We stayed at Dan's place with our family of 5 and another family of 4 for a little end of the school year get away. It was a nice easy trip in from the GR area and the place looks as nice as or better than the pictures. We loved the pontoon paddle boats, kayaks, and renting the motorized pontoon boat as well to relax and explore the rest of the lake. It was especially great to have these since the weather was less than perfect. There was a fire pit, grill, and a nice sandy beach which helped to enhance that beach vacation summer vibe and were all used thoroughly. Dan was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us where everything was and even took us around for an introductory spin on the pontoon boat. Despite some cool and rainy weather, we had a great time and would definitely recommend Dan's place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay at a lake cottage.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the lakefront cottage. The open concept main floor and outdoor deck was perfect for everyone to enjoy spending time together.

I spent a week at the end of August in this lake cottage. It exactly matches the pics and lake view is even better than the pics. Dan did a great job communicating and sharing info about local restaurants and attractions. My daughter enjoyed the peddle boat, playing in the sand, and swimming in the lake. My wife and I enjoyed the lake view throughout the day. The cottage can easily accommodate 8-10 people. I highly recommend it for families looking for a relaxing time by the water.

Everything was amazing! Quiet neighborhood. Beautiful clean lake, with lots things to do! The grandkids loved the paddle boats and the kayaks. The pontoon boat was easy to drive and we had such an incredible time! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. My grandson wanted to know when we can go back!

Great house on a fairly quiet lake. We loved having so many boating options available for use during our stay!

This is exactly what we were looking for. The weather didn’t cooperate but we got to enjoy indoor games and peaceful location.

Truly enjoyed our visit to Mr. T’s lakefront home. Home was very clean and had everything to make our stay cozy and easy. Fall weather, so unable to explore the lake, but enjoyed hiking at nearby Muskegon State Park. Will definitely visit again!

Owners were easy to communicate with. We had a nice relaxing trip

I spent 3 nights at this great property with my husband, mother , cousin and in-laws. The house was great and was stocked with everything we needed. We all enjoyed sitting outside in the deck during the day and outside around the campfire at night. The lake was so peaceful and the area was so quiet. The owner was wonderful and kept in contact with us. We had a minor issue with the refrigerator and he was able to get a repair man out quickly and he himself came by to check on us. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay at a great place on a small, peaceful lake.

We stayed with two small children, 4 adults and a baby. We had plenty of room and everyone really enjoyed their stay. Beds were comfortable, house was clean. The appliances were top notch and the kitchen was stocked with every Utencil or pan you could need. The view of the lake was great from the house. The hosts provided paddle boats, Life vests, some sand toys, and kayaks we were able to use. The weather wasn’t warm enough to swim the week we were there but the lake is so clear I would definitely enjoy it next time. The small island in the middle of the lake was fun to paddle to and explore. The walkable park had an ice cream shop we were able to enjoy before they closed the shop for the season. Manistee National Forest is a 15 minute drive and so beautiful. Dollar general was close and we were able to get anything we forgot or needed there. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and plan to come back next summer!

We had such a wonderful time at "Mr T's" house!!! The place was immaculate!!! Has everything you need to cook, bake and grill. (brand new Weber grill)! Well, you have to bring the food!!!! He replaced the queen bed in the master bedroom with the most comfy new king bed with mattress! Oh my it was so comfy. We loved taking our rides on the pontoon around the lake especially watching the sun go down!!We enjoyed the kayaks and the peddle boat, so fun to go to the island and back. Mr. T (Dan) is the nicest man you and is right there for you if you should have any questions or concerns.!!!!!! The neighbors are very friendly and even lent us their peddle boat so our family could go out together. (There is a weight limit) lol You won't be dissapointed at this vacation getaway!!! Dan is the best!!!!!!!

Dan was very accommodating and responsive! House was perfectly located close to many of Lake Michigan attractions!

We rented this place as a getaway for our family. We had 6 adults, 3 ‘big’ kids and a toddler stay at the house. It was absolutely perfect for our family!!! The weather was great! Accommodations were great! The owner was easy to get a hold of if we needed to. Would definitely recommend this place for families with children. The kids were out in the pedal boat and kayaks every day! They loved going over to the island. The neighbors were super friendly too! We honestly can’t say enough good about this place!!!

This lake house had plenty of room for our group of 4 during our 7 week stay for work in the local area. The house looked as presented in the descriptions & photos. We appreciated the 2 full bathrooms & full kitchen with plenty of eating & cooking needs for us to prepare daily home cooked meals. The house was stocked with plenty of bath towels, bed linens & toilet paper. We purchased our own drinking water in jugs from local grocery stores during our stay as suggested on the house instruction sheet, since the house has a softener that caused the water to have a slightly salty/sulfur taste. We were grateful for the full size washer & dryer and the room they were in to store our work attire. The large front windows in the living area allowed us a wonderful view of Twin Lake and sky views of sunrises, sunsets & early winter storms. Due to us being there in chilly October & early November, we were not able to enjoy the outdoor amenities this home had to offer such as a dock, pontoon, kayaks, outdoor fire pit & patio. Dan communicated regularly & kept us informed of him taking care of home upkeep needs that would be completed during our stay such as putting away lake equipment & winterizing needs. Dan had suggestions for additional parking when he realized our parking needs were more than he anticipated for this rental driveway. Dan offered to extend our stay, if needed and we gratefully accepted another day due to our work needs.

We had a nice time during our stay. Dan was very responsive to questions and checked in with us to make sure we were doing well. I would definitely recommend this vacation home to others.

Why we enjoyed our stay: 1) Location and neighborhood - lakefront property in leafy serene neighborhood. 2) House - clean, tastefully decorated, homelike atmosphere. 3) Property manager easy to get a hold off 4) Kitchen is fully functional and comes with cooking paraphernalias. Apparently previous renters also leave unusued ingredients, spices, coffee, filters etc. 4) Relaxing and peaceful - note: there was construction on the Monday and Tuesday were there. But is was not an issue for us. 5) There's things to do for different types of people. You can just watch TV , be online, chill on the deck, boat/kayak/paddle boat, fish, grill, explore etc.

The house is nice but showing some age. It was surface clean but needs a deep cleaning. The well water has a strong sulfur smell & Dan said you can't drink it. I spoke to Dan on the phone a couple of times as well as through email and text several times. He never mentioned that they were building a house about 5 feet from the master bedroom window. When we arrived Dan let us know that the neighbors on the left would be having a party on Sunday. There was a slab poured on the lot to the right of the house and Dan said that the people who owned it hadn't been working on the house so he didn't think it would be an issue but if they decided to start construction they were allowed to start at 7 am. Again in all of the conversations we had prior to this he had not mentioned that there was a house being built next door or that it was even a possibility. On Sunday the neighbors had their party and other than a couple of kids taking our stuff it was no problem at all. The neighbors were nice people and they mostly kept to themselves. They have several cats that use the sand box as a litter box so be prepared to clean it every day before the kids use it. The problem didn't start until Monday. We noticed a few people doing some construction work when we came home Monday afternoon. They started construction at 7 am sharp on Tuesday and the noise was deafening. For the rest of my vacation we woke up promptly at 7 am due to the sound of nail guns, reciprocating saws, men screaming to each other and a boom box blasting music. I like to sleep in on my vacation & relax next to the water with a good book or take a nap on the deck. That was not an option because the noise was unbearable. One day we decided to take the boat out on the lake and do some fishing to get away from all the noise, but the noise was just as loud in the middle of the lake! Obviously had we been told about the construction we would not have rented this house. Also, you are only allowed to use the central AC from 10 am to 10 pm and it doesn't go lower than 70 degrees which doesn't cool upstairs. The breeze was not enough to keep the upstairs cool so it was a too warm for most people. As if all that wasn't enough my son and I got swimmers itch from the lake and have been dealing with the most annoying itch I have ever felt since we got home. We didn't swim anywhere but the lake at the house so there is no possibility we got it somewhere else. Worst vacation ever!

What a great week we had! The house exceeded our expectations. Spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we could have needed and more. It was comfortable and homey, just the place to put up our feet and relax. Hope we can visit again in the future. The sandy beach is great for kids. Loved the large deck with all the seating it provided.

Property was clean, spacious, and had more amenities than we've ever had. Some of which were a 7 passenger pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle boat and two deck tables with more then enough chairs and life vests for all sizes. There were plenty of beds and all of them were comfortable. The views from the deck, dining room and front room were breathtaking. Our extended family of 7 all enjoyed the house, swimming on the beach and in the middle of the lake, from the included pontoon boat and our 5 yr old had a blast searching for sea shells. Our 10 year old spent a day with his grandfather at Michigan Adventures which was only a 25 minute drive away. The owner, Dan, was so helpful and accommodating with any questions or instructions we needed. He also gave us a few great tips on restaurants that we tried. The neighbors were also very friendly and helpful when needed. If more than 5 stars was a review option, this rental would surely qualify!

This Lake house accomadated 8 of us aged 1 to 77 very nicely. It had everything we needed. The children loved playing in the sand and water. We all enjoyed fishing off the dock. My husband caught a nice size bass. We also enjoyed bonfires at night. Nice getaway!

The property was well maintained and had everything you could need. The lake was perfect for the kids and there are a lot of great activities in the area.

Our family really enjoyed our week at this lakeside home. Besides the wonderful weather, the clean house, all the amenities that come with the house (washer/dryer, dishwasher,etc)we ALL LOVED it! We were greeted the first night by a bald eagle, that we could watch catch it's dinner. We looked forward every day to looking for turtles, ducks & trying to catch fish. Thank you again for the wonderful time, we look forward to seeing you next year!

We are originally from Michigan and rented this house to spend time with our Michigan family. The house was very clean and comfortable. The water was very warm, and our granddaughter spent hours in the lake every day. Our family enjoyed the lake: fishing, kayaking, riding the paddle boat and pontoon boat, and playing in the water. The house was large enough to not only sleep most of our family, but to entertain those who couldn't come for the night as well. It was also close to shopping and the Christian Music Festival in Muskegon. We plan to come back, hopefully soon!

Very nice home and location. Certain items in home are better than displayed in pictures (living room, laundry room, and pontoon). Other items such as the beach area could use some work to match the pictures on the site. Home is clean and neighbors are very friendly! The only bummer for us was not having wifi/tv for a day due to Comcast issues and being notified early in the week that we couldn't swim in the lake for 2 days of our vacation due to treatment for swimmer's itch. Comcast issue was clearly unavoidable - unclear if the lake treatment for swimmers itch was something pre-scheduled and not communicated to us or was something scheduled by DNR w/o any notification. Overall, a good experience..

The whole family enjoyed the vacation. The description was more than accurate. The home was very clean . The kids enjoyed the water sports., the fire pit, Michigan adventures . The night were cool with a wonderful breeze on the back deck. We would rent this property again. The owner was very helpful .
