Lake Home-Pedal Boat/Kayaks/Fire Pit/Central Air/Optional Pontoon Boat Rental

NOTE: Between Memorial Day and Labor day We only book full weeks (exception is Immediately after Memorial Day weekend and immediately before Labor day weekend) with a Saturday arrival date (Check in in 4PM or after, Checkout 10:30 AM).

Vacation how it is meant to be. Right on the lake sandy bottom private beach frontage. Our lot has 60 feet of frontage so you won't be sandwiched between two other lake homes. Enjoy the covered Pavilion on the deck, swimming in front with a gradual drop off that adults can view right on a very gentle sloping property, watch the sunning turtles on the turtle raft or fish right off your private, vinyl topped lake dock. Built new in 2000, this is a home that feels like your home is at the lake. Built with the modern comforts of Central A/C and ceiling fans, enjoy the Flexsteel Leather sofa, open floor plan with 9 foot ceilings, Xfinity Internet (their highest speed) with hundreds of channels of Xfinity Cable TV and a well laid out kitchen. PONTOON BOAT IS FOR RENT SEPARATELY TO EXPERIENCED BOATERS (owner will send 2 contracts, one for cottage and 1 for pontoon boat) and available other weeks at a cost of $150 per day (minimum 3 consecutive days or $600 for the full week) until approximately mid September. A pedal pontoon boat and 2 kayaks are included at no extra charges. Twin Lake is a 112 acre All Sports lake with a nice sandy bottom for swimming located 15 minutes from Downtown Muskegon.

Please note that many updates have occurred since the online photos, including additional kitchen cupboards, Quartz countertops and a much more updated kitchen appliances.

1536 square feet of living area above grade, (the true way to measure square footage) so no scary or musty basement to send the young kids to sleep in and 2 full baths. There is 60 feet of private frontage (great not to be sandwiched next to neighbors), no steep hills to navigate to the water and no homes across the paved road . There is an open concept main floor plan with 9 foot ceilings and the primary bedroom with its plush King bed the only bedroom on this level . Home has Central air, a pontoon style pedalboat big enough for adults and is less than 15 minutes to downtown Muskegon, very popular Michigan Adventure Amusement Park and 30 minutes to the Port City Princess, Lake Michigan beaches and dozens of public golf courses. An open floor plan, Xfinity/Comcast cable and WIFI included, hardwood floors, central air and five ceiling fans will make a cool vacation. Very kid friendly with a deck and large windows to allow adults to keep an eye on the young ones .

The Lake has bass, pike and pan fish. A Serta IComfort King bed is located on the main floor plus 4 quality queen beds (NO sleeper sofas, air mattresses or bunk beds for for the kids to fall off) on the second floor and a fire pit that was relocated closer to the main deck. (not in photos). We are on the quiet side of the lake only about 185 yards to an island which is perfect for kids to play on (water shoes are recommended). The island also shields the noise of power boats and Seadoos (our lot is very near a No Wake zone), both of which spend all their time speeding on the other side of the island.

We average 70% repeat renters each summer and lots of good comments about there being so much to do. We have a Weber grill and we are only a short walk to a public park. A great place to build family memories.

This cottage built in 2000 with optional 20 foot pontoon boat. Every year we have very good comments that it is clean upon arrival and how nice it is. Horse shoes (shared with neighboring property) and a fire pit are other features we failed to mention. Muskegon, with its proximity to Lake Michigan, is not as hot as many areas of West Michigan. The main floor was repainted in 2017 and a nice propane Weber grill assures you great cookouts. Unlike some owners our weekly price includes taxes.

NOTE: The dock is seasonal and only guaranteed to be in the lake between May 20th and until the last September weekend. Contact owner if you have questions regarding this that may impact your stay.

WE ARE A NO EVENTS HOME: Please note our home is in a family neighborhood and respecting our neighbors is very important to us. Family reunions, graduation parties, weddings and other similar events are not allowed. We are okay if there are 5 or less extra vehicles at the property, not to exceed one day of your stay, and the small get together party is over and short term guests have left by 11PM. If you are looking for a place to host an event, it is very appreciated if you look elsewhere. Like many inland lakes in Michigan, Twin Lake has occasional weeks that the lake is sprayed for Swimmer's itch or weeds. In that event, signs will be posted not to swim for 24 hours. As owners, we do not control exact dates of treatments and we have personally allowed swimming for our family members the following day.

What are our 5 favorite casual things to do on vacation here?

1) Relax and fish on the bench at the end of the dock. Whether with family or just enjoying the moment, what better place to enjoy a quiet or family moment. Our lake dock is all vinyl and has a has an 8' x 10' area at the end so you can truly enjoy it.

2) From the deck, watch the turtles on the turtle raft, the bass and various water birds feed in the AM, and playing cards or just reading a book.

3) Walk to the County Park to enjoy an ice cream cone and play video games.

4) Have lunch or dinner on the pontoon boat while enjoying a favorite beverage.

5) Making memories with family.

At the end of the week, the only sad part will be leaving.
