Come enjoy Michigan at its finest on all sports and trophy fishing Murray Lake in our new million dollar home. Close to downtown Grand Rapids, MI, 30 minutes from the airport, and about an hour to Lake Michigan, this home is the perfect location for visitors or locals to just kick back and enjoy life.
We just finished renovating our home. Everything is new and up to date. The kitchen is fully-stocked and has all the features of a gourmet chef's dreams. Dishes, appliances, glasses are plenty and high end. In addition to the 8 seating dining table, there are more tables that can extend your seating. The fireplace has an original barn beam mantel and copper chimney. There are plenty of sitting/conversation areas throughout the home. And for the men and kids, there is a man cave with a large screen TV! Outdoors is a calming waterfall, large firepit, grassy lake side yard and beautiful clean sand....everything to make your stay perfect!
The home accommodates a maximum of 15 guests, whether visiting for the day or sleeping in the home. Our neighbors prefer no parties or larger groups than 15 people. We request that our guests respect this so we can continue to share our home with others on VRBO. Many communities have banned vacation rentals for this reason.
On a more positive note, we have a great dock for fishing and a swim raft on the edge of the drop off. There are paddle boards and kayaks at no additional charge. We do have a pontoon (and tube) available for rent, $1,400 for the week, plus gas.
If interested, we can put you in touch with either excellent catering companies or a personal chef, photographers, light maid service, baby sitters, life guards, or boat drivers. The lake is very clean and we have a fresh sandy beach steps from the home.
Nearby there are great bike paths, zip line, Lake Michigan beaches, Grand Rapids breweries, local farm produce and ice cream, and only 15 minutes to downtown Lowell, best ribs in Michigan or a quick 20 - 30 minutes to Grand Rapids.

The house and property were beautiful! There was plenty of space for our family including 7 adults and 2 children. Sue Anne was an amazing host! We will definitely book again.
We had a wonderful family getaway! Our family ranged from age 3 months to 87 years and was perfect for all of us. The home was beautiful and had everything need for a comfortable stay. Many great memories were made here.
We had an amazing week at Murray Lake. This house is perfect for large groups and impeccably clean. It has everything you could need and Sue Anne is a very responsive host. She went above and beyond to help ensure our stay was perfect.
A stunning home that is perfect for large family gatherings. We enjoyed the serenity and spaces for us all to hang out and enjoy the lake, reading, hiking and being together doing puzzles and playing board games. The kitchen is built so that 3 chefs can work together to prepare meals making for quick prep and easy clean up. The kayaks and paddle boards provided kept everyone busy and entertained. The host answered all questions quickly and promptly. A very comfortable and spacious home. Would not hesitate to stay again if we are in the area!
We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful property. We enjoyed the beach, the water toys, the big kitchen and the view overlooking the lake. Good times. Good memories.
I was at the house with my adult children and grandchildren 3 months- 10 years.
They loved the beach and the water!
The house is amazing and perfect for a large family!
Our hosts were awesome! They actually brought over extra beach items for my grandchildren❤️
This home is spacious and beautiful inside & out with everything you need to enjoy your family. Well equipped and comfortable. It is big enough for a large family to each have their own space. We enjoyed the well equipped large kitchen, 2 dining room tables and the open floor plan had plenty of seating. We had fun fishing off the dock, using the kayaks, paddle boards & playing in the sand. You will not be disappointed renting this home.
Our stay at Murray Lake was just what we were looking for. The house had more than enough room for our group of six adults, four teenagers and one child. The kids loved swimming and boating on the lake. The youngest enjoyed fishing and playing on the beach. Lots of outdoor games were available for everyone to enjoy. Sue Anne was so helpful and quickly answered any questions we had. The house was very clean and well stocked. Everyone agreed they’d like to return next year. Thank you for sharing your house with us Sue Anne.
We have been renting every summer for 12 years. This is the absolute BEST house ever… It has everything and the quality is fantastic. Very exquisite in all respects. Loved the lake, the house, the amenities, the very large and efficient kitchen…. Best ever…. Best bedding and multiple baths/showers. Must be professionally decorated with coordinating decor in every room… Lots of sitting areas, inside and out and all items in excellent condition. We all loved it and just couldn’t find anything wrong.. Highly recommended if you want to live like a queen or king….
The home is beautiful. It is impeccably clean, neat and organized. We had great communication with the owner who has provided for all of anyones needs.
The space fit our family of 14 very well.
Eight adults and 6 children from infant to 8yrs.
The beach and swim are was perfect for this group. The kitchen was huge. I can’t think of one thing we would have changed.
We go somewhere as a family every year for a couple of nights as a summer family get together. This was the best one so far!
Thanks to Sue Anne & her staff for making it an enjoyable stay for all of us!
The home was equipped with absolutely everything you could possible think of. Sue, our host went above and beyond to ensure me and my group of 11 friends had everything we needed. We had 5 couples in the group and everyone was very comfortable. We didn’t even use all the spaces in the home because it’s so spacious. The kitchen is amazing. Having 3 sinks, 2 dishwashers, 3 ovens made meal times a breeze. There were a couple of mishaps but Sue was very responsive. We had a day of golf at Arrowhead which was 5 minutes away from the house. We also visited the Painted Turtle -cider bar with barn animals and kitties! which was the only thing opened on Memorial Day (also 5 minutes away). Grand Rapids is only 30 minutes away, we ordered food one of the nights from Hop Cat. Grocery store is 15 minutes away. Great location, great house, the most quiet and clean lake we’ve been to, we’ll definitely come back.
The house absolutely met all of our needs (9 adults and 4 children). It was extremely well-equipped, and furnished beautifully. The owner, Sue Anne, was quickly responsive when questions arose.
This home is beautiful and well stocked for a multi family vacation, the Sandy beach was a big hit with the kids, rented a pontoon midweek and the lake was not busy, we had beautiful weather and a fantastic experience!
What a wonderful experience. You couldn't ask for more, accommodations large enough for our large family. The grandchildren really enjoyed the beach area.
What a great experience! This house is top-of-the-line and I would recommend it for anyone. We will most definitely stay there again! Thanks for everything!
The house was perfect for 6 adults and 6 small children. It has everything you need (and more!) for a comfortable stay. Sue Anne was incredibly responsive and helpful. We had an amazing time!
This is the 5th year our group has stayed here and we continue to love the home. The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything you could need. Sue Anne is also very responsive.
