Middle Lake Vacations
Yes, we encourage you to BYOB (bring your own boat). We provide free boat trailer parking and have a brand-new dock that allows easy tie up. We also provide 2 single kayaks and additional kayaks for a small fee from our neighbors at Welcome Woods Campground.
We encourage guests to bring their own life jackets properly fitted to their body, but we do provide an assortment of various sizes.
Yes, we provide two mountain bikes (Trek & Specialized) you are free to use on our residential street or area gravel roads. Guest should consider bringing their own bikes as we have excellent country dirt roads to ride around the lake, but also an extensive network of paved trails in Hastings, Michigan. Our beloved country dirt roads are famous for the annual Barry-Roubaix Killer Gravel Road Bike Race. Please check it out: www.barry-roubaix.com as we are happy to provide maps of the race courses (and maybe go on a ride with you or we can set you up with a local bike tour guide)
Yes, we offer a 10% discount on nightly rate for guests choosing to stay 7 nights. See rate calculator on calendar/rates tab. Weeklong stays are run Friday-Friday or Saturday-Saturday only.
No pets allowed on property and a $250 fee if guest breaks the no pet house rule. We are happy to connect our guests to local overnight dog boarding. Check out our friends at: www.KAZCanineCorners.com
Sunrise Sunset Calendar – Michigan, USA As a lake courtesy to fisherman and kayakers, we discourage water skiing and tubing the last hour before sunset.
Yes, and a starter Smores kit with roasting sticks too!
It’s a sand bottom lake beach front but as many Michigan inland lakes you might encounter a random weed. Some people prefer to wear water sandals. You may see a small fish and the occasional turtle swimming in the water nearby.
Yes, several fishing poles available.
You will find a variety of fish including rock bass, largemouth bass, perch, bream/bluegill, northern pike, catfish and pumpkinseed sunfish here.
The nearest beer store is 2 miles away at Welcome Woods Campground (522 Welcome Road, Hastings) where you can find bait, beer and general items. Our favorite local store for excellent steaks and grilling meats is 4.8 miles away at Tom’s Meat Market (241 E. State Road, Hastings). Approximately 5 miles away in Hastings you will find many options including Aldi’s, Family Fare, and Walmart Supercenter.
Police Services (269) 948-4801
Spectrum Health Pennock Urgent Care (1108 W. State Street, Hastings) is located 6 miles (11 mins) away. Phone (269) 948-3360
Yes, however the yard and neighboring properties are treated once monthly by a professional mosquito control company in the summer months. Bug spray (Deet and non-Deet) is provided.
No. As parents ourselves we know the importance of baby/toddler safety-proofing while on vacation and are unable to guarantee that level of child safety protection at this lake home.
In short, No. Turnarounds at our cottage are intense, as we have very high standards for cleanliness both inside and outside of the cottage. Simply put, a single night does not justify all the work involved. If you see a stray night on the calendar as hovering between two reservations, while technically open, it is not available to book.
We use a professional cleaning service which costs us $125 per stay. An entire disinfecting clean of the interior and exterior (kayaks, gas grill, patio furniture, game room) requires at least 4 hours of time regardless of the condition of the property upon check-out.
We request a written (email) notice if you need to cancel a reservation. You may cancel up to 60 days before check-in for a 100% refund of initial payment (minus $75 processing fee). You may cancel 30 days prior to scheduled stay for a 50% refund of initial payment (minus $75 processing fee). Cancellations of 29 days or less are ineligible for refunds. To protect yourself in the event of a cancellation that falls short of the 60-day full refund window, we suggest you purchase Cancel for Any Reason travel insurance for your stay.
