Hillside Cottage on Gravel Lake

Escape to this delightful vacation rental nestled on the banks of Gravel Lake in Lawton, Michigan. Boasting nearly 90 feet of lake frontage, this charming cottage offers a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for your vacation meal preparations. All of the bedrooms are located on one level towards the back of the home. The first two bedrooms have Queen-sized beds, while the third bedroom features two bunk beds, each with twin-sized mattresses. The office/den also has a twin bed available for use.

Don’t stay here!

From day one there was little to no water available. Imagine getting in the shower, soaping up, and then NOTHING! There was also a toilet that needed to be fixed after someone used fishing wire to mend the handle. We reached out to property manager with NO help whatsoever. The home is older and outdated with uneven floors and entryway was dark and dangerously slippery when wet.The property mgr told us to “throw out a figure” for a partial refund for our troubles, and once we did, we were totally ignored with no communication whatsoever. Do yourself a favor, don’t stay here!

Fantastic House

We truly enjoyed our stay and LOVED the huge deck! Beautiful lake views and plenty of outdoor seating including a really nice cushioned sectional and a large umbrella table for outdoor dining. The yard was a hit with the teens for outdoor games and fire ring. The great room has wonderful lake views and is very spacious with a large table for indoor dining and of course, euchre! The house has a really nice flow and accommodated our family beautifully. We couldn't have asked for a better house for our family holiday weekend in MI! Thank you!!
