Calm Getaway

Renting the pontoon boat is highly recommended! There are not many restaurants in the area, so if you want to stay in the neighborhood, we recommend bringing groceries. The place is small and cozy. Helpful owners live next door.

Great place!

Very nice open home. A lot of family lives nearby, we hosted a couple of small gatherings, adults only. There was plenty of space and the openness of the house made for fun conversations. Kitchen was well-equipped. Bedroom and bathroom were also great, clean and large just two of us stayed overnight. We really could not have asked for a better place close to Muskegon.

Great Get Away

This cottage had all of the essentials and the ability to stay distanced and safe for health reasons. That made this cottage ideal. The bonus was how great the owners are and how many fun water toys they provided. They even went above and beyond to keep me from getting sick. I'm allergic to all perfumes so they needed to use unscented soaps on all the linens. They were wonderful and I didn't have any health issues. Beware. If you are like me and insects love you, be sure to bring your bug spray.

Everything was amazing

We loved everything about our stay at Twin Lake. The house was perfect for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable and our eldest chose to sleep on the comfy couch instead of a bed. We had everything we needed to cook meals. The two living spaces were nice for our 12 and 20 year olds to chill alone if they wanted. The lake was wonderful. We rented the boat which we used daily. We caught a variety of fish from the dock and the boat. We swam in the lake which is clean, warm, and very clear. We took the boat out each evening to watch the sunset which was beautiful. You could also watch it from the beach. We loved the area in general. Within a few minutes you can get the basics. Within 20 minutes you could get anything you needed.

Great family getaway.

This was our first week long vacation with the while family. 2 adults and 3 kids (5-12). Fantasic experience. Kids loved it, rented the pontoon, fished, swam, kayaked. Would recommend 10 out of 10.

Would stay again

My family and I had a great time at this property. The kids paddle board and kayaked around the island several times a day. We didn’t realize until the last day that just to the left with whites posts was where the park was and the kids could paddle their way to the park with ease. The house had clean linens and the kitchen had just about all we needed aside from food. My daughter left a bracelet she made for Jill by the journals. Thank you Russ!

Had Everything for the Family/Great Lake House Experience

The unit accommodated all of our family's needs. It had many amenities for the kids. There was a pedal boat, paddle board, multiple kayaks and oars, sand toys, fishing poles and some tackle supplies, and lifejackets for different members of the family. There was an optional pontoon boat rental which we opted for and enjoyed using. The kids found shells along its beach as well as the small island right in front of the property. They got out of the pontoon to play along the shallow water and beach at the island. We referenced the binder in the unit for the check-out process. It also contained a nicely organized list of local shops/food/activities. We went to Northside Pub for lunch and their pizza was great. We went to The Scoop for ice cream and the kids loved it. We spent one day at the Michigan's Adventure amusement park and it was a good time for the whole family and it was only about a 12 minute drive. Meijer and Walgreens and gas stations are all nearby. The owner, Russell, was friendly and helpful. He provided very timely responses and clear communication. My only complaint with the property was that the surfaces were dirty and dusty. I wiped up crumbs on the table/island/countertop. There was dust build up over other surfaces, including fans and headboards. Other than the sand we tracked in, the rest of the surfaces were left cleaner than how we found them. So if there is one thing that could be approved about the unit, it would be the cleaning process.

Great Lake House

It was just my husband and I for this trip but it works for kids as well. It's a wonderful little two-bedroom lake house with access to private beach area and boat dock. There are paddle boats and kayaks you can use while staying here. It was a wonderful little getaway.
