The Lake & Community - The Cottages at Martin Lake

We are the alternative to long term care facilities.

At Peace by the Lake

Martin Lake is a private, no-wake lake located in beautiful west Michigan just 4.7 miles from Fremont, in Newaygo County. In addition to boating and fishing, the lake area offers opportunities to watch bald eagles, deer, geese, sand cranes, blue heron and other wildlife, and to stroll nature paths. Whether enjoying nature directly or indirectly through our large windows, our beautiful setting offers an ever-changing scene of peace, beauty, and serenity for our residents
to enjoy every day.
