Peaceful Retreat for Families/Couples/Groups - All Sports Lake w/ Kayaks & SUP's

The Pleasant Lake Residence hosts a spacious and airy floor plan. A wood burning, stone fireplace graces the 18 x 24 foot family room. A large dining/kitchen area features a generous kitchen island, oak hardwood floors and overlooks Pleasant Lake. Tiled flooring covers the back entry, main floor bath and laundry room. One bedroom with two twin beds and a study complete the main floor plan. An open staircase leads upstairs to three bedrooms and two more full baths. The master bedroom is a generous sized room with a king size bed. The ensuite features a Jacuzzi tub. The finished lower floor offers ping pong, foosball, a card table, a gas fireplace as well as an 18 x 24 bedroom and a full bath. The lower floor has a sliding glass door that exits to the lakeside.
Swim, kayak, paddle board or fish on the lake from May to September. Listen for the call of the loons early in the morning, for the croak of the frogs in the evening, or watch the eagles soar above the north side of the lake on a warm night. Gather around a bonfire at the end of the day to relax and gaze at the stars. Watch for deer moving through the trees down to the lake to drink or gaze at the glorious array of colors during the fall. Ice fish, skate, cross country ski or snowmobile on the hard ice or snow during the cold winter days. Scavenge for mushrooms in the surrounding forests by Mesick during the spring time.

Amenities at the Pleasant Lake Residence include three kayaks, two paddle boards, a small fishing boat, and a handful of sleds.

What an amazing lake house - perfect for a large family!!
It was our third year staying at this amazing lake house. The house is so spacious, clean, well furnished and decorated it makes it easy to enjoy yourself. The available kayaks and paddle boards were a great bonus. Our wonderful family-filled memories will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Spacious, fun view of the lake
The property was very clean and a delight as soon as we walked in the door. Our host, Albie was very easy to communicate with. We all had worries that the property would not be as good as the pictures, but the pictures don't even do it justice. We all had such a great time.

Excellent Property
Our family has rented many vacation homes and this is one of the best we’ve stayed in. Very spacious for a big group like ours. The lake was lovely as was our location. There is a pretty view from the house but even better when you’re down at the lake. The house was clean and well stocked for our needs. Our Host was always available via text if we had any questions. We would be happy to rent this property again!

Great spot for a winter getaway!
This was the third time that our group has stayed in this lovely, accommodating property. We were 8 adults this time but we've had up to 11 people (including 2 teens) previously and always found the house spacious and comfortable. Albertena is a gracious, helpful host. The kitchen, dining and living areas have great flow and the game area downstairs was a blast. Nice to see some soft, furnishing changes and the basement fireplace since our last visit.. a really great stay! Much as we love winter activity here, we really must come back and experience it during warmer seasons as the lake looks like it could be great fun. Thanks again, Albie!

Family Vacation
A very nice house and the location was wonderful for our family of 8 - 6 adults and 2 children. We loved the kayaks and paddle boards and the little beach area was perfect for the two kiddos ages 4 and 6. We enjoyed meals together at the large dinning room table as well as the large picnic tables on the deck. We enjoyed many day trips (1 hour away) to Frankfort, Old Mission peninsula and Elk Rapids along with blueberry picking and Mitchell state park that were about 15 minutes away. We also enjoyed the wide variety of board games provided We would definitely come back and we will recommend this house to other family members!😊

Memorial weekend family getaway
This property is beautiful and clean. Our family came for the Memorial weekend to get away from work and enjoy visiting. We had the best time. Our 2 grandchildren ran their little legs off going from playing in the grass to playing in the sand. Plenty of room for dinner 7 adults and 2 children. We kayaked on the lake. Fishing was not so great but that wasn’t our main focus. Albie responses promptly to all questions. I would highly recommend this place to any family looking to relax and just get away. We definitely will be returning next year.

Perfect for large group!
We were here with four couples and this place is very roomy, everyone had their own room and a bath. Six bedrooms total, four baths. Did not run out of hot water for showers. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, a well stocked kitchen with nice cookware and dinnerware, there was even a pretty full spice cupboard with coffee filters. We loved the big dining table and the great room fireplace was a treat with plenty of wood available. It was easy to find, plenty of parking. We could see there would be lots to do in the summertime. Tips - bring toiletries and a hair dryer, bring ice for drinks (if you need more than two trays), note that the fridge is average size so it can fill up fast.

Our Family vacation
We loved the property and house at this location. The rooms were large and it was easy to accommodate our family of 7 adults and 5 children ages 6-1 year. The kids loved swimming every day. The lake was perfect for our fledgling swimmers. They were able to touch the bottom making play easy and enjoyable. The hard wood floors made clear up very easy in the house. The four bathrooms made things easy, especially with our young ones. We were within driving distance of hiking, Cadillac, and several other enjoyable locations. The only negatives we found are that there was no grill, we had to provide our own sheets and towels, and since there was no air conditioning the missing screens in some of the windows made things a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, we would have rated this location with 5 stars.

Great week at a very nice cottage!
We had a great week in this superb cottage. The bedrooms were perfect for our extended family of 9 people. We especially appreciated the 4 bathrooms, which allowed each smaller family their own space. The lake was nice for swimming. My teenage daughters enjoyed swimming out from the dock a bit, and appreciated the clear mostly weed-free water. We've been to other lakes where the weeds grew up the surface of the water, but this lake was much nicer (although shallow a long ways out from shore). Also, the fact that the lake was very non-busy made it easy to float out long ways on our rafts. It was a bit cramped right next to the dock, but we had no problem getting kayaks in and out. We enjoyed the games downstairs as well, a very nice set-up with foosball and ping-pong. We also used the bar table in the basement for board games during the week. A couple of minor things we thought could be improved: 1--the wi-fi name was very long, and we had trouble identifying the proper network on some devices. A shorter name would make it easier. 2--the back deck was very small, it would have been nice to have a bigger space to enjoy the outdoors nearer to the house. 3--the coffer maker was a little bit tricky to use without forcing the pot in and out and spilling the coffee. It could use an upgrade. Like I said, minor things. We had a very nice time, and will definitely consider a return trip!

Beautiful and Spacious House on a Lake
We very much enjoyed our stay! The house was even more open and spacious in person. There were plenty of bedrooms and beds for the 4 couples that stayed here. The house was equipped with everything we needed! Unfortunately we had chilly weather the weekend we were here, so we weren't able to utilize the water crafts or swim, but the lake was beautiful. We are already talking about returning!
