The house is really, really nice, just as pictured. We visited in the winter so we could experience the Muskegon Luge and do some ice fishing. The kids loved the hot tub and the indoor fire places were really enjoyable.

We enjoyed the clean lake and beach toys every day, including fishing, kayaking and boating. Location is ideal to Michigan Adventure, Lewis Animsl Farm, Muskegon and other lakeshore cities.

Wonderful, relaxing vacation

We rent from VRBO every year, and I think this house was the cleanest we have been to! It was the perfect setting, right on the water with a Sandy beach. 10 of us fit comfortably. We spent most of the days playing in the water with the pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle boards, fished off the dock! Great week! So close to Michigan Adventure, we will be back!

Absolutely perfect

This house is amazing—has absolutely everything you need and the beach is everything you could want. We had kids from 2 to 10 in the house and they loved it all—the two year old could walk almost 20 feet out without concern as it’s very shallow. 10/10 and will for sure be back.

Family Getaway

The rental was very nice & clean. Supplied with everything we needed. Some negatives were that it was difficult to adjust the temperature & no shades on the lower level. The weather was terrible most of the week, so we were only able to use the pontoon boat a few times.

A lake of your own...

Great rental house for a quiet Summer holiday week. Perfectly clean, well equipped, plenty of room inside and outside. We really enjoyed the beautiful lake : boating (great pontoon boat rental) or just sitting on the deck and admiring the view. Swimming in the lake was so super that we didn’t even use the hot tube. Very respectful and quiet neighbourhood. Communication with Kathy went fluently and deposit was quickly refunded.

Family Retreat

From the moment we arrived it was like they had thought of everything!!! it was beautiful and the set up for 4 under 3 was great. We had a blast playing the sand and water with the kids. And at night enjoyed watching the stars and looking out at the lake from the hot tub. It was a great cabin , a great retreat, and much needed time by the lake. When there was any issues Kathy was very responsive and we had a phenomenal time. The place was so clean and every detail was thought of whether it was a rainy day or one that was bright and sunny fit for the beach.
