About this property

Forest Retreat - Sleeps 30 - 2 minutes from boat launch

Tucked away amid six acres of wooded landscape, the lodge offers a private retreat with plenty of room for everyone in your group. Relax on the covered 80 foot deck; gather the family around the fire pit; paddle your kayak or canoe around stunning Clear Lake from the boat launch two minutes away; serve dinner for 30 around the farmhouse tables inside and out. This is the place to get away from it all and experience the natural beauty of West Michigan.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 4 bathrooms.
