About this property

On nearly 3 acres, sharing an 11 acre tract with only one other (family member). Wonderful privacy, really wonderful lake for swimming or fishing; beach along the shore for swimming (depending on high-water level); 30-foot dock for boating (public boat ramp on the south end of the lake, a mile down the trail). Fire-pit by the shore (wood provided). Hiker-friendly woods. Cute squirrels and chipmunks; deer in the yard are not unusual. House has a great kitchen, open floor plan, much new carpet, new vinyl floors in kitchen, bath, utility, central heat and air conditioning; unlimited high speed wifi internet, Roku for two TVs, or watch DVDs (provided, some), or bring your own game console. Two full baths, 3 bedrooms, big screened porch for additional space, gas barbecue grill (gas provided). Handicap accessible. 14 foot aluminum boat with 6 hp motor (fuel provided); 12' canoe, hard SUP board, inflated two-person kayak.

From our cleaning and sanitation crew:
" We at IBKLEAN want to help our guests feel even more comfortable this summer. Time at the lake is for relaxing, not worrying.

We have been cleaning here for many years. This year we are doing things differently. The most important things are:
1) All staff will complete the Health Department required CDC paperwork before every clean. No one will work if they are not well.
2) Our staff will wear clean/new gloves, masks, and foot covers for every cleaning job.
We will use new/ clean ( in hottest water possible) cleaning tools for every cleaning job.
3) We will use the recommended 2 step cleaning, then disinfecting process, allowing enough time for the disinfectant to work.
4) All laundry will be washed in the hottest water possible. Baskets will be disinfected regularly.
5) We will maintain a check list of this process

We hope our commitment to everyone’s health and safety helps you feel at home. Thank you and have a wonderful time. "

Beautiful spot on private lake
Really enjoy our stays at Guthrie Lake. The home is secluded right on the lake with private dock on sandy shore. Perfect for many water adventures. Thank you Bob for another fine family vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Gilbert

Host profile image
Bob Gilbert grew up on this property, in the adjacent family home. In the summer of 2012 Bob and his wife Cindy put NorthShore, their vacation home, in its place down by the lake shore. Building the 12 x 40 foot deck (33' screened) took a lot of Bob's time that summer, getting it ready for the next year, when others might enjoy it, too. Bob winters in Florida (he is Registrar at Florida Bible College of Tampa), but enjoys the gorgeous summers in northern lower Michigan. His wife Cindy retired from a career of 30+ years teaching, and they together enjoy their children and their children' families. They have a travel trailer for their own use, at the north end of the property, when guests are in their vacation home.

Why they chose this property

NorthShore is accessible - just 5 miles off I-75 (at exit 270), yet wonderfully private. The lake is pristine, with a sandy bottom, perfect for wading and swimming, even with young children (a lovely big sand-bar goes out from the swimming beach), and also for fishing for large- and small- mouth bass, perch, bluegills, northern pike . . . other water sports are also permitted. There is a public boat landing at the southeast end of the lake, if you desire to bring yor own boat, or rent one locally. Bob has available an inflatable 12' two-man kayak , a 12' canoe, and a 14' rowboat (with motor) for a small additional charge, by the day or by the week ($125 for all).

What makes this property unique

The views from the living room, the dining room, the master bedroom (with places to stretch out and read or nap, when you can take your eyes away from the view!) The quiet; the animals; hiking in the woods or on the trails. Sitting on the dock; by the lake in the glider . . . Cooking out on the grill; the great porch-deck. Enjoying the firepit by the lake - s'mores? Sleeping outside in the cool of the screened porch, if you want to.
