Overview
This vacation home sits in Oxbow, a quiet lakefront neighborhood in White Lake near Auburn Hills, offering a peaceful escape on a private all-sports lake. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the property is designed for group getaways that value calm, natural surroundings over city bustle. A huge deck overlooks the water, making it an easy spot for coffee, quiet reflection, or evening gatherings.
Amenities & Recreation
The rental includes air conditioning, a full kitchen, cable TV, an ironing board, and an outdoor grill for casual meals on-site. Guests get free use of kayaks and a paddle boat, plus access to the private lake for canoeing, pontoon boating, water skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, parasailing, fishing, and diving. A private beach and bonfire area round out the outdoor offerings, and the property is pet-friendly, so pets can join water activities and lounge on the beach.
Pet & Family Friendly
This is a pet-friendly, kid-friendly property, welcoming both children and pets on the lake adventures and around the grounds. The spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom layout suits multi-generational trips or groups traveling together with animals in tow.
Location & Surroundings
The home is about 30 miles from downtown Detroit, giving access to Ford Field, Comerica Park, Little Caesars Arena, the Fox Theater, and the Detroit Opera House, as well as universities like the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Closer to home, guests can explore Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area, Proud Lake State Recreation Area, Waterford Oaks Waterpark, The Crofoot, and Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. Alpine Valley Ski Resort is a short drive away for winter sports, and both Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and Bishop International Airport are within roughly 45-46 km.
A Note on the Setting
As a genuine lake property, guests should expect natural conditions such as fluctuating lake levels, seasonal vegetation growth, and the presence of local wildlife. The listing recommends contacting the host with any questions about these natural features before booking.
Best for
This property is best suited for groups and families traveling with pets who want a quiet, nature-focused retreat rather than an urban hotel stay. The 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom layout, private lake access, free kayaks and paddle boat, and pet-friendly policy make it especially appealing for multi-family reunions or friend groups seeking outdoor recreation and privacy.
Travel tips
Since this is a private lake home outside the city, a car is recommended for reaching Detroit attractions roughly 30 miles away and for day trips to Pontiac Lake or Proud Lake State Recreation Areas. Plan travel between Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and Bishop International Airport, both around 45-46 km from the property, and note that lake conditions and wildlife are part of the natural setting, so check with the host beforehand if you have questions.
