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, echos 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.

These connected lakes are perfect for boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming, with calm waters that welcome both adventure and relaxation.

## Other things to note

★**EVENTS & USAGE**★

We get frequent requests from guests to use our homes for weddings, family reunions, bachelor / bachelorette parties, camping, or other large gatherings. Many of these types of events are high-impact and can affect future guest stays, so we carefully manage them. 

If this is something you are looking for, please reach out to us prior to booking. Deposits, event fees, and other conditions may be required based on the event type, size and request. Should a booking be made prior to a mutual agreement on any additional requirements for the event, our standard cancelation policy will apply.

In the event your preferred dates are already taken, or you are traveling with a larger group, please view our other listings or reach out to us as we provide numerous rental options in the region. 

★**ADDITIONAL SERVICES**★

For an additional fee, we can provide concierge tailored services for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays or weddings. 

🔨 A handyman is available for minor to moderate repairs, 24/7/365. 
🔧 Professional services are available for major repairs, 24/7/365.
🧹 Cleaning services can be performed mid stay for guests who want a hotel experience for an additional cost.

★**PET-FRIENDLY HOME**★

We are a dog (only) friendly home, but maintain a few rules and regulations regarding this. All dogs must be controlled either through a physical leash or with verbal commands so that the dog returns to the owner when necessary. Dogs and owners should both respect the boundaries of the properties and the neighbors use and enjoyment of their own. Guests should ensure that there is no pet waste left in the yards, and all waste is bagged up and removed. Do not leave any animals in the home unattended or uncrated under any circumstance. The home is limited to two dogs, and there may be a fee for these dogs. Guests should thoroughly clean up any shedding or excess fur which may be left in the home so that our cleaning team has a normal turnover without excess or unscheduled work. While we do make every effort to ensure a perfectly clean home, small amounts of fur may be present in the air, settle on the floors or surfaces or may not have been reachable under furniture... an expected, but unfortunate byproduct of being pet friendly. 

★**NO SMOKING INSIDE**★

All of our homes are exclusively no-smoking, of any kind, inside the home. Cigarettes and marijuana are incredibly potent smells for non-users and can have a negative impact on future guests. Evidence of a guest smoking in the house, including the attestment of our cleaning team, will result in a cleaning fee of up to $500.00 to change furnace filters, ozone remediate the air, clean duct work, and clean hard and soft surfaces.

★**DISCLOSURES**★

Our homes feature many amenities which might be seasonally available or would be considered outdoor recreational items. We make every effort to ensure that these items are available for use and in good condition, but mother nature and our previous guests also play a roll in our ability to do so. Items like outdoor furniture, grills, kayaks, canoes, yard games, fire pits and patios are cared for by our team but are stored outside in the elements. There may be leaves, dirt or debris on these outdoor items, and some may have limited use depending on the season and weather patterns. Other items may have experienced use or abuse by previous guests and were not reported as damaged or broken to us, limiting our ability to repair or replace them. As with all short term rentals, our homes can experience wear and tear at an accelerated rate due to heavy use from our guests. We strive to keep our homes fresh and schedule repairs and maintenance as quickly as we can. You may experience new items at our homes that replaced items from our photos which may have been worn or damaged. 

The home is located in a natural setting. Guests may encounter native flora and fauna commonly found in the area, including but not limited to mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, bees, wasps, ants, poison ivy, poison oak, raccoons, squirrels, deer, snakes, birds, and other wildlife. While the property is regularly maintained, the presence of plants, insects, and animals cannot be completely prevented. Guests are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when enjoying outdoor areas, including using insect repellent, wearing appropriate footwear, supervising children and pets, and avoiding contact with unfamiliar plants or wildlife. By booking this home, guests acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with staying in a natural environment.

Exterior maintenance services, including but not limited to lawn care, landscaping, pest control, snow removal, and trash services are essential to maintaining the quality and function of the home and surrounding land. Many of these services are scheduled on a weekly or monthly basis and may require the service provider to alter their planned date and time to work within past, current, or future weather conditions. As such, services may be performed during a guests’ stay.

## The story

⭐️ 5 STAR HOSTS ⭐️

Forest & Flow Retreats focuses on unique homes and experiences so our guests can build memories for years to come. Over 15% of our bookings come from repeat guests, something we are very proud of. As you may have guessed from our name, we target natural properties with water or forest features that create a calm, peaceful and tranquil environment far removed from the hustle of day to day life.

We are avid outdoor enthusiasts and believe in protecting public lands through conservation efforts and the associated funds raised through hunting, fishing, and orv licenses.

We believe our homes and public lands should be a safe space for people from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, gender or ethnicity.

Each year, we donate a portion of our earnings to public land trusts and / or conservation efforts so that our waters and land can be protected for years to come.

We have hosted tens of thousands of guests over the years across our properties, helping family and friends have a memorable experience!

## Guest access

★**GUEST ACCESS**★

Our guests have full access and use of the entire home and surrounding land. If you are unsure where the property lines end, please ask and we can assist! The privacy and safety of our guests and neighbors is very important to us.

Access is provided through a remote digital keypad, controlled through our Ring security system. Parking is convenient and close to the home, we only ask that guests do not park or drive on the lawn. 

As a remotely located, rural home we manage travel times between our properties for turnovers between guests based on expected arrival times and the most efficient routes. Often, we can accommodate an earlier check in, just ask us in the days before your reservation and we will do our best to help!

## What guests say

**4.9 ★ · 46 reviews**

- ★★★★ "Beautiful place in a beautiful area! Hosts were helpful and responsible. They helped us get a pontoon rental and delivered it at the dock. Only things to mention were that the shed was locked and there was no spare that was nearby so we were unable to use floaties. The hot tub wasnt ready but the hosts were responsive and someone came to help with it once they were made aware ☺️" — Alissa P., Big Rapids, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★ "We had a great vacation on Round Lake! The area is beautiful and peaceful. The house was perfect for our family of 6, with two bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom on the main level. The private dock was such a highlight of our trip, with lots of fishing and swimming right off the dock. We enjoyed the two kayaks, paddleboard, and canoe as well! We enjoyed the hot tub every day, and found it to be clean and well maintained. They have beach towels and dog towels for you to use as well. Our only complaint was overall cleanliness of the home. Floors, baseboards, and light fixtures all need a good dus…" — Stephanie V., Benton Harbor, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026

- ★★★★★ "This was for a girls trip. The home was perfect for what we wanted. It was a nice quite place, had swimming and canoes and the big thing for us was the hot tub. When we first arrived we noticed the hot tub may need some tending too. We contacted the company and the were quick to respond and sent someone out to clean it for us. We had a great time of relaxation and friendship." — Laura B., LANSING, Michigan, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "Everything was great! Location was everything and the sunroom was great for all meals! Would stay again!! :)" — Kass C., Chatham, ON, Airbnb, Jun 2026

- ★★★★ "Nice little waterfront cottage. It was cozy and relaxing. Bring bug spray for nighttime as the mosquitoes swarm the backyard, especially around the hot tub. A skimmer would be very helpful for the owner to leave for guests to use!" — Catherine H., Green Cove Springs, Florida, Airbnb, Jun 2026
- ★★★★★ "The place was exactly what we wanted! The area is so quiet and serene and peaceful. The kayaks were such a bonus. We were able to kayak all 3 lakes!

- ★★★★★ "Great response" — Benjamin R., Grand Rapids, Michigan, Airbnb, Jun 2026
- ★★★★★ "Great weekend get away with my family! Host has been extremely responsive and helpful from the moment I booked! Outside is where all the fun is! Kid's and adults enjoyed the kayaks, played cornhole, and used the hot tub at night. Loved waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee on the back porch with an amazing lake view.

## About the area

★**LOCATION DESCRIPTION**★

**Round Lake & Tri-Lakes Region**

Nestled in the heart of Mecosta County, this peaceful region is home to the interconnected waters of Round, Lake Mecosta, and Blue Lake — collectively known as the Tri-Lakes. The area is cherished for its calm waters, wooded shorelines, and the kind of quiet beauty that defines Michigan lake life. From sunrise paddles to sunset bonfires, every day brings a new way to reconnect with nature and loved ones.

**Lake Access & Outdoor Recreation**
Guests can enjoy swimming, kayaking, fishing, and boating directly from the property, or venture through the connecting channels that link all three lakes. The surrounding landscape offers golf courses, trails, and scenic drives through the forest. Just a short drive away, the **Canadian Lakes resort community** offers additional amenities — including beaches, pools, and golf — available to guests for a small daily or weekly fee.

**Local Attractions & Small-Town Charm**
Nearby towns like Mecosta, Stanwood, and Big Rapids bring warmth and convenience to your stay. Discover local restaurants, breweries, farmers markets, and family-owned shops — or catch a concert or event at Ferris State University in Big Rapids. The area is equally inviting year-round, offering snowshoeing, ice fishing, and cozy winter escapes when the lakes freeze over.

**Relaxed & Family-Friendly Atmosphere**
The Tri-Lakes region captures the best of both worlds: laid-back lakefront living and easy access to recreation. Whether you’re seeking adventure, quiet reflection, or quality time with family, this destination blends comfort, connection, and the timeless rhythm of the water.
