On Jose Lake with kayaks, dock and beach!

Charming 3 bedroom cottage on Jose Lake in South Branch, 9 miles from Hale and 1 mile from the Au Sable River. 78 feet of water frontage on 129 acre all sports Jose Lake. We have a small sandy beach, a dock and a fire pit on the property. Rental includes 2 kayaks. The third bedroom shares with laundry and entry, not really a bedroom in the sense of privacy but does have two twin size beds. Jose lake is an all sports lake with good fishing. The cabin located on the very quiet northern end of the lake (not where google map shows) at the corner of Cedar and Nicole. It is also 15 minutes from Largo Springs, Lumberman's Monument, and the sand bluff. Whether you are looking to fish off the dock, just lounge around and cook over the fire or explore the area on a hiking expedition, this place has all that you are looking for on your getaway. Come explore the hidden gem of South Branch Michigan and relax. The real world will be there when you return.

Nice!
Absolutely loved the covered back deck! It was a great place to eat and hang out. Cabin was comfortable, living room spacious and met our needs. Outside was quiet and lake was peaceful. A couple things that would enhance the guest experience would be a new shed where new outdoor furniture could be stored so it would be clean, a rack for storing kayaks so they would be clean and not full of water, and 20 hangers in each closet so guests can hang their coats and clothes. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Fishing Paradise
This was a great experience! The fishing was fantastic, the lake was beautiful, and the cabin was everything we hoped it would be. Took the paddle boat out and did some trolling around the lake. We had a blast! Thank you Tim and Nancy!

Great Property
This property is absolutely excellent. Beautiful area, excellent amenities in the home, and good environment. My only hesitation in recommending someone to book this property would be in hopes of keeping the dates open for myself. I loved it and hope I can return in the future.

We really enjoy the cabin we loved the kyaks and pontoon boat. This year was a bit stressful my best friend of 45 years passed away the day of this trip she is out of state but I was dealing with a lot of heavy grief hoping no one heard me crying or yelling that’s not common place for me ever but the circumstances were difficult this time. We always try to clean up good and leave good reviews it’s really nice and peaceful here one of my favorite places. Hoping I can get it for my birthday next year.
