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!

Everything was as listed and more. We had a great time, enjoyed the property fully and lake city. Only issue is the upstairs bathroom door was having issues with closing. But with that fixed I have zero other notes.

We enjoyed our stay at Lake Sapphire. The house was well maintained and the area was very quiet.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean, well organized, clear instructions. The bathrooms are a bit smaller than anticipated.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
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.
