Relax at Perch Lake Lodge!
Pulling into the driveway of the carefully constructed Perch Lake Lodge, the visitor will be immediately impressed by the character and design of this log home. Stepping onto the front porch, you will be greeted by beautiful etched glass loon doors with sidelights. Loons on the lake will often be seen fishing, and will be heard at any hour making their distinctive loon calls. As you enter through the door, gleaming maple floors and the soaring cathedral ceiling of the great room present you with an inspirational welcome.
The modern kitchen is fully equipped to allow our guests to prepare the finest of meals. The highlight of the kitchen is the custom made knotty pine cabinets and countertops. Perhaps you would rather use the gas grill in front of the walkout, as you sit on the patio, with its spectacular view of Perch Lake. The patio has been designed with the comfort of the guest in mind, as you gather around the fire pit. Once your meal is ready, eat wherever your fancy chooses.......you may not want to leave the patio, so there is a glass table for your convenience or perhaps you may want to enjoy a soaring view of the lake from the deck....maybe you will choose to dine in the dining nook of the great room.
As the evening unwinds, spend some time curled up on the sofa, or relaxing in the oak rocker. You can watch TV, read, or just spend time conversing. This is a place to relax and leave your worries behind.
The master bedroom and bath are located in the rear of the main floor. The king sized bed has the same Park Place mattress used in Fairfield Inn by Marriott. Sleeping on this bed is a truly comfortable experience as you have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the cool night air entering though windows on two sides of the bed. Awake refreshed and ready to start your day in the spacious shower, which has an insertable seat, if you prefer, or maybe you will choose the oversized jetted tub.
A beautiful log staircase and railing lead to the privacy of the loft, with its own queen sized bed, and yes, it too has a Park Place mattress and a half bath. There is an exceptional view of the lake from the loft, through the character tree.
For additional sleeping and living space, the finished walkout is furnished with a sleeper sofa, TV, and small bathroom. In the rear corner of the walkout there is a game room equipped with a 72 inch, 4 in 1 game table. Guests can play air hockey, ping pong, or pool. The Pere Marquette Trail is about a mile from the lodge and is an ideal place for walking or bicycling, and snowmobiling in winter. Snowsnake Ski, golf, and zip line is only about 15 miles from the lodge. If you wish to fish on the lake, the property managers will advise you, and set up a possible boat rental. They live two doors down the street from the lodge and will help you with any concern or problem that may arise at the lodge. As our guests, you will never feel abandoned once the rental is made.
This is truly an outstanding property on a quiet and peaceful lake setting in rural mid-Michigan

This property was a nice place to stay. The property manager was great. The lodge was clean and tidy. The neighborhood was quiet and the lake was tranquil. This was the perfect place to unwind.
The Log cabin is absolutely beautiful! The cabin has everything you needed. The view is amazing. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was so quiet and peaceful thank you for sharing your cabin.
Not sure what summer is like but could not have been a better place to get away from it all in the fall. The area is nice. People were friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Very clean. Everything is made with logs. Bed was way to high for me as Im not tall. No fish in lake for me 😢 refrigerator works but something leaks onto the shelves. Very nice rental.
A beautiful quiet setting on the lake. The lodge is gorgeous with wooden beams and wooden structure throughout. Kitchen is well equipped, water pressure is good and water gets super hot. Hosts are quick to respond to questions and very helpful. We didn’t get to enjoy the outdoors much because the temperature was below zero for our entire stay! The beautiful snow covered lake was spectacular scenery out the big windows. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Clare and Farewell are close by with a range of stores and eating places. We got some delicious food at a beautiful Thai restaurant in Clare and also ate at a very friendly neighborhood restaurant called The Nest. Dollar General right next door of The Nest came in handy too. The cabin is in a very quiet neighborhood.
We really enjoyed our stay. Communication with owner and property manager was good. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. Very quiet and peaceful setting. The deck was a great spot to enjoy the evenings listening to the sounds of nature with beautiful views of the lake.
I couldn't be more happy with our stay. It was very relaxing. The pontoon boat was definitely worth renting. Hopefully we will be able to come back again sometime.
We had a wonderful time at Perch Lake Lodge! The cottage is beautiful and fit our needs. We brought our pontoon and enjoyed riding around the lake and fishing. We had lovely camp fires in the evening with beautiful sunsets and on the first night a nice fireworks show from neighbors across the lake. Definitely recommend and look forward to coming back.
Incredible view and communication with property owners make this stay a perfect weekend getaway. The lodge itself was clean, nicely spaced out for everyone to enjoy privacy or to come together for conversation on the deck overlooking the lake or the fire pit. The town is a few minutes away with an ice cream shop, hardware store and an outstanding grocery store with fresh cut meat available if you’re looking to grill/cook. Overall, I highly recommend this rental for a couples or family getaway.
As soon as we walked into the lodge we knew we were in for a wonderful weekend. The place was gorgeous and spotless! The couch and beds were super comfy. The fire pit was perfect and we enjoyed morning coffee on the wrap around porch. The lake was very quiet. Cell service and WiFi were great. We stayed here for CMU parents weekend and the location to Mount Pleasant was convenient. The basement space with a pull out couch was perfect for our daughter to come stay for a night. Jeannie and her house manager were easy to communicate with. Looking forward to a future stay.
Our stay was amazing. The cabin was so cozy and inviting, making it perfect for our relaxing getaway! We have already planned on going back every season.
This lovely cabin was just as pictured, except the views were even more stunning. All the amenities you need were included and the fireplace provided nice ambiance for our snowy visit.
