5-Bedroom All-Sports Lake Retreat: Hot Tub, Wi-Fi, Fire Pit, Kayaks

Welcome to our lakefront retreat on semi-private Pickerel Lake, offering 65 feet of private lake frontage. This spacious home features 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room with an electric fireplace, a game room, and two outdoor decks. Outside, enjoy a hot tub, a fire pit with seating, patio furniture, and a propane grill. Water lovers can take advantage of the included pedal boat, 2 kayaks, and an electric motor boat for fishing. Guests are also welcome to bring their own pontoon or jet ski and dock it on-site. A public boat launch is nearby on the east side of the lake (S Ave).

The home sleeps up to 12 guests comfortably. On the main floor, there’s one bedroom with a queen bed featuring a green tea memory foam mattress. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king bed, futon, and a private deck with lake views. Also upstairs are two more bedrooms with queen beds, and a fifth bedroom with a twin-over-full bunk bed. Three of the bedrooms are equipped with smart TVs.

The property is located just 15 minutes from Portage and 25 minutes from Kalamazoo, with nearby attractions like Ramona Park and Air Park offering family-friendly activities. The house uses well water, which is safe to use, and there's also a water dispenser in the kitchen for your convenience.

For security, there are two outdoor cameras — one facing the driveway and one on the side of the house. These cameras are never monitored during guest stays and are only reviewed in the event of an incident at the property. They are primarily in place to protect the home when it is unoccupied.

This is the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the lake, and spend quality time with family and friends in a peaceful setting.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Wonderful house on lake

My family came to town for my sons wedding. This house was the most wonderful place. We had very comfy beds, kitchen was so nice and big. Living room area was very nice also. We made lots of great memories. Its a very nice home. I wish it was a little warmer out cuz we would have totally enjoyed the outside and the lake. I will be coming back again. You wont be disappointed.

Very nice lake property.

This is a very nice lake home, and the host is awesome! We were called to the area for a family funeral, not the greatest circumstances. While there, the host did everything in her power to make the stay pleasant. We are extremely grateful, it made the whole experience much easier! There were a couple of small issues, but the host/owner were quick to handle things. Great people to work with. Hopefully we'll be able to return under better family conditions.

Accurate and clean

The listing was accurate. The home was clean. The host was easy to communicate with. It was a very quite neighborhood. Even over the holiday weekend!! It's a good size for a multi-generational family. The kitchen was stocked better than other rental kitchens. My only complaint is the lack of "swimmability" in the lake. The bottom is very soft, and there are a lot of lily pads near the shore. We didn't feel comfortable swimming in that area, due to the amount of possible snakes that could be living among them. The only way out to the lake is through the lily pads, so unless you're on a boat, you can't access swimmable water. I know that there's not much to be done about this issue. I did speak with a neighbor that mentioned that this end of the lake gets the most lily pads each year and this year was worse than most. Maybe it's been better in past years and will be again in the future? So if you're looking for ease of swimming access, this one is not a good option. But if they can fix it, the remainder of the lake is pretty clean and nice to kayak on.

The house was great, plenty of room. The kids had a great time with the air hockey/pool table. Was a little disappointed with the lake, thought there was more sand for the kids to dig in. You couldn't walk right into the water to play, bottom was too soft and weedy. Fort Custer recreation area and Ramona Park were nice but we were looking for a property where we could walk right down to the water and play.

We really enjoyed the deck, which has shade much of the day, and a lovely view of the lake and sky. There is lots to do, from the game room to the hot tub, plus the kayaks and the paddle boat. We entertained friends and family and there was room for everyone to enjoy the great weather and a large kitchen for making meals.
