Beautiful Setting for this Inspirational, Roomy Lakefront home! Looking for a getaway to provide peace, with plenty of play opportunities? Take the time to look through all our reviews and photos. NOW, picture YOURSELF in this setting.

You will love this 2,300+ square feet, two story, open layout home! It is situated facing south on an unshared 1/2 acre of land we call Turtle Point. You will have wonderful views of sunrise and sunsets! Lakefront on three sides, its many deep windows provide spectacular views in every direction, every season. Located directly on a 66 acre, natural, quiet, great fishing lake, Turtle Point is delightful, and we have our own private beach area.

While best suited for 6-8 people, Turtle Point Lodge sleeps up to 12, with three private bedrooms and two queen sleeper sofas in the two separate living areas. There are two bathrooms, one on each level. Sparkling new kitchen is well furnished. Dining table can seat ten, and in addition, there are two barstools at the counter, or, more informally, use the tray tables.

You can spend your time here all to yourselves. (A common comment in our guest book is, "WE NEVER LEFT!") Or get out and enjoy the local activities. In the heart of the Irish Hills recreation area, our friendly towns are no strangers to tourists. Brooklyn and Tecumseh in particular have quaint, specialty shops, farmers markets, antiques, wineries, (One is just a half mile down the road!) parades, festivals and summer fun. Hidden Lake Gardens with canopy walk is nearby, and Michigan International Speedway is only 3-4 miles away! This UNIQUE home and property are wonderful EVERY time of the year!!

The Fall season may be the most underestimated time of the year. The area colors beautifully! Walks, soaking in the sun, dips in the hot tub... these delightful days are perfect for yard games or kayaks. Moonlit nights give opportunity for hot dogs, s'mores and campfire gazing. You might want to think about celebrating a holiday or special occasion where you can gather a good-sized group at this large, lovely, very clean home! Turtle Point loves to host special events! Talk to us!

Winter is magical, watching the weather from the warmth and coziness of your home. You can sit back and watch it snow in comfort. Can you imagine sitting in the hot tub on the deck, directly under the stars? You can even be served in an igloo at a local winery.

Nite Lites at MIS is a spectacular show, fun for the family - a 6-mile Christmas drive-thru! This is available before Thanksgiving into the New Year. Make popcorn, watch a good movie (large selection of DVDs) or sports program, and/or play some family games - Bingo, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, Junga, Family Charades, etc.

There is no off-season to this beautiful property! Hot tub, campfire, leisure spaces anytime! Huge TVs, comfy seating and gas fireplace make the living area so homey, while the deep windows let you look out at the lake in comfort. The beautiful, new, full kitchen, again with lake view, provides a great place for cooking and eating. When searching for your dream vacation getaway, be sure you are comparing apples to apples! Read our 5-star reviews!

Please note: sorry, but for everyone’s peace of mind, we are not allowing pets, and no smoking is allowed in the house. Many perks not listed - like the natural gas grill on deck for all-season use, big 68" and 58" TVs, generator in case of power outage. Starter firewood provided for your campfire.

This home is great for the nature lover - beauty, peace, relaxation. Even with 12 people you can find a quiet spot! Old-fashioned screened-in sitting porch, a deck area to enjoy a cup of coffee on a quiet morning, beach, a special shaded alcove, upper deck, campfire, under a shade tree - you choose. You can fish right off the dock, great for kids and children at heart! Indoor and outdoor games, puzzles, books, DVDs. WiFi available for your entertainment or, for work needs if you must, with desk area.

One of our recent reviews: “Amazing Family Vacation at Turtlepoint Lodge!
Me, my husband and 5 kids choose a different vacation house to rent in Michigan each summer. This home is by far our favorite! The house, property, and lake blew us away the moment we walked in. The house is huge with many places to relax away from the group. It is immaculately clean and has everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The owners are very kind and helpful. We enjoyed our family time so much here, the kids are begging to stay here every summer from now on. We feel beyond blessed and will carry these memories forever. Thank you for everything!”

FYI NOTE: We have installed an air scrubber with ActivePure Technology in both zones of the heating/cooling ducts to create a cleaner, healthier living environment. Their ads say it kills over 99% of viruses, mold, and bacteria on surfaces as well as in the air!

(TURTLE POINT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING WITH US THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. HOWEVER, THIS PROPERTY WILLL BE UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AFTER JANUARY. CHUCK AND ANGELA PLAN TO CONTINUE USING VRBO TO RENT THIS WONDEFUL FACILITY. SO, IF YOU WANT TO BOOK IN 2027, YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE NEW LISTING, AS THIS ONE WILL EXPIRE AFTER NEW YEAR.)

We want to THANK each of our more than 250 guests who have visited Turtle Point over the past 5 years. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Gail, for Larry and Gail, Neil and Deb
