Gull Lake - near Kalamazoo and Battle Creek

This private home sits directly across from Prairieville Park Boat Launch on the north side of Gull Lake, is located 15 miles from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and is 3 miles north of Richland. This two story, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home has two bedrooms with Queen beds and one bedroom with a Queen bed and an extra long twin bed. There is a full size futon on the main floor and a roll away bed that can be placed in any room.
The main floor living/dining area is spacious, with rich dark wood floors. The kitchen includes a full size refrigerator/freezer , a microwave, a dishwasher, and a 5 burner gas stove. There is a drip coffee pot, crock pot, toaster, tea pot, blender, mixer, new Calphalon cookware, a propane gas grill outside, and place settings for 10+. The second floor laundry room is also available for use.
All furnishings in the house were brand new in 2017. The enclosed porch is lined with windows that overlook the boat launch (across the street), and there is a pizza restaurant next door.
The park/boat launch across the street has a great picnic area with outdoor grills, modern bathrooms, a playground for the kids, and a sandy beach for swimming. We also provide a seasonal pass to enter the park if you want to launch your boat. Please note that the house is located across the street from the lake, and there is not a place to dock your boat overnight at the boat launch.
There is private parking behind the house with enough space to park 4-5 cars and we have room for your boat/trailer.

Great Experience in Richland MI
Perfectly updated and comfortable place which still preserves its historic Michigan farmhouse atmosphere! We were in town for a family wedding and this home provided the perfect home away from home. Hosts and property were A+.

Family Trip to Gull Lake
The location is right across from the public boat dock, very convenient. The house was bigger than expected and very clean. We had a great time. I LOVED the outdoor porch, getting to sit outside without all the bugs!

We booked this lovely home for our daughters, spouses, and grandchildren visiting from overseas for a 3 week period. Perfect location, ample space, all the necessities needed. Thanks Christine and Jeff! Also, NED's right next door for a quickbite to eat is so convenient.

Beautiful and Convenient
The house and property was spotless and had all amenities you have in your own home. We felt comfortable using dishes, towels, sheets. The location is directly across from a lake/boat dock. Ned’s restaurant is in the same parking lot basically and has really good food and ice cream. It’s also just a short drive from gas stations, shopping, grocery stores. Lake Michigan was a little bit of a drive but worth the effort. The owners are always around if you need anything but they don’t hover. It really was a perfect stay for our family. All the bedrooms upstairs can control their own air conditioning which was nice. We had a wonderful time and are planning a return trip already! Thank you, Jeff and Christine, for letting us stay in you beautiful home.

Christine and Jeff’s place is a wonderful place to stay. The location was perfect, not too close too close to town yet a relatively short drive into Kalamazoo. Plenty of dining options as well.

Fantastic rental property! House exactly as pictured, clean, well cared for, organized, stocked well with a lot of thought! Owners were very responsive, thoughtful, and kind. The lake is beautiful, just wish there was a larger sandy beach to enjoy it even more! Highly recommend!

Awesome spot for our family to gather.
This home was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two children to gather for an extended weekend! Very clean, good sized, well equipped kitchen, large deck, and a very spacious enclosed front porch, where we spent a great deal of our family time. The bedrooms were a good size, a couple of mattresses could use upgrading, but were adequate for our stay. The boat launch, small beach, and park is directly across the street. My 3 year old grandson loved watching the boats line up as they awaited entry into the park. The house is on a busy road, but traffic noise was not an issue when inside the home. Ned’s restaurant is a stones throw away for dine in, or take out, which they will deliver right to your door, also ice cream available for that evening indulgence. Small party store a block away.
