Pristine Waterfront Vacation Home On Desirable All-Sports Big Twin Lake

This deluxe vacation home has an open concept Living Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen with direct access to large deck to meet multiple families needs. A large luxurious Master Suite overlooks the lake with direct access to a deck perfect for entertaining/relaxing. Two additional main floor guest suites, 1 overlooking the lake share a beautifully renovated bathroom. A full feature laundry room off the foyer is available if needed.

An inviting Loft bedroom with twin bunk beds and "play nooks" is a perfect play-and-stay place for kids. The lower level features "up-north knotty pine" comfort with a great room space (2 sleeper sofa's if needed) and 2 bedroom suites. One bedroom suite features a spacious and deluxe twin Queen bed Suite with on-suite bathroom. The other Queen bedroom features knotty-pine ambiance with freshly renovated semi-private bathroom.

Please take advantage of the many water activities on the kayaks, paddle board, canoe and 14' fishing boat w/oars that are included. A full service dock with integrated patio is also included.
Be sure to ask the owner about multiple watersport toys available for rent separately (24' Pontoon w/90hp, outboard for the 14' fishing boat). The owner has been known to offer sea-doo and ski-boat rides to guests, availability is just a phone call away (or flag Matt down on the lake).

The Winter season is just as amazing as summer. Your located directly in the “Snow Belt” so abundant snow is available when other areas are lacking. Snowmobile trails are easily accessible.

Also, many ski resorts (Shanty Creek/Schuss Mtn, Boyne, Hanson Hills, Tree-tops, Hickory Hills, Mount Holiday) and cross-country trails are a short drive away.

This is truly a WinterWaterWonderland.

Family Vacation
This was a great place for us to stay with our family of 11. Plenty of space, bright and clean, and a wonderful view of the lake. Our youngest three grandchildren enjoyed the water every day and the rest of us most of the days. Matt was very helpful and a gracious host.

Love the spaciousness, plenty of room for 7 adults and 5 kids. The lake is crystal clear. Only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Grand Rapids. Kayaks, paddleboard, etc., provided. This was our 2nd year in a row to rent this house, and hope to return.

Great place, house is excellent. Only thing I would suggest is upgrading the queen mattresses, various family members said they were bad to sleep on. Other than that, FANTASTIC!
