Charming A-Frame on great fishing lake and state trail

This is cottage is the best of both worlds - both lakeside and trailside. It's ideal for the outdoor family who wants lake access for fishing, kayaking, and boating. Hart Lake (also known as Little Silver Lake) is an all sports lake. Included with this cottage is a canoe and three kayaks which you can take out and go fishing or cruise around the lake. The lakefront is intentionally left alone for fish and wildlife habitat - you'll have plenty of yellow lily pads and Illinois pondweed holding the bass or pike of your dreams! The floating dock is the perfect spot for launching kayaks and canoes, and docking your boat/jet ski which can be launched at the public access. This is not a sugar-sand beachfront, rather, it's been kept in its most natural state to attract creatures big and small.

The A-frame is uniquely situated at the trailhead of the Manistee National Forest, with miles upon miles of ATV/UTV & hiking trails, and small game and waterfowl hunting opportunities. This trail system connects with the Michigan State Snowmobile Trail, and can be the launch point of your adventure for ATV'ing, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, and waterfowl hunting on Unger Lake and others. Whitetail deer, turkey, owls, and many other critters are regular inhabitants of the trail system.

There is ample room for throwing a football and other outdoor games as the lot is very spacious. Pack light because also included are linens, towels, beach towels, all your paper needs, hard wood for fire pit, Wi-Fi, stocked kitchen, flat screen TV and basic cable.

This charming cottage is located only 15 minutes from Cedar Point's Michigan Adventure Amusement Park, 10 minutes from Stonegate Golf Club, 30 minutes from Double JJ Ranch (indoor water park for rainy days), 40 minutes from Silver Lake Sand Dunes, 20 minutes from Muskegon State Park and numerous other attractions, Cedar Point Michigan Adventure Amusement Park (19 minutes), local vegetable stand (4 minutes), local mini-market/grocery complete with everything you need including meat, cheese, candy, supplies, gas and more (6 minutes), seasonal fruit farms, pizza joint (8 minutes), local bar and restaurant (7 minutes), wineries/breweries (25-30 minutes). For the girls, shop in downtown Grand Haven or Whitehall (awesome gift, clothing and specialty food shops).

For nature lovers, the bird calls here are fantastic. This cottage is lovely for those who want a peaceful place to relax, read, hike, cook, or just be. This is an amazing place for kids to fish, swim, roast marshmallows around the camp fire and play on their own beach. Come stay with us!!

Great location!
Cute little house at the end of a dead end road. No traffic (which we loved). All 4 young adult & teen kids loved kayaking/canoeing on the lake! Just what we needed, quiet & relaxation.

Great Time!
This house on the lake was just right for our family to have a long weekend together. The weather was perfect and we had a great time taking the kayaks out, fishing, playing games, and taking walks. The house was cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinners together. Plenty of beds, and the basement bedroom was (wonderfully) freezing yet comfortable with all the extra blankets. Had a great time, would happily stay again!

Ice Fishing Weekend
Property was perfect for our group. Ice fishing weekend with college friends. Had planned on 10 people in our group but had couple last minute cancellations so we had 8 that stayed overnight for 3 nights. Plenty of room for everyone and all got a bed. Pictures don't show the basement but basically another family room down there with even more room. Was a little concerned about parking but hosts did a great job clearing snow so plenty of room to park. Also shoveled steps down to the lake which just made it easier to get down there with all our ice fishing equipment. Fishing was great. Host gave lots of info on that and communication with host was excellent. Went out to eat one night, Lefty & Romo's about 5 miles away back towards Muskegon. Very good pub food. Overall excellent and would recommend staying here.
