About this property

Secluded Guest Cottage on West Arm of Walloon Lake

This 1600 square foot ranch style home has a walk out lower level that can accommodate up to 10 people located on a gentle slope approximately 170' from beautiful Walloon Lake amidst scenic mature forest. A 40’ spacious deck complete with table & chairs, makes for a perfect area to enjoy a dinner on a summer evening or check into work with our high speed fiber internet! Located next to the cottage is a picnic table, gas & charcoal grills & play area with swing set.

The Guest Cottage shares the 3-acre property with the Family Cottage which is located through the forest about 90’ away. No roads intersect the area between the cottages and the lakefront. Our cottages share 200’ of shore front; two swim rafts and a large, gorgeous dock offering plenty of room for you to enjoy the beautiful sunrises & a slip to moor your own boat. At the water’s edge a lounge deck with table and chairs and a small sandy beach area for children awaits you, your family & friends. Each cottage has its own tandem kayak & campfire pit to enjoy. The lake bottom is sandy with a gradual slope from the end of the dock outward.

Two Sears & Roebuck Cabins created the Guest Cottage by combining them into one. The upper level has an open floor plan with the original Douglass Fir floors including a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, kitchen table with built in benches and living room with comfortable swivel chairs, rocking chair & leather couch-with wainscoting throughout. The living room also has a wall mounted 50” TV & Blue Ray. Wainscoting continues in the upstairs bathroom & has a 4' shower. The three upstairs bedrooms-two with queen-sized beds and the third with 2 twin beds-all have ceiling fans.
The lower level is accessed from the living room by a spiral staircase or from the outside. A large, open family room has Cedar wainscoting, ceiling fans, a trundle bed (2 twin beds), and two love-seats, TV & DVD, along with a sitting area to enjoy our many board games. A bedroom is located off the family room has a queen bed, ceiling fan and adjoining bathroom with a tub/shower. The laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer & wash tub is also located downstairs.

The cottage is non-smoking & has adjustable electric heat available in every room. Blankets, pillows, linens, and bath towels are furnished–please bring your own beach towels. No smoking, pets, firearms, fireworks, or additional guests living in campers are allowed to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for all. A local caretaker is on call and mid-week cleaning is also available for an additional cost.

About the host

Hosted by Marty Moyers

Host profile image
My husband & I live in Colorado & the kids are grown, so we don't get to enjoy the cottage as often as we would like. So, we thought we would share this magical place with others allowing them to make Walloon a tradition & create fond memories that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

My family lived in Ann Arbor, but my sister, mom & I would always spend our summers at my grandmother's cottage in Minnesota. My dad decided to buy the property on Walloon Lake so we could spend more time together. After an exhaustive search of other lakes, we found that none could hold a candle to beautiful Walloon. We were all enchanted by the beautiful Caribbean turquoise blue color of the lake and the big, beautiful Hemlocks, Beech, Maple & Birch trees on the property. The 200' of shoreline & 3 acres gave us lots of room to play, explore & relax. The property initially had 2 small Sears & Roebuck cabins on it-that we later joined & modified to create the guest cottage after we finished building the family cottage.

What makes this property unique

Some of our favorite things to do at the cottage are: watching the sunrise over the quiet, glassy lake; water skiing; swimming; kayaking; tubing; fishing; sailing; exploring the woods & looking for morels; laying on my back looking up through the tree limbs to the tree tops-marveling at their size; curling up with a good book in front of the fire; picking cherries at a nearby orchard; taking a nap on the porch; grilling an evening meal & enjoying it on the patio overlooking the lake; looking for satellites, falling stars & the northern lights on the dock; and our favorite of course...good conversation & drinks around the campfire with friends & family while enjoying s'mores :)
