The house was spacious, modern, and clean, and the property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed grilling on the wrap-around deck with a view of the water, and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. The lake was shallow and clear--perfect for our kids jumping off the dock.

Great stay for family of 6

This home was very clean upon arrival. Stocked with everything that we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond. The location was very good for us having friends that live in Muskegon. Would certainly stay again in the future.

Paradise in Twin Lake

This place was fantastic. The pictures don’t do it justice. Secluded and quit on the lake but 30 minutes from Muskegon and Lake Michigan. Host was very responsive and we had everything we needed. The little private beach was nice for taking a dip and the dock and rowboat are a nice touch for fishermen. I caught a Northern Pike, some sunnies, and several bass. One was 3 lbs. Plenty of room for parking and enough room in the house and deck for a nice family reunion (within reason). Will stay again when visiting family in the area.

Wonderful, Tranquil and Comfortable

Great house, comfortably furnished from the couches to the beds. Wonderful view. The stairs to the lake made a trip to the gym unnecessary BUT worth it as my gym doesn't have the over all peaceful and beautiful view as this place does.

Property worked well for us!

The property was perfect for our group of 6 adults! Lots of room in the living room and downstairs common area. The kitchen was plenty big enough for all 6 of us to be cooking at once. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, bowls and cooking utensils. The owner was very responsive to answer some questions I had before we arrived. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Way Exceeded Expectations

My son and I spent the weekend there with my two labrador retrievers. The property is absolutely gorgeous. It sits overlooking a very tranquil and beautiful lake. We heard and saw birds constantly. There was no road, human, or motor noise at all. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed the lake. Our dogs enjoyed a swim,( it was too cold for us still this early in the year!) The house is extremely comfortable. You could easily have a much larger group here. Property manager was a delight to interact with. We would return in a heartbeat and hope to do so.

Very Sad

We booked this for a weekend wedding. The day of our check in my youngest brother died unexpectedly. I reached out to the owner for a full or partial refund and he said there was nothing he could do. I then reached out to VRBO for assistance and after some conversations they indicated that the owner was not willing to refund any of the money. Very upsetting that he could not find it in his heart to do the right thing

Duck Lake Nice Stay

This was a great stay for my family. The house was plenty big for the 5 of us. The lake was great for swimming. You do have to walk down like 40 stairs to get to the lake, but wort it. The best part i could take my large black lab there, we loved that the most.

Wonderful week away

We had such a great week. Everything that you could need was provided. We made a grocery run, cooked everything in the very well appointed kitchen and every night enjoyed a camp fire. The kids were in the lake everyday swimming and fishing.

Listing does not do this place justice

We were very impressed with this cottage, from the second we entered. Very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. And then there were the views of the lake. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and overall an awe...experience. Would love to return. Thank you for a great vacation.

Beautiful Lake House Getaway

The pictures didnt do this place justice. Tucked away in a private wooded neighborhood alongside a gorgeous little lake. The open concept home and breathtaking lake view made for a relaxing and comfortable stay. There's lots of room in this 3 story home with a walk out basement. It has a lot of steps, so if you may not enjoy it as much if you're not very mobile. I took the row boat out and caught some fish and enjoyed the wildlife. The sunsets are amazing from this property,

Lake house vacation

The lake house was a great choice for my family. The kids loved fishing off the dock, swimming, and rowing. My wife and I prized the tranquility and relaxing on the deck. It’s still close enough to Muskegon that it was easy to run in and out, and we appreciated the cleanliness and roominess for all of us!

"Snoopy Land" Adventures

We had the most amazing family vacation. The house was absolutely perfect to feel like everyone wasn't right on top of each other with some of the most picturesque views. The lake itself is extremely sandy and shallow for young children. There was everything we needed to have wonderful family meals every night. Add in the fact that Michigan Adventure is only about 15 minutes away and you have a perfect vacation for all of us! There are quite a few stairs to get down to the lake itself so if traveling with individuals who this would be an issue for would advise against but for us it was more than fine!

Peaceful

My family had a very peaceful time at this property. The lake is quiet, and we were able to relax the whole week. The house and decks are very comfortable. Everything was clean, and the host provided essentials such as hand soap and toilet paper. The views from the decks are exceptional! We saw and heard so many different types of birds. The week we stayed was particularly hot and muggy, so the air conditioning in the bedrooms was much appreciated! The only thing we want to mention to future renters is that there are quite a few stairs down to the lake and dock. The stairs are fairly steep. We were fine with them, but we wanted to mention them for people who may have difficulty with stairs. The host provided deck chairs, but if you want to sit down by the lake you have to carry the chairs down the stairs and then back up again at the end of your stay. It was definitely worth it, but again, may be difficult for some people. This property is quite beautiful, quiet, and serene. We were able to see a bald eagle on a few occasions too! Overall, a wonderful place to stay. Thank you!

Beautiful house in a great location

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property with plenty of space. Greg provided all the information well ahead of time and also was in touch with us through our stay. The pictures do not do justice to this property with beautiful views from the deck and balcony. Very comfortable beds and clean appointments. Highly recommend it.
