You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5-Bedroom Pickerel Lakefront Getaway Sleeps 12 , Hot Tub • Game Room • Kayaks

Wake up to sunrise shimmering across Pickerel Lake from your own 65 feet of private waterfront. Step onto the upper deck with your morning coffee, or slip into the bubbling hot tub with panoramic lake views — the perfect way to start (or end) the day.

Inside, the spacious open-concept living area invites you to relax, reconnect, and unwind. There’s room for everyone to gather for movie nights, board games, or quiet moments by the window as the water glows at sunset. The game room keeps everyone entertained on rainy days, while two large decks make outdoor living easy.

Bring your sense of adventure — this home includes two kayaks, a pedal boat, and an electric motorboat for exploring the calm waters just steps from your door. You can also bring your own pontoon or wave runner; a personal dock and a nearby public boat launch make lake days effortless.

After a day on the water, grill dinner lakeside, light a fire in the fire pit, and enjoy stargazing from the comfort of the hot tub. Evenings here are peaceful, fun, and filled with memory-making moments.

With 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it ideal for families or groups looking for a blend of relaxation and recreation. Everything you need is here — from a fully equipped kitchen to linens, Wi-Fi, and entertainment options.

Though you’ll feel worlds away, you’re just a 15-minute drive to town for groceries, restaurants, and local attractions. Whether you’re here for a summer lake adventure or a cozy fall escape, Pickerel Lake is beautiful in every season.

Book your lakefront retreat today — weekends fill quickly and this view is unforgettable!

The house uses well water, which is safe to use, and there's also a water dispenser in the kitchen for your convenience.

For security, there are two outdoor cameras — one facing the driveway and one on the side of the house. And a camera in the garage. These cameras are never monitored during guest stays and are only reviewed in the event of an incident at the property. They are primarily in place to protect the home when it is unoccupied.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a hot tub or take in the view from a garden. This vacation home also features an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great place to getaway

We had a wonderful time at this house for Memorial Day weekend. Outside is wonderful. Loved the paddle boat and the kayaks, and the kids were able to catch so many fish off the pier. Great deck and hot tub also.

We were in town for my nephew’s wrestling tournament. While we didn’t get to hang out at the house much, the beds were comfortable and the hot tub was great for relaxing after a long day. We hope to come back when the weather is nicer to enjoy the lake.

Wonderful house on lake

My family came to town for my sons wedding. This house was the most wonderful place. We had very comfy beds, kitchen was so nice and big. Living room area was very nice also. We made lots of great memories. Its a very nice home. I wish it was a little warmer out cuz we would have totally enjoyed the outside and the lake. I will be coming back again. You wont be disappointed.

Very nice lake property.

This is a very nice lake home, and the host is awesome! We were called to the area for a family funeral, not the greatest circumstances. While there, the host did everything in her power to make the stay pleasant. We are extremely grateful, it made the whole experience much easier! There were a couple of small issues, but the host/owner were quick to handle things. Great people to work with. Hopefully we'll be able to return under better family conditions.

Accurate and clean

The listing was accurate. The home was clean. The host was easy to communicate with. It was a very quite neighborhood. Even over the holiday weekend!! It's a good size for a multi-generational family. The kitchen was stocked better than other rental kitchens. My only complaint is the lack of "swimmability" in the lake. The bottom is very soft, and there are a lot of lily pads near the shore. We didn't feel comfortable swimming in that area, due to the amount of possible snakes that could be living among them. The only way out to the lake is through the lily pads, so unless you're on a boat, you can't access swimmable water. I know that there's not much to be done about this issue. I did speak with a neighbor that mentioned that this end of the lake gets the most lily pads each year and this year was worse than most. Maybe it's been better in past years and will be again in the future? So if you're looking for ease of swimming access, this one is not a good option. But if they can fix it, the remainder of the lake is pretty clean and nice to kayak on.

The house was great, plenty of room. The kids had a great time with the air hockey/pool table. Was a little disappointed with the lake, thought there was more sand for the kids to dig in. You couldn't walk right into the water to play, bottom was too soft and weedy. Fort Custer recreation area and Ramona Park were nice but we were looking for a property where we could walk right down to the water and play.

House was clean and accommodating. We enjoyed your kayak and paddle boat. Grilling out on the deck and jumping in the hot tub were nice in the evening. Ramona park beach was a highlight of our trip.
