About this property

Take in gorgeous sunsets and crystal clear water from our year-round home on the eastern shore of Hubbard Lake- one of Northern Michigan’s finest inner lakes. Lounge on the private deck overlooking the lake or cozy up in front of the fireplace in the knotty pine living room. This lakefront gem has been lovingly cared for and provides privacy on a unique 1/2 acre wooded lot with mature oak and towering pine in a quiet residential setting. 100 ft. of lake frontage. The perfect "Up North" getaway any time of the year!

Home features two bedrooms with queen beds, living room with stone fireplace and two sofa beds (one queen and one twin), full kitchen, laundry room, one bathroom and a dining nook. Outdoor table, fire pit and deck (which is located down a flight of stairs toward the lake).

Quiet serene location where you can truly relax and unwind. In warm weather sit back and listen to the call of the loons, lapping waves and the whispering pines. In cold weather, curl up in front of the fire and enjoy the beautiful views!

Things to know:
Firewood is provided. There are steps down to the lake, with a deck halfway down. Please note that the steps to the lake are not maintained in the winter.

Fall Getaway

We enjoyed a great relaxing fall getaway at the Hubbard Lake house. Pockets of vibrant color were starting in the area foliage. The home has a vintage flare but is well appointed with kitchen supplies, comfortable furniture and beds. Outstanding sunset views of the lake from inside and out. We also enjoyed a warm fire on a rainy chilly day. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and a sandy beach at Huron Park in Black River not to far away. Overall we had a nice relaxing stay and we hope to return in the future. Thanks!

Peaceful place

Perfect place to take retreat from busy life. Crystal clear water, beautiful pines, quiet neighborhood and gorgeous house completed with perfect sunsets. If you want to rewind, recharge body and a brain, this is a place to stay. My wife, our German shepherd and I, enjoyed perfect week staying at Whispering pines cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Harley

We have been vacationing in Northern Michigan since we were children (more than 40 years ago!) and are lucky enough now to own our little place "up North" which was always a dream for us. We believe there is no better place in the world than Northern Michigan for relaxing and enjoying nature. The air is cleaner, the water is clearer than anywhere else we've ever visited. Our little place on Hubbard Lake is our dream come true. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do - we are excited to share it with others!

Why they chose this property

This home is a real gem - offering beautiful views and access to the crystal clear waters of Hubbard Lake - from the privacy of a wooded 1/2 acre lot in a residential area. There is no traffic noise. We are sometimes blown away by how quiet it is here (compared to where we live in the city!). Sometimes all you can hear is the wind in the pines and the call of the loons. The only motors you hear are the boats going by. . . We have worked hard since we purchased the home to make it more comfortable and updated (fantastic wifi, new dock, some new appliances, new furniture, new plumbing and fixtures, etc.) We go out of our way to make our guests are comfortable and take pride in our cleanliness (by a professional between each booking) and our accessibility (usually within one hour of any inquiry or request).

What makes this property unique

This is a new listing, a knotty pine year-round beauty that has never been rented before. This is truly a unique property and if you compare it to other listings of similar size, you will find it is a real value. The privacy is the most unique benefit- there is plenty of room to stretch out in the spacious backyard and from the private deck (located half-way down the stairs to the lake) you won't see anything (or anyone) besides your view of the lake!
