Lakehouse Getaway - Grand Rapids Area - Murray Lake - Sandy Beach, Dock, Hot Tub

Located only 25 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, this is the perfect place to escape. Murray Lake is a large all sports lake with 320 Acres of space. The lake's signature "horse-shoe" shape and deep water make it great for many activities such as skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, kayaking (2 provided), paddle boarding, and swimming. This single story home is located at the end of a culdesac, so it is a safe and quiet place to relax. There is parking in the driveway for around 4 vehicles. (2 stall garage is locked for owner's storage)

This lakefront home has updated cabinetry, luxury vinyl planking, bathrooms, quartz countertops throughout, and much more. The kitchen is spacious with an 8', wine fridge, keurig coffee maker, regular coffee maker, ninja blender, toaster, GE Profile appliances, and is stocked with everything for most of your cooking needs. As you stand in the kitchen you will enjoy the expansive 18 feet of glass viewing the water. There is a cozy lakeside living room with an electric fireplace providing heat as well as accent lighting for any occasion.

Outside there is a sprawling deck with ample seating, a propane grille, a covered sitting area, and outdoor dining table for enjoying a meal in the sunshine. Off to the side there is a patio with a Jacuzzi hot tub! The yard has plenty of space for yard games, there is a swing set for smaller children (9 years and younger), and a sandy beach with lounge chairs and a dock to enjoy the water. 2 Kayaks are located on the beach for guest use (life jackets are provided and required).

Back inside the house there are 3 main bedrooms off to one side of the house with beds to sleep 8, as well as an expansive back Great Room with a 85" TV and Sonos sound system along with additional beds to sleep 6 more. This is a great setup for 2 or 3 families that would enjoy their own space for their sleeping arrangements. The master bedroom features a pillow top king size mattress and a private bathroom.

Both TV's are setup with complimentary YouTube TV as well as the option for you to login to any of your own accounts, such as Netflix, Hulu, and many others. There is high speed internet coverage across the entire house. The home is setup with a Ring Security System.

This house is close to many local conveniences such as the Village of Cannonsburg, featuring Honey Creek Inn, Parnell General Store, or go the other way to downtown Lowell. Arrowhead Golf Coarse is only 2 miles away or stop at Red Barn to grab some ice cream and let the kids play in the petting zoo.

Come and see how enjoyable a weekend on the lake can be!

We never wanted to leave!
This was a great home base for my family as we visited the Grand Rapids area to see family and do some sight seeing. We felt right at home in this house and it was exactly as listed and pictured. Brandon was very responsive and friendly in all communications. The house has been beautifully updated and had all of the amenities we could need! Lots of towels (beach and bath), cooking utensils, toiletries, etc. The scenery could not be more lovely either! We enjoyed taking the kayaks out, swinging on the swings, grilling, and just enjoying sitting on the deck looking out at Murray Lake. We were traveling with a large group (5 adults and one infant) and there was plenty of space for us all. Everyone had their own bedroom and we used the pack n play and high chair at the house for our baby. We did not want our trip to end and we would love to come back and stay here again! Thank you to the hosts for opening your home for other families to make memories in it!

Relaxing week with our adult children
We loved this quiet lakeside retreat. Had a few days of rain but the incredible bonus room was a great escape on those days. We rented the boat as well which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely stay here again.

Summer family vacation
Everything on our stay was great. We had 3 kids and 9 adults. There was plenty of room. The house is clean, well maintained, and had all the features/supplies we needed. The backyard, deck, and lake access is perfect as well. We usually pick a different location every year to vacation. This property has everyone thinking about returning to Murray Lake again next year.

Great stay in a winter wonderland
We had a comfortable winter stay at this beautifully designed and appointed Murray Lake house. Everything was as advertised and we had no problems at all. Brandon, the owner, was great to communicate with. Snow removal was even provided while we were there!
