Gun lake 4 Bed 2.5 Bath Home w/2 car garage, kayaks, paddleboards, free Wi-Fi
Sprawling 2000 sq ft 4 bed 2.5 bath waterfront luxury ranch style home that sleeps up to 11 and all on a wide channel leading to famous all-sports 2680 acre Gun Lake, the largest inland lake in West Michigan. This Gun Lake neighborhood home is the perfect quiet vacation getaway and great place make memories!
All you need to bring are your food, clothing and personal items (toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver, etc), fishing gear if you fish, a boat if you have a boat or plan on renting one on the lake, and you're good to go!
Gun Lake is extremely popular for competition fishing, pleasure boating, skiing, tubing, and swimming off the small beach we have at the house in the extra wide channel or off a boat or at one of the public beaches on the lake. There is a large yard, private deck as well as a private dock to enjoy the quiet waterfront lifestyle relaxing on the deck or on the boardwalk watching the fish and ducks. If staying in the warm months, you can use the kayaks, paddleboards, or moor a boat at the dock as there are both cleats and bumpers ready for you in the extra wide channel.
The living room boasts cathedral ceilings and is spacious and opens up to the dining area/Kitchen. The kitchen features all new top of the line stainless steel appliances, solid surface countertops, breakfast bar with stools, and dining area. The kitchen is stocked with almost anything at your own home, from the waffle maker to the griddle for pancakes, to the coffee maker, to silverware and all the plates and cups and other utensils and such you would expect..
There are 3 bedrooms that have king size beds and also each have a dresser, night stand, lamp, flat screen smart TV's, new carpeting. closet and ceiling fan for relaxing on vacation. The 4th bedroom/family room is off the kitchen and features not just a bunk bed but also a twin size bed, and a queen size hide-a-bed couch and a Roku TV.
The large deck is great for relaxing in the shade as it is on the N side of the house away from the sun and even has a natural gas grill for making burgers or sizzling up some steaks or fish and enjoying the relaxing waterfront neighborhood atmosphere.
There is Charter Spectrum high speed Wi-Fi so you can watch streaming movies or TV shows or get work done while everyone is out on the lake in the warm months or while skiing or ice fishing in the winter.
For Spring/Summer/Fall guests there are 2 paddle boards, 2 one person kayaks and a 2 person canoe that are by the beach area awaiting captains! There is also a fire pit area great for cooking hot dogs and marshmallows.
For winter guests the ice is great for skating and ice fishing, just make sure it is solid and take all necessary precautions like wearing a provided life vest over your coat and don't ever do it alone just to ensure safety. For those planning to ski at one of the nearby ski resorts, just know that by car Bittersweet Ski Resort is only 22 miles or 28 minutes away, and Timber Ridge is only 26 miles or 34 minutes away. As long as the nights are below freezing these resorts make their own snow and usually are open and everyone has a great time.
Remember this is a grandfathered and registered short term rental in an area where unregistered properties are not allowed to be rented short term. As such there are rules associated with all short term rentals that must be followed at all times. Some of the primary ones are that there can be no barking dogs, so if you are bringing a dog, if it is known to bark make sure you use a shock collar and definitely in a cage if leaving alone. Also there cannot ever be more than three vehicles at the property at any time including inside the garage. There must also not be any trash showing outside of the bin that is provided. There’s also a strict 11 PM curfew for the entire lake including the campground so no outdoor talking or bonfires or that kind of thing after 11 PM. These are obviously simple rules to follow and there is a list of them as well but these are the most important.
The washer and dryer are there for you to use as well as detergent and fabric softener, so no need to ever visit a laundromat while staying here and you don't need to bring cleaning supplies. We also have everything like washcloths, body shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We also have a new Keurig machine which also has a regular coffee maker in it so if you plan to use the Keurig feature just bring the K cups with you :-)

We had our 2 sons and their families with us for a wonderful vacation. This house was very nice, clean, amd spacious. They had about everything you would need there. The bedrooms are very large and on the other end of the house which is nice with a large family sharing the house. Kitchen is large and outdoor area is very nice. Would definitely rent here again.

Hi Jacki, thank you for the review and congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary! It was great to have you and appreciate you being so considerate of all the neighbors and even bringing them cookies! You are definitely welcome back anytime!
Pre-communication was awesome we were able to check in a little early the first day. Everything was cleaned and well stocked including waffle maker which we used every day. All facilities were in great condition and the 4 bedrooms were all huge with plenty of space for everyone. Grill , deck & yard is where we spent most of our time and location was perfect. 2 minute drive for ice cream and a 11 minute walk to pizza & drinks!! We will be staying again!

What a wonderful place for our family vacation on Gun Lake! The house was beautiful and very well equipped with kayaks, paddle boards, a great deck and a dock. Our three generation family was very comfortable here.
Cozy place to stay with many bedrooms so everyone had their own space. Overall great and would stay again. My main critique is that the listing does not detail the hard 11 PM quiet time in the neighborhood. It was disappointing to get those details a few days before. We would have loved to enjoy the fire pit and the deck at night but what’s the point in starting a fire if you have to go inside in an hour or 2. That should be included in the initial information in my opinion. The house also has very hard water and the smell is so overwhelming for face washing and showering.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Oct 2025
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for the review and yes the 11 PM curfew is for the entire lake, not just the short term rentals. Even the campground has the same rules. Everyone is notified of this even when placing initial booking the list of rules is visible but not everybody reads them so that’s why we send them out again when we given the check-in instructions a few days before the visit.
Thanks for the heads up about the water, it appears the water softener ran out of salt so that has been replenished. You are welcome back anytime and glad you had a great vacation!
About the host
Hosted by John Cremer
My name is John Cremer and I'm a Realtor with Five Star Real Estate. My wife Sally and I met in college here in West Michigan. Sally is from West Lafayette, Indiana and I grew up in Colorado, Florida, Michigan and then primarily the Chicago area from ages 10-18. As kids, my family vacationed in Michigan, and my favorite memories are right here on Gun Lake. When we got married we settled down here in West Michigan and just love it here. We try to bring the best of vacationing in Michigan to life for guests. The photo above is my brother and sister and our dad as we all spent time at the house with our families.
We also own several other properties on the lake (VRBO Property #7497835 and 4479459) and have loved Gun Lake and all the memories we have made so far over the years. Sally and I have been married now for 26 years and have been blessed with 6 amazing kids who love to come to the lake. We reserve the dates we need each summer and allow others to enjoy the rest and we are excited to know that our guests at our houses are making great lasting memories. We look forward to hearing about your vacation and all the fun memories you made as well!
Why they chose this property
When we went through this home we fell in love with it but we can't be there all the time so we want to make sure it is enjoyed.by guests that are looking for a great vacation spot.
What makes this property unique
This house is basically all on one level on the main floor once inside. There are only two steps up to the front door or door in the family room/4th bedroom into the kitchen area. All hallways & entry doors as well as the sliders are 3 ft wide, and the main floor master suite has step-in shower. There is main floor laundry, huge driveway, and lots of space to relax inside and on the deck and obviously out on the open water which is only a short pontoon ride away. This channel is very quiet and there is not a lot of boat traffic or waves, and it is primarily owner occupant properties around. The lake is very fun and a great place to make memories!
