About this house rental
This family home has a large, comfortable living area that is ideal for gathering and enjoying the entire family. Boasting a beautiful lakefront view from the porch and a large lawn leading to the lake that allows for fun and games. This home has been updated with standard living comforts, as we use it ourselves seasonally, but there is no cable TV since we consider it a retreat from the world. We DO leave an HDMI cord or you can bring a fire stick or stream from your computer to watch movies. Our house is a little quirky and we keep condiments in the fridge and a few staples in the cupboards for when we visit. Feel free to use what you need. Please, no parties without prior permission as we like to be courteous to our neighbors. We expect you to respect our family space.
In the warmer months, enjoy a peaceful dinner and sunset down by the water at the outdoor dining table, and games around the dining table in the evening. The shallow waterfront is ideal for swimming and cooling off in the summer heat. We offer two Kayaks for guest enjoyment. Fine Lake is great for fishing, with plenty of bluegill, bass, perch, and walleye. We are an all-sports lake with a public boat launch located next to the Fine Lake Party Store. You can fish from a boat or you can fish right off the dock! Minimal effort is needed to catch fish in this lake.
In the cooler months, you will see ice fishermen on the frozen lake. Snowmobile trails and cross-country skiing are available at the Fort Custer recreation area 20 minutes south. There is always something to do, no matter the time of year!
Walk to Fine Lake Party Store the Banfield General Store is within 5min of the home so you can replenish essentials (the general store has great cookies!). The town of Battle Creek is only 20 minutes away and Kalamazoo is roughly 30 min. Battle Creek has several nice restaurants and breweries, as well as attractions like Binder Park Zoo, the Leila Arboretum, and several museums. The Gilmore Car Museum is 10min west of the property, and the Mooville Creamery is ~25 minutes down the road, where you can enjoy ice cream and outdoor fun with the family. Additionally, each year the city of Battle Creek hosts an air show and hot air balloon festival that draws hundreds of visitors to enjoy the mesmerizing event.
Happy to answer any questions.

Had a group of guys for a long weekend to play the Gull Lake courses. This was the perfect location. House was nice and appropriate for our group of 4. Neighbors were very nice, and the extra large kitchen table made for some wonderful card games and bourbon drinking. Very relaxed and comfortable place to stay. Oh, and owner was spectacular in communication!!!

I’m struggling with this review because while we had a nice stay, we had so many issues from the very start that I ultimately feel we did not get our money’s worth out of the property.
The inside was very clean, but didn’t have any trash bags or extra toilet paper until I reached out to the owner to find them tucked away inside a closet that was labeled for owner’s only. The upstairs sink had an issue with the plug that my husband had to fix on our first night there. We also had a mice eat some treats off the kitchen counter one night.
The outside is what we really had issues with. There is a bunch of broken glass along the side of the house, the yard was covered in branches that fell from the trees, the dock was covered in goose poop that hadn’t been cleaned off in a while, the second kayak was so dirty and the seat so ratty no one wanted to use it, and the concrete steps were so covered in ivy vines that my mother almost tripped badly on them. The biggest disappointment was the grill made an audible tearing sound when I lifted the lid because the cobwebs were so thick and it clearly hadn’t been cleaned after the last use. Our family was unable to grill the tomahawks we had bought specifically for the trip.
The owner responded quickly and nicely, but there was no action taken besides saying he would have to talk to his yard guys and house cleaners. I hope he gets it sorted because without all of these issues, it would be a lovely property.
