A Great Get Away Stay
This home is a prefect get away! The location of this property, right on Hess Lake, is simply unbeatable. It offers a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. The peaceful surroundings made it feel like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet it is just a short drive away from local shops in Newaygo. The panoramic views of the lake were nothing short of mesmerizing. Whether we were sipping our morning coffee on the spacious deck or enjoying a cozy evening around the camp fire, the scenery provided a constant backdrop of natural beauty. The sunsets were particularly unforgettable, casting a warm glow over the water that left us in awe. This home is a haven for those seeking ample space and comfort. There is a generous living area that allowed our group to spread out and relax. With multiple bedrooms and sleeping areas, everyone in our party had their own private space. All the beds are queen sized and cozy. The kids bedroom, with 4 queen sized beds, was a standout feature. It has everything for the kids to game and and entertain themselves for hours. I also appreciated the vanity in the master bedroom as it provided a separate area to get ready for the day. I would highly recommend this rental for a family looking to relax have fun on the lake!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Nutt

Host profile image
Rene' and I native to the West Michigan area and enjoy the all the wonderful seasons we have here. We are the proud parents of 3 boys who's schedules make it difficult to get to our "happy place", so hoping to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We love Hess Lake because it feels like up north, but is still close to everything. Great local stores are minutes away and Grand Rapids is only about 45 minutes away. The lake has two sandbars when we feel social and an on-lake restaurant if we didn't take anything out for dinner.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has both large spaces for groups to gather and smaller spaces for those that needs some space away. Whether your preference is sun or shade, you can always find both at the shore.

According to records, our property was originally called Dadd's Inn and it has been rumored that Al Capone would stay at Dadd's Inn
