Pristine Waterfront Vacation Home On Desirable All-Sports Big Twin Lake
This deluxe vacation home has an open concept Living Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen with direct access to large deck to meet multiple families needs. A large luxurious Master Suite overlooks the lake with direct access to a deck perfect for entertaining/relaxing. Two additional main floor guest suites, 1 overlooking the lake share a beautifully renovated bathroom. A full feature laundry room off the foyer is available if needed.
An inviting Loft bedroom with twin bunk beds and "play nooks" is a perfect play-and-stay place for kids. The lower level features "up-north knotty pine" comfort with a great room space (2 sleeper sofa's if needed) and 2 bedroom suites. One bedroom suite features a spacious and deluxe twin Queen bed Suite with on-suite bathroom. The other Queen bedroom features knotty-pine ambiance with freshly renovated semi-private bathroom.
Please take advantage of the many water activities on the kayaks, paddle board, canoe and 14' fishing boat w/oars that are included. A full service dock with integrated patio is also included.
Be sure to ask the owner about multiple watersport toys available for rent separately (24' Pontoon w/90hp, outboard for the 14' fishing boat). The owner has been known to offer sea-doo and ski-boat rides to guests, availability is just a phone call away (or flag Matt down on the lake).
The Winter season is just as amazing as summer. Your located directly in the “Snow Belt” so abundant snow is available when other areas are lacking. Snowmobile trails are easily accessible.
Also, many ski resorts (Shanty Creek/Schuss Mtn, Boyne, Hanson Hills, Tree-tops, Hickory Hills, Mount Holiday) and cross-country trails are a short drive away.
This is truly a WinterWaterWonderland.

Annual Golf Outing
Perfect place for our annual golf outing. The house was large enough to fit all 12 of us comfortably and the kitchen was well equipped.

Great house on a beautiful lake!
Matt was very easy to get ahold of. The property had everything we needed. The lake has crystal clear water and was tucket away from the crowds you would find on the chain'o'lakes.

Family Vacation 2023
We had an excellent time. The lake was beautiful. Crystal clear and very fun. We loved the deck right on the water. We rented the pontoon boat that was perfect for cruising around the lake with the whole family. This property had everything you need. We only needed to bring our clothes, beach towels and food. Everything else was waiting for us. The owners are super nice, helpful and on-call to answer any questions throughout our stay. The place was very clean and laid out really well. Thank you, Matt and Laura for a great stay!!

Family Vacation
This was a great place for us to stay with our family of 11. Plenty of space, bright and clean, and a wonderful view of the lake. Our youngest three grandchildren enjoyed the water every day and the rest of us most of the days. Matt was very helpful and a gracious host.

Great lake vacation spot
Ideal place for a family vacation! The house is large so perfect for multiple family units with everyone having their own area. We had adult children along with young grandchildren so it was an ideal setup. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, utensils, pots and pans, etc. We enjoyed the great view of the lake and the deck and patio areas were wonderful as well as the dock. Loved the chairs on the dock, too! Great place to hang out and relax and take in the lake views. We also rented the pontoon boat and loved spending time on that. Matt and Laura have done a great job of providing a very comfortable place for a family vacation! Already have booked for a week next summer!

Our family loves this place
Love the spaciousness, plenty of room for 7 adults and 5 kids. The lake is crystal clear. Only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Grand Rapids. Kayaks, paddleboard, etc., provided. This was our 2nd year in a row to rent this house, and hope to return.

Amazing vacation home
This home is amazing! When we arrived a few minutes early Matt was there doing some last minute things. He was welcoming, kind and helpful. The house is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. All of the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is supplied with all the dishes and utensils needed for our family of 14. Our family enjoyed the popcorn popper in the evening. The lake is quiet and peaceful. We rented the pontoon also and enjoyed it a lot. Our son brought his fishing boat and caught a lot of fish. He does catch and release so we didn’t get to eat any but he sure enjoyed catching them. With a beautiful lake, a beautiful home, and excellent hosts, it doesn’t get any better!
