Better than advertised!

This is one of the few places that actually looks as good or better than the photos. Super clean, comfortable and very well stocked with coffee and all the other cleaning needs, dishes, Bakeware etc. We stayed here with two families of 4 for a long holiday week and the place is great - nice beach area, conveniently located close to stores, restaurants, etc. We will be back!

Great Lake house

We had four adults and four kids stay in this cute house on the lake. The kids woke up every morning to fish and kayak all day. The younger two kids loved the sandy beach area and the adults enjoyed the outdoor kitchen area. Plenty of room on the dock for our 21 foot boat. Would definitely stay here again!

Great outdoor amenities

We enjoyed the home’s outdoor amenities so much - kayaking, sun deck by the lake, grilled and watched tv on the patio in comfy recliners. The fireplace was perfect for the cool nights. The inside is like new and super clean. It was just a short trip to Silver Lake for buggy riding on the dunes, shopping at Grand Haven and hiking at Hoffmaster State Park.

Great stay and host!

We had an incredible vacation staying at Thom's home! Thom was extremely responsive leading into the trip and during our stay, providing lots of local recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed and more. The cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in, new construction. Every detail is thought through, you don't need to travel with your house- it is all there. Great set up for families with kids, adults can keep a close eye on kiddos playing in the sand and shallow warm water. Highly recommend, thanks for a great vacation!

Great place to relax with the family

family needed a place to stay together for a wedding weekend. From the moment we walked in there was just a feeling of relaxation that affected us all. Plenty of room for our 7 plus all the bags. Amazing kitchen, dock, outdoor space. Close enough to shopping district to get food deliveries. Very evident that the property owner put a great deal of thought into making this home into a haven.

Excellent location

Thom's place was the perfect getaway for our group of 4! The house was spacious, bright and clean, and the beds very comfortable. The amenities at the house were outstanding,with plenty of seating and lounging area, including two firepits with provided gas and wood. The house is right on Mona Lake, and we were even able to rent a boat and go out to Lake Michigan for cruising and sunsets. Not only is the location on the lake excellent, but the house is minutes from groceries and restaurants. We had an awesome time and hope to rent Thom's place again!

Million dollar views and very clean!

Beautiful and very clean home...million dollar views...family enjoyed fishing, kayaking, firepit, back porch, birds, ducks, possible eagle, and the great grandchild (would visit for the day) loved the little beach making sand castles. Beds were comfortable...except for the pull out couch (would be sufficient for a small child). The family had an exceptional time making lots of memories!

Perfect up north getaway!

Thoms home was absolutely stunning and perfectly equipped with everything you need for a lake house stay. From perfectly soft (and amazing smelling) sheets, to kitchen cookware, to the kayaks and outdoor setting - this was the best lake house we’ve ever stayed at. Our kids enjoyed playing in the sand and lake in the backyard, and we were never far from an activity, such as the beautiful Pere Marquette beach, downtown Grand Haven, and of course Michigan Adventure! It’s clear that Thom poured a lot of love into this place, and we’re so grateful that he shared his home with us. We’ll definitely be back!
