Boat rental facilities, a great grocery store, sit down restaurants, a gas station, a McDonald's, a public beach with playground and boat ramp are all within 2 miles!

As long as the nights are below freezing these resorts make their own snow and usually are open and everyone has a great time.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We are glad you had a fun vacation and hopefully you made a lot of great memories at the lake. Sorry something wasn't as clean as you would have liked, we passed your comment to our cleaning ladies and they'll work even harder. That is the first time we've ever heard anything like that as they are generally extremely thorough. You are welcome back anytime!
Great stay, very comfortable home as described. Our plans did not allow us the time to use their many outside amenities.. patio, kayaks and water. Enjoyed our stay!
We stayed here in April to race Barry-Roubaix. The house was fantastic and in a great location. Everything we needed was available and the house itself was really great. The beds were super comfortable and we had plenty of space. It's located close to a grocery store and some restaurants which was a nice bonus. The owner was very communicative and made it easy for us to check-in. We would stay here again and would definitely recommend it

Nice place for a friend get together! We played some games, sat outside by a fire, went on our boat to enjoy the scenery( lake does have lots of shallow spots), but was able to pull in shallow sandy area, and get out to walk & enjoy the cool water! Went to the casino! Had a great getaway at this VRBO!

About the host
Hosted by John Cremer
My name is John Cremer and I'm a licensed associate real estate broker in Michigan. My wife is Sally and I met in college here in West Michigan but she is from West Lafayette, Indiana and I grew up in Colorado, Florida, Michigan and then primarily the Chicago area. 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.
Sally and I have been married now for 29 years and have been blessed with 6 amazing kids and just love spending time with them on the lake. We also own the property next door, VRBO Property #7497835 and also VRBO Property 3001258). We figure with 6 kids we may need all 3 houses at the same time someday so planning ahead :-) We reserve the dates we need each summer at each house now and allow others to enjoy the rest and we are excited to know that our guests 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 purchased this property in early 2015 as a small 2 bed 1 bath ranch with no garage and through 2015 and 2016 made it into the amazing house it is today. There is a large photo book at the house that you can enjoy that shows the before, during and after photos. We're excited to share this home with people that we hope appreciate it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
Every inch of this house was planned as it is for a reason. In addition to being one of the safest houses out there in terms of fire safety, this house is fully accessible on the main floor once in the house. There are two steps up to the front door or door in the garage, and no steps anywhere on the main floor. All hallways & doorways are 3 ft wide, and the main floor master suite has step-in shower. There is also main floor laundry are on the same level for easy access. There is main floor laundry, plenty of parking, and lots of space to entertain friends in the yard and on the deck, boardwalk, and obviously out on the big water. This lagoon (the size of a short & wide channel about 11 houses long) is a favorite of those that love to fish as it is very quiet and only the fishers, ducks, and tons of fish seem to find their way into it so not a lot of traffic or waves, and it is primarily owner occupant properties around the water so they all help look after the place. The lake is very fun and a great place to make memories!
