Lakeside Retreat - Peak Fall Colors, Fire Pit, Hiking, Near Lake MI | House in Whitehall, MI
7 Bedroom House with Entertainment, Barbecue and Internet
Experience Michigan’s fall color season from the best seat in the house—lakeside! Watch the trees ignite in red and gold and sip coffee by the fire pit. We still have a few rare weekends open for peak color!
Beautiful home nestled on the shores of all-sports Duck Lake! Perfect for families looking to make lifelong memories. Challenge a friend to some pool, ping pong, or foosball. Hike some trails at Duck Lake State Park--only 2 mins away--or, in the winter, check out the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex for ice skating through lantern-lit trees, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and . . . luging! When your cheeks get cold, warm up with hot cocoa by a fire pit. Amazing winter memories!
In the summer, spend leisurely afternoons by the dock or out on the water. For the thrill-seekers, Michigan's Adventure is 8 mins by car. Location and amenities make this a true northern gem!
The space
Spacious home with lots of beds and plenty of indoor amenities and entertainment!
Dock is in the water from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Some lifejackets available. Guests are encouraged to bring their own to ensure correct fit.
IMPORTANT: Home is equipped with an indoor and outdoor decibel-monitoring system to ensure compliance with noise requirements. Guests who book this property agree to the rules and the security deposit includes $500 for noise, which won't be charged if rules are followed and the neighborhood is respected. Thank you!!
13 reasons this might NOT be the right vacation home for you. PLEASE READ before booking.
1. You're looking for a party house. . . or your group is rowdy and won't be able to respect our neighbors. This is a quiet setting (equipped with a decibel-monitoring system to ensure compliance!), as we love our neighbors and the peace of the area. For guests to stay here, it's important they agree to help maintain the peace of the area. NO MUSIC OUTSIDE the home, and no disruptive or loud noise (shouting, singing, partying, etc.) at any time of the day. Any music inside the house MUST NOT be audible outside the house. Each booking is subject to a $500 noise deposit, refundable if noise rules and neighbors are respected.
2. Your group won't be able to respect property lines. ABSOLUTELY NO TRESPASSING outside the property onto our neighbor's properties.
3. The sixth bedroom and bathroom are in the basement. There's an egress window and quite a bit of natural light; however, no lake views. (Most other rooms do have lake views!)
4. In the summer, the ground by the lake can become a bit soggy. This occurs for a variety of reasons, but we can't control it unfortunately.
5. Due to the on-demand hot water heater, occasional variation in water temperatures during showers can occur.
6. Steps to the lake and seasonal lake access closures. Approximately 50 steps down to the water. Additionally, due to safety concerns, the lower level lake access is closed from approximately November-March.
7. Swimming requires use of a ladder off the dock--no ability to walk into the water.
8. The upstairs rooms share one small full bathroom (for room with Cali King and crib, room with two queens and two singles, common space with two queens). The bathroom is off the common space. Main floor has two full bathrooms, which is a bit disproportionate to the distribution of beds.
9. No garage.
10. Narrow (but long) lot. ABSOLUTELY NO TRESPASSING onto our neighbors' properties!
11. Surrounding area has only a few local restaurants and convenience stores. More restaurants and commercial attractions are nearby in Whitehall, North Muskegon, and Muskegon, but there's a limited offering within 15 minutes.
12. We do not provide firewood, but it is sold locally.
13. Home is not baby-proof.
