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.

Beautiful view, clean roomy home
This 6 bedroom 4 bath home had a lot of space for our large family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. There are plenty of games, a well stocked kitchen, large windows overlooking the lake, kayaks, a row boat, a canoe, 2 bikes, and a jacuzzi tub. There was plenty of parking for our 5 vehicles. The owner lives across the lake. He brought extra life jackets over as soon as we asked. He replaced a bike when an issue arose. The home is super clean with enough supplies but no clutter. We discovered Ausable Institute of Environmental Studies just a short walk down the road with acres of public trails which was beautiful with the autumn colors. The area has several similar high end homes. Great 'up north' feel.

ORV Vacation
Picked this property because of it’s central location to the orv trails our group of 11 wanted to ride. The house fit us perfectly, the setting was beautiful, the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Matt and Laura were fantastic with communication, always very quick to respond. I would have absolutely no reservations about staying here again.

Michigan lake fun with family
We had a wonderful week. Everyone is trying to figure out when we can do it again! Matt and Laura were great hosts. So responsive to any issues that came up. Adding the pontoon boat to our reservation was a smart move for us. With little kids, it provided even more time outside. And the whole family could join in. The house had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfortable and the spaces really fit our crew. The lake itself was amazing—clear clean water, perfect for jumping into. Being there for the 4th of July added to the fun. Best fireworks show all around the lake. Thanks for a fun week!

Family Vacation 2023
We had an excellent time. The lake was beautiful. Crystal clear and very fun. We loved the deck right on the water. We rented the pontoon boat that was perfect for cruising around the lake with the whole family. This property had everything you need. We only needed to bring our clothes, beach towels and food. Everything else was waiting for us. The owners are super nice, helpful and on-call to answer any questions throughout our stay. The place was very clean and laid out really well. Thank you, Matt and Laura for a great stay!!

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.

Great lake vacation spot
Ideal place for a family vacation! The house is large so perfect for multiple family units with everyone having their own area. We had adult children along with young grandchildren so it was an ideal setup. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, utensils, pots and pans, etc. We enjoyed the great view of the lake and the deck and patio areas were wonderful as well as the dock. Loved the chairs on the dock, too! Great place to hang out and relax and take in the lake views. We also rented the pontoon boat and loved spending time on that. Matt and Laura have done a great job of providing a very comfortable place for a family vacation! Already have booked for a week next summer!

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.

Amazing vacation home
This home is amazing! When we arrived a few minutes early Matt was there doing some last minute things. He was welcoming, kind and helpful. The house is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. All of the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is supplied with all the dishes and utensils needed for our family of 14. Our family enjoyed the popcorn popper in the evening. The lake is quiet and peaceful. We rented the pontoon also and enjoyed it a lot. Our son brought his fishing boat and caught a lot of fish. He does catch and release so we didn’t get to eat any but he sure enjoyed catching them. With a beautiful lake, a beautiful home, and excellent hosts, it doesn’t get any better!
