Heartland Haven: Hot Tub - Game Room - Basketball - Outdoor Kitchen - Arcades
Welcome to Heartland Haven! With 11 beds and 3 full baths there's plenty of space for everyone. Outdoor entertainment is the theme at Heartland Haven with HOT TUB, basketball court, outdoor kitchen, fire pit & lake views! If the weather isn't cooperating, don't fret, we have a covered back patio that allows you to enjoy the outdoors regardless of weather. We also have an arcade game, board games, foosball, smart TVs and plenty of cozy accommodations indoors!
As you arrive you'll be greeted by a beautiful white brick, new construction home with cedar stain accents and incredible curb appeal. Park you vehicles in the extra long driveway and enter the home through the front door.
As you walk into the spacious entry way you'll then be lead into the large open concept living/kitchen/dining! Your eyes will go up to take in the vaulted ceilings and custom stone fireplace. The living room has ample seating for everyone to enjoy great convo and relaxation or to watch the game, stream movies or shows on the large smart TV.
Open to the living is the modern kitchen that is fully stocked with everything you would need to create a delicious meal for the group. We've got a coffee bar with a drip coffee and Keurig so enjoy some cafe on us! Adjacent to the kitchen is the primary dining room with seating for 7 and french doors that open out to the veranda. Beside the primary dining is another table and 4 chairs for additional dining and don't forget the 4 barstools up at the kitchen island. So everyone has a seat!
Just off of the living room at the front of the house is the office which has a sliding barn door for privacy if you need to get some work done on vacation. There are 2 designated work spaces in the office so feel free to spread out if you need.
On the south side of the home you'll find 2 spacious bedrooms that share a full bathroom. The full bathroom has plenty of linens, a beautifully tiled tub/shower combo and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for you! Both bedrooms have Queen size beds with Smart TVs for streaming from the bedroom.
On the opposite side of the home on the north end you'll find the private master suite! The master suite has a cozy King size bed with a Smart TV for streaming from bed and a gorgeous en-suite full bathroom. The master bathroom has a breathtaking soaking tub, an oversized walk-in tiled shower and separate vanities. The large walk in closet is also nice for additional storage during your stay.
As you leave the master bedroom and pass the laundry and mud room, you'll go upstairs to find a game room and bunk room! The game room is loaded with toys for all ages including baby toys, foosball table and classic arcade. Just beyond the game room is the bunk room which has 8 twin beds and several bean bags to create a great kids hangout room. We've also got plenty of board games and a Smart TV for streaming if you're needing some indoor entertainment.
Don't forget the 2 car garage downstairs where you're welcome to bring your vehicles in from the elements if you'd like. We also have a fun putting game, a stationary bike and kids driveway toys!
Last but not least we have arguably the best part of the home and that is the back yard. In the backyard we have a built in stainless steel propane grill with storage and granite counter tops, comfy cushioned wicker furniture, brand new hot tub, wood burning stone fire pit (wood provided), basketball court, corn hole, and more!
At Heartland Haven you could never leave and yet never get bored! Come enjoy a relaxing getaway on Monkey Island!
Guests will have access to the entire home with the exception of 2 small storage closets. We also own the vacant lot to the south of the home so feel free to spread out if you'd like to throw some balls around or explore a bit.
We provide an initial stock of items such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, etc. However, if you plan to stay longer than a few days or have a large group, you will likely need to bring your own additional supplies.
We don’t live on site but we love hosting and want to ensure you’re comfortable and enjoying your time at our cabin. Reach out anytime with questions or needs!
Heartland Haven is located in the heart of Monkey Island and has easy access to all the island has to offer. We're less than a mile from The Quarterdeck Waterfront Cafe, there's a public boat ramp just a half mile down the road, and the Shangri La golf courses are just minutes down the road as well!
The entire island is connected with walking and golf cart paths. We don’t currently offer a golf cart but you can rent one on the island or if you have access to one feel free to bring it with you as you can get around the entire island via golf cart paths!

Michelle, it was a pleasure hosting you! Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and recommendation. We are so glad that you enjoyed our home.
We were very comfortable during our stay while visiting relatives on Grand Lake. The listing of amenities was accurate and still left us discovering even more comforts of Heartland Haven.

Thank you for the review, Daniel! It was a pleasure hosting you and we are so glad that you enjoyed our home and the lake. See you again soon!
This house is so inviting and there's plenty of space indoors and outdoors for everyone. The hot tub was great because it initially rained when we arrived. Close to ski boat and sea doo rentals.......our kids and their friends had a blast at Grand Lake! Also, the host Matt was super accommodating and let us arrive early and stay an hour later for check out. Would absolutely stay here again!!!!
There were 14 of us on this trip and it was a blast, we all fit comfortably, the hot tub and fire pit were great! And the home tucked away in a cozy area where it was fairly quiet! Would recommend!

We are so glad that you and your group enjoyed our home. It was a joy hosting yall. Thank you for the review!
Our family group enjoyed our short stay at this house. It provided plenty of room for our group of 12 to hang out and relax. We missed not having direct access to the water, but it wasn't too far to walk/drive to the water.

Thank you for your review! I’m delighted to hear that the house provided ample space for your group to relax and enjoy your stay. As you noted, we do mention that the property isn't directly on the lake, so I’m glad the proximity to the water was still convenient for you. If you have any other feedback or suggestions, I’d love to hear them. We hope to host you again in the future!
This is the perfect property to fit our family to get together. Very roomy. Layout is fantastic for a large gathering. Lots of extracurricular entertainment for kids.

Hi Cory! Thank you for the wonderful review. We are so thankful that you enjoyed the location and the amenities. It was a pleasure hosting y'all and look forward to see you again next time!
My friends and I pick a new spot to go to every year for our annual golf trip. We landed on Monkey Island this year and the property could not have been more perfect. A very short walk down to the lake and plenty of outdoor activities. The house was beautiful and set up to perfection to relax with some friends after a long day of golf. The owner was extremely helpful and super responsive. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough for your next golf trip!

Thank you so much for the recommendation, Jake. It was a pleasure hosting yall. So glad you were able to enjoy our home and the outdoor activities!
The house was beautiful, smelled nice and was a great place to stay. It was our first time to venture to grand lake so we weren’t sure where exactly to stay. This house met and exceeded our expectation. The owner contacted often, even offering an extra night at a discounted rate. We ended up having to leave before we were supposed to, so couldn’t enjoy the last night there.

Hi Ashley! Thank you for the kind words and we are so glad you enjoyed our home. You're welcome back anytime!
Took a spring break trip with my adult children and the property was great. There was enough room for all of us to be together (7 of us) in the main living space and outdoors but also enough rooms for some privacy. They had a lot of dishes, nice appliances and almost everything we needed, a pitcher would have been nice but that is a small thing. We played basketball, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit and even spent a day on the lake since the weather was nice. I do a lot of vrbo and I found the host to be very communicative and flexible, above average. Would recommend.
