The Roost
Welcome to The Roost, a standout lakefront retreat on the shores of beautiful Hutchins Lake, where space, scenery, and nonstop fun come together for an unforgettable getawayâany season of the year.
Set on an impressive 120 feet of private frontage, this property offers direct access to a sandy-bottom, spring-fed, all-sports lake known for its clear water and gently sloping shoreline. The shallow water near the dock makes lake time especially enjoyable, whether that means wading in, swimming, fishing right off the dock, or putting in a canoe for a full day on the water. From sunny afternoons to dazzling holiday fireworks reflected on the lake, the views here are nothing short of special.
Outdoor living is a highlight. Multiple tiers of decking provide the perfect setup for soaking in the sunshine, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or gathering for conversation with panoramic water views. The backyard opens up to a patio with a picnic table, a fire pit surrounded by plenty of seating, and space for lawn games. An upper deck just off the main living area features outdoor dining and a gas grill connected directly to the homeâready whenever hunger strikes.
Inside, The Roost is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and ideal for large groups who want to spend time together while still having room to spread out. The open-concept great room is filled with natural light and framed by sweeping lake views, offering comfortable seating, a smart TV, and a seasonal fireplace. A large dining table seats up to 12, with additional seating at the snack bar, making meals together easy and memorable.
The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped and a favorite gathering place, with generous counter space, ample storage, and all the cookware and appliances needed for anything from quick breakfasts to full holiday feasts. Even clean-up is a pleasure thanks to the stunning lake views from the sink. Just off the kitchen, a sunny den provides a quiet nook for reading, relaxing, or getting a bit of work done. The daybed in the den is perfect for extra guests or afternoon naps.
The rest of the main level features three bedrooms, including a lakeside primary suite with a king bed, full water views, and a private ensuite bath. Two additional queen bedrooms and a convenient half bath complete this level.
Downstairs, the lower level adds even more living space and flexibility. A cozy family room with a smart TV, DVD player, and a large collection of movies is perfect for movie nights or rainy days. A game table and board games invite friendly competition, while the kitchenette area includes a sink, microwave, and a washer and dryer for added convenience. This level also offers three more bedroomsâincluding a private king bedroom with an additional twin daybed and trundle, plus a charming bunk room and connected queen bedroomâand a full bathroom. Walk directly out to the patio and yard, and from there straight to the lake and dock.
Beyond the property, the location is hard to beat. Hutchins Lake in Fennville places you minutes from local favorites like Fenn Valley Winery, Virtue Cider, Modales Winery, and Crane's orchards and restaurant. The vibrant towns of Saugatuck, Douglas, South Haven, and downtown Fennville are all within a short drive, offering beaches, shopping, dining, galleries, and entertainment.
From swimming and boating to fire pit nights, movie marathons, board games, and even a basketball hoop in the driveway, The Roost is designed for connection, comfort, and pure lakefront fun. This is the kind of place people return to again and againâand it's easy to see why.
