Lakefront Retreat | Hot Tub, Firepit, Kayaks, Dock & Spacious Outdoor Living

Wake to the shimmer of Round Lake, the soft rustle of the woods, and the call of loons across the water. Sip your morning coffee on the deck or wander to the boathouse.



Afternoons drift by with a quick swim or gentle glide across the still waters in our kayaks. Evenings bring grilled dinners, fireside stories, echoes of laughter, and a soak in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars.



Here, time slows and memories with family and friends grow deep.



Book your stay and reconnect at the lake!



★THE SPACE★



Mornings at Three Shores Retreat begin with the shimmer of Round Lake, the gentle rustle of woods, and golden light reflecting across the water. There’s something peaceful about sipping coffee on the deck as loons call in the distance — that slow rhythm that reminds you you’re somewhere special.



Inside, the living room instantly feels like home. Centered around a beautiful brick fireplace, it’s a place where time stretches — where you curl up with a blanket, listen to the stillness, and feel the world soften. The tongue-and-groove wood interior brings a cozy, timeless warmth that complements modern updates.



Stepping outside is all about connection — with nature, loved ones, and the moment. The multi-tiered deck and hot tub overlook the lake, creating a gathering spot for sunrise coffee or starlit evenings. A gentle slope leads to your private dock and boathouse, where kayaks and lounge chairs invite slow days spent drifting, swimming, or simply watching the ripples.



Round Lake is part of the Tri-Lakes system, connecting you to Lake Mecosta and Blue Lake, with Canadian Lakes just beyond. Together, they form a playground of winding channels, sandy coves, and open waters. Each day feels like a new adventure, balanced by a calm that lingers long after you leave.
