Great property for big families. Outdoor seating is more than enough. Kitchen and living room open floor plan is perfect. All the bedrooms have a lake view. The cherry on top is the very clean hot tub!
Great location, beautiful property with all amenities you could ask for. Great to have the boat at same location, good fishing, very quiet lake and very peaceful. WOULD STAY AGAIN
The lake house was absolutely stunning—spacious, beautifully decorated, and perfectly maintained. The large windows offered gorgeous lake views, and the outdoor space was ideal for relaxing. From the cozy fire pit area to the inviting deck, every detail made it feel like a true getaway. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable and stylish. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable stay.
I recently enjoyed this Lake House with several of my friends for a 4 day/3 night stay and it did not disappoint. The house was perfect for our group and right off the water. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The weather wasn’t so great so we gathered by the bond fire most night because we did not want to leave the lakeside. Our host was very nice and accommodating (even though we used up all the firewood). We can’t wait to come back!
We had a wonderful stay here for our girls getaway weekend! The house was very clean and so pretty. Plenty of space for everyone to sleep, sit, relax. We opted out of the boat but the hot tub was perfect! Such a beautiful home!
The property was amazing, great views, plenty of outdoor seating, and the pontoon boat was an added bonus. There was plenty of space for all 11 of us to fit and hang out comfortably. The property manager was very helpful, kind, available when needed and communicative. Highly recommend staying here!
Our stay at Mona Lake was absolutely fantastic. The boat provided was in great condition, allowing us to explore the lake with ease. The house itself was clean, spacious, and had incredibly comfortable beds. We were a group of 10 people, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house manager was responsive and ensured our needs were met. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house for a wonderful vacation.
We had a fantastic stay! The amenities really made the trip, especially the hot tub and fire pit, which were perfect for relaxing in the evenings. We even made s'mores under the stars, which was such a fun touch. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and there were plenty of towels, including beach towels, which was super convenient.We took the canoe out on the water and tried a little fishing off the dock (no luck this time, but still a good time!). Grilled some steaks one night and enjoyed a great meal outside. The beds were really comfortable too, which made it easy to unwind after a day full of activities.Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway with all the comforts of home and then some!
My family visited for a long weekend due to my daughter’s dance competition in Fruitport. The home was clean, appeared as advertised, and had everything we needed (plenty of towels, kitchen utensils, etc). Communication from the hosts was excellent - clear, friendly, and timely. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and making s’mores on the fire pit by the lake. We’d definitely visit again!

This was such a wonderful place to stay. Family loved it .my daughter was visiting from Edinburgh Scotland and my 92 year old mother got to spend some time her . bathroom next to her room and the kids stayed up stairs perfect lay out .kitchen has everything you need boat and hot tub were great fun will book again
We had a terrific time at this house. Check in was a breeze and they provided the pontoon, paddle boards, and kayaks. The water was the main draw, but there’s lots to do nearby.
Everyone enjoyed going to the farmers market, picking blueberries, shopping in Grand Haven, and touring a submarine and Coast Guard ship.
The house was roomy with a lot of places to sit, inside and out. The hot tub was good for four people. Loved being able to use the pontoon. Meijer's was close for shopping. The water in the lake was greenish in front, so not great for swimming. Overall, a great place to stay. Would consider renting it again.
The neighborhood is less than desirable but, the house is as cute as can be! It could use a few upgrades like a new can opener and more places to plug equipment in but overall, very nice and clean. The pontoon boat was not available and that is why we rented this one. There wasn’t any mention of this in the listing. The kitchen is very spacious and has many amenities. We would stay here again but maybe in warmer months.
All of us sisters/ nieces came in to relax before my baby sister got married. We enjoyed the lake and sitting around the fire. We made breakfast, lunch, and dinner and had enough pans for everything!! Communication with the property manager was on point. Can't wait to return.
The house is beautiful and it is wonderful to be right on the lake with a boat! The outside areas are not as nice as the house and could use some really good cleaning and updates but over all the place is fabulous!
It was a wonderful ladies weekend at this lake house. Unfortunately the weather was not the best but somehow sitting in the hot tub while raining makes up for it! The house was perfect for hanging out around the long counter/island with open concept into the livingroom. The boat was great to do a chilly ride around to check out the site. The beds were super comfy and the place was very clean. Would highly recommend!
The property is cute and quaint. The view of the water was hands down the best part!Unfortunately, it is not worth it for the price, especially since the pontoon boat was not available for use. That was not specified in the listing. Obviously it is too cold to swim this time of year, but we were looking forward to getting on the water! The house was clean enough, but there were several spots my group thought could have been tended to better (cobwebs, dust) The "fully stocked" kitchen was misleading as well, considering there wasn't olive oil, iodized salt, flour....Overall, we had a good time, but I would not come back for the experuence at the pricepoint
