About this property

Lake House & Ski Chalet. Quiet, all-sport lake with fun & relaxation year round!

Summer: Everything you could want to experience at the lake, all in one place! If you want to be active, take the kayaks out, go for a swim or get some exercise in on the paddle boat. If you prefer to relax a little more, try floating by the dock or better yet, just chill out on the patio. You can grill on the deck, play yard games, or board games, watch the fish, sunbathe, drink your morning coffee on the floating dock, even cast a line out and see what bites! We highly recommend sandcastle competitions, hammock naps, catching fire flies, and star gazing at the fire pit. Time to unwind. Winter Fun: 15 minutes to Bittersweet or Timber Ridge ski resorts. 5 miles away from Kal-Haven trail, a 33 mile trail between South Haven and Kalamazoo that interlinks to many other snowmobile approved State trails. Our house has many sleds, a ramp and a great sledding hill on the property. After playing in the snow, come inside to warm yourself by the wood burning fireplace. Or step out the door to relax and rejuvenate in the 6 person hot tub. We have more than enough room for a nice size gathering of family and friends.

House was great, lots of open space for our family to hang out, and it had everything you could ever need and then some! Didn't even need to use half of the items we packed because the house already provided so much. Lots of amenities, beach was very nice and very clean. Lake was perfect and our whole family kayaked and paddleboarded. Very peaceful looking out at the lake while sitting on the new deck! Thank you so much Alison!!

Perfect summer retreat

Alison's place was perfect for our friend group. Comfortable beds, plenty of space in common areas for hanging out indoors, and a fantastic kitchen set up for cooking meals. The real star is the outdoor areas - the deck was perfect for enjoying coffee in the morning, and the kayaks/paddle boards made it so easy to enjoy the lake. The option to rent the pontoon boat was a great perk as well. Muskrat Lake was a wonderful, quiet spot to get away and enjoy a beautiful summer weekend. We would love to return some day!The house does have some very steep steps, which might be an issue for those with more limited mobility.

Lake House with it all

We needed 5 bedrooms for a family vacation. We wanted to visit Lake Michigan which is only 35 minutes away. We loved every minute at this house on an 86 acre lake. The house was clean and stocked with about everything we could have needed from spices to sunscreen to a large assortment of games. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub, but fished off the dock, kayaked, and rented their pontoon boat. I honestly have not stayed at a vrbo with so much to offer. The new expanded deck facing the lake was wonderful! The host was quick to respond and very helpful/answered all our questions. I highly recommend a stay at this lake house!

Fun family vacation

I visited with my whole family from an 18month old grandson to my 88 year old mother. Plenty of room and activities for all! Many trips on the pontoon boat to relax and fish. Kayaking, games sandy beach and plenty of tools to build castles. Well stocked kitchen and table big enough for 10-12. Enjoyed everything about this place!

Perfect end of summer escape

The extended family spent the last weekend of our college aged kids' summer at this perfect lake house. There was plenty of room for everyone and our dog. The house was comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed both in the kitchen and to play on the lake. The lake was warm, perfect for swimming and quiet and. We spent nights playing games around the huge table or on the deck watching the stars. We could not have found a better house. re to

Perfect stay!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Gobles. Alison was a fantastic hostess- so flexible and easy to be in touch with if we needed anything. The house was lovely and big. The kitchen was super well stocked with any kitchen tool you would need as well as spices and condiments. We spent most of time on the big beautiful porch or outside by the fire pit. We took advantage of the stand up paddle boards and kayaks. My husband even caught 3 fish! We hope to vacation at this home again.

Family Vacation

The property was just like the pics. It had plenty of space for the whole family and a kitchen table that fit all 10 of us. We spent most of the time in the back yard, dock, or in the water. We had a great stay and the owner was patient with our questions and got back to us promptly.
