About this house rental

This is cottage is the best of both worlds - both lakeside and trailside. It's ideal for the outdoor family who wants lake access for fishing, kayaking, and boating. Hart Lake (also known as Little Silver Lake) is an all sports lake. Included with this cottage is a canoe and three kayaks which you can take out and go fishing or cruise around the lake. The lakefront is intentionally left alone for fish and wildlife habitat - you'll have plenty of yellow lily pads and Illinois pondweed holding the bass or pike of your dreams! The floating dock is the perfect spot for launching kayaks and canoes, and docking your boat/jet ski which can be launched at the public access. This is not a sugar-sand beachfront, rather, it's been kept in its most natural state to attract creatures big and small.

The A-frame is uniquely situated at the trailhead of the Manistee National Forest, with miles upon miles of ATV/UTV & hiking trails, and small game and waterfowl hunting opportunities. This trail system connects with the Michigan State Snowmobile Trail, and can be the launch point of your adventure for ATV'ing, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, and waterfowl hunting on Unger Lake and others. Whitetail deer, turkey, owls, and many other critters are regular inhabitants of the trail system.

There is ample room for throwing a football and other outdoor games as the lot is very spacious. Pack light because also included are linens, towels, beach towels, all your paper needs, hard wood for fire pit, Wi-Fi, stocked kitchen, flat screen TV and basic cable.

This charming cottage is located only 15 minutes from Cedar Point's Michigan Adventure Amusement Park, 10 minutes from Stonegate Golf Club, 30 minutes from Double JJ Ranch (indoor water park for rainy days), 40 minutes from Silver Lake Sand Dunes, 20 minutes from Muskegon State Park and numerous other attractions, Cedar Point Michigan Adventure Amusement Park (19 minutes), local vegetable stand (4 minutes), local mini-market/grocery complete with everything you need including meat, cheese, candy, supplies, gas and more (6 minutes), seasonal fruit farms, pizza joint (8 minutes), local bar and restaurant (7 minutes), wineries/breweries (25-30 minutes). For the girls, shop in downtown Grand Haven or Whitehall (awesome gift, clothing and specialty food shops).

For nature lovers, the bird calls here are fantastic. This cottage is lovely for those who want a peaceful place to relax, read, hike, cook, or just be. This is an amazing place for kids to fish, swim, roast marshmallows around the camp fire and play on their own beach. Come stay with us!!

6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2024
The hosts were very nice, and allowed us to check in early. However, there were a number of problems with our stay. First of all, the beds were all terrible. The queen bed felt like it had been used for a number of years - very little support, and difficult to sleep. The twin beds were even less comfortable. 3 nights with very little sleep is no fun. Also, neither the upstairs nor the downstairs had any really comfortable furniture. The downstairs in particular only had a love seat and 2 stand alone padded chairs - not really conducive to sitting with a family and earring TV for any amount of time. Furthermore, whenever the AC was on, there was an extremely loud intermittent rattling noise that was only made tolerable by a loud dehumidifier in the basement. Additionally, we were told the lake was "swimable," but the entire area all around the house's dock was a swamp, and would've been disgusting and dangerous for a child. Finally, the listing said there was a hot tub, but it turned out to be a "spa-style" tub with no actual spa jets. So basically just a bigger tub than normal with handles. On the plus side, it was an overall beautiful property, especially the lake. We were able to see what we thought were some herons fishing for food, and canoeing was fun as well (once you got out of the swampy area). The house itself appeared to be pretty well maintained, with a number of nice features, and the hosts were very generous with supplies - plenty of bug repellant, TP, etc.
