Peaceful & Private Lakefront House on Shelp Lake, hot tub is open year round

Enjoy true privacy and relaxation during your stay at our 4 bedroom 2 full bathroom house located on the shores of Shelp Lake in Delton, Michigan. Located on a quiet country road, we are the only house on the south side of the lake, which means you will be able to take full advantage of a quiet weekend get-away or family vacation without neighbors close by!

Inside the house, we provide a fully appointed kitchen so our guests can create their favorite meals in the comfort of our home. We also provide a dining area to enjoy your home-cooked meals or a game night! The large living room offers a breathtaking view of the lake, as well as plenty of comfortable seating and a smart TV so you can access your streaming accounts for a movie night or morning cartoons. With access to the top deck directly from the living room, you can open the slider doors and let in the fresh lake air and sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee and a book while overlooking the peaceful lake!

The main level offers the primary bedroom with a King bed and large closet space, as well as several windows with a nice view of the lake, and a sliding door that provides access to the top deck. The main level also offers a full bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination.
On the lower walkout level you will find the 3 additional bedrooms and second full bathroom. The first bedroom on the lower level offers a queen bed and large closet, the second bedroom offers a twin-over-full bunk bed, and the 3rd bedroom offers a queen bed. The full bathroom on the lower level has a shower/bathtub combination as well as a separate shower.
We also have a large recreation room on the lower level where you can enjoy a game of pool at our pool table.
Directly outside the lower walkout level we have a deck and a sparkling 6-person hot tub overlooking the lake for our guests to enjoy year-round! We also have a campfire area for guests who wish to enjoy time by the fire overlooking the lake.

Shelp Lake is an all-sports lake but best known for it's fishing! The lake is approximately 50 acres and 65 feet deep. It This lake is great to kayak too, there is so much wildlife to enjoy! We offer 4 kayaks for our guests to use to explore the lake. We also have a dock for guests who enjoy fishing from the dock. In the winter, Shelp Lake is a great spot for ice fishing or ice skating! For the ski/snowboard/snow tubing enthusiast, there are a few different ski hills just a small drive away as well!

Please note, the setting of this lake is best for guests who enjoy nature, kayaking, fishing, and being surrounded by wildlife. Due to the natural environment of the lake (i.e. lilypads) this lake is not ideal for guests who are looking for a place to swim or float. However, if you enjoy kayaking, fishing, wildlife, and ultimate relaxation in nature... this is the place for you! If you'd still love to enjoy our lakefront property but wish for a sandy beach/swimming area to enjoy, please reach out to us and we can recommend some great day-use beaches nearby!

For the convenience of our youngest guests, we provide a pack & play upon request for $25 per visit. Please note that the pack & play must be reserved ahead of time to ensure availability.

Please note: we have a motion-activated security camera installed on the front of the house facing the entryway and driveway.

Great place to stay!
We enjoyed everything about this property and everything was exactly as described! We saw all kinds of wildlife including about a dozen different types of birds. The property sits on a road that is walkable and scenic, and the home has great views of the lake, which is perfect for kayaking. Overall, an enjoyable vacation away from home!

Great house, poor dispute resolution
House/property is great. Only negative experience was that the only 2 BBQ gas tanks were empty. We discovered this when preparing a large late Saturday evening dinner. Unfortunately too late to wait for owner to supply a full tank. Cooking the large dinner inside was a major inconvenience. I would have liked the empty tank situation to have been addressed with other options besides waiting for delivery of a full tank.

Secluded stay
We enjoyed our stay with our family. There was room for everyone. The downstairs with the pool table and hot tub right outside the door was a hit. We wished there was more comfortable seating downstairs so everyone could be together.

This is a very peaceful house on the water. The hot tub was great to relax in when it was cold outside. It was great to have a fire too. We had a lot of fun there. My only complaint about the place is there is not enough seating at the table or downstairs.

Peaceful and private but not pristine
This stay was definitely peaceful and private and the view of the lake was stunning! The check-in process was straightforward and painless. We spent our mornings sitting and watching the nature surrounding us. We booked this rental because of the hot tub and fire pit, but we were unfortunately unable to use either. Upon turning on the hot tub jets, there was a frothy film on the water that didn't seem quite hygienic. The wood for the fire pit was damp and wouldn't light, so perhaps keeping some in a covered location on the property might be helpful for future stays. My wife has fairly significant dust allergies, and while the sinks and counters appeared very clean, the screens and some corners looked like they could benefit from a deep clean. The location provided easy access to great restaurants in Plainwell and Kalamazoo, and the pool table in the lower level provided great entertainment for us! FYI, this location has well water, so plan accordingly.

A special place
This is an amazing property. The lake and wild life make it fabulous for a peaceful get away. The house is tastefully decorated and very clean. The hosts make sure it’s stocked with all the basics needed to make it a home away from home. We stayed here in June with our entire family of 6 plus 1 and feel in love with the property. There was plenty of space and everyone’s sleeping quarters was cozy. My husband and I came back in September to celebrate our anniversary. It was just as cozy and romantic. I can’t wait to book it again.

Memorable Family Trip
My family and stayed here about two weeks ago. The house was wonderful for 3 couples and a child. We were very comfortable & had pretty much everything we needed. We loved the hot tub, use of the kayaks, grill, washer/dryer, fire pit, and pool table. The kitchen was well-stocked with serving plates, cups, silverware, bakeware, coffee pot & microwave. It was nice that we had Kcups and a coffee pot, although we had trouble with the Kcups brewing correctly. The bathrooms were nice and plenty of towels for all of us. The living room had a great view with a nice deck outside. Be prepared that none of the bedrooms have TVs, just the living room. The beds were pretty comfy as well. My only suggestion for the bedrooms is to have mirrors in them as there are only 2 bathrooms, so you can get ready in the bedroom. And towel hooks are needed for the bedrooms. The outside was really enjoyable but be prepared for some serious mosquitos! We loved the fire pit at night but we were eaten alive no matter how much bug spray and clothing we had on! Rent a boat on Pine Lake for the day - no boat launch on this lake. The 4 kayaks on the property were taken advantage of once we washed them out & cut back some of the growth around the dock. This house is the only one on this side of the lake with a very large yard. We had a surprise visitor of a field mouse one night - keep the doors closed! Plenty of wildlife around. We watched a family of deer from the hot tub. Great trip!
