Great location. We easily carried our kayaks down to the waters of Lake White. Lake Michigan and the beach were a beautiful walk away. Loved watching the late evening sun go down across Lake Michigan. Our rental was visited by deer, black squirrels, green heron, red-headed woodpeckers and one bald eagle. Checkout the nearby Channel Inn for dinner.

This is our 3rd summer staying at the house. We enjoy the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, great views and easy on foot access to White Lake and Lake Michigan. The owners are very responsive and professional. There is a herd of deer in the lake area and we really enjoyed watching them wander around the yard and through the woods. It's peaceful and just the right amount of lake activity (boats, fisherman) to make it fun to watch from the deck(s). Very quiet location. Pictures match the house, it's very nicely decorated and comfortable.

Perfect Space and Location

We visit the Montague area every year and this house was perfect for our stay. We had two families at the house and there was plenty of room for the four adults and three children, plenty of towels for the beach, and a great space for cooking our meals. The location was great for walking up the pier and for getting to our favorite beach

Perfect place for us!

Traveling to Whitehall/Montague to visit the White River Light Station with my baby grandson whose great great great great grandfather was Captain William Robinson. We could SEE the lighthouse from the balcony of our VRBO. What a view! Very comfortable and fun place for 6 adults, 2 children and 1 infant to stay. Loved the beach close by too. Couldn't have asked for a better place.

Great location near the lakes and channel!

Very comfortable house with large kitchen, living area and rooms. Garage with many kayaks, ping pong, foosball. Definitely enjoyed having the firepit and other outdoor areas. Lake Michigan was about a 5 minute walk and the boat launch for the kayaks was only 100 feet away. Short drive (12 minute) into town for restaurants, ice cream, breweries, groceries, etc.

Nicest VRBO at White Lake!

Holy Moly ! This home is impeccable decorated! It’s just stunning! Every single thing in it is so well thought out.it’s spotless clean. Plenty of towels, soaps, dishwasher detergent, coffee creamer… the things most VRBOs nice you just 3 of. You can walk to Lake Mich for the sunset or sit around their fire pit at nigh. Each bedroom and bathroom were designed beautifully. And we loved the deck couch/chairs we could sit on and watch the boats go thru the channel. It was an incredible stay! I highly recommend.

Wonderful stay!

When we arrived we found a welcome basket and a hand written note from Roni and Eric, which was a very nice surprise. The check-in process was very easy and the house is gorgeous. There is a spectacular view of the channel, and a nice walk to the pier and beach. Since it was October it was breezy and cool ( our Florida family members may describe it a little differently), but it was still very enjoyable taking a walk on the pier. There is a wonderful fire pit but we felt it was a little too windy to have a fire. Maybe we will have an opportunity to go back. Thank you Roni and Eric for providing such a wonderful home for our family gathering.

A Perfect Week!

The property and amenities were everything the listing showed and said, and more! We were expecting it to be nice, and the ease of access to Lake Michigan beaches, the chanel, and White Lake at least manageabke, but it was actually as if they were our front yard...yet without any crowds ir commotion in our frint yard. Absolutely perfect for whatever vibe a particular family member was seeking.

2nd Summer vacation stay

This is our second summer staying at this house. We love the location, the amenities, and the beautiful views. We really appreciated the new gas grill and the continued availability of the five kayaks and two standup paddle boards. Our weather was great and we were able to be on the water and on the beach almost every day. The pictures online are exactly what you get – very comfortable and the host is extremely responsive and timely. We have already booked our 3rd stay for summer 2025. It’s a great property and we are very fortunate to have found it.

Beautiful Home with close access to the lakes

The house is well taken care of with modern amenities. The owner is very responsive, and friendly. Just a 5 minute walk to a wonderful Lake Michigan beach. You can watch boats go in and out of the channel, and see the deer play in the yard, all from the comfort of the balcony. Very quiet and private location. There is also a boat launch a few hundred feet down the road, if you wanted to bring your boat. My family had a wonderful vacation here.

Spacious, Relaxing, Vaca

This is a beautiful home, very spacious and accommodating. Everything you need for a perfect vacation. We brought our kayaks but, we didn’t even need to do that. We loved watching the boats make their way back and forth. It’s close enough to walk to the causeway. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed having a campfire each night, as well as seeing the abundance of deer on and around the property. The dumb waiter was a blessing since we brought 3 coolers of groceries with us. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic hosts, fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

Everything about this property was beautiful, inside and out. The layout of the home was great for a large family with teenagers (kitchen on top floor with great views, bedrooms & bathroom on main level, and basement full of fun activities) and we loved that it was within walking distance to the beach and boat launch. The home had everything we needed to cook and the water from the tap tasted better than any VRBO we've ever stayed in. Every detail was thoughtful...the decorating was very sweet. I appreciated the guest book with helpful hints. Easy access to local dining, shopping, beaches/parks etc. We ate at Old Channel Inn (2 minute drive or a quick bike ride away) then went to the Muskegon Farmers Market, Silversides, and an Aquastar boat tour in Muskegon. I would love to visit the area again and go to the Montague farmers market and visit the local antique stores and garage sales. Would definitely book this property again! Thank you Eric & Roni!!

About the host

Hosted by Roni and Eric Cwengros

Host profile image
Hello Guests, we are excited to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property

The search began from South Haven, North up the Lake Michigan shore. We stumbled onto this place and knew before even seeing it in person, this place was the one that we could have a forever family cottage. The home and property checked all the boxes that we were looking for and so much more. The feeling you get when you sit up on the decks and look out over the water is indescribable. We had very little knowledge of the area when we purchased but learned quickly why it was so popular. The area has that sense of community and small town feel. There is plenty to do while you're there, however anytime we get a chance to stay I never want to leave the property! It is so peaceful and secluded!

What makes this property unique

Unique to the other homes near there is the home is tucked into the woods. You have to look hard through the trees in the summer time to see any other home. The 2 decks in front of the home offer spectacular views. The upper level of the home is the main living area which makes sense to have the best views while your awake during the day. The entry first level is where the bedrooms are. It is feet away from White Lake and 1/2 mile to Lake Michigan and the channel. If you stand to the far left you can even see the waves on Lake Michigan. The location is perfect to take advantage of both lakes. In the fall there are so many trees that offer all the colors of autumn. In the Winter the views get even better as the leaves begin to fall from the surrounding area, opening up your sight lines.
