Charming Walloon Lake Cottage on the Water

Located on the North Shore of Walloon, this delightful cottage is within walking distance of the Foot. It is perched high atop a hillside with sweeping views of the southern most part of the lake.

Built in the early 1900s, the house has been in our family since the late 1920s and has been lovingly and substantially updated.

Ernest Hemingway spent boyhood summers on the lake with his family and used Walloon as the setting for his famed Nick Adams stories. The lovely towns of Harbor Springs and Petoskey are close by. A trip to Mackinac Island is a must and about an hours drive away.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful stay on Walloon Lake

We love having our extended family from Atlanta, New York, and Boston in Michigan for the summer, and nothing is more enjoyable than staying on Walloon Lake. This year, we had a wonderful week in this charming cottage! The cottage was just as described and made for a sunshine and lake-filled vacation, with plenty of common areas to play games and share family meals. The large porch is a highlight, allowing for amazing lake views at all times. We look forward to returning and again enjoying this cottage and its wonderful hospitality.

Another lovely week at Walloon

This is our second visit to this beautiful location. The location can not be beat and the real reason to stay at this cottage is the absolutely fantastic back porch facing the lake. We ate all our meals out there and spent almost all our waking hours there. It was a cozy place to sit and read on the one day of rain as it is well covered and protected from the elements. Thank you George, for another memorable week on Lake Walloon.

Large and Spacious but needs some TLC

The layout of the house was quirky (you need to pass though one bedroom to get to the master), and some doors were so warped it took two people to open them. There were several places where the railing on the deck and the steps to the beach were rotted, But the view was amazing. It is the perfect size for a large family. None of the problems prevented my family from having a wonderful time!
