Campau Lake Sunshine Cottage with Tiki game house 4 King Beds

Existing description: Currently, as of 2/4/2026, our private hot tub is under maintenance. However, fear not! Guests can still enjoy our deluxe Michael Phelps swim spa placed in a serene location between this listing and our adjacent Sunnyday Cottage. For added solitude, the spa area features privacy nets.

For bookings from May 1st to September 30th, we recommend a minimum stay of 3 to 6 nights when booking any weekend night more than three months in advance, and a 2 to 3-night stay if you`re booking less than two months in advance. Single night stays can be accommodated, primarily during weekdays in peak season, and almost always during the off-peak season, although these are subject to approval.

Our property on Campau Lake is a haven of tranquility perfect for families or friends looking to unwind. Along with the hot swim pool spa, we provide opportunities for numerous fun activities like barbecuing on gas grills, indulging in yard games, fishing off the dock, and even partaking in a house escape challenge. All these amenities are placed strategically around the compound to maximize your enjoyment.

Indeed, the Sunnyday Cottage is much more than just a holiday stay – it`s an experience. In addition to exciting recreational offerings, you can take advantage of discounted services from DADDS Magic Bus and Limo, which will allow you to explore the lakefront and beyond. Key amenities include grills, fire pits, a fully-equipped game room featuring pool and foosball tables, as well as possible future additions such as extra living spaces and bedroom/bathroom expansions.

Our cottage, nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, offers a serene lakeside view with easy access to the lake for kayaking or beach volleyball. Moreover, we offer roundtrip shuttle services to Grand Rapids, MI downtown - for a minimal price.

In terms of food and drink, guests have the option to enjoy a free beer while shopping at the local Campau meat market, and a 15% discount at Mike`s Pizza. And don`t worry if your party increases in size during your stay. We operate under an open-door policy, meaning additional guests can be added at any time. Extra guests will be billed at $25 per night plus a one-time prep clean and linen fee.

We strive to provide a seamless guest experience, and our team is happy to assist you during your stay. We also offer transportation options through our limo services DADDS Magic Bus and Limo or free rides up to 10% of your nightly rate on Uber or Lyft. Details of this will be provided upon request. Pets are welcome, sanctions apply.

In a nutshell, our location at Campau Lake offers two beautiful lakes, a blissful school corner, a playground, and all the joy of lake life to ensure you keep coming back for more.
