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.

• 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.
