This property is amazing! The house was extremely clean, and the pontoon boat was wonderful! We loved the fans in all of the bedrooms, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The layout of the house is PERFECT for hanging out and having fun. The kitchen had everything we could ask for and the outdoor living space is lovely! The neighbors were friendly, and we felt VERY safe. We had the PERFECT weekend!!!

We got checked in fine, and the hosts were great with the pre check in process. Stayed one night and had a hellacious storm roll through early our first morning. Lost power, most of the town lost power. The pontoon saved the trip for us. We went out on the boat and spent the day on the water, the hosts were gracious enough to be in communication with us for throughout the outage, they brought battery powered lights, games, for the kids and after the 2nd day with no power we had mentioned a generator for the fridge because of the meat we had brought from home and all the sudden they showed up with a generator. Anything we asked for they were able to provide, we did miss out on the hot tub for a few days but given the heat the day was providing it was just fine. Our two kids had a great time fishing and swimming and just boating and reading. All in all the owners did as much as they possibly good and we thanked them repeatedly for their efforts. Anything they could do, they took time out of their day and did. We had a great trip even considering the poor situation we were all dealt.

We had such an amazing stay! The house was very clean, views were beautiful, and the hot tub and boat were great for our family. Having the boat on the property really made our trip. The hot tub is drained and refilled up before each guest arrives which is extremely nice. This was easily my family’s favorite vacation home we have booked. The hosts were also very responsive!

Ou Family enjoyed the cottage and the boat. We spent most days at a very large beach across from the cottage. It was perfect for the grandchildren.

Really enjoyed our 2 week stay in Pure Michigan. The cottage was just as described and fit our family perfectly. I must say having access to a pontoon sealed the deal on this VRBO. Thank you and hope to see you next year.

Property was exactly as pictured. Perfect spot for a family getaway woth our friends and family from Cjicago. Two families with 4 kids and the place was perfect. Good location on the lake and close to any stores (Meijer, sbux, etc). Very nice boat was a nice benefit also!

Loved our stay. Owners were very accommodating, house was perfect for teenagers and older family members who needed a main floor bedroom. House had all we needed to cook in, and location is great for going out. Pontoon was perfect for fun and relaxing. Highly recommend!

This was our second stay at this property. The location can’t be beat. The house is cozy, clean, well maintained and has anything you will need. The hosts are so friendly and helpful if any problem arises, however we had a perfect stay. The lake and pontoon are worth staying here alone, but you’ll love the house as well. We are already looking forward to our next stay here!

Everything was beautiful! The house, decor, layout, it all made for a wonderful weekend getaway with the family. We all enjoyed ourselves. The view of the lake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Communication was amazing! We will definitely be back!

This was the perfect place for 4 senior siblings to get together for a fairly quiet 4 day reunion, enjoy a peaceful setting on the lake and have recreational amenities close to the city. We would have enjoyed the lake, fire pit, boat, and hot tub if the weather had not turned very cold and rainy.
5.0
It was a very nice getaway for our family. Comfortable beds, kitchen that had everything we needed, gas grill, hot tub, fire pit and of course enjoyed the pontoon boat. Weather was wonderful - only thing missing was catching some big fish!😀

Had a great vacation with a house right on Mona Lake. Loved having access to the pontoon anytime we wanted. Short drive to get groceries or go out to eat.

A nice little cottage on Lake Mona. It has everything you might need for a home a away from home. The hosts graciously supplied all sundries that you may need for a week long stay (cleaners, laundry detergent, paper products). The house was tastefully decorated and the beds are comfortable. The best part of this rental is by far the lakefront access and the pontoon boat. Our family loves to fish so this was a perfect bonus. The rental is within 15 minutes of Pere Marquette beach which we loved. A must see is "The Deck" restaurant that features a new band each night at the beach. Overall a great place to stay.

House was very clean. The outside patio was indispensable for family meals for 5. The pontoon boat was in great shape and served us well for exploring the lake and finding swim spots. Lakeside location was terrific, although the neighborhood was a bit close together. We had terrific weather and the air conditioning helped during the heat of the day. Fire pit and hot tub are provided evening activities. Fun week!

Don't look any where else in the Muskegon, Norton Shores area! This was a beautiful home, easy to communicate with the host, (so thoughtful), very clean home, has all utensils, cleaning products and even spices for your use. They even had a high chair and pack n play for the baby. It's a beautiful home, no brainer when looking for a peaceful place on a lake!!

The best rental house find ever!!!! The location was perfect and having access to the boat made it even better. Between that, the hot tub, and fire pit we were kept busy the whole weekend. The communication from the host was excellent. We can’t wait to rent again!

This was a great spot for my family to enjoy a long awaited trip together. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated like a yacht. Spacious enough for 5 people to all have their own space and you can’t beat the beauty of boating on Mona Lake. Great for fishing right from the pier and enjoying s’mores when it cools off at night. Kim & Ed are very responsive to any issues and very kind!

The Lake House was perfect from start to finish. I am very particular for clean and it was extremely clean. The lake was beautiful and the boat made the weekend. Walking out and spending the days and evening on Mona Lake was just what our family needed. It was so peaceful. We can not say enough good about this place. The owners were great to respond and so accommodating. This place will not disappoint. We are looking forward to our next weekend at The Lake House.

Lovely property with plenty to do (the boat was a huge hit!). The backyard with the view of the lake was so relaxing. Everything was as advertised. Would definitely stay again!

Our family had such a beautiful time making memories at the “Boat House”! We were so lucky to have found the place and all the amenities it comes with. The boat, kayaks, paddle boards and the hot tub was an amazing part of the trip. Kim is great and always available if needed. Already looking at coming back next year.
Thanks for the great time!

Perfect!
The property manager, Kim, went above me beyond starting with a personal call before our stay to tell us a little about the property and to answer any questions. She was easy to communicate throughout our stay. The property was well decorated and perfect for our family of 7 with kids aged 6-20.

The Boathouse
There were 3 of us that stayed in the house. We were participating in the Michigan Adventure Race on Saturday. We fell in love with the house as soon as we opened the door! I had contacted the host about a possible early check-in and were given the thumbs up to check in whenever we liked. Again, the house was amazing! Plenty of room for all of us, and super clean! The hottub was a much welcomed bonus, especially after the race! I would highly recommend this property! It was easy to get to and located fairly close to shopping and restaurants. The host even contacted us and let us do a late checkout on Sunday which was great bc we were a little sore, and slow moving on Sunday morning!
