About this house rental
Newer Peaceful Lakefront Cottage on Sapphire Lake!
Welcome to Lake City—and thank you for considering our Sapphire Lake cottage for your getaway! Lake City is so named because it’s home to three principal lakes. Sapphire Lake is the smallest, prettiest, and quietest. (Here, you’re more likely to see loons than jet skis.)
You’ll have the entire cottage to yourself. Outside, you’ll enjoy an oversized lot with a large deck overlooking the peaceful, gorgeous Sapphire Lake. Watch the sunsets, watch the songbirds, watch the waterfowl (remember, loons are our specialty), and maybe, if you’re lucky, watch a seaplane landing or two.
There’s also a grill, fire pit, dock, two kayaks, and a paddleboat. Like to fish? Just step onto the dock or float a kayak. Inside the spacious three-story cottage, you’ll find three bedrooms—all with queen or double beds—two bathrooms, two living areas, two dining areas, a full kitchen on the main floor, and a second partial kitchen on the lake level. For your added comfort, central air has been added in late 2024. This home sleeps eight easily.
And the location? Just minutes from downtown Lake City, which fronts Lake Missaukee, the largest lake in the area. (Yes, that’s a lot of lakes for one sentence, but that’s how it is around here). Lake City has enough restaurants to see you through the week and a locally famous ice cream shop that’s impossible to visit just once. You’ll also be within easy day-trip distance of Traverse City and multiple Lake Michigan beaches.
This Sapphire Lake retreat works well year-round. In summer, it’s pretty close to paradise. In winter, when available, it’s a convenient launching pad for snowmobiling and skiing—both cross-country (at nearby Cadillac Pathway) and downhill (at Missaukee Mountain Lake City, and Caberfae Peaks in Cadillac).
Ideal for romantic retreats, family vacations, reunions, long weekends and Up-North escapes. We love this place—and would be delighted to share it with you!

It was exactly what we were expecting based off the listing. Only things that weren’t the greatest were the size of the main kitchen with minimal space for dry goods (there is a kitchenette downstairs with only sink, mini fridge and cabinets) and that there were some ants in the kitchen area. Basically anything you could possibly need is provided for you which is very convenient! My family would definitely return to this property and would love to stay longer than 2 nights.

Great location right on a quiet lake! The deck overlooking the lake was great. No upstairs bathroom despite 2 bedrooms, both with cut out walls overlooking the living room. Solid small house that was big enough for our needs.

4 adults in their 70’s truly enjoyed the lake views. Loved the suggestion of where to eat breakfast and dinner. Left the peace and quiet.

This property would have been great for a fall family weekend. I didn't read closely enough to realize there was no AC - but they did provide fans and luckily someone else in the group realized it and brought a few more. For the summer months - there's no breeze and lots of bugs so not ideal for leaving anything open. The lake access was a bit disappointing - you couldn't get into the water off the dock due with all the lilypads - it was very mucky. However, the paddleboat and canoes were nice to have. Kitchen is very small and ok for a long weekend but would have probably been a challenge for a longer visit. Overall, it met our needs.
