Make new memories! Vacation in the forest on Loon Lake: spacious; scenic; fun.

Waterfront House on Scenic Loon Lake
Nestled in the forest, this lakefront home has it all. You can enjoy panoramic views from the stunning open concept communal space. But, why stay inside when the large private yard includes a scenic bluff and shoreline on Loon Lake? Of Michigan’s 11,000+ inland lakes, Loon Lake in Hale, Michigan, has to be one of the gems. It is tranquil, yet rated for all-sports, so whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or a family holiday of active fun, you won’t be disappointed. Come visit anytime—we promise, it is spectacular in every season!

Indoor Space: Chuck the Buck welcomes you!
This house has 2900 sq. ft. of living space with all the comforts and conveniences of home. The cathedral ceiling of the entry level creates a huge gathering space with enough lounge seating for everyone. It is open to a fully equipped kitchen and indoor dining around the dinette table or at island bar stools. Yes, we have a large screen TV, but don’t forget to check the entry cabinet for games and puzzles. The entry level also has two spacious master bedrooms with comfortable king size beds, two full bathrooms and a dedicated laundry room. Off season visitors (Oct-May) may appreciate the warmth and ambiance of the gas fireplace.

The giant upstairs loft includes a half bath, lots of sleeping space (queen, bunkbed, twin bed), couches for hanging out, desks for your students or the work-from-home folk, and even a play area with a few toys for the kiddos. On the upstairs landing, you will also find a book nook with a selection of classics and a beanbag chair to nestle into. Also available, an electric piano—please respect the instrument, children must be supervised.

Coming May 2024, more available square footage at the walk-out level (pool table, seating area).

Outdoor Space: Gather, Visit, Play, Make Memories!
This is why you book here! Enjoy outdoor meals on the full-length deck (propane barbeque available), a tranquil morning with a cup of coffee on the lower patio, or sunset campfires at the top of the bluff (firepit and firewood provided). The 35’ elevation enhances the view! Wide, gradual, sturdy steps provide access to the lake level or take the switchback walking path down the hill (new). Lakeside improvements (2023) created a 106’ ribbon of flat land at the lakefront (construction pictures posted--grass has now come in). Dock (May 15-October 30) provides access to gradual slope and sandy bottom Loon Lake for loads of waterfront fun. Guests are welcome to use our two kayaks and one canoe (paddles and keyhole style lifejackets provided). Please bring custom fit lifejackets for children and non- swimmers. Motorized watercraft are not included in the rental, but you may launch your own boat at the nearby Plainfield Township public access site for fishing or all-sports fun.

Tourist Stuff: You cannot do it all in one visit!
Hale is the gateway to the Huron National Forest, 20 miles from Lake Huron, close to multiple hiking, cycling, and skiing trails, many ORV trails for off roading in all seasons, golf courses, hunting, fishing, even shopping (if you must—Tawas) and so much more. Check the entryway guestbook for local options and add your own suggestions for future guests.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Amazing experience
The home is amazing!! The property has everything you could imagine. We rented a boat from a local place and had the best time of our lives. The shore is shallow and sandy, great for younger kids to play in or gradually wade out. The house is outfitted with everything you might need. The owners are fantastically kind. This house goes on my list of favorites.

Family vacation
Our family had such a great time at this location. The home was beautiful, fully stocked with everything we needed and was very clean. We had a bonfire all the time and the wood was supplied. We really enjoyed spending time in the water, btw, the water is crystal clear! The steps going to the water are not bad going down…coming back up was a little rough after spending hours floating on the water. If you have bad hips I wouldn’t recommend. Overall our experience at this home was fantastic and my family created wonderful lifelong memories.

Amazing
We brought our family (8 of us) for a special trip before our kids move out of the house. This place surpassed our expectations and we had an amazing week. We felt spoiled. Everything was clean and seemed new. There is a great view of the lake and we kept our boat tied at the dock. The only downfall is 93 steps to the lake, but it is worth every step. I highly recommend this place.

Family and friends gathering on the lake
Our group had a great weekend in this fabulous house on Loon Lake, equipped with everything we needed, inside and out. The house was spacious and comfortable. Beautiful lake views from every window. We kayaked, canoed and swam. We grilled dinner on the patio and enjoyed a bonfire, toasting marshmallows on the fire pit. Communication with the owners was excellent! Highly recommend this place!

End of a once in a lifetime trip
We stayed here at the end of our 5 Great Lakes in 24 hour trip. It was exactly what we needed. The lake was perfect; the sitting area made it so easy to stay down there for the day. Lots of room! The cottage itself was perfect. Ample living space and the bedrooms were great for each of the 3 couples. Jim and Lori were fantastic hosts and very responsive leading up to the trip. Would absolutely recommend and return if we had the opportunity!

Beautiful peaceful loon lake
We had the most amazing time here with our dog over memorial day. It was so peaceful and quiet on the lake. There are lots of great areas both indoors and outdoors to spend time. Jim was extremely responsive to questions, including right when we got in at 10 pm for a question about how to turn the grill on. We only had 2 people, but there was a lot of room for additional people if you have a larger group. I would love to go back!

Fall family getaway
We had an amazing long weekend at this beautiful home! Three generations (4 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 kids) were all very comfortable because the home is so spacious and cozy. We enjoyed the fall colors along the River Rd Byway. There were trails for hiking and scenic overlooks to accommodate all ages. Great communication from the owners and plenty of blankets, pillows, and anything needed in the kitchen. Excited to return next year!

Great stay until the lake got a chemical infusion
We had a lovely 3 days at this spacious, clean lake house in mid-August. The views of the lake from the house and deck, and lake access- were great. Several adults found the mattresses to be uncomfortable, and it was inconvenient to have to drag 4 indoor chairs outside to supplement the 4 chairs at the deck table so that all 8 of us could eat together. Still, we would have rated this property higher if we hadn't had a negative experience on our 4th day. We were swimming in the lake in the morning when a neighbor hollered over that there had been an herbicide infusion in the lake that morning, making it unsafe for swimming (Glyphosate, Endothall Diquat Dibromide, and more). We were surprised and upset! We got our toddlers out of the water and into the shower ASAP. We couldn't use the lake for our last day and a half. When I messaged the hosts later, they said that they were sorry that this happened during our stay. They hadn't been notified about the herbicide treatment either. Still, we were paying guests that were unable to utilize the lake as planned. An offer to at lease reimburse us for lost lake time would have been appropriate and appreciated.

Beautiful lake house property
We loved this lake house property & our 2 family group really enjoyed our time there! The upstairs was perfect for our group of 6 kids to each have their own sleeping space but still be together. The house had all of the comforts of home & there wasn’t anything that seemed “missing” when we needed it. There are quite a bit of steps to the lake, but as long as we remembered everything we needed when we headed down then we were all good. The kids loved taking the kayaks out & the adults just stayed by the dock. The lake was so clear and we loved that the water was shallow off of the dock so that the kids could play without worries. The area was great too & we’ve already talked about planning a trip back!
