Peaceful

This place was perfect for what we wanted. A beautiful and peaceful getaway. The house is so bright and modern. It has everything you need for a lake house. We can't wait to come back when the weather breaks. The swans and ducks made our stay that much more perfect. Great communication with the owner as well. 5 star property!

Perfect Getaway

My sister and I rented this cute little cottage for a weekend away to hang out, relax and scrapbook. The cottage is very clean and nicely decorated. Since it was Fall, we didn't get to experience the lake but saw that they had plenty of fun things to do with kayaks and an outdoor firepit. The inside was stocked with games, books and movies. The owners do a great job of communicating and respond quickly to any questions. They also had a 3 ring binder filled with helpful information that included things to do in the area and local restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Emmerling

25 years ago we bought our cottage on Mill Lake to have a quiet place to go and get away from the busy every day routines. We also wanted our children to have a place to take their friends and enjoy the great outdoors. Our time was split between relaxing and having fun. Our summer weekends were consumed with tubing, fishing, swimming, attending the Hot Air Balloon Festivals, Worlds Largest Breakfast Table along with lots of local attractions. Winter weekends were spent ice fishing, ice skating, sledding and indoor puzzles and games. Thru the years, our family has built many memories on this lake and in town at festivals. In 2012 we purchased and rebuilt the house next to ours. Now our friends and family can also enjoy the area but yet have a private place to stay.

Why they chose this property

Great location just off the main road with only a 15 minute drive into Battle Creek or Hastings for unlimited activities, shopping and festivals. It is also centrally located between Detroit and Chicago. The lake itself is large enough to have fun on but yet small enough to not be busy or overcrowded.

What makes this property unique

Being a small, private lake offers a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Located on the east side of the lake offers longer evenings and views of the sunset. The dead end road keeps the traffic to a minimal. All sports lake offers endless water activities.
