Cardinal Cottage on Private Lake

Michigan summers at the lake are hard to beat. And when the lake freezes over in the winter, bring your skates and fishing gear and get out on the ice. Spring & fall bring chilly evenings - perfect for indoor relaxation. Cardinal Cottage is a lakeside cozy home with a spacious yard, beautiful lake views, sandy beach, and chill vibe. Three kayaks and a paddle boat are available for use in warmer months, as well as a Mr. Steak gas grill, fire pit, and outside dining set. The lake is calling!
