Cottage with lake views, private dock & fire pit - near public boat launch

Summary:

Walloon Lake Cottage



The Space:

Welcome to your summer lake cottage on Walloon Lake's West Arm! This home is just 30 feet from the lake and has a nice yard. Enjoy the lake views from the private dock or the outdoor fire pit. This is the perfect place to bring your boat; a public launch is just a mile away. The knotty pine ceilings and rustic furniture give the sense of a true 'Up North' experience. You'll fall in love with the cozy setting as you stare out onto the water. Walloon Lake is steps from the cottage and is ideal for swimming, boating, kayaking, etc. Children will enjoy the gradual drop-off and sandy bottom. US 131 is nearby, providing convenient access to Petoskey, Boyne City, and Charlevoix. Shopping, dining, and golf are all within a short driving distance. THINGS TO KNOW This property is only available in summer. VueStay Vacations manages this property. Michigan Real Estate license #6505433797.

Cozy cottage on the lake

Very cute, cozy cottage on the water. Property was slightly dated, but exactly what I expected based on listing. It was clean and inviting, and I appreciated the baby items they had on hand (high chair, plates/forks, outdoor chairs, etc). Great place for a vacation away with family.

Walloon Lake Cottage

We loved this little cottage! It fit our needs perfectly for a family of 5. It is a cottage though, no AC, cottage furniture, tiny bedrooms, very rustic, but if you are looking for a lake get away with an amazing view and spectacular location on Walloon, this is your place!

We really enjoyed or our stay it was a great getaway! The property was just as it was pictured.

We had a great time! The house was nice we had a small problem with the cleanliness of the main bath and some of the areas could have been a bit cleaner as well but that didn’t take away from the beautiful views over looking the lake. It’s a perfect spot to unplug for a few days (or longer if you had time) to recharge.

Good place to stay

Overall good rental. Spacious, and VERY good location on a beautiful lake. Deff an old school feel in the house but it’s clean as well. Only reason it’s not 5 star is because of the price and because the home is outdated.

Great fall getaway

Walloon Lake is a beautiful lake and this cottage made our stay very enjoyable. The property and neighborhood are lovely. Great lakeside deck and view. Cottage is well equipped...perfect for large and small visitors. Beautiful fall color weekend although quite windy and a little rainy (not unusual for Michigan fall weather). Can’t wait to return!

Family time on Walloon

We love this area on Walloon Lake. The water is beautiful! The cottage was perfect for our family. The loft was a great spot for our younger daughter and her friend. The dock was excellent for tying our boat and with the non-wood surface there were no splinters! We appreciate you sharing your family home with us. We made great memories!!

Beautiful lakefront!

This place is all about the water views & water access a few steps from your back door! While there is no sandy beach area, the steps down from the dock allow for easy entry into the water.... Sitting in chairs on the lawn, looking at Walloon is super relaxing & beautiful! You will have to drive your car or boat a little further to get to the village of Walloon fm this side of the lake near Boyne, but it’s still not far & well worth it to be right on the water! Rustic & comfy cottage! Would stay again!!

Vacation fun

The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival. It was the perfect size for a much needed family vacation. The seating on the dock was awesome for morning coffee, thru the day sunbathing, relaxing conversation and late night star gazing! The dock for the boat was perfect as well! Loved the back deck, the grill, the well stocked kitchen ( appliances and spices). The beds were comfy. The loft perfect for our adult children to "bunk" together and "catch up" with one another. Loved the entire experience! Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven.

Great place that is family friendly

We stayed for two weeks, one with two children and a couple of grandchildren, and the second week just the two of us. We stayed for one week last year and returned this time for two weeks. The new stairs and railing down to the lake are VERY nice and safe! We spent a lot of time on the dock and the deck. The cottage has most of the essentials that make for a pleasant stay. I read another book from the cottage and was impressed again with the reading material available. After coming to Walloon for over 60 years, it is a welcome reminder of the past in the area. A great time was had by all and we made sure that the place was as clean as if it was our own cottage.
