Tulip time getaway

Great property for big families. Outdoor seating is more than enough. Kitchen and living room open floor plan is perfect. All the bedrooms have a lake view. The cherry on top is the very clean hot tub!

Paradise in Muskegon

I recently enjoyed this Lake House with several of my friends for a 4 day/3 night stay and it did not disappoint. The house was perfect for our group and right off the water. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The weather wasn’t so great so we gathered by the bond fire most night because we did not want to leave the lakeside. Our host was very nice and accommodating (even though we used up all the firewood). We can’t wait to come back!

Nice Stay!

We had a fantastic stay! The amenities really made the trip, especially the hot tub and fire pit, which were perfect for relaxing in the evenings. We even made s'mores under the stars, which was such a fun touch. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and there were plenty of towels, including beach towels, which was super convenient.We took the canoe out on the water and tried a little fishing off the dock (no luck this time, but still a good time!). Grilled some steaks one night and enjoyed a great meal outside. The beds were really comfortable too, which made it easy to unwind after a day full of activities.Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway with all the comforts of home and then some!

Weekend Retreat

The lake house was absolutely stunning—spacious, beautifully decorated, and perfectly maintained. The large windows offered gorgeous lake views, and the outdoor space was ideal for relaxing. From the cozy fire pit area to the inviting deck, every detail made it feel like a true getaway. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable and stylish. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Cute property

The neighborhood is less than desirable but, the house is as cute as can be! It could use a few upgrades like a new can opener and more places to plug equipment in but overall, very nice and clean. The pontoon boat was not available and that is why we rented this one. There wasn’t any mention of this in the listing. The kitchen is very spacious and has many amenities. We would stay here again but maybe in warmer months.

Great stay!

Our stay at Mona Lake was absolutely fantastic. The boat provided was in great condition, allowing us to explore the lake with ease. The house itself was clean, spacious, and had incredibly comfortable beds. We were a group of 10 people, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house manager was responsive and ensured our needs were met. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house for a wonderful vacation.

Great Vacation

The house was roomy with a lot of places to sit, inside and out. The hot tub was good for four people. Loved being able to use the pontoon. Meijer's was close for shopping. The water in the lake was greenish in front, so not great for swimming. Overall, a great place to stay. Would consider renting it again.

Great Stay!

My family visited for a long weekend due to my daughter’s dance competition in Fruitport. The home was clean, appeared as advertised, and had everything we needed (plenty of towels, kitchen utensils, etc). Communication from the hosts was excellent - clear, friendly, and timely. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and making s’mores on the fire pit by the lake. We’d definitely visit again!

Just perfect

This was a perfect time of year to go. The house was exactly as described, with plenty of space, full kitchen, and the watercraft (canoe, kayak) were great fun, as was the pontoon boat. We had great times around the firepit in the evenings. There was plenty to do in the area, good hiking, live music and I especially liked the submarine museum, very well done. Special shout out to Kim, the manager. We had an actual conversation before arrival, and expectations and information were clear. We asked a couple of questions during the stay, and she answered within a few minutes each time. thanks!
