Description of the Irish Hills vacation cottage rental

Round Lake is a 600 acre "all sports" lake. No Public access to this lake, thus less "crazies" on the lake. Access to rowboat and paddleboat included. I have a large "floating island" which is a large inflatable for up to 6 people to enjoy relaxing on the lake. Dock space available for your own boat. Shallow hard sand lake bottom (no weeds at all) at property great for swimming for kids of all ages. Good fishing on lake (including directly off dock). The lake offers good bass fishing, I have also caught various pan fish, as well as Northern Pike and an occasional walleye. Cottage is fully furnished, 850 sq, with a large 6x20 deck overlooking the lake (Great Views) with patio furniture for 6. Shared (with 2 other cottages) small fire pit at waters edge.

Pontoon boat available for rent for additional charge ($500/wk or $120/day). I also have 2 2013 model jet skis for rent. They are $700/week (both for $1100), $300 for one day ($500 for both), or $400 for 2 days ($600 for both).

I have two two bedroom cottages available, and one 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage available. I am now taking reservations for Spring/Summer 2013. I keep my availability calender up to date, if the calender shows an open day, at least one of my cottages is available. I have alot of prime weeks in a 2 bedroom cottage due to a recent cancelation from a long time guest who had 3 weeks reserved. My 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage is available for weeks in August. If you have a larger group, and need multiple cottages, contact me ASAP for 2013 as I have only limited weeks currently with two or more cottages open.
Make plans now for a great time at the lake, and life long family memories. My cottages are very Family friendly.

The rates listed are for my 2 bedroom cottages, my 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage is $1,300 a week for prime summer weeks.

I only rent on a weekly basis during prime summer (Mid June-Late Aug). I will offer 2 night rentals in May, early June, and starting Labor Day weekend. Contact me for pricing.

Cottages come fully equipped (with the exceptions of bed linens and towels) for you to enjoy your family vacation.

Area Information

Cottage is in the Devils Lake, Manitou Beach area. About 1/3 mile to "town". Town consists of a couple full service restaurant/bar, party store, miniture gold/ice cream shop, pizza place, grocery store. etc. Located in the Irish Hills. About 5 miles from Michigan International Speedway.

Round lake is about 550 acres. All sports. Good fishing. Lake is very deep in spots, but very popular sandbar in middle of lake draws a decent amount of boats on weekends for swimming, partying, and relaxing.


Round Lake does connect to larger Devils Lake (about 1000 acres) but only very small boats, and jet skis can make it under the brige.

I also have another 2 two bedroom/one bath cottage as well as a 3 bedroom at the same location. The 2 bedroom cottages are great for a family of 4, while the 3 bedroom is great for a large family or two small familes. Call for availability of the 2 bedroom cottages. Discounts offered for multi cottage or multi week rentals. I have extended families that rent all 3 cottages for a great extended family gathering.

Great family bonding

We rented 2 of the units and all of our expectations were met. The house and duplex were clean and well maintained. The lake was quiet and the water very clear. Thanks for the memories! Kim

We enjoyed the week we stayed there during our hunting trip. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed to have a pleasant stay. Would recommend this place to anyone. The owner was friendly and great to work with.

Great Family Vacation

August 3, 2012

We rented the 3 bedroom cottage. It was very clean and more roomy than I expected. The kids had so much fun with the row boat and paddle boat. They also had a chance to fish by the dock and caught some blue gill and bass. Very family oriented atmosphere. The owner Mike is very professional to deal with from the start, was very helpful with awesome costumer service.

The cottage was great, beautiful water, had a lot of fun at the sandbar. Mike was terrific and we loved the pontoon boat. The only thing we didn't love was that the people in the 3 bedroom cottage had like 20 people with them every single day. We only had people up on the weekend, because we wanted to be considerate. Otherwise, the week was one of my favorite vacations ever! Visit Highland Inn for great food and drinks and Jerry's Pub on Wampler's Lake.

The renting process was simple with Mike. The place was pretty much as advertised and is in a great location. We rented the pontoon, and other then being hard to start (which I figured out the magic touch by the 3rd day) was great.. It allowed us to get to the very cool sand bar... Great beach, great location, very clean... Mike & Chuck the property manager, we're both great to deal with... We had a great vacation and will be ack..

Nice Place in a very good location

My family and I rented the upstairs 2 bdrm apartment and had a great time. It was really nice to have the water right there. The lake is great. Our dog loved wading into the water to fetch his ball. The weather was great. The other neighbors turned out to be great. Overall, it was a great vacation. We definitely would go back.

Awesome time!

My husband and I had a chance for a spontaneous getaway and Mike had the perfect dates and cottage available. We stayed in the upstairs 2 bdrm unit and absolutely loved our time there! The unit was very clean and bug free! The water toys were so much fun and the sandy bottom right at the docks are a plus! We had fantastic neighbors below us, which made our experience that much more enjoyable! Chuck took very good care of us too. Thanks Mike, it's a beautiful lake, great property, and we can't wait to come back! John & Vicki

Summer vacation 2012

July 1, 2012

We had so much fun! Cottage is clean, view is spectacular and the weather was perfect! Room air conditioners are in the bedrooms and a fan in the master bedroom because it was hot! Walking around to see the local cottages is a treat as attractive landscaping and renovations are everywhere. We enjoyed the floating raft and the water was just the right temp. Would definitely go back to this lake again if not the same cottage. Visited Hidden Lake Gardens, the Cherry Creek Winery and Walker Tavern which were all nice. Wish I owned property on this lake!

Property as advertised, yet beyond expectations

June 25, 2012

What a great time, on a beautiful lake, with a homely feel. We stayed at the 3-bedroom ranch cottage in June 2012 for a 5 day/4 night stay, and it was beyond all of our expectations. Start to finish, we had zero issues on communication and follow-thru from the owner (Mike) to the maintenance guy (Chuck). Mike was pleasant during the entire reservation and confirmation process, and was very considerate with a follow-up call upon checkout to get our feedback and opinions. Chuck was there within a few hours upon arrival to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, and provided some local tips and tricks for eateries, directions, etc. He was open with the instructions to call for ANYTHING that we needed, but because of the wonderful condition of the property, we never had to take him up on that offer, as we required no additional services or immediate needs. The property was clean, and believe it or not, I think the lake was cleaner. Crystal clear water! The amenities to play on the lake were enough to help pass the time and aid in the relaxation process. And the accommodations of the 3-bedroom cottage itself left nothing to be desired. Full kitchen (stocked with all the essentials - pots, pans, silverware, etc.), comfortable living room with big-screen TV with Dish Network service, and all the necessities needed in the bedrooms and bathrooms. This really was an amazing trip, at an amazing cottage, with an amazing setting. Two thumbs up, and we are already looking forward to our next stay there! Thanks for everything!

All in all a good time.

June 24, 2012

We rented the lower section of the 2 bedroom cottage - as suggested by Mike, the owner. I am a heart transplant patient and sometimes struggle with stairs. In short we would go again. This time we would rent the upper unit just so you don't have people walking on top of you - an older couple but could still hear every step. The unit was clean and the pontoon boat was old but ran fairly well. The manager, Chuck is a great asset - a very helpful guy. We felt we got our money's worth but wish that previous tennants had more respect for the property. Love the Irish Hills and plan to return.

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

THe previous guest had "destroyed" a screen and some other minor damage that Chuck was unable to repair prior to this guest checking in, all the needed repairs were done within an hour or so after checkin.

Family Fun at the Lake

June 14, 2012

Our recent family trip home to Michigan was an excellent one. This time instead of staying with family we decided to rent a cottage. Mike's cottage on Round Lake in Manitou Beach, MI was a great one. We stayed in the upper half of his bi-level lake front cottage. My boys ages 2 and 5 years had a blast fishing off the dock, swimming, and having there first bonfire. We had access to the paddle and row boats which my nephews and oldest son had so much fun using. We are already planning to rent Mike's place again next year, and this time will be considering renting the pontoon boat for the week too. The only reason I gave the place 4 stars was due to the garbage container and parking situation. Unfortunately the main garbage container began to smell by our fourth day and the smell could be smelt in not only our place but the next door neighbor lady said it was coming in through her windows too. So an earlier garbage pick up mid week would be beneficial especially on a busy week. The parking may be better to if spots were assigned. Twice in our 9 day stay we were blocked in by other renters who had multiple cars and boat trailers. This was quite aggravating when we had places to be. Other than that our stay was perfect. The cottage was clean, fully stocked with cooking utensils, plates, cups, coffee maker, microwave etc... The water view from the upper level was beautiful. And the hot water tank was awesome, not a cold shower all week.

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

Unforunately, this particular week the garbage dumpster was a major problem. I have never had this problem before, I don't know why it became an issue this week. I think someone not associated with my property illegally dumped something into the container. As for parking, sometimes parking can be an issue. I have space for about 13 cars for the 3 cottages if properly parked. Occassionally if people do not park "smartly", it lowers the amount of cars that can be parked.

Wonderful Time had by All

We loved our stay at Mike's lower unit rental on Round Lake. The accommodations were perfect for us and our dog, Jesse, had a better time than anyone. Mike was a perfect host, we felt right at home. Water was wonderful for swimming right off the dock. The neighbors were very nice. Everything we could have asked for. Thanks, Mike.

Wonderful Winter Retreat 2012

March 2, 2012

We stayed at the 3 bedroom ranch from November 2011 to March 2012. There was plenty of room and at the same time cozy. The large door window in the eating area allowed us to view a beautiful frozen, snowy lake.....gorgeous during typical Michigan winters. The home heat-wise was very comfortable The owner is a positive person who is great to work with and the maintenance man stays right on top of any questions we had..There were no problems at all. The home is well - maintained. We are blessed to have found such a nice house and great people to work with for our winter in Michigan. This place is highly recommended by us! :) It must be gorgeous in the spring and summer months! Enjoy!

Greatest short week ever

January 30, 2012

My husband and I just wanted an easy and relaxing vacation. Got it here - especially being able to bring our dog. He loved it and was great fun for all the area kids. Liked the bottom cottage so we could just walk out the door and be on the lake. A few issues with the stairs, but just because we are older. Loved it! Hope to go again this year at the end of August. GREAT PLACE to relax even with others in the other cottages - no problems with anyone. We all got along great.

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

Potential guests are frequently concerned about the other 2 cottages on the property. My property is larger than most, so there is plenty of privacy for everyone despite the lakefront being shared by the 3 cottages. Almost all guests who stay, state that they enjoyed having some other people on the property. Have owned the property for 6+ years, never have had a problem with guests having any issue with guests in other cottages.

summer getaway

September 2, 2011

Had a great week at the lake. My kids had a blast in the water and fishing off the dock.The water was clean and clear, without seaweed. Couldnt believe how many fish we caught. The sunrise every morning was beautiful. Took the boat out to the sandbar a few times and enjoyed that. Also the evening boat rides were really nice. We walked to the ice cream parlor which was just down the road. The accomadations couldnt have been better. We had a wonderful time, no complaints and would go back again.

Perfect setting for our needs. Close to the lake, not any sand to track into the house. Well equipped kitchen. Minor plumbing issues which the owner handled promptly.

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

The lake bottom at my shoreline is very shallow, with a hard sand bottom. The sand does stay in the lake. I have a local on call maintenance man who is "on call" should any issues pop up.

Great Owner and Location!

June 23, 2011

Just spent a long weekend at this adorable little cottage on Round Lake. The owner was wonderful and very accomodating. The lake was amazing and so clear that you could swim off the dock. It was not murky or full of seaweed which I hate. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone that wants a nice get away on the water. I personally liked the lower cottage where we stayed. There are also two other cottages located above this unit but I liked sitting on the porch and hearing the water two feet away from me.

fishing was good the roof over the patio could have used something to keep water from coming down when it rained but other than that things were great. had a great time

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

This review is from my lower cottage, there is a balcony over the patio which is not intended to be a roof, but it would be nice if the balcony kept the patio below dry during the rain.

Nice lake, great cottage

September 13, 2010

We had a wonderful time here. The lake was beautiful, the cottage was nice. Even though it was REALLY hot while we were there, the main bedroom had air and the rest of the cottage wasn't too bad with a couple of fans going. Overall, just an great place!

September 13, 2010

Family and I had a great time staying in the 1st floor cottage.It was great that we could bring our dog and not have to worry about him. The parking on the other hand needs to be mapped out better,once we spoke to the manager about where to park the parking issues were resolved. We do plan to come back next summer for another great stay...

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

I have since enlarged the parking area. Each cottage has "reserved" parking for up to 3 vehicles (back to back). There is room for an additional 2 cars roadside as well. Parking diagrams are in each cottage to reduce confusion.

Very nice view of the lake....

July 5, 2010

The accomodations were good but there was just a window unit for the air conditioner. Thank goodness it was cool in the evenings. Only issue was that you have to share the pier, paddle boat, and row boat with another cottage. Which we did not know but other than that everything was good.

Mike B.

Owner's reply:

At the time of this review, this particular cottage had just one window ac unit in the bedroom which kept only the bedroom cool. In June 2012 I added a 2nd ac unit in the kitchen that will help keep this cottage cooler. This cottage does get alot of sun, and is quite bright, on the hottest of summer days this cottage is likely not to be "cool" (although the main bedroom will be), but should be relatively comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What are the primary features of your property?
A:I great lakefront getaway for your family. Kids and adults alike love the swimming at my property. Round Lake is typically a warm lake. The lakefront at my property is a hard sand bottom. Ihave a large inflatable "floating island" which is perfect for the adults to relax on.
Q:Is there dock space for my boat, and a nearby boat launch for me to use?
A:Yes, there is a private boat lauch about 1/2 mile away. I have a large dock that can easily accomadate 4 boats. Plenty of space for your jet ski as well.
Q:Do all 3 cottages share the dock, waterfront, row boat, paddleboat, etc, does this cause any issues?
A:I have owned this property for 7 years, I was initially concerned about this myself when I first rented the property. To date, there has never been an issue regarding sharing these items. My property is fairly decent sized. Its somewhat ironic, those potential guests who were most concerned about this before staying, generally have commented after thier stay that the other guests at the property "made thier stay". If you are looking for a place to have fun and be on vacation, you will like it here. If you are a type of person who is never happy, you will likely not be happy here either. :)
