Better than advertised!

This is one of the few places that actually looks as good or better than the photos. Super clean, comfortable and very well stocked with coffee and all the other cleaning needs, dishes, Bakeware etc. We stayed here with two families of 4 for a long holiday week and the place is great - nice beach area, conveniently located close to stores, restaurants, etc. We will be back!

Great Lake house

We had four adults and four kids stay in this cute house on the lake. The kids woke up every morning to fish and kayak all day. The younger two kids loved the sandy beach area and the adults enjoyed the outdoor kitchen area. Plenty of room on the dock for our 21 foot boat. Would definitely stay here again!

Great outdoor amenities

We enjoyed the home’s outdoor amenities so much - kayaking, sun deck by the lake, grilled and watched tv on the patio in comfy recliners. The fireplace was perfect for the cool nights. The inside is like new and super clean. It was just a short trip to Silver Lake for buggy riding on the dunes, shopping at Grand Haven and hiking at Hoffmaster State Park.

Great place to relax with the family

family needed a place to stay together for a wedding weekend. From the moment we walked in there was just a feeling of relaxation that affected us all. Plenty of room for our 7 plus all the bags. Amazing kitchen, dock, outdoor space. Close enough to shopping district to get food deliveries. Very evident that the property owner put a great deal of thought into making this home into a haven.

Great stay and host!

We had an incredible vacation staying at Thom's home! Thom was extremely responsive leading into the trip and during our stay, providing lots of local recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed and more. The cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in, new construction. Every detail is thought through, you don't need to travel with your house- it is all there. Great set up for families with kids, adults can keep a close eye on kiddos playing in the sand and shallow warm water. Highly recommend, thanks for a great vacation!

Million dollar views and very clean!

Beautiful and very clean home...million dollar views...family enjoyed fishing, kayaking, firepit, back porch, birds, ducks, possible eagle, and the great grandchild (would visit for the day) loved the little beach making sand castles. Beds were comfortable...except for the pull out couch (would be sufficient for a small child). The family had an exceptional time making lots of memories!

Gorgeous house!

This house looks even better in person! It has absolutely everything you need for your stay and it looks like a newly built home with a modern lake house feel. Everything was so well put together! Paddle board, kayaks, fishing rods, fire pit and so much outdoor seating. Thom was great at answering questions with very quick response time. We will definitely be staying here again next summer

Excellent location

Thom's place was the perfect getaway for our group of 4! The house was spacious, bright and clean, and the beds very comfortable. The amenities at the house were outstanding,with plenty of seating and lounging area, including two firepits with provided gas and wood. The house is right on Mona Lake, and we were even able to rent a boat and go out to Lake Michigan for cruising and sunsets. Not only is the location on the lake excellent, but the house is minutes from groceries and restaurants. We had an awesome time and hope to rent Thom's place again!

Perfect up north getaway!

Thoms home was absolutely stunning and perfectly equipped with everything you need for a lake house stay. From perfectly soft (and amazing smelling) sheets, to kitchen cookware, to the kayaks and outdoor setting - this was the best lake house we’ve ever stayed at. Our kids enjoyed playing in the sand and lake in the backyard, and we were never far from an activity, such as the beautiful Pere Marquette beach, downtown Grand Haven, and of course Michigan Adventure! It’s clear that Thom poured a lot of love into this place, and we’re so grateful that he shared his home with us. We’ll definitely be back!

Lake life is the best life!

Gorgeous home on a beautiful lake! This house was perfect for me and my husband, our 2 teenage daughters and our mom & dad for our annual week-long summer vacation. We most enjoyed the outdoor space...playing yard games, fishing off the dock, sunning on the tubes, kayaking, watching the Olympics and playing cards on the covered patio and smores at the fire pit. Also enjoyed a few trips to Grand Haven and to Lake Michigan for the most beautiful sunsets. The house was newly renovated, very clean and comfortable with a fully stocked large kitchen. Thom was a most gracious host and always responded quickly via text. Thanks for sharing this gem with us Thom!

Mona lake house

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The owner really thought everything out. We had everything we needed. The property exceeded our expectations. The outside was fantastic. Plenty space and area to hang out, grill, relax and make s’mores. The sitting areas with the grill was covered and has a tv. So even when it rained we were able to enjoy the outside. There’s even a little beach area - no need to leave and go somewhere else. The only suggestion I have for the owner is to change the time he has set for the sprinkle system. It kind of put a damper on the kids being able to play outside. It came on even during the rain. Otherwise would definitely love to come again next year.

Great property

The property is very nice and the outdoor furniture was comfortable. We had a bit of trouble with the lock on the door but figured it out. It’s close to multiple beaches. There were beach towels which was nice. We had four in our party, which is almost more than the living room supports for watching TV. The grill was pretty dirty so we didn’t use it and we weren’t sure about how the flattop drained grease so we didn’t use that either. I wish there were hangers in the closets. A few things for the owners- the bottom dishwasher rack is missing wheels so tough to get in and out. The indoor soundbar and the oven fan didn’t work. Overall very well maintained and we enjoyed our stay.

This is a hidden gem! The place looked exactly as it was listed. It fit all of us well. The kids and adults loved the beach and lake. The beds were so comfortable. Everyone loved the pillows as well. The kitchen was nicely stocked and had everything needed to cook and store. It was exactly what we needed for a long weekend getaway/catch up. The host was great with answering questions, and providing recommendations.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home! The location couldn’t have been better—right on the lake with stunning views that made for a relaxing and memorable weekend.The house itself was immaculate. Every piece of furniture and every appliance was in excellent condition, if not brand new. It was clear the owners take great pride in maintaining the property, and everything was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed.The owner was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. Communication was quick, friendly, and helpful from booking through checkout, making everything seamless and stress-free.One of the highlights of our trip was renting a boat directly from the owner. It was incredibly convenient and truly made our weekend perfect. Spending the day out on the lake created memories we’ll never forget.If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-maintained lake house with an attentive host and the added bonus of boat rentals, this is the place. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect lakeside getaway!
