Walloon Lake Cottage for Rent
Reserve your stay at The Kelly Cottage on Walloon Lake, Michigan. When we learned that the Kelly family had owned and loved this cottage for many years, we couldn’t resist bringing the name back in honor of its history.
Nestled on the South Shore of beautiful Walloon Lake, right next door to our own cottage, and just 2 minutes from the Village of Walloon (or an easy kayak ride), The Kelly Cottage is the perfect place to experience all that Walloon and Norther Michigan has to offer.
