Wonderful Get-away!
Everything is wonderful about this place. It's a large and beautiful and super-well appointed house in a great location. The host is friendly, very helpful and responds quickly. Plenty of things to do both at home and in the area. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Highly recommended!

Last minute
Our family rented this property at the end of summer as a last minute getaway. The house was exactly as advertised. Enough activities inside and out to keep everyone busy the entire stay. The owner is a quick phone call or text away.

Idyllic Family Getaway
Exceptionally well equipped Lakehouse, with a quick easy traipse through the shallows to a beautiful white sand lake Michigan beach. All of the waves and none of the salt of the sea. It was possible to take a kayak in the other direction to Bass Lake (lots of fishing successes!) It was a short drive or longer walk down the beach to Pentwater where there was a selection of three ice cream parlors. (Love HOF!) There is everything at the house that you could possibly need for the beach from beach, chairs, umbrellas, floating islands, towels. Enough space to hide away from the people you were with. The elders enjoyed having balconies off of every room to hang out. The widow’s watch afforded a view of the beach, if you didn’t feel like walking down to see the sunset. The workout equipment helped justify the dietary indiscretions of vacation. Super easy set up for a campfire and s’mores. The kitchen has every appliance you can imagine from popcorn, poppers, crockpots, margarita- maker, toaster oven, perfect size for pizzas and two fridges so you don’t have to lug beverages upstairs. The gas grill got a work-out with our group, as did the washer-dryer. There were plenty of eat-out options but we cooked in for the most-part. We had a front row seat for a thunderstorm and Wi-Fi that allowed us to watch the women’s World Cup soccer and kept the preteen/teenagers happy. Mike was super-helpful with links to all the local attractions. Super!

Perfect lake getaway!
This lovely lake house provided our family with a perfect lake vacation. The location (at the junction of Lake Michigan and Bass Lake) provided lots of water and beach access, and there were amenities galore--every type of chair, umbrella, float, toy, etc. you could want for playing in the water. Although we did not use them (because we had a baby with us), there were bikes, kayaks, canoes, exercise equipment, and a foosball table as well. The house was big enough that our party of 8 could spread out, but also had lovely spaces where we could come together and play cards and games, grill burgers and corn, make s'mores, watch sunsets, and relax. Rick was an excellent host and had anticipated all our needs. He gave us a great overview upon arrival and was readily available by phone or text both before and during our stay. The home was well stocked with basic pantry items as well as lots of kitchen amenities, bath and beach towels, a highchair and portacrib, etc. We had a lot of fun relaxing and playing in the waves of Lake Michigan and along the warm, shallow water that connects Lake Michigan to Bass Lake. Many wonderful memories were made in this beautiful home!

Perfect Michigan Getaway
My family and I had an absolute blast staying here. Family friendly! Even had a high chair and pack and play. Beautiful location tucked in the forest with a view from the top story of Lake Michigan. Access to the waterfront from a river. The owner was communicative and extremely helpful. We had such a fantastic time staying here and recommend it as the perfect Michigan getaway. Also, Pentwater and Luddington are so cute with lovely shopping and some good restaurants. Cannot recommend enough!

Two weeks of fun and relaxation
Our family rented this Lake house for two weeks. Family members were free to come and go during this period of time. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy games, cards and good conversation. We had real family togetherness. Walking the channel to Lake Michigan was an adventurous experience as was kayaking down the channel to Bass Lake. The many stairs for a person with any walking disability could be a challenge. The host and hostess were thoughtful, accommodating, and always on call when needed. Happy memories were made by all. Thanks for this special time.

Excellent property with Lake Michigan and river access
Family enjoyed for Labor Day weekend. We took advantage of being within waking distance to Lake Michigan and had direct access to a small channel / river that connect Bass Lake to Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the kayaks and my son fished on the river daily. Property was very clean and was well stocked with toiletries. Will be plannng a return trip there in future for sure!

Awesome stay!
We had the best stay in Pentwater. Rick was a great host and the house had everything you might need. The kitchen was especially well equipped. This area with the beach and the inlet so close is really just perfect for young children. Thanks for the great week Rick!

Great Lake House!
Fantastic lake house for a family vacation. Location is perfect- you can spend time on Lake Michigan, or Bass Lake both of which are accessible just out the back yard via the creek. The kids loved the creek/dam area so much as well- perfect for young ones to swim in. Kayaks, paddle boards and canoes all on the property for guests to use, and all the beach equipment you could ask for! One of the best stocked kitchens we have seen in a VRBO. Owner was fantastic and so helpful whenever we had a question. Great property!
