3rd time stay and still a gem
This is our third time staying at this property and this stay was just as good as each of the others. The house is spacious, comfortable, and stocked with everything we could need. We've stayed in both summer and winter and hvae enjoyed both. The property team has been responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Home on a Relaxing Lake
Pictures do not do this home justice, the house is magnificent with plenty of room inside and out. We had a wide range of ages in our group and between the lake, beach/yard toys and space inside…we always had something to do. I would definitely recommend this home to others looking to get away and enjoy a quiet peaceful vacation with friends and family.

Family Holiday at the Lake
We loved our stay at the house! We enjoy spending our holiday at Lake Keeler visiting family nearby. The house was clean and has ample room for our families and seven cousins! Beds are very comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen has everything a family would need during a vacation. Thank you so much for having us. We can’t wait to visit again!

Keeler Lake House
A wonderful property and home on Keeler Lake. The home had everything we needed to make life easier. We rented from Baby Quip and they were on time and efficient with items. Caught lots of fish, did some kayaking, paddle boarding and play time on the beach.Playing cards and games at night, cooking dinners and sitting by the campfire. South Haven is 35 minutes away so that was a fun beach day. We had dinner at Timberline Inn (reservations a must). The Walleye dinner was terrific. All the comforts of home here and a great way to spend it with family. Thanks for making our week so special.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Rios

Host profile image
Our dad built this house because he couldn't find a Lakehouse big and spacious enough for all his kids and grandkids to stay in together that was close enough to Chicagoland in order for family to go back and forth to work if needed! We now love sharing this gift with other families that have the same circumstances!

Why they chose this property

The lake is small and very peaceful- it is a true getaway from the hustle and bustle. Yet, close enough that you can get back to the big city if needed.

What makes this property unique

The design of the house- it was built for an extended family to stay together comfortably. Master suite on main floor for Grandparents, and 3 big bedrooms upstairs that can hold 3 families, and loft area for all the grandkids to sleep together! There isn't another lakehouse in SW MI that is modern, big, spacious, and huge flat back yard leading into a lake that comes close to this lakehouse!
