House was conveniently located, very clean, and loved the backyard for the dogs. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Loved the stay and look forward to staying again!
Beautiful home! Our stay was amazingly quiet and peaceful we enjoyed every second of our trip and thankful we experienced such great hospitality at your home, hope we will be able to book again some time in the future.
The home is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the lake. The spacious open floor plan made our family vacation comfortable and gave us the room to hang out together. We really enjoyed staying there.
This home was so warm and comfortable. Everything was spotless and we had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. The scenery was beautiful and it was a close distance to a ton of places to eat and hang out!
My family and I had a great stay on Mona Lake. The property was exactly as described maybe even better. The property manager, Adam, was very helpful and easy to reach. I would definitely recommend this house for a relaxing family vacation.
This home was well equipped for a stay and there was plenty of room for multiple or large families. The house was clean on the inside but I don’t think it had been opened for the year yet and needed some cleaning outside. The host was an excellent communicator and I appreciated the ability to ask questions and update them as the stay progressed. We will definitely stay again when we go back to the area.
Our family enjoyed our stay very much! Property was clean and welcoming. Beds and living space were comfortable and kitchen well stocked, even for our large group of 10 people. The kids loved playing in the spacious grass area of the yard. Property manager was great at communicating too. Wonderful trip for us!
This property was great for our annual girls getaway. The house was immaculately clean with comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was very prompt in responding to my emails. We appreciated the upscale linens, but definitely needed more towels. I would highly recommend this property.
The house is comfortable and decorated so nicely.
The owners have thought
Of virtually everything one might need while away from home.
I really appreciated fresh ground coffee, and a Keurig machine. Plus a wonderfully stocked kitchen to prepare anything you would like to
Make.
Thanks for a great stay and we will be back!
The house was big and clean, just as described. Great view of the lake, unfortunately it was too cold to take advantage of the water. Very comfortable. Highly recommend
This home was a lovely place for my family to stay for our summer vacation! There was plenty of rooms for the 12 of us to sleep and to live for the week. The back patio was a nice relaxing place to sit in the mornings and afternoons and the living room provided enough seating for everyone to sit and watch TV when it rained. The only thing that we had to do when we got there was sweep the steps going down to the lake as they were covered in tree debris and creeping vines. Other than that the property was a beautiful place for family to gather!
We stayed with 2 couples, one couple being older. The layout of the house was perfect. Beds were exactly how we like them. We opened the shades and had lake view our whole stay. The steps to the dock were a little too steep for half of us😀. Communication was the best we ever had. Location was central to everywhere we we wanted to go. ..Muskegan, Grand Rapids..Loved the neighborhood and all the squirrels. Very well stocked!!

House was great! Open and modern floor plan, natural light, big couch and good seating, lots of pillows and blankets, well stocked with everything! Added enjoyment of bald eagles flying over the lake. Adam was responsive with communication. Rented this house for a soccer tournament in Feb (so didn’t really get to enjoy the lake or outdoor seating) and it was located right in the middle of the 3 field locations. Reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
The house was as advertised, very nice and comfortable and spacious. The outdoors, not so much. Grass was tall, all outdoor furniture dirty, kayaks dirty and full of water. Limbs down on the roof and everywhere and gutters full. Deck not as accessible as picture shows. It was down a long staircase which was littered with branches and chairs from porches had been taken down there and we were not able to retrieve. The outdoors was a selling point for me and we weren’t able to use it at all! I expect properties to be as advertised, as that is why I am booking and what I expect to be paying for.
Enjoyed our stay! Easy check-in and check-out. Had everything we needed. Lots of counter space for cooking/entertaining. They had everything we needed!
The communication was terrific. The house was extremely well stocked up with all you'd expect. Master bedroom was very comfortable.. good sheets/mattress etc.
The house was perfect for our special occasion (my wife’s 50th birthday), comfortably hosting us, 2 other couples, and a couple more family members.The back patio is large and furnished, making for a great hangout spot for chatting around a fire and playing cards at table.
The home is clean and updated. Check in process and communication was a breeze. The lake views and access were beyond expectations!! Loved our stay. If I ever make it back to Michigan in the future, I would stay here again.
