Waterfront House on Scenic Loon Lake
Nestled in the forest, this lakefront home has it all. You can enjoy panoramic views from the stunning open concept communal space. But, why stay inside when the large private yard includes a scenic bluff and shoreline on Loon Lake? Of Michigan’s 11,000+ inland lakes, Loon Lake in Hale, Michigan, has to be one of the gems. It is tranquil, yet rated for all-sports, so whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or a family holiday of active fun, you won’t be disappointed. Come visit anytime—we promise, it is spectacular in every season!
Indoor Space: Chuck the Buck welcomes you!
This house has 2900 sq. ft. of living space with all the comforts and conveniences of home. The cathedral ceiling of the entry level creates a huge gathering space with enough lounge seating for everyone. It is open to a fully equipped kitchen and indoor dining around the dinette table or at island bar stools. Yes, we have a large screen TV, but don’t forget to check the entry cabinet for games and puzzles. The entry level also has two spacious master bedrooms with comfortable king size beds, two full bathrooms and a dedicated laundry room. Off season visitors (Oct-May) may appreciate the warmth and ambiance of the gas fireplace.
The giant upstairs loft includes a half bath, lots of sleeping space (queen, bunkbed, twin bed), couches for hanging out, desks for your students or the work-from-home folk, and even a play area with a few toys for the kiddos. On the upstairs landing, you will also find a book nook with a selection of classics and a beanbag chair to nestle into. Also available, an electric piano—please respect the instrument, children must be supervised.
Check out the the lower walk-out level for the improvements we are working on. Currently, there is a pool table and another lounge area. We also have a "staging area" that has a variety of items for outdoor use (floats, life jackets, lawn chairs...). In the plans for 2025, a bench swing on the hillside--great spot to enjoy golden sunset views.
Outdoor Space: Gather, Visit, Play, Make Memories!
This is why you book here! Enjoy outdoor meals on the full-length deck (propane barbeque available), a tranquil morning with a cup of coffee on the lower patio, or sunset campfires at the top of the bluff (firepit and firewood provided). The 35’ elevation enhances the view! Wide, gradual, sturdy steps provide access to the lake level or take the switchback walking path down the hill (new). Lakeside improvements (2023) created a 106’ ribbon of flat land at the lakefront (construction pictures posted--grass has now come in). Two docks (May 15-October 30) provide access to gradual slope and sandy bottom Loon Lake for loads of waterfront fun. Guests are welcome to use our two kayaks and one canoe (paddles and keyhole style lifejackets provided). Please bring custom fit lifejackets for children and non- swimmers. Motorized watercraft are not included in the rental, but you may launch your own boat at the nearby Plainfield Township public access site for fishing or all-sports fun.
Tourist Stuff: You cannot do it all in one visit!
Hale is the gateway to the Huron National Forest, 20 miles from Lake Huron, close to multiple hiking, cycling, and skiing trails, many ORV trails for off roading in all seasons, golf courses, hunting, fishing, even shopping (if you must—Tawas) and so much more. Check the entryway guestbook for local options and add your own suggestions for future guests.
