Lakefront Retreat w/ Private Dock • Sleeps 8

Wake up to calm lake mornings and unwind around the firepit under the stars. This 1,500 sq ft lakefront home sits on 700+ acres of water on the Tri-Lakes chain — perfect for boating, fishing, and family lake days.

Tie your boat to the private dock, fish right off the property, or relax on the deck with wide water views.

Sleeps 8 with 2 bedrooms (5 beds) and 2 full baths. Minutes from St. Ives & Tullymore golf and ~20 minutes to Ferris State — ideal for graduation weekends and summer getaways.

The space

Blue Lake features a popular sandbar and small island for swimming, wading, and relaxing during the summer.

Our 60’ vinyl dock with an 8x10’ patio section offers plenty of room to tie up your boat and relax by the water.

Two kayaks are available for guests to explore the lake at your own pace.

Evenings are made for the firepit by the lake (firewood available), sunsets, and time with family and friends.

Sleeps 8 with 2 bedrooms (5 beds) and 2 full baths — ideal for family lake trips and Ferris State graduation weekends (about 20 minutes away).

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We planned a vacation with 5 grandsons and our dog. The pet friendly accommodation was a plus! Having a washer and dryer was wonderful, as was Wi-fi! We enjoyed the lake, the fishing was great, and the neighbors were friendly. Our hosts had tried to think of everything to make a great stay, and were always just a text away. I highly recommend this property for the price and comfort.
