Property details

Located in Hale, Michigan, this 2-bed, 1-bath vacation rental cottage is a throwback to simpler times. You're encouraged to unplug and unwind here, with a nearby boat launch where you can bring your watercraft, a waterfront fire pit, and oversized picture windows that provide a gorgeous view of Long Lake — and the perfect reading spot.
