Lakefront | Sauna, Kayaks, Fire Pit, & Huge Deck

Enjoy the comfort of a modern renovation in a classic summer lake resort association while being surrounded by nature and wildlife. Perfectly designed for year-round use, whether you find yourself roasting marshmallows by the fire, gazing at the stars, listening to the birds chirp, hearing the frogs croak at night or curled up inside watching the snow fall on a winter wonderland.

Your stay will be an unforgettable experience where you can reconnect with your significant other, family, kids or lifelong friends.

Located in Central Michigan, Round Lake Retreat sits in the middle of an iconic lake community adjacent to Round Lake, a part of the Canadian Lakes Chain, just outside of Mecosta, Michigan.
