The house was just what we were looking for. Quiet, rustic area, and a lake. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very cooperative, so we couldnt venture out and enjoy the water.

The house is fantastic. Very comfortable and the views can't be beat. Greg is very easy to get in touch with when we had questions. We loved swimming in Duck Lake but then easy drive to get to Lake Michigan beaches as well.

Duck Lake Nice Stay

This was a great stay for my family. The house was plenty big for the 5 of us. The lake was great for swimming. You do have to walk down like 40 stairs to get to the lake, but wort it. The best part i could take my large black lab there, we loved that the most.

Nice & Quiet

Had everything we needed! Teens forgot about their personal devices and we all enjoyed the lake for swimming & fishing. The view was incredible with so many spots to hangout together or with a book.

The house was spacious, modern, and clean, and the property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed grilling on the wrap-around deck with a view of the water, and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. The lake was shallow and clear--perfect for our kids jumping off the dock.

Great stay for family of 6

This home was very clean upon arrival. Stocked with everything that we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond. The location was very good for us having friends that live in Muskegon. Would certainly stay again in the future.

Wonderful week away

We had such a great week. Everything that you could need was provided. We made a grocery run, cooked everything in the very well appointed kitchen and every night enjoyed a camp fire. The kids were in the lake everyday swimming and fishing.

The house and property both were absolutely beautiful. The house was clean, the beds were comfy and there was plenty of towels for me and 3 teenage boys. My 15 year old was excited for this trip because he loves fishing. I took him out on the row boat and he spent most of his time fishing off the dock. The water was warm and you could see the bottom of the lake. There are a couple neighbors but you don't really see them. It felt secluded and it was very quiet. The view from the deck is breathtaking. We loved our stay at this hidden gem.

Paradise in Twin Lake

This place was fantastic. The pictures don’t do it justice. Secluded and quit on the lake but 30 minutes from Muskegon and Lake Michigan. Host was very responsive and we had everything we needed. The little private beach was nice for taking a dip and the dock and rowboat are a nice touch for fishermen. I caught a Northern Pike, some sunnies, and several bass. One was 3 lbs. Plenty of room for parking and enough room in the house and deck for a nice family reunion (within reason). Will stay again when visiting family in the area.

Lake house vacation

The lake house was a great choice for my family. The kids loved fishing off the dock, swimming, and rowing. My wife and I prized the tranquility and relaxing on the deck. It’s still close enough to Muskegon that it was easy to run in and out, and we appreciated the cleanliness and roominess for all of us!

Thank for the great memories!

The house and lake were exactly what we were looking for. My boys got to play and fish in the lake. The house was perfect for us and very comfortable. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. The memories will last a lifetime!
