Photos and Description of the Eight Point Lake vacation cottage rental
Lodge, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6-8)

Weekend Retreat Specials!! Arrive as early as you would like on Friday and stay as late as you wish on Sunday - $ 300 plus tax. Holidays are excluded.

Pulling into the driveway of the newly 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

About The Owner

My wife and I bought this beautiful lot on Perch Lake four years ago after an extensive search, and it took two more years to find the right builder to transform Perch Lake Lodge from a dream into a reality.

We are Bill and Jeannie Beaushaw, and we are career educators, teaching in the same high school, and residing in Pearl River, Louisiana, located on the northshore of Lake Ponchartrain in St. Tammany Parish.

I taught social studies 33 years in the local high school, where my entire career was spent. In addition, I was the head girls basketball coach for 19 years, winning 64% of the games I coached and winning numerous state playoff games. My wife taught chemistry and biology for 11 years before obtaining her Masters degree in guidance and counseling, and she has been in that position for the last 20 years.

She was a successful soccer and volleyball coach for several years, before resigning those positions last year. Our son, Derek, is a 2002 graduate and was our valedictorian. In addition he was an all-state cross country runner, qualified and ran the 2 mile in the state outdoor meet as a sophomore, and was a two time all-district second baseman on the baseball team, which reached the state semi-finals his sophomore year.

As we have aged, the heat and humidity of Louisiana summers are harder to deal with. This is why we built the lodge. We wish to share this unique property until we can enjoy it ouselves. We hope you will feel as refreshed and renewed as we did when we left in early July.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2010
Why The Owner chose Eight Point Lake

Perch lake is located in the small town of Lake, but is within close proximity to many attractions and shopping. Many public golf courses are within a short drive.

What makes this cottage unique

Our property manager, a neighbor, is immediately accessible to address any concerns.

With more than 50,000 acres of state land and forest, Clare County offers the outdoor enthusiast a vast playground to enjoy nature at it's finest.

Snow Snake Golf Course - It´s beauty originates from the natural rolling terrain and tree-lined fairways carved out of a hardwood forest. When designed, special attention was given to retain natural hazards and foster undulating greens.

Eagle Glen Golf Course - Situated on 188 acres of rolling Northern Michigan terrain, Ray Hearn and Jerry Mathews of Matthews and Associates have created a little corner of Scotland right here in Central Michigan. Among the unique features of the course are bent grass tees, greens, natural wetlands, 70 bunkers and hundreds of mounds.

Perch Lake Lodge - Lake, MI

5 of 5
Submitted: April 10, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
I took my son and two of his friends to the Perch Lake Lodge for their senior year spring break 3/29 - 4/1. We really enjoyed the lodge and surrounding area. Everything was very clean and well organized, there was plenty of space for us and it was real comfortable, felt like home. View was perfect and even though it was cold and a little snowy we enjoyed our spring break there. We hiked to town a couple of times, it was small but had what we needed. Did not eat at Big Al's but it smelled good when we walked by. Overall a very enjoyable getaway within a couple hours of our home. Will talk my wife into going as she would love the Master bedroom area. Thanks for letting us stay!

I spent a weekend at this beautiful log home.Everything about it was perfect.The home is kept spotless.Some of the highlights were the gas fireplace,the very comfortable bed,the jetted tub, the very well thought out "Up North" decor of the interior and the very quiet location.The owners were easy to work with and you could tell they take great pride in keeping their home well maintained.This is one of those great fines that you really don't want to talk up to much.Because the next time you go and rent it.It will be taken.I would definitely rent this home again.Possibly in the summer, so I could enjoy the water and sitting out on the deck.

One word: Amazing!
When we arrived, we couldn't believe how lucky we were to be at such a beautiful place. We had a great time, taking advantage of how peaceful it was. We were sad to leave and before we left we were already talking about when we could come back again! I highly recommend this cabin and have been telling everyone I know about how great of a getaway it was! This was great experience from our initial email inquiries to the day we checked out!

My husband and I took our 2 kids (one is 6 the othe is 8) up to the lodge with us. We had so much fun swimming in the lake and fishing. One of the neighbors (all of which were very friendly and nice) let us use her peddle boat, it was a first for all of us, but it was so much fun! I really hope that we go back soon it was very peaceful and relaxing. Also, go into Claire, you have to try out Hogs and Dogs if you go. It is a cute little drive in with the best pulled pork that I have ever had. This cabin is so worth the money!
