In the summer you can shop the oversized flea market in the middle of the week. Swing past Pokagon State Park, Angola, IN where there are always many activities. Have dinner at Timbuktoo's, Fremont, IN. There's also the Clubhouse Sports Bar in Camden that serves a good burger. Bryan, Ohio has an interesting Restaurant called Father John’s (Great food in an old church) featuring their own farm raised buffalo. Nascar fan? Nascar races at the MI Int'l Speedway in Brooklyn, MI. It's just about a short hour away. Stay here and enjoy both worlds in one stop! For you car buffs; the Auburn Cord Dusenberg Automotible Museum is not a far drive, and neither is the Gilmore Car Museum, Hickory Corners, MI (Battle Creek), or the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, IN.

It goes without saying, Hillsdale County is known for its many lakes, great hunting (one of the top counties in MI for number of deer), fishing (perch, blue gill), swimming, sunbathing, boating, wake-boarding, snowmobiling, sledding, biking, and hiking are all just outside the door, with restaurants, golfing, horseback riding and other activities just minutes to a 1/2 hour away. If you like wine tasting tours, you are in the right place. Several wineries are conveniently located within a half hours (+/-) drive (Satek and Briali Wineries in Fremont, IN; Stoney Ridge in Bryan, OH; and Cherry Creek Cellars, Albion, MI). Do you "savor the flavor" of an exceptional craft brewed Beer? Travel to Kalamazoo and experience Bells Brewery or Arcadia.

Dark Horse Brewery home of Bad Ass Beer is located in Marshall MI and offers Taproom Tours. Do you dream of playing Craps, Black Jack and pulling the lever of Slots?

Lots of seating inside and out. On the lake with beautiful views and it was only steps from the house. Enjoyed the fishing and the pontoon boat was a big plus...can't beat the rental price of the pontoon. Great hosts and excellent communication. Will definitely plan to stay again. ##### Jim A.

A little out of the way, but not really an issue. Actually had more amenities than expected. Used the pontoon boat, nice run around several small lakes. Nice decks, screened-in room was very nice. ##### Mike S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn H.

The location made it effortless to relax and spend time with family. The home is beautifully furnished and accommodated all 3 of our families comfortably. We really enjoyed the upper and lower decks and screened in porch in the evenings. The owners were extremely welcoming and allowed our dogs to stay too. Great experience and will be back! ##### Kristen F. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack B.

If anything, the listing understold the scenic beauty the lake provided. It fulfilled our needs, and was the site of many memories my friends and I will cherish forevermore. ##### Jack B.

Owners were easy to contact and very helpful with the pontoon boat. Highly recommend using the pontoon boat to explore the lake! A little hard to find, but the location was great and quiet. Had a great time! ##### Jennifer O. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia M. Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal for quiet family time Terrific place--roomy, well and thoughtfully equipped, lovely views. If members of your party can't handle stairs, this is not the place for you, because there are lots of them and they're unavoidable. You have to get out into the middle of the lake to swim--very weedy and mucky around the edges. But other than that, you couldn't hope for a more comfortable and relaxing place for some lake time. ##### Julia M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack B.

Great for fishermen! Property had a large firepit near the water, great for watching sunsets. House is very comfortable and had everything we needed to have a good time. we would recommend this house for a family or large group. We only had 4 in our group and loved having all the extra space! ##### Jack B.

We enjoyed the pontoon and kayaks. The house is spacious and has very comfortable beds. One day we visited the antique shops in Allen. Our only disappointment was not catching any fish after several days of fishing. It was nice meeting our hosts who were available if we needed anything but did not hover. We would definitely recommend this house for a fun vacation place. ##### Connie S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mindy V.

Full kitchen with pots, pans, cutting boards, random spices, silverware, etc. Linens provided, too. Just bring your fishing poles and bait! We brought our life jackets, but they do have available, too. We will stay again! Great way to unplug for a few days from a hectic summer schedule and relax before getting ready for the chaos of school. Rhonda was responsive and available when needed. Thanks for a nice few days away. ##### Mindy V. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis T.

Wanted a nice clean cabin on a lake where I could kick back reconnect with wife and do nothing. This was it. Home on a lake is what it is. Drove around at night saw lots of deer. Fish in the lake that's never ben caught. Old rock concerts on you tube. Rain on roof was awesome on covered deck. Awesome place. Like arnold said I WILL BE BAAACK. ##### Dennis T.

Lake was so mossy we couldn’t use any of the canoes, rafts provided (not owners fault at all). Place was just really dirty- needed swept and mopped badly. ##### Melissa S.
