Walloon Lake, Michigan

Find Your Perfect Property in Walloon Lake, MI 

Your home away from home awaits in beautiful Walloon Lake. Famous for beautiful lakefront homes, the natural beauty offers peace and solitude for those looking for a second home to get away, a primary residence with small town lakefront living, or a vacation rental income property.  

This quaint Michigan town was home each summer to author Ernest Hemingway and his family. Summers spent at his family’s lakeside cottage inspired the backdrop to four of his works, while countless others called Northern Michigan home. The idyllic setting was where he and his newlywed bride shared their honeymoon. 

Step back in time to a place where the quaint shops, beautiful architecture, and delicious dining remind you of a bygone era full of charm. No matter the season, there’s always something beautiful happening around town.  

Life on the lake offers everything from boat rentals, wakeboarding, wake-surfing, water-skiing, pontoon boats, and fishing for the water enthusiast. Or, if you want, combine your love of water and architecture, rent a canoe and get a lakefront view of the unique and historic homes situated along the shores of Walloon Lake. 

Enjoy the outdoors but not in the mood to play on the lake? Head to the North Shore Nature Trails for a day of hiking. Or take a trip to one of the local wineries and sip something special while you relax. This wonderful community is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  

I also own and operate a great vacation rental home that is located just a short walk from the Village of Walloon!
