This adorable cottage right on the 200 acre Clifford Lake is the perfect place to relax and unwind. It has everything you could want from a Michigan lake house. Wake up each morning and enjoy your coffee on the deck as you watch the sun rise. Or tuck into your chair around the bonfire as you make s’more after s’more—it is a vacation after all.

The deck is covered so you can enjoy some shade on the hotter days when you do not want to be in direct sunlight. Feel free to bring your boat and secure it to the dock for easy access. Or just enjoy swimming or floating off the dock. There is a swimming area immediatly in front of the house.

If you get hungry, walk down to the Historic Clifford Lake Inn and Restaurant where you can enjoy your meal on the large deck that overlooks Clifford Lake. A few miles away in Langston is the Country Cone if you are looking for great ice cream with a small town feel.

If you like to be active, the two mile loop of road that the house is on can be used for walking, biking and jogging. If you are looking for a longer bike ride, head five miles east into Stanton and park at the trailhead in town. The Fred Meijer Heartland trail stretches on for miles. There are three golf courses within a 15 minute drive (Glenkerry, Brookside, the Links at Bowen Lake).

Stanton (5miles) or Greenville (8miles) are the places to pick up any forgotten grocery items that you may need. Greenville has Meijer, Walmart, and ALDI's.

Some other helpful items about the house:
-If you are feeling adventurous, there is a stand up paddle board you can use
-The red adirondack chairs are kept in the shed along with firewood
-There is enough space in the driveway to park three cars.
-The house sleeps 8 people if there are two to a bed. Two bedrooms have queen beds, the loft has two full size beds.
-The dining room table has a built in leaf so it can expand to fit your party of 8. There are extra chairs in the closet under the stairs.
-There is a large crock pot if you want to plan meals
-There is an electric griddle with plenty of room for pancakes and bacon
-All the pots/pans/cooking utensils you should need are in the house.

    House was very nice. Host was very friendly and easy to talk to. The shore by the seawall though had pieces of glass that we had to watch out for.

    My husband and I stayed for 6 nights. Check in was easy, we had no issues. The owners were right next door which was helpful in the few instances we needed something. The houses are close together, but there wasnt much disturbance. The kitchen was nicely stocked, and there were plenty of towels and paper products. The house was hot when we first got there but after running the fans and bedroom air conditioners it cooled down nicely. The beds were decently comfortable and there were plenty of blankets. We loved the covered porch and hanging out watching the lake life. The lake wasnt very swimable but you could float and kayak no issues. There is a sand bar across the lake which was nice for swimming. The restaurant down the road was lovely. We had a great time there. We also got to see the plane take off! The sunsets are pretty and the lake easy to kayak. Overall we had a good stay, it was very relaxing.

    This property was a nice and quiet getaway for my family. The shallow waterfront was perfect for the kids and the house was equipped with everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

    The cottage is on a good spot on the lake, with the covered porch being the best feature. You will sit for hours watching the activity on the lake. There is no boat, so bring your own if you want to get out on the water. Well equipped and decorated cottage, with comfortable beds.

    Very cute, very clean lake house! We enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch reading and listening to music. Enjoyed fishing off the dock and riding our bikes around the neighborhood. House is within walking distance of a great restaurant on the lake- The Clifford Lake Inn. We would highly recommend Driftwood Cottage!
