Cass Lakefront 3BR home w fire pit, swim/fish and dock your boat off boardwalk.
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
This lakefront vacation home sits on Gerundegut Bay on Cass Lake in Auburn Hills, Michigan, closest to Dodge Park State Park #4. Cass Lake is a 1,280-acre all-sports inland lake, the largest of its kind in southeast Michigan, and the property has been welcoming guests through VRBO for 22 years with a consistent five-star track record. The home sits directly next door to a sister property, and guests renting both receive a discount.
Rooms
The house has three bedrooms, each fitted with a Smart HDTV, and sleeps up to 8 guests. Every bedroom in the neighboring sister property (which sleeps 7) is furnished with king beds, giving groups flexibility if booking both homes together.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, a washer, ironing board, cable TV, and a private balcony and patio. Outdoor recreation is a major draw: a swim dock with a ladder and swim noodles, a fire pit for bonfires, fishing poles for use right off the 240-foot boardwalk, and cleats for docking two boats directly in front of the home. Lawn games like bocce and bean bag toss are also available, and a pontoon boat rental can be arranged for delivery and pickup during a stay.
Location & Surroundings
The home is located on Cass Lake near Dodge Park State Park, with free summer concerts held on the lake in July. A farmers market runs nearby on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and a Saturday morning Cars and Coffee gathering is also close by.
Best for
This home is best suited to families or groups of up to 8 seeking a self-catered lake getaway, thanks to its full kitchen, three bedrooms with Smart TVs, and direct swim dock and boardwalk access. It's also ideal for boating and fishing enthusiasts, since the property offers private boat docking cleats, fishing poles, and optional pontoon rental. Groups traveling together in two households will benefit from the discounted rate when booking this home alongside its next-door sister property.
Travel tips
Bring or arrange a boat in advance if you plan to use the private dock cleats, since a pontoon rental can be delivered and picked up for the length of your stay. Time a visit for July to catch the free summer concerts on Cass Lake, and plan grocery runs around the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday farmers market nearby. Since this is a private home rather than a full-service hotel, pack essentials as you would for self-catered lodging.
