Peaceful & Private Lakefront House on Shelp Lake, hot tub is open year round

Enjoy privacy and relaxation during your stay at our 4 bedroom 2 full bathroom home located on the shores of Shelp Lake in Delton, Michigan. Located on a quiet country dirt road, we are the only house on the south side of the lake, which means you will be able to take full advantage of a quiet weekend get-away or family vacation without neighbors close by!

Inside the house, we provide a fully appointed kitchen so our guests can create their favorite meals in the comfort of our home. We also provide a dining area to enjoy your home-cooked meals or a game night! The large living room offers a beautiful view of the lake, as well as plenty of comfortable seating and a smart TV so you can access your streaming accounts for a movie night or morning cartoons. With access to the top deck directly from the living room, you can open the slider doors and let in the fresh breeze off the lake and sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee and a book while overlooking the peaceful setting full of wildlife!

The main level offers the primary bedroom with a King bed and large closet space, as well as several windows with a nice view of the lake, and a sliding door that provides access to the top deck. The main level also offers a full bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination.
On the lower walkout level you will find the 3 additional bedrooms and second full bathroom. The first bedroom on the lower level offers a queen bed and large closet, the second bedroom is a pass-through room and offers a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the 3rd bedroom offers a queen bed. The full bathroom on the lower level has a shower/bathtub combination as well as a separate shower.
We also have a large recreation room on the lower level where you can enjoy a game of pool at our pool table.
Directly outside the lower walkout level we have a deck and a private sparkling 6-person hot tub for our guests to enjoy! Our hot tub is professionally maintained and is available to our guests year-round. We also have a campfire area for guests who wish to enjoy time by the fire overlooking the lake.

Shelp Lake is a private all-sports lake but best known for great fishing! The lake is approximately 50 acres and 65 feet deep. This lake is great to kayak and there is so much wildlife to enjoy! We offer 3 kayaks and a Paddle King paddle boat for our guests to use to explore the lake. We also have a dock for guests to use to access the lake by kayak or paddle boat. In the winter, Shelp Lake is a great spot for ice fishing or ice skating! For the ski/snowboard/snow tubing enthusiast, there are a few different ski hills just a small drive away as well!

Please note, the setting of this lake is best for guests who enjoy nature, kayaking, fishing, and being surrounded by wildlife. Due to the natural wetland environment of the lake (i.e. an abundance of lilypads in some seasons) this lake is not ideal for guests who are looking for a place to swim or float from a beach. However, if you enjoy kayaking, fishing, wildlife, and ultimate relaxation in nature... this is the place for you! If you'd still love to enjoy our lakefront property but wish for a sandy beach/swimming area to enjoy, please reach out to us and we can recommend some great day-use beaches nearby! Please note, Shelp Lake is a private lake that does not have public access/launch site, if you would like to bring your boat we can recommend nearby public launch sites if you wish to enjoy a day boating on a nearby lake while still taking advantage of the peaceful natural setting of our house.

For the convenience of our youngest guests, we provide a pack & play upon request. Please note that the pack & play must be reserved at the time of booking your reservation to ensure availability.

Please note: we have a motion-activated security camera installed on the front of the house facing the entryway and driveway.

Beautiful property

Everything was beautiful! Nice hot tub. Great padre boat. Right on the lake. No big deal but There was no big skillet or strainer in the kitchen. These are minor things but I wish I would have known so I could have brought my own. We wished there was stairs going off the upper deck for our dog with hip issues. We would definitely go back though. It was a great place!

Secluded nature-y getaway

Lovely secluded property that included all the amenities you might need for nice weekend getaway! The lake was peaceful and we had a great time using the paddleboat. The property was also great for backyard birding, I saw many species over our short stay here. We made use of the hot tub and fire pit and kitchen was stocked with utensils and cooking ware for cooking your own meals. Would come back again!

Comfortable House - even in winter

House feels very new and clean. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked, especially given its small size.Folks should be aware that one bedroom is only accessible thru another room. It worked out fine, but there was some teen angst about it initially.

Winter getaway

Chose to stay here for a little mini getaway over new years with the family. The hot tub and pool table were the selling points since we wouldn’t be able to spend much time outdoors. Property was as described with nice updates throughout. Dual zone. Eat temp controls are nice for keeping each floor comfortable The couches in the living room were comfy and my son loved how they reclined.

The property had everything we needed for having a family get away! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need for cooking, the Blackstone was perfect! The beds were comfortable and plenty of space for us all! We had a great time playing pool! The only thing we couldn’t do was get on the lake as the water level is down too far and didn’t reach the dock but the view was spectacular with the fall colors. We were able to have a bonfire and the hot tub was clean and Hot! Overall a fantastic place.

Our October Shelp Lake Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this nice residence on Shelp Lake. Cleanliness if highly considered with our brother golf group and this home certainly met that criteria. There was ample room for our needs, and the remote aspect of the property is refreshing. A few notes: the entry system on the front door is sun drenched in the afternoon, and as such, was rendered inoperable. A call to the host solved that situation nicely with a remote "unlocking". Perhaps a cover over the entry system would eliminate that first world issue. Having a few cooking spices, etc. on hand would be useful as most places we stay for our trips do offer those nice considerations. Lastly, and not a major fault, is glassware for beverages, versus plastic glasses would offer a nice touch. The new grill is amazing to cook with, as it was nice and clean prior to use, and we took good care of it after use. Overall, a delightful property that we will rent again on our next adventure to the Delton, Michigan area. Thank you

Nice location, poor maintenance

The location was nice, but the house needs a serious deep, deep clean; cobwebs in the corners , dead bugs in the corners. A mouse paid a visit. The front door is loose in its frame. Access to the lake was limited. Lake equipment was covered in weeds and brush. I wish I had read the reviews prior to booking for what we paid. It would’ve been nice to have a clean homefacilities.

Spacious, comfortable and peaceful

Extremely peaceful setting! Loved being out on the deck and listening to the birds and watching the swan family swimming around the lake. Very comfortable home with lots of space for everyone. Loved the cooktop grill and hot tub, very nice additions! The kitchen had everything we needed. There were ants, so keep your food cleaned up and off the floor. I'm sure this is a seasonal challenge and was not to big of an issue. Also, watch out for the step ups into the bathroom and bedroom in the basement, we aren't used to having those, so we kept tripping. Overall highly recommend if you are looking to relax and really enjoy a peaceful experience with your family. Close to the Bay Pointe Inn Bar & Grille which is a delicious restaurant with an amazing view, if you do not feel like cooking!

Relaxing, Clean Space for Group Getaway

We stayed at this location for a family gathering - the space was up to date and clean, and the view of the lake was gorgeous. It was a very relaxing space for our hangout! Our only suggestion to the property manager would be to add a few items in the home. For example, a small basket of toilitries (shampoo, body wash, etc.) in addition to small items in the kitchen (measuring cups, salt/pepper, aluminum foil or ziploc bags). We are a pretty well versed family when it comes to group travel, and can usually depend on a rental for these items - and were a bit disappointed when we had to run out to the store, again. If anything, I think it would add a nice touch, some of those additional comforts of home for future renters.
