Skull Island, Blackbeard's Hideaway! | Cabin in White Lake

Ahoy, matey! Welcome to Skull Island where your adventures begin and your memories are treasured. Your adventure begins right after you park your car in the gated parking area. You'll bring your belongings to the dock where you can load it into your boat or use ours. From the dock, the house will be in your view on the island just to the right. THERE IS NO WAY TO DRIVE TO THE ISLAND, IT CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY ROW BOAT, YOUR BOAT OR RENTED PONTOON BOAT. The home is unmistakable with pirate flags all around, painted black with cannons mounted to the side. You are about 100 yards or about a five minute row boat ride from your destination. The property is on a point of the island. This gives you 270 degree views, main view of Pontiac Lake, the beach and Gale Bay. It's great to have the sun on the front of the house and when to the rear of the house, you'll find shade under the large maple tree. In the evening you'll enjoy breathtaking sunsets. You'll have access to everything you need. On the Lake there is a Chinese Restaurant and a couple boat liveries. Pontiac Lake State Park has a host of things to do. Skull Island kid's camp is just on the other side of the island. Check them out on their web site or on Facebook. Water is the way of the pirate so let's address that. There is a row boat and paddle boat included with the house at no charge. We rent a 12 person pontoon for $199 per night or a larger pontoon can be rented from the local boat liveries for about $225 (some ask it be returned by 5:00 PM). Lounge around the lake or on the dock or deck all day and spend your evenings in Pontiac, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Clarkston, Detroit, Windsor (Canada) or other local hot spot of your choosing. Bring your fishing pole and catch Bass, Bluegill, Pike, Walleye and other game fish when in season. Barbecue outside or cook inside. Vacation in beautiful Oakland County while enjoying the cozy, yet upscale, Northern Michigan atmosphere of this home. Abundant wildlife in nature sanctuary type setting all around the property. The cottage has additional dock space for your own boat as well. On weekends you'll see the locals playing volleyball in the water. FAQ Can we drive our car to the house?

Matey!!!! ;-) 5/12/21 update, Michigan.org just put Pontiac Lake on its top 10 list. Pontiac Lake – Waterford Pontiac Lake sits surrounded by nearly 3,800 acres of natural area, making the Pontiac Lake Recreation Area feel worlds away from its metro Detroit location. A mix of pristine ponds and marshes, old farmsteads and thick hardwood forests surround Pontiac Lake, drawing the waterfowl that makes this area popular with duck hunters. The lake and its shoreline also offer opportunities to fish, fly radio-controlled planes and are crisscrossed by trails for horseback riding, mountain biking and cross-country skiing.
