About this property

Secluded Lodge on Lac Vieux Desert 370 Feet of Lakefront-Private Beach

Come and escape to this beautiful private lakefront retreat in Watersmeet, Michigan, just outside of Land O"Lakes, on Misery Bay on Beautiful Lac Vieux Desert. Situated on a peninsula with your own private 180-degree views of the bay. Expect incredible sunrises and sunsets that will absolutely take your breath away! You can be assured of peace and tranquility while watching the loons, eagles, otter and deer parade by in their natural splendor.
Surrounded by the majestic Ottawa National Forest on the famous Lac Vieux Desert Lake- a 4,200-acre class A fishing lake. This property is set on an extremely private 3.3-acre parcel, where peace, quiet, and seclusion await you. With 4 warm and cozy bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and enough sleeping accommodations for up to 12 guests. This home is a great size, and layout for multiple families or groups traveling together.

Our home is equipped with WIFI. The large dining room table seats 10 for enjoyable family gatherings. Spend fun evenings and rainy days at home in the game room, which offers a bar, refrigerator, flat screen TV, pool table, ping pong table, and dartboard, to keep you entertained during your downtime. Outdoor features include a large deck with table and chairs, gas BBQ grill, lakeside campfire pit with firewood, volleyball/badminton net, basketball court, horseshoe pit, and 370 feet of awesome lake frontage, with your own private sandy beach.

From the front yard, you can enjoy immediate access to fishing or canoeing, and the nearby snowmobile trails are accessible right off the lakefront - No need to drive anywhere to access the trail! In the area, the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Chippewa offers a beautiful casino complex with gambling, bingo, golf, and a good restaurant. The annual Indian Pow- Wow is held at the nearby Indian Village. Bond Falls is a short drive away and is a local favorite.

Amazing

This property is amazing. Rain or shine there is something for everyone to do inside or outside. The owners are super nice and responsive. They provide all the amenities you need for the stay. Great beach area, boating,fishing and swimming the best. The firepit area is awesome, a great place for friends and family to unwind from the day and roast marshmallows or make smores! Yum! Didn't want to leave, but there is always next year!

40th Birthday snowmobile trip

The house was a fantastic place for our group to stay! Everything was clean and just as described. The location was a perfect spot to get on to the snowmobile trails and the driveway was big enough to accommodate the 3 trailers and trucks that we had. We can't wait to go back!

Winter Wonderland

This was an amazing property to stay at for our ice fishing excursion. Plenty of space for us to park 4 trucks with trailers. And the use of the garage to get our gear out of the winter elements was very nice. Also all the indoor space fit 12 of us perfectly. The game room downstairs was a perfect place to unwind after a long day. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Christmas Break Vacation

This property was perfect for our group. The amenities were top notch. Truly appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with sharp knives, crock pots, spices and condiments. We all felt like we were in a home and not just a rental. An extra bonus included comfortable beds. I have a bad back, and had no problem sleeping. The garage was full of anything and everything you would need to entertain your group in all seasons, not to mention the basement rec area including a pool table, ping pong table, dartboard and a bar area. We enjoyed snowmobiling, ice fishing and many fires in the fire pit. You will not be disappointed with this property.
