Quiet multigenerational family retreat that feels like northern Michigan—yet is conveniently close to Chicago and Detroit

Looking for a place to truly rest? Eagle’s Wings is a peaceful, well-appointed lake house designed for multigenerational families who want to slow down, stay together, and enjoy classic Michigan lake life.

We intentionally host families (grandparents, parents, and kids) who value quiet mornings on the water, shared meals, and unhurried days.

The setting has the relaxed, wooded, northern-Michigan feel many people travel much farther to find, yet the property sits in southwest Michigan, making it an easy drive from both Chicago and Detroit.

The lake is all-sports capable but typically slow-paced, offering a calm, residential atmosphere rather than a busy resort vibe.

What Makes Eagle’s Wings Special
• Spectacular lake views from every floor
• Fully equipped so many families find they have everything they need right on the property
• Private indoor pickleball court—affectionately called the “Pickle Barn”
(Important note: The Pickle Barn has no heat or air conditioning. On very cold winter days it is unplayable; on hot summer days it can become uncomfortable. Guests who love the game still enjoy it on milder days.)
• Optional pontoon boat rental available through a trusted third-party broker (Vacation Boat Rental, Holland, MI—separate contract and fee)
Perfect for Families Year-Round

Summer
Swim, Paddle board, kayak, fish, or simply sit on the deck and watch the water. Nearby restaurants and attractions are available if you want them, but most of our guests discover they rarely need to leave.

Winter
Less than 15 minutes from two excellent ski areas:
• Bittersweet Ski Area – Strong ski school, gentle bunny hill, magic carpet, tow ropes, and beginner lifts ideal for young learners
• Timber Ridge – Skiing plus tubing for non-skiers

Extra Fun for the Kids
Camp Kidwell (4-H day camp) sits directly across the lake—a 2-minute drive or a short boat drop-off. Kids ages 4–16 can enjoy archery, swimming, canoeing, ropes courses, horseback riding, crafts, drama, and more. Overnight options are also available if you need extra sleeping space or a few kid-free evenings.

House Details & Capacity
The cottage is set up for families and is limited to a maximum of 8 adults. Sleeping arrangements work best for multigenerational groups.
