Country cottage, Baseline Lake . Come fish, kayak or enjoy a camp fire. Relax and "unplug" in our cottage nestled on a wooded hill overlooking our access to a 187 acre rural lake; a great "home base" while exploring SW Michigan (Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan). Numerous golf courses, wineries, breweries nearby, featuring plenty of seasonal family activities. Two ski resorts within 15 min--Timber Ridge (with tubing runs) and Bittersweet.Newly added automatic generator in the case the power goes out!The cottage is in a rural setting with little light pollution; the stars, the lake, the woods are beautiful and serene. Closest town is five miles away with grocery, gas, entertainment, hiking/biking and dining options; and a rural convenience store is 1 - 1/2 miles away. Guests should expect to drive 20+ min to a major grocery chain and/or urban attractions or events. Cottage is very nearly center of Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Holland, St. Joseph and lake shore, so it offers a great "home base" for exploring Southwest Michigan.If you are visiting in summer please know that even though we spray for bugs and clean corners, etc. on a regular basis, the house is on a lake and in the woods, so it is very likely you will encounter bugs. Among those you will encounter are Mayflies. They do not bite or sting (have no mouth), are very abundant for short durations, and they are attracted to light. If a random bug inside bothers you, perhaps ours is not the cottage for you.Summer events in the area:South Haven Harborfest - June 14-15 (antique boat show June 15)South Haven Art fair - July 6-7Van Buren County Youth Fair - July 15-21South Haven Blueberry Festival/Craft Fair - Aug 8-11All Crafts Show - Aug 31 - Sept 1 Labor DayPaw Paw Wine Festival - Sept 6-8South Haven Jazz Festival - Sept 13-14Understand that "unplugged" in the description means there is no internet in the cottage.Access to the lake across single lane private dirt road, and over small lake front lot.
