The Hangout hot tub cottage on Big Pine Island Lake

Lake-house with Hot Tub and Bar with combined fire-pit and deck entertaining area near Cannonsburg/Belding/Kent County.

Two stories. Three bedrooms. Two full bathes. Additional lot under a canopy of trees with garage, bar, fire-pit and deck.

Elevated lot with view of the 223 acre Big Pine Island Lake with it's 4.8 internet score.

This meticulously kept lake-house is a summer paradise within a small lake community just 20 minutes from the entertainment delights of downtown Grand Rapids!

What you will find here:

Master bedroom, master bathroom, walk in
closet and projection movie room downstairs
just a few feet away from a deck with the
hot tub and 2nd fire-pit, (both with views of the lake).
Up the stairs you will find another deck that also faces the lake, two more bedrooms, another full bathroom, large living and dining area with a modern kitchen and an island and dining table to gather around.
(Views of the lake can be seen from just about
every window of the main cottage).
Across the small semi private street is a 2nd
lot of the same size that is home to the two car garage and the secluded 384 square foot Hangout Bar that includes yet another private deck and large fire pit.

Your day:
After a full day of romping around on the lake,
possibly exploring the island or one of the many
other lake communities, come back and relax in
the renovated garage bar appropriately named
The Hangout which overlooks a large private deck and fire-pit just a few feet away! Then grab a drink and hang out in the hot tub overlooking the lake and a second fire pit.
After that you can enjoy your time lounging
around the main house watching the sun set
from one of two leather sofas facing a massive
flat screen television and elevated view of most
of the lake. Or head to the basement and kick on the projection TV in yet another space to unwind within. When you're FINALLY ready to retire to your room you will be happy to find a large modern television in each bedroom with
all the popular streaming channels: Netflix,
Amazon, Hulu, AND Roku.

What to expect for summer 2019 (not shown in photos):

-Will be sampling different types of kayaks. No powerboat available as of now.

Great lake house

My family had a wonderful time at the Hangout. The space was great having a family bbq, enjoying the lake, and sitting around the camp fire. I highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

Great place and super host

We rented this for a few days. The place is really nice, super clean, safe and quiet. Chad was a great host, very welcoming and accommodating. Hope to come back here next year if he can put up with us again. Thank you Chad! And next time, come over for dinner and all the entertainment. I think you’d enjoy it.

Great weekend getaway

We had a great time at Chad's place! It was very clean and spacious. We especially enjoyed using the hot tub and the fire pit. The kitchen was great for cooking and the grill worked well. We also enjoyed using the kayaks! Though they are inflatable and took some time and effort to inflate and assemble. The only tricky/inconvenient thing was water/beach access. The property has an easement to the water but it is a giant hill of rocks that are very difficult to walk down sandwiched between two houses. Once you get down there you have about 10 feet of rocky beach that you are permitted to use. But the water was pleasant. Overall, it was great. Chad was very responsive and we enjoyed our weekend.
