About this property

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 9 people in beds with 3 king size beds and 3 twin beds, all on a wide channel 1/3 mile long 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 (toothbrushes, toothpaste, shavers, etc), fishing gear if you fish, a boat if you have a boat or 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 the 4 beds, but a Roku TV, DVD Player, a couch, and a comfy chair.

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..

The washer and dryer are there for you to use as well as detergents and fabric softener that are supplied for you, so no need to ever visit a laundromat while staying here and you don't need to bring detergents. We also have everything like washcloths, body shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

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 also 2 paddle boards and 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.

We have a hot tub as well and it is available for an additional $50 per visit only because of the work involved and extra electric needed to heat it and we empty it between guests and refill it only for those looking to use it so this may not make as much sense in the summer months, but we can make it available to anyone year round. Just let us know at least a day in advance if you want to use it so we can have it ready for you.

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.

Great Place on the channel
It was a very nice area and being on the channel was great!!! And the owners and their daughter are very sweet people, forgot my IPAD and the host delivered the next day because he was coming through my area. Thanks again for that. I will definitely be back to stay here and a little bit longer so I can enjoy all the toys for the lake.

Amazing place. This is your low key destination.
My brother and I stayed here with our families (5 adults, 3 teenagers, 1 child, 1 dog and brought my boat). We had one incident and the property manager communicated quickly. This was a great place for all of us. It was SO relaxing! I use VRBO about once a year and we always end up with backaches due to the beds. The beds in this house were amazing! SO comfortable! (my sister-in-law liked the bedding so much that she looked it up online to purchase) This may be the only VRBO that I have stayed at that I would visit again.

Amazing place
John was amazing. Easy to reach for any questions and checked in with us several times during our stay. The home was great!! There were several extras that I just loved, like extra towel hooks for all of us in the bathroom. No looking for places to hang wet towels in your room. First time I have seen that and it was a big plus! We had plenty of life jackets to choose from so we all could be in the water at the same time if wanted. And the paddle boards and kayaks were perfect. Great place for the kids to stay safe too! We fed the ducks while there (they stayed at the neighbors). We also got a can of corn and fed the fish and had a few turtles come up. They liked like cut up hot dogs too!!! All the neighbors we talked to were super nice. Close to the stores if you needed to go grab something. We cooked at the house every night so I do not have a review on the restaurants. The beds were comfy. Plenty of pillows to choose from. There are dressers where you can put you clothes if wanted and hangers in the closets. The room with bunks was perfect for the kids. They were able to get away and have their own place to have fun. Plenty of towels for us all as well as toilet paper and paper towels. We would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by John Cremer

Host profile image
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 always 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 this summer and it was their first time getting to see it.

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

We have owned the other houses for a few years now and they both required extensive rebuilding and turned out great, and we love them and so do our guests. When we went through this home we fell in love with it as we wanted our next cottage to be more like our full time home and this house was even built the same year as our house so it felt like home from the beginning. We can't be there all the time so we want to make sure it is enjoyed.by guests that need a place to stay.

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, plenty of parking, and lots of space to entertain friends in the house and on the deck and obviously out on the big water which is not far 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!
