The Lake House – Your Four-Season Getaway on West Twin Lake

Welcome to The Lake House, a beautifully maintained and spacious 2,100 sq. ft. retreat located on the serene North Shore of West Twin Lake in Lewiston, Michigan. Nestled on a private 1.35-acre lot with 100 feet of lakefront, this home offers the perfect setting for making memories year-round—whether you're seeking summer adventure or a cozy winter escape.

Summer Bliss on the Lake

West Twin Lake is an all-sports lake with crystal-clear water, a sandy bottom, and a gentle slope that stays shallow (3–4 feet) for an extended distance—ideal for young swimmers and perfect for tubing, water skiing, or a relaxing paddle. Anglers will love fishing for walleye, pike, perch, bass, and sunfish right from the private dock, which includes tie-off anchors for your boat or jet skis.

Kayaks

Paddleboards

Paddle boat

Pontoon rentals are also available from a nearby marina.

Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from the North Shore, sip your morning coffee on the lakefront deck while listening to the loons, or gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stargazing.

Originally built in 1945, this home blends rustic character—featuring original knotty pine ceilings and log walls—with modern comforts thanks to a 1991 lakefront addition. The great room boasts cathedral ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping lake views.

Summer Cousin Time

Beautiful property for a family get together our grandchildren 18-5 years old. The kids enjoyed having a yard to play games in and not just sand. The shallowness of the lake was great for the young as well as teens. The house was exceptionally clean and supplied with all you need.

The pet accommodations were good, our dog really enjoyed the outside yard and playing by the water. It was very peaceful, just what we were looking for. The house had everything you could need to enjoy your stay. It is close to other areas if you want to take a day trip. The colors on the trees were beautiful. I imagine that the summer time would be a great time on the lake.

Summer Vacation

We had a great time at this lake house and reserved it for next summer before we checked out! We had 11 people and there was plenty of space for all of us. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need and was very clean. The owners were great to communicate with on any questions we had. We are looking forward to coming back next summer!

great option for Lewiston lake house

The house and property were great. What we liked the most: House was spacious, clean, and well stocked. We appreciated all of the extra beach towels. The lot was very deep and wide so plenty of room outside. Nice fire pit. Owner was easy to communicate with and helpful with the one issue we had. Nice beachfront and boat parking options. Nice to be able to borrow the kayaks and extra chairs. Well water tasted great. The only thing we didn't love was the pull out sofa as a sleeping space. It might be okay for kids though. Overall it was a great lake house.

Home Away From Home!!

I’m embarrassed of my handwriting after reading all of those nice messages in the guest book so I’ll type mine lol… we were so impressed w the accommodations and how comfy and clean this home is. Definitely agree w everyone that this feels like a home away from home. We just bought property in Lewiston and wanted to stay for a long weekend and check out the area more, and very happy with our new “neighbors” Would love to experience this lake house in the summer! Thank you so much!

Wonderful Fall location

Very nice place with everything you need for a nice stay on the lake. Firewood and some water toys included. The master bedroom is a wonderful location to wake up and enjoy the beautify view of the lake. Great beach for little ones because it is very shallow for a long distance out from shoreline (like a splash pool). Great communication from the owner.

A lakeside Treasure

We enjoyed the perfect up north getaway. The lake house was everything we'd hoped for and more. It was just as described had everything we would need from towels, linens, and space - the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and everything was clean and organized. The location is near a local grocery store(less than 10minutes) so very easy to make a run if you need anything at all. We had a bonfire every night, admired the stars, the songs from the loons,made smores, and used the grill. My husband played a round of golf at garland and we took a day trip to ocquenoc falls the rest of the time we just relaxed at our perfect lake house and enjoyed the views. It was our first time in Lewiston and it is just what up north is all about WE LOVED IT.

The house offer the perfect lake experience. We have a 9 and 11 year old. They loved using the two paddle boards, lily pad and paddle boat. The adults did too! Very shallow lake. Great for kids and beginner water-skiers. Thank you for an enjoyable week away.

WEST LAKE SUMMER FUN 2023

This VRBO was perfect for our family vacation. We had 6 children between the ages of 7 to 14 and they all had a blast. Lots of water toys for all of them. The Lake is very clean and does not get deep for a long way out. There is a sandy beach area where the kids can play. The cottage is set with a large front yard for outdoor games. The cottage has ample space so that 11 of us did not feel like we were running into each other. We used all of the beds including the couch pull outs. The kitchen is amply supplied with dishes, pots and pans, crock pot, silverware and a microwave. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it. The owners are right next door should you need anything and very nice.
