Pine Lake Retreat- sparkling hot tub! Lakeside house with sandy beach lakefront!

Our Pine Lake Retreat offers the ultimate location for lakefront relaxation! Enjoy our 60’ of sandy lakefront on Pine Lake 1, an excellent spot for swimming on summer days, and enjoy relaxing in the professionally maintained hot tub overlooking the lake! Pine Lake is a 660 acre all-sports lake that includes 4 total lakes, all connected, and is perfect to explore by boat! Pine Lake features a spectacular 4th of July fireworks show each summer and is a favorite spot for fishing tournaments as well! Our main house offers 2 bedrooms with one King sized bed and one queen sized bed. For additional sleeping space, we have a guest bunk-room just steps away from the front door (it is not directly connected to the house but very close by). This additional sleeping space offers 2 twin-over-full bunk beds and has heat and air conditioning. Please Note: we close the bunk-room during the Winter months (November 1 through April 1). If you will need to use the bunk room during the winter, please just let us know when you book your stay- we charge an additional $25 per night for use of the bunk-room in the off-season. For our youngest guests, we provide a pack & play upon request. Please note: the pack & play must be reserved when booking your reservation to ensure availability.

The main house features an open-flow from the kitchen to the dining area to the living room with a great view of the lake the moment you enter! The living and dining rooms offer plenty of seating for guests and a cozy gas log fireplace. The large deck overlooking the lake offers plenty of space to entertain and relax. We offer a comfortable outdoor sofa to lounge and relax, porch swings, an outdoor gas fire table, Blackstone grill, a dining table, a fire pit by the water, and a 6-person hot tub with a gorgeous view of the lake! Our hot tub is professionally maintained and is open year-round.

We provide 2 single person kayaks and 1 two-person kayak for your enjoyment. If you would like to explore the lake even further, pontoon boat rental is available for a separate cost. Please reach out to us for additional information regarding renting the pontoon boat.

In the winter time Pine Lake is very popular for ice fishing and snowmobiling, and also offers great ice skating! For the ski/snowboard/snow tubing enthusiast, there are a few different ski hills just a small drive away as well! Our hot tub is also open in the winter!

After spending the day on the lake, enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub overlooking the lake and wind down in the cozy oasis that we have created on the deck!

We are equipped with an on demand whole house generator, to ensure our guests are able to fully enjoy their vacation even when sporadic power outages happen in the winter (due to snow or ice) and in the spring/summer months (due to high wind or storms).

We would like our guests to please note that there is a set of stairs from our driveway leading down to the house. If you wish to avoid using stairs many of our guests use the grassy area along the side of the stairs to walk down to the main house.

Please note: We have a motion-activated security camera light on the house near the front door.

Pine Lake Retreat had great amenities and location! The beds were super comfortable! The water in this area is really hard and high in iron. The only improvement I would suggest is a larger water softener system because it caused the water pressure to be very low when regenerating.

The hot tub was sparkling, and lovely! The sheets, floors, counters, bathroom, and general spaces were clean and everything smelled nice. The best part is the deck. Lots of places to sit and people watch, or have coffee in the morning, and drinks at night as you're right on the water. Great communication, easy check in/out!

The house was very nicely updated with nice appliances and a coffee maker and dishwasher. It was a nice place for us with 4 adults and two small children. We enjoyed the swings on the deck and the fire place and hot tub too. The deck boards were a little rough but nothing too bad to stop us from using it daily. One comment I would like to make is that there wasn’t any mention of steps to walk down to get to the house. It was a bit steep and I feel an older person or someone with a disability might have trouble walking down the stairs. We used the grass on the side of the garage to walk up and down. We loved watching the boats go by and it was a very peaceful and relaxing week! Thank you

My family of four stayed here for a week in August. This was our first time renting on Pine lake and we enjoyed our stay very much. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. I absolutely loved the back deck area with the swinging chairs, hot tub, and fire table. We used all three while we were there. I could see how this would be a cozy place to be in the winter as well. We also use the Blackstone grill, which was really convenient. We rented their pontoon and really enjoyed fishing with the boat. We used the kayaks a lot as well. Owners responded to communication quickly. we had one issue while we were staying here, but owners responded immediately and issue was addressed. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

Check in was a breeze. House needed a deep clean. bunk house has a smell that is obviously trying to be covered up. Cant lock the bunk house because there is no working lock on door. Had to leave doors unlocked in case kids needed to come in house. No working tv in bunkhouse. House had dirty linens in washing machine upon arival. Everything got wiped down because it was dirty. Dirt in kitchen drawers. Food still on the silverware. Food wedged in couch. Cheap 10 dollar trash can that was broke did not match layout. Pee stains on carpet in rooms. Bed needs replaced. Mattess had a rut/ indentation on the side i slept on. Outside fireplace worked but had to move the glass chunks in order to open flap to start. Hot tub lid was busted and scraped my daughters leg up. The swing fell with my other daughter in it one night. Sore back next day. Peir was busted up so had to be careful not to fall thru Beach was over grown with weeds. Picked the weeds myself to get a sendy area for kids. Kayack were dirty and needed cleaned up. Had straps broke on em. Rented boat wich was filthy. Had to be swapped out due to motor issues. Permanent neighbors on one side were ok but let barking dog out at 5 am a few times. Other side had actual owners there too for the week. They had 3 dogs and never put em on leashes. They would constantly bark and came over a few times. Overall had a good time under circumstances. Price of stay did not match what i was expecting. Very disappointed

The Recurring Retreat

My family and I just returned home from our 4th year staying at the Pine Lake Retreat! Just a few of the reasons I would like to highlight that keep us coming back.....We enjoy that the property is lakefront with all the amenities we need. Our kids love to play down at the waters edge where there is a sandy beach. It's also nice that the property is located within walking distance to the Pine Lake Grocery Store and the Pine Lake Marina. The property owners are incredibly responsive, accommodating and are dedicated to ensuring their guests have a fantastic stay. Any questions we've had or minor requests have always been addressed promptly. The property has always been thoroughly cleaned upon arrival and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We cannot recommend this lake house highly enough. If you're looking for a clean, perfectly located, and wonderfully managed lakefront rental, look no further. We're already counting down the days until our next summer visit!

Fantastic customer care and location

We loved Pine Lake, property owners have a boat available to rent which they conveniently deliver right to the dock. The property was cute but a tad inconvenient for groups over 3-4.4 stars because it’s pricey, we couldn’t get the backyard fire pit to work even when using the printed instructions, the shower faucet and deck could use refreshing. There’s one bathroom, and there is a room separate from the house with bunk beds, this room wasn’t great overall. The air fresheners made everything that was in that room smell (not bad, just strong). Overall, cute place, we loved the hammock chairs and they the best hot tub, very comfortable.

Loved staying here - not suitable for mobility impaired

We really enjoyed staying here. Great view of the lake with kayaks and pontoon available for rent, nice deck with Blackstone grill, large fire table, hot tub, and plenty of seating. Bed and sectional were very comfortable; recliner section was catching, which we reported. House is nicely decorated, and we enjoyed the fireplace. We had no mosquitoes. Owner was quick to assist with questions. Overall, we had a very nice stay! Two potential changes i would recommend are redoing the staircase to get down to the house or incorporating a ramp and considering a generator to cover power outages. We lost power for about 36 hours due to tornado in Martin - obviously not a predictable issue, and we went to a hotel for a night so my husband could use his cpap to sleep. A generator would have spared us having to find a hotel. Even so, if our minor mobility issues don't get worse, I will likely look to book some time here next summer.

Exactly as described

We stayed here as a home base for our mom trip away. It was quiet and relaxing. We spent our two days traveling between saugatuck, south haven, and plainwell and then came back to the lake house to relax. The hot tub was in a perfect location that felt private, but we could still enjoy watching wild life. The kitchen was fully stocked with both cooking essentials and some spices. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We would stay here again without hesitation.
