The house is fantastic. Very comfortable and the views can't be beat. Greg is very easy to get in touch with when we had questions. We loved swimming in Duck Lake but then easy drive to get to Lake Michigan beaches as well.

The house was spacious, modern, and clean, and the property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed grilling on the wrap-around deck with a view of the water, and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. The lake was shallow and clear--perfect for our kids jumping off the dock.

Great stay for family of 6

This home was very clean upon arrival. Stocked with everything that we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond. The location was very good for us having friends that live in Muskegon. Would certainly stay again in the future.

Paradise in Twin Lake

This place was fantastic. The pictures don’t do it justice. Secluded and quit on the lake but 30 minutes from Muskegon and Lake Michigan. Host was very responsive and we had everything we needed. The little private beach was nice for taking a dip and the dock and rowboat are a nice touch for fishermen. I caught a Northern Pike, some sunnies, and several bass. One was 3 lbs. Plenty of room for parking and enough room in the house and deck for a nice family reunion (within reason). Will stay again when visiting family in the area.

Beautiful house in a great location

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property with plenty of space. Greg provided all the information well ahead of time and also was in touch with us through our stay. The pictures do not do justice to this property with beautiful views from the deck and balcony. Very comfortable beds and clean appointments. Highly recommend it.

Wonderful, Tranquil and Comfortable

Great house, comfortably furnished from the couches to the beds. Wonderful view. The stairs to the lake made a trip to the gym unnecessary BUT worth it as my gym doesn't have the over all peaceful and beautiful view as this place does.

Property worked well for us!

The property was perfect for our group of 6 adults! Lots of room in the living room and downstairs common area. The kitchen was plenty big enough for all 6 of us to be cooking at once. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, bowls and cooking utensils. The owner was very responsive to answer some questions I had before we arrived. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Way Exceeded Expectations

My son and I spent the weekend there with my two labrador retrievers. The property is absolutely gorgeous. It sits overlooking a very tranquil and beautiful lake. We heard and saw birds constantly. There was no road, human, or motor noise at all. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed the lake. Our dogs enjoyed a swim,( it was too cold for us still this early in the year!) The house is extremely comfortable. You could easily have a much larger group here. Property manager was a delight to interact with. We would return in a heartbeat and hope to do so.

Very Sad

We booked this for a weekend wedding. The day of our check in my youngest brother died unexpectedly. I reached out to the owner for a full or partial refund and he said there was nothing he could do. I then reached out to VRBO for assistance and after some conversations they indicated that the owner was not willing to refund any of the money. Very upsetting that he could not find it in his heart to do the right thing

Great place with lots of room!This was our third time back and this place never disappoints. Don't get too loud after 10:00 pm outside. Neighbor yelled at us once but that was 3 years ago. No trouble since.Finally got to meet Greg the owner this time. He is really nice and accommodating.

The house and property both were absolutely beautiful. The house was clean, the beds were comfy and there was plenty of towels for me and 3 teenage boys. My 15 year old was excited for this trip because he loves fishing. I took him out on the row boat and he spent most of his time fishing off the dock. The water was warm and you could see the bottom of the lake. There are a couple neighbors but you don't really see them. It felt secluded and it was very quiet. The view from the deck is breathtaking. We loved our stay at this hidden gem.

Duck Lake Nice Stay

This was a great stay for my family. The house was plenty big for the 5 of us. The lake was great for swimming. You do have to walk down like 40 stairs to get to the lake, but wort it. The best part i could take my large black lab there, we loved that the most.

We were very impressed with this cottage, from the second we entered. Very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. And then there were the views of the lake. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and overall an awe...experience. Would love to return. Thank you for a great vacation.

Beautiful Lake House Getaway

The pictures didnt do this place justice. Tucked away in a private wooded neighborhood alongside a gorgeous little lake. The open concept home and breathtaking lake view made for a relaxing and comfortable stay. There's lots of room in this 3 story home with a walk out basement. It has a lot of steps, so if you may not enjoy it as much if you're not very mobile. I took the row boat out and caught some fish and enjoyed the wildlife. The sunsets are amazing from this property,
