About this property

Modern Lakefront Gun Lake Cottage Near Bay Pointe Inn

Welcome to the lake! Whether you're here for a relaxing retreat, wedding at Bay Pointe, or family getaway, we know you'll find what you are looking for. Our cottage has been professionally renovated w/all new furnishings. Kitchen is spacious & well equipped. Sandy shallow swim area & dock are ideal for hanging out, launching kayaks & docking your boat. Perfect lake for water sports, fishing & watching wildlife. End your evenings with a bonfire under the stars or hanging out on the dock.

The space
Fully renovated in 2023, our cottage feels fresh and new. High-end details in the kitchen and bathrooms make the space feel luxurious while the professionally designed interiors bring the cozy comforts of home.

With 55' of private lake frontage and a sandy shallow swim area it's the perfect spot to hanging out or watch the kids splash around. Pro Tip: Bring the plastic adirondacks from the garage into the water for an ideal spot to cool off and spend the day.

Proximity to Bay Pointe Inn – only ¼ mile down the road and easily walkable. Whether you’re attending an event or just grabbing dinner, Bay Pointe is a great place to enjoy beautiful views of the lake from their upper deck.

The 3-season porch is our favorite spot to hang out. It's a great spot to read a book or gather your crew. Open all the windows and enjoy the lake breeze or the early morning crisp air. Even on rainy days it’s the perfect place for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

At the end of long day of fun in the sun, gather around the Solo Stove for bonfires and smores.

We often hear that winter is the best time to be on the lake. The lake freezes over so it's a great spot for ice fishing or hockey and is incredibly peaceful in the winter. Snowshoe trails are nearby. The house is equipped with radiant heat and an electric fireplace to cozy up by and warm up after a day of winter fun.

Driveway provides parking for up to 6 cars.

Convenient access from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and really most of southwest Michigan and the central great lakes region. Only 10 minutes east of US-131.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire house. We keep our boat at the dock and store a few tools and supplies in the garage, so we ask that you respect these areas. We will make any areas of the garage that are off limits clear, but other than that, the house is yours to enjoy!

Other things to note
We encourage you to open the windows and let the lake breezes flow.
As the cottage was originally built in the 1950's, it does not have central air conditioning, but the lake breeze and fans have kept it plenty cool.
The cottage has radiant boiler heat throughout and is great for all seasons.

Great relaxing weekend away!
We just stayed for a girls weekend and found this cottage to be everything we needed! Paul was extremely prompt in his responses to any questions we had. The cottage was clean, the rooms were large, the kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the large table surronded by windows in the dining room area. It is just 0.2 miles down from BayPointe where we enjoyed a really nice dinner. Thanks again for your accomodations!

Beautiful lake house
Came for a short weekend trip and the view and house were excellent. Loved the spacious extremely well equipped kitchen and large dining room table, these are things that are usually hard to come by. The house has everything a large family needs and more.

A wonderful retreat!
Wow. Although it was just me much of the time, this beautiful lakeside house would easily sleep 7 or 8 or maybe even 10. I loved how bright and open it was and because I was on a bit of a writing retreat, I loved how many different little nooks there were to sit and work. With the huge dining table and other sitting areas, this really is perfect for a larger group but I enjoyed all the space too. It's basically right on the lake and during a storm I was able to walk like 100 feet out onto a dock to watch the light show. DO NOT forget to make time for the cookie place a short walk away - Maddie's. Possibly the best cookies I've ever had. And the house is only like a half hour away from Grand Rapids, which was GREAT for a little outing. I put together a little Friday night getaway to Long Road Distillery and a sketch comedy show at The Comedy Project across from the distillery. Basically a perfect trip :)

About the host

Hosted by Paul Knust

Host profile image
Paul is from Grand Rapids, and Megan is from Orlando. We both have grown up on or near water - with Megan's dad being a semi-pro bass fisherman in Florida. We each have fond memories of various watersports - ranging from quality time fishing to sailing, wakeboarding and just cruising. We have two young kids of our own and we hope to create and share similar memories for them.

We love hosting and working to create a warm and welcoming space where your family and friends can create memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

We love this cottage and area for a few reasons. First, the incredible lake view from all of the main living areas of the house. Second, the shallow sandy swim area provides a great place for kids to play and adults to relax. Third, the location just 1/4 mile from Bay Pointe Inn makes it an ideal place to stay if you are attending a wedding, event, or dinner there.

What makes this property unique

Our property shines because of the level of finishes - it has been masterfully renovated and offers all the comforts of a 2nd home as opposed to just a cottage. It's cozy, but does not feel small, and has everything needed for a wonderful stay. The sandy swim area and location on the bay with the deepest water of a quite shallow lake also makes it an ideal location for water sports.
