Your Perfect Southwest Michigan Lakehouse Getaway

A Rare Family Retreat on Lake Cora—Designed for Joy, Comfort, and Connection

Welcome to your escape from the everyday—a spacious and thoughtfully curated lakefront home nestled on the crystal-clear shores of Lake Cora, just outside Kalamazoo and conveniently located two hours from both Chicago and Detroit.

With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, this home is built to comfortably host large families, multi-generational gatherings, and groups looking to create lasting memories together. From sunrise swims to sunset s’mores by the fire pit, this property was designed to spark connection and joy.

Kids will love the playground, inflatable water slide, bouncy houses, and safe, shallow-entry baby beach perfect for hours of carefree play. Adults can relax in the hot tub, detox in the sauna, or enjoy lawn games like croquet, bocce, and bags on the sprawling waterfront lawn.

For those looking to stay active, the home includes a Peloton bike, free weights, and a rowing machine—or head outdoors for kayaking, paddleboarding, or a peaceful ride on one of the bikes available for guest use.

And for guests who love fresh food and quiet moments in nature, you’re invited to enjoy the property’s garden and orchard: pick sun-ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and zucchini, or sample the apples, peaches, and cherries from our trees (when in season).

Inside, you’ll find an immaculate bar/game room, generous communal spaces, and everything you need to relax in style and comfort.

We rent only to families with strong references who value respect, fun, and togetherness. If that sounds like you, we’d be honored to welcome you to our home.
