the lower level). If you need to do laundry, we have a washer/dryer in the laundry room. The deck off the family room faces the water and provides a great setting to capture all four seasons at the lake. The unobstructed water views are spectacular, and you can even enjoy them while grilling dinner on our Weber grill. From the house, you just walk to the large lake-side deck, the fire pit area, and two docks, to enjoy the lake with friends and family! The house has a central air/heat and a gas generator. If you're looking for a great lake home that has all modern conveniences, beautiful views, and will give you the comfort of home, we'd love to host you and your family! \- Secluded private lake with great fishing (catch tons of fish directly from the docks) \- 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, row boat, pedal boat included \- Game room with ping pong and foosball tables \- Stocked coffee/tea station \- High-Speed Internet \- 2 Smart TVs \- Central Air/Heat throughout the home \- Fully stocked kitchen, outdoor gas grill \- Large lakefront deck, two piers, firepit Please note that no parties, loud noise, etc. are allowed at the property.

We were looking for a large place on a lake for a family gettogether, and this checked all the boxes. This house beyond exceeded our expectations! From the large and updated space, to the kayaks, paddle boards, large patio, and the fire pit at night. The house is very secluded and the direct access to the private lake makes it great for relaxing or having a fun day on the water. Awesome experience all around with a great location close to Allegan and Lake Michigan. Ivan was extremely responsive and polite, answering calls and messages before and during our stay. Book this house - you will not regret it! ##### Petar I. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John T.

The property owner, Ivan, was quick to respond to questions during the booking process and the one time I needed to contact him during our stay. The description of the property is accurate. Ivan did a great job of renovating this lake house. A great open concept that accommodated 10 adults comfortably. All of the beds were very comfortable. It was well supplied with essentials for cooking as well as paper products. Very good Wifi with a charging docking station so yo won't misplace your chargers. Decent fishing right off the dock or use the the paddle boat or rowboat to fish. Plenty of very good water toys to use too. The deck by the water is large with plenty of seating. If you feel like venturing out to eat there are several good restaurants nearby to choose from. 2.5 bathrooms was a plus for the 10 of us. Would definitely look into renting this lake house again for future vacations. ##### John T. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan C. Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Great This. Is a beautiful and well-maintained house with a gorgeous lake and dock. It’s just lovely. The only issue we had was that the property is VERY close to a pair of extremely hostile neighbors. This is not the owner’s fault of course but the whole week we felt we were walking on eggshells and always were worried that we might make too much noise or otherwise raise the ire of the unpleasant folks next door. There is only a thin wire fence that separates the two properties, and it’s plastered with”no trespassing” signs. The couple bicker with each other loudly. Otherwise the visit would have been idyllic—but we would not rent it again, unfortunately—no fault of the owner, who was lovely.. ##### Dan C.

Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway The house as seen from the street was plain but the inside (with very nicely updated) accommodations and the view of the lake more than made up for that! We had lots of space to sit in the family room, places for all 6 adults in the dining room, and spread out in the large bedrooms. The cool weather was pleasant enough that we could sit by the lake which we did several times. It was a very quiet neighborhood, which we appreciated. Lots of very nice touches in the house- plenty of towels, kitchen supplies, shampoo/conditioner, and nice appliances. Easy-to-operate door locks, and easy-to-understand directions. One suggestion would be a handrail on the front steps-it would give some security to older people as they go up the steps. All in all, we were delighted with the accommodations--the lake was lovely to watch. We made trips to Saugatuck, Holland, and Kalamazoo easily. We would come back again. ##### Debbie O. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha F. Sep 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Lovely property with a couple of hiccups My family met at this beautiful lake house from different states throughout the US & enjoyed our stay immensely. There were many pros with a few cons. Pros: 1. The house was clean and updated. 2. The lake was beautiful and calm. A lot of lake toys available. Fishing was GREAT 3. The owner was responsive 4. The area was rural and quiet with an easy drive to Holland, South Haven, and Kalamazoo Cons: 1.Listing had many inaccuracies:(a) No pool table (b) No hot tub (despite asking owner ahead of time), which was a key criteria for us. The pictures didn't show any place in which a hot tub could have been located &, when we arrived, there was mysteriously not a hot tub due to a "prior accident." The owner was going to give us $ back but did not. (c) The bedrooms in the basement are connected per the listing. However, to get to the bathroom, you must go thru the 1st bedroom. (d) Listing said brand new washer and dryer which was not the case (see below). 2. There were no dressers anywhere & no closets in the bedrooms downstairs. 3. Lack of necessities like paper towel, tp, and soap 4. The washer was broken. The owner said he knew about it but didn't get it fixed prior to our arrival. We had 2 infants & couldn't do laundry until 2 days before leaving. 5. Got a reprimanding text from owner accusing us of setting off fireworks. Babies were asleep (it woke them) and we were in living room. I responded "no" & he dug in saying "why would the neighbors say that?" It was very off putting. ##### Samantha F.

Open concept. Good lake toys. Two docks to fish from. Caught a couple dozen fish from the piers, crappie, blue gill, catfish, small and large bass. Ping pong table and fire pit area was well located. Only recommendation would be new gas grill and charcoal grill out by the docks. Lake was beautiful and super quiet. ##### Daniel K. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen E.

We went to Bittersweet and Timber Ridge which were both within 20 minutes. Ivan was a terrific host and was extremely accommodating with the very dramatic and unpredictable weather conditions. We're glad we didn't have to cancel and would stay again! Clean, firm mattresses, and beautiful setting. We had everything we needed. ##### Karen E.

When we arrived at Ivans property it was just as described in the listing! It was a beautiful lake front property with all the space you need to have a great stay. The property was well taken care of, and was very nicely decorated! If you are looking for a great getaway this is the place! The host was very helpful and responsive during our stay! Our group had a blast! ##### Jakub G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank K.
