Other Things to Note:

Our family enjoyed our stay very much! Property was clean and welcoming. Beds and living space were comfortable and kitchen well stocked, even for our large group of 10 people. The kids loved playing in the spacious grass area of the yard. Property manager was great at communicating too. Wonderful trip for us!

The house was filthy and not well kept. Rodent droppings in the kitchen, ripped sheets, mold/mildew in vents and musty smell, doors off hinges, greasy substance on floor, fall leaves piled up against the house with swarms of mosquitos breeding in it (making the backyard unusable)….and the list goes on. Our family rented three houses for our Michigan stay and the others were top notch. Fortunately, we could vacate the house during the day and hang out at the other places. I wish I could post pictures in this review…it was gross

The house was big and clean, just as described. Great view of the lake, unfortunately it was too cold to take advantage of the water. Very comfortable. Highly recommend

The house was as advertised, very nice and comfortable and spacious. The outdoors, not so much. Grass was tall, all outdoor furniture dirty, kayaks dirty and full of water. Limbs down on the roof and everywhere and gutters full. Deck not as accessible as picture shows. It was down a long staircase which was littered with branches and chairs from porches had been taken down there and we were not able to retrieve. The outdoors was a selling point for me and we weren’t able to use it at all! I expect properties to be as advertised, as that is why I am booking and what I expect to be paying for.

The home is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the lake. The spacious open floor plan made our family vacation comfortable and gave us the room to hang out together. We really enjoyed staying there.

House was great! Open and modern floor plan, natural light, big couch and good seating, lots of pillows and blankets, well stocked with everything! Added enjoyment of bald eagles flying over the lake. Adam was responsive with communication. Rented this house for a soccer tournament in Feb (so didn’t really get to enjoy the lake or outdoor seating) and it was located right in the middle of the 3 field locations. Reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

My family and I had a great stay on Mona Lake. The property was exactly as described maybe even better. The property manager, Adam, was very helpful and easy to reach. I would definitely recommend this house for a relaxing family vacation.

The house is comfortable and decorated so nicely.
The owners have thought
Of virtually everything one might need while away from home.
I really appreciated fresh ground coffee, and a Keurig machine. Plus a wonderfully stocked kitchen to prepare anything you would like to
Make.
Thanks for a great stay and we will be back!

This home was so warm and comfortable. Everything was spotless and we had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. The scenery was beautiful and it was a close distance to a ton of places to eat and hang out!

My family had a wonderful stay in Norton Shores. The house is perfect for family of all ages and located near Muskegon and Grand Haven with so much to do. Adam, the property manager was very helpful and easily contacted with quick responses. We enjoyed many family bike rides through the neighborhood. The dock is down a hill with many steps but great overall. We recommend Lakeside Retreat for a great getaway!

The thing our family liked best about this property is the backyard that adjoins the lake. There were at least six bald eagles that were roosting in the trees and swooping down to catch fish in the water almost our entire stay. We could watch all this from the window--lots of fun!
We arrived in February and it would have been nice that the snow was cleared away from the sidewalks, that's why we downgraded cleanliness.
The master suite was beautiful with shower, jacuzzi tub and tons of storage space. The fireplace in the master bedroom was very nice and the room was very spacious. The rest of the house was fine for our son & his young family.
The property is nicely located for easy access to local hiking along Lake Michigan, which we took advantage of since there wasn't enough snow for winter activities. We also enjoyed a visit to a waterpark that was about 30 minutes away. The kids especially loved that.
We marked down for accuracy of listing in that it was unclear that this property was situated in a subdivision. We were under the assumption from the photos that it was in a secluded area. It turned out not to matter in the long run as we weren't outside much with the cold weather, and the view of the lake was great.

We very much enjoyed our stay, the house was beautiful, relaxing, and felt like home. The location of the property is awesome, in a quiet neighborhood and within 10-30 minutes of numerous things to do or places to go (grocery, ice-cream, frozen yogurt, pubs, restaurants, hiking trails, sand dunes, beaches, cideries, etc.). The view of the lake is beautiful and the amount of windows and natural light coming in is amazing. The property was very clean and the communication was prompt and very helpful. We recommend this property and will definitely be back!

Everything was absolutely wonderful during our stay. The house was clean and in the perfect location for everything we had planned in the Grand Haven/Muskegon area. We would definitely stay here again!

We (4 adults and 3 young children) just finished a great week at this nice home. The house was clean and comfortable. The lake setting was lovely. We spent lots of time on the patio near the house and on the deck closer to the lake. There was a level yard in-between where the kids could run around. Two kayaks were available for our use. While the sandy beach was good for launching boats, it wasn't so good for swimming, but there was a nice one minutes from the house. And of course, there are the dunes close by.
Adam was VERY responsive to our questions.
We'd be happy to return.

Beautiful Sunsets!!
The home is clean and updated. Check in process and communication was a breeze. The lake views and access were beyond expectations!! Loved our stay. If I ever make it back to Michigan in the future, I would stay here again.
