Good property for a family who likes lakeside recreation . Very well equipped for activities especially with the available pontoon boat. Close to large and smaller cities. Well maintained with minor exceptions.a little bit of everything. We have enjoyed renting it multiple times.

Perfect house for a relaxing family vacation with 7 adults! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The outdoor area by the lake was prettier than the photos. We appreciated all the little details inside and out. We were even greeted with homemade cookies on arrival. The only hiccup was the warm third floor but our host was quite responsive in addressing the issue, which we appreciated. We have stayed in many rentals and this one is at the top of our list!

Amazing house with gorgeous lake views. Both the inside and outside property were very spacious and accommodating for our family of 8 adults and two small children. We enjoyed the private dock and the accessible water activities, as well as all of the beautiful gathering spots that were available. We found all of the amenities in the listing to be very accurate. Our host was pleasant, easy to communicate with, and prompt with responses. This property exceeded our expectations.

Overall excellent place to stay! There were 6 adults and 3 kids with plenty of space and seating. The basement has its own living room and kitchen, and we turned the basement into the “kids zone.” The water was shallow, good for little kids. Not too far from downtown Rockford or Grand Rapids which was nice since we had some bad weather. The only thing I would say is that there are a lot of steps, so i would not recommend for people who cant do steps. Otherwise I would recommend and would definitely go back!

Perfect vacation

Julie's home is beautiful and has everything you could ever want in a vacation home. The kids were in the water most of the day, the shallow depth was perfect for them. As for the adults, we had so many places to relax - the deck, the beach, the fire pit, and the floating lounge chairs. Other than getting our groceries, we rarely left the property, we had such a great time. I highly recommend Julie's home!

Vacation home

It was a great location, Great Lake, lots to do in the water, Many kitchen utensils, etc. It was a large home that could hold 2 families comfortably. It was a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms, but discussed with Julie and she said she will look into ways to make it cooler on the 2nd floor.

The Lake House you’ve Always Wanted

We don’t own a Lake House, but if we did it would be just like this one! It had all the bells and whistles that you could possibly want. It was cleaned well before we arrived. It had beautiful views of the lake and even an option to rent a nice pontoon boat (which we did!). The kitchen is well stocked and all the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. Decor is updated and say “lake house”. Great location— you will love it!

Family reunion

We had a wonderful week at the lake. This is a large house with all the amenities and a great location on a beautiful lake. House has all the toys you need to enjoy the water as well as a beautiful home and property to gather and enjoy time together. With its close proximity to GRR airport this is a perfect gathering spot for friends and families from around the country to gather and spend a relaxing and fun time together. Julie is a wonderful host who is a text or call away to answer any questions or provide great recommendations or assistance.

Our Favorite Vacation Home!

Our family of 6 stayed here and absolutely loved it! Our kids 7, 7, 5 and 2 had a blast in the beach area playing with the toys that were at the house (definitely don't need to bring any from home). The water was shallow enough for our kids to walk to the end of the dock which made it perfect for them to play safely. We were also able to catch plenty of large mouth bass right from the dock as well! The house itself was beautiful. All of us agreed that it was the nicest home we've ever rented out and there was never a moment (even on a rainy day that kept us inside the whole time) that any of the kids said they were bored or wanted to go home - which was a first :)

4 generations

4 generations (88 years-2 months) gathered and completely enjoyed our week in this lovely home. We only left to go to the grocery store. Adults and children loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. Tubing, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, playing at the beach, roasting marshmallows, daily walks around the lake, evening pontoon cruises and nightly Scrabble games around the dining table made for very special memories. We did not turn on a TV even once!

Relaxing lake views and water fun

We absolutely LOVED this house! The deck and backyard setup is perfect for families with little ones, you can sit at the deck or down by the water and watch them play while you relax and soak up the sun. The water at the shore is also very shallow, which made for lots of fun for the kids. We had a 3, 4 and 5 year old that could play comfortably all the way out to the end of the dock! The floor plan is also great, lots of open spaces to hang out together without feeling crowded and on top of each other. Fishing at lake Bostwick was also really fun, my son caught a handful of fish out on the canoe and we even caught a nice large mouth bass from the shore. Julie did an amazing job setting up the house and left us wishing we could stay longer. Also, the neighbor to the right of the house (if you are looking out towards to water) was super friendly and helpful as we weren’t too familiar with the area. We would definitely stay again!

A NEW FAMILY FAVORITE!

My family and I have been renting different lake properties for our summer getaway for the past 5 years and so far this was our absolute favorite! All children in the family are under the age of 5 so a walk-in with a sandy beach was huge for us. The beach area was well maintained and was even beautifully raked upon our arrival. Also, the lake was shallow enough and very clean all the way out to the end of the dock. We had such a blast playing in the water with the kids, and it was even shallow enough where we could even just relax and watch from the shore. The house and property itself was also immaculate. We truly felt at home here and we wish we could have stayed longer! Julie was absolutely fantastic! The communication was great, she was always available and helpful with anything we might have needed. We actually left a pair of glasses and she even shipped them back for us. Truly such a sweet and wonderful woman. We would absolutely rent here again! If you are between a few properties, choose this one, you won’t regret it!

Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lakehouse! The place, inside and out, was immaculate. The main family room has a fabulous stone fireplace and a great view of the lake. The modern kitchen has everything you need, with plenty of counter space and cabinets. The master bedroom, with a nice king bed, also has a good view of the lake and a private balcony. We did not use the lower floor, but it is perfect for a couple who might want privacy. We spent most of our time outside. Many places to relax: a shady porch and dining table, a grouping of Adirondack chairs around a gas fire pit, and a small sandy beach area with lounge chairs. Paddleboards and kayaks were a bonus too. And there is a really nice boat at their dock that we rented for 3 days. Well worth it! The lake is clean and easy to negotiate and the Bostwick Inn, which you can boat to, walk to, or drive to, has good food and atmosphere. I can't say enough good things about this lake house. Julie, the owner, has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable.

Perfect Lakefront Getaway for an Unforgettable Family Vacation

We had the pleasure of staying at this lake house for a week and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The cleanliness of the house was impeccable, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Kids loved the fresh plate of cookies when we arrived. The spacious and cozy interior with its beautiful decor provided ample room for our family to relax and unwind. The large windows offered breathtaking lake views from almost every room, adding to the charm. The fully equipped kitchen and with spices, coffee and condiments made meal preparation a breeze. Our highlight of our stay was the lake itself. The private dock provided easy access, and we spent hours swimming, kayaking, boat rides around the lake, fishing, and enjoying the water. The provided water toys and games added to the fun. The owners' exceptional hospitality and prompt communication made the entire experience seamless. They truly cared about ensuring we had a memorable stay. They had everything we needed, including a crib, highchair and baby gate for our little one. In conclusion, our family had an amazing time at this lake house. The cleanliness, picturesque surroundings, and wonderful amenities exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this rental for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat where you can create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. We're already dreaming of our next visit. Thanks again for everything!!
