Big Red Lakefront Getaway & Golf Retreat at Canadian Lakes
Welcome to Big Red, your lakefront home-away-from-home located in the heart of the Canadian Lakes community—just an hour north of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This spacious, family-friendly retreat offers an open floor plan, a huge deck, and plenty of room for the entire family—and maybe a few friends too! Whether you're enjoying quiet mornings by the water or fun-filled days on the lake, this home has everything you need for a memorable stay.
Step out the back door and right onto your private sandy bottom beach and boat dock on a quiet no wake lake—perfect for swimming of all ages, boating, fishing or simply soaking up the sun. Want to get on the water? A 23ft pontoon boat is available for rent during your stay. You can even explore multiple connected all-sports lakes by boat without ever leaving the water!
Looking for a fun twist? Cruise up into a nearby cove by pontoon and pick up pizza, ice cream, or coffee—right off the shore! It’s a one-of-a-kind experience your whole crew will love.
What You'll Love:
• Open-concept living space with room to gather and relax
• Expansive deck overlooking the water—ideal for BBQs, sunsets & stargazing
• Private beach area + dock for easy lake access
• Dog-friendly! Bring your furry family members
• Less than a mile from grocery stores, restaurants, pizza, coffee shop and ice cream
• Pontoon boat available for an additional fee
• Sleeps up to 22 people.
Resort-Style Amenities (through Canadian Lakes Association):
• Winter Sports Park at The Canadian Lakes Castle: snow tubing, cross-country skiing, outdoor ice rink, and Christmas light show
• 5 golf courses within 5 miles – Tullymore, St.Ives, The Highlands, The Pines, and The Royal
• Pickleball, tennis, basketball & volleyball courts
• Indoor/outdoor pools, hot tub, sauna & fitness center
• Multiple beaches, parks & on-site restaurant
• Even a dog park for your pup to enjoy!
Whether you’re making memories on the water, hitting the golf course, ice fishing or warming up by the fire in winter, Big Red is your perfect year-round lake escape.
