Pontiac Lake Place-Less than 1 hr from Detroit! Open year round

Pontiac Lake Place
SLEEPS: 11
BEDROOMS: 4
BATHROOMS: 4
LAKE/WATERFRONT: Located directly on Pontiac Lake!
*Kayaks and floating water mat! (Memorial Day to Labor Day)

Entering this waterfront neighborhood filled with lakefront homes welcomes you with a feeling of peaceful luxury. Pulling into the driveway, while the neighbors are very close, you can often feel the breeze from the lakefront. The Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area is conveniently just across the lake. Stepping into this lake house, the openness pulls you toward the fresh, modern layout with the sleek, stylish furnishings. The contemporary look allows you to dream away while soaking in you time on Pontiac Lake.

The kitchen is large and inviting with plenty of counter space. The kitchen island doubles as both a prep and dining area for your casual meals. Watching the lake as you both cook and enjoy your meal together is a unique experience for most.

Nonetheless, thought has been put into how to capture a few minutes of work while your family vacations, or as you live the professional nomadic lifestyle with a designated work space.

At the end of the day, convenience is what captures a true vacation. The two (2) Master Bedrooms, one on the main floor and the other upstairs, both have en suite bathrooms. The other 2 bedrooms are also divided between the upper and main levels, along with the 2 additional bathrooms. Another unique quality of this lake house is ability to do laundry. While it's never required on vacation, if you packed light, need to dry a bathing suit or just want to return home with suitcases of clean clothes, we have you covered. There is a washer/dryer on both the main and the upper levels.

Don't forget to spend your time outdoors with the soft cushioned chairs while you enjoy the fire pit, outdoor dining and grill. Aaahh... those summer nights... After a restful nights sleep in the king bed, that morning sunrise may lure you to rise early. The sunrise is sure to put the icing on the memories you have created together at the Pontiac Lake Place.

Great Home
Overall, the home was great! The 1 morning the sun came out, the sunrise from bedroom was amazing. The downfall was the small yard and horrible weather. Bad storms all week so we did not get to enjoy the water much. Power flickered a lot, but luckily we didn’t lose power. Little nats were always in kitchen. Couldn’t figure it out why so many and where they were coming from. Again, house was great. Just the little things made it not so fun for the kids. Freshwater people were easy to work with and super accommodating.

The house was roomy and well laid out. All nine family members were comfortable. The lake and park were wonderful. The kayaks and beach towels were appreciated. The only drawback is the proximity to Oakland airport.

The house is very nice. Unfortunately the Air conditioner was broken over a holiday weekend, so multiple calls were made by freshwater but unable to resolve thruout our stay. They did what they could but definitely hampered our stay

We so enjoyed our stay at this lovely home on Pontiac Lake. There was plenty of space and the home was well stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, having a fire in the fire pit and kayaking on the beautiful lake. Would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent house!
This large house is very nice and has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms and beds are great. The showers were easily accessible and everything was updated. The outside area was very nice and would have been great place to sit outside except the weather did not cooperate . But the view from inside is beautiful also! We went to the Ford Museum and Greenfield Village which were about a 45 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay!
