The house was perfect for our special occasion (my wifeâs 50th birthday), comfortably hosting us, 2 other couples, and a couple more family members.The back patio is large and furnished, making for a great hangout spot for chatting around a fire and playing cards at table.
House was conveniently located, very clean, and loved the backyard for the dogs. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Loved the stay and look forward to staying again!
Between having to clean up the yard and having to set up everything for the summer. Like, clean all the outside furniture. The grass and weeds were so out of control I couldn't let my kids play outside. The inside of the whole smelled musky, not clean and fresh like a rental should be. There was ONLY 2 rolls of toilet paper. One in eavh bathroom, which is fine for a night but not a whole week! I will NEVER use this company to rent from again.
This home was well equipped for a stay and there was plenty of room for multiple or large families. The house was clean on the inside but I donât think it had been opened for the year yet and needed some cleaning outside. The host was an excellent communicator and I appreciated the ability to ask questions and update them as the stay progressed. We will definitely stay again when we go back to the area.
This home was a lovely place for my family to stay for our summer vacation! There was plenty of rooms for the 12 of us to sleep and to live for the week. The back patio was a nice relaxing place to sit in the mornings and afternoons and the living room provided enough seating for everyone to sit and watch TV when it rained. The only thing that we had to do when we got there was sweep the steps going down to the lake as they were covered in tree debris and creeping vines. Other than that the property was a beautiful place for family to gather!
Beautiful home! Our stay was amazingly quiet and peaceful we enjoyed every second of our trip and thankful we experienced such great hospitality at your home, hope we will be able to book again some time in the future.
This property was great for our annual girls getaway. The house was immaculately clean with comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was very prompt in responding to my emails. We appreciated the upscale linens, but definitely needed more towels. I would highly recommend this property.
We stayed with 2 couples, one couple being older. The layout of the house was perfect. Beds were exactly how we like them. We opened the shades and had lake view our whole stay. The steps to the dock were a little too steep for half of usđ. Communication was the best we ever had. Location was central to everywhere we we wanted to go. ..Muskegan, Grand Rapids..Loved the neighborhood and all the squirrels. Very well stocked!!

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)âŠ.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 reviewâŠit 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 werenât 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.
This home is beautiful and clean in a wonderful location. The owners are great. Responded promptly to all communication. They have small toiletries available and coffee which is appreciated. Highly recommend.
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 didnât 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.
