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!

Beach and View Truly Special
Thank you for a warm and welcoming stay. Kitchen well equipped and very pretty, we were on the deck all the time for dining and conversations, internet and TVs worked great, kayaks fun, beach shallow for our 2 year old nephew who visited as well as the beach toys and swing set, sunset perfect. We lucked into the 4th of July fireworks on the lake too, truly special.

Great Stay
We had a family group of 10 people stay at the house and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed spending time outside on the deck that was shaded by a large tree and the water was very warm. Theake was active but not too active to prevent swimming and paddle boards.

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.

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!

Beautiful Home with a Lovely View
This is a beautiful and family friendly home. The home is well designed, recently updated, and exceptionally clean. The kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials (we made our traditional Thanksgiving dinner while we stayed). We enjoyed the hot tub, BBQ grill, and the bean bag games. The owners made great use of the available space and we didn't feel crowded at all even with 6 of us. The beds and furniture we comfortable and clean. If you're looking for a place that's large enough for a family, has a beautiful lake view and is spotlessly clean, choose this home. We'll definitely return if we're in the area.

Wonderful House
We enjoyed our stay at Murray Lake house and recommend it for others. The house was very nice with open floor plan. It was very nicely finished, very clean and roomy. We had fresh snow and the driveway and walks were cleared daily which was great. The lake was very beautiful to view.

Family holiday
The home on Murray Lake is beautiful. The great room was such a hit for the kids and the kitchen was amazing! Brandon was very responsive and was a great host. The beach was definitely more mucky than we like and we would have LOVED a ladder to climb after swimming off the end of the dock!

beautiful view
In consideration of having to pay a cleaning fee, I was disappointed that the first day there was distressing due to: no propane and a grill that needed to be cleaned, clogged shower, outside needed to be swept. Overall, nice remodeled kitchen, nice deck and out back porch, nice beach area. Kayaks were fun

Great place to stay!
We had an absolute blast with our family (7 adults / 4 kids under the age of 6) staying at this lakeside property for a week. Brandon was a great host, and has done a great job with a recent house renovation as it felt like a new house! Plenty of space for all, great private beach & pier plus a hot tub! If you are looking for a lakeside stay on a beautiful lake in Michigan, look no further and book here.

There were 6 of us who stayed here. We loved the house and the location. The view of the water was so peaceful. The breeze was amazing. My son & his friend enjoyed the kayaks and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The house needed at least one more bathroom to suit our needs. Overall a wonderful relaxing vacation.

This is a beautifully appointed property, obviously loved, not overdone, spacious and well laid out without being an overwhelming amount of "luxury square footage", very manageable with a large family on a lovely, clean, placid lake in a beautiful neighborhood. We treasured every moment of our stay - 6 kids, two parents, and an excited Grandma!
