About this property

Gun lake 4 Bed 2.5 Bath Home w/2 car garage, kayaks, paddleboards, free Wi-Fi

Sprawling 2000 sq ft 4 bed 2.5 bath waterfront luxury ranch style home that sleeps up to 11 and all on a wide channel leading to famous all-sports 2680 acre Gun Lake, the largest inland lake in West Michigan. This Gun Lake neighborhood home is the perfect quiet vacation getaway and great place make memories!

All you need to bring are your food, clothing and personal items (toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver, etc), fishing gear if you fish, a boat if you have a boat or plan on renting one on the lake, and you're good to go!

Gun Lake is extremely popular for competition fishing, pleasure boating, skiing, tubing, and swimming off the small beach we have at the house in the extra wide channel or off a boat or at one of the public beaches on the lake. There is a large yard, private deck as well as a private dock to enjoy the quiet waterfront lifestyle relaxing on the deck or on the boardwalk watching the fish and ducks. If staying in the warm months, you can use the kayaks, paddleboards, or moor a boat at the dock as there are both cleats and bumpers ready for you in the extra wide channel.

The living room boasts cathedral ceilings and is spacious and opens up to the dining area/Kitchen. The kitchen features all new top of the line stainless steel appliances, solid surface countertops, breakfast bar with stools, and dining area. The kitchen is stocked with almost anything at your own home, from the waffle maker to the griddle for pancakes, to the coffee maker, to silverware and all the plates and cups and other utensils and such you would expect..

There are 3 bedrooms that have king size beds and also each have a dresser, night stand, lamp, flat screen smart TV's, new carpeting. closet and ceiling fan for relaxing on vacation. The 4th bedroom/family room is off the kitchen and features not just a bunk bed but also a twin size bed, and a queen size hide-a-bed couch and a Roku TV.

The large deck is great for relaxing in the shade as it is on the N side of the house away from the sun and even has a natural gas grill for making burgers or sizzling up some steaks or fish and enjoying the relaxing waterfront neighborhood atmosphere.

The washer and dryer are there for you to use as well as detergent and fabric softener, so no need to ever visit a laundromat while staying here and you don't need to bring cleaning supplies. We also have everything like washcloths, body shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

There is Charter Spectrum high speed Wi-Fi so you can watch streaming movies or TV shows or get work done while everyone is out on the lake in the warm months or while skiing or ice fishing in the winter.

For Spring/Summer/Fall guests there are 2 paddle boards, 2 one person kayaks and a 2 person canoe that are by the beach area awaiting captains! There is also a fire pit area great for cooking hot dogs and marshmallows.

We have an indoor hot tub as well (not pictured) that is available for winter guests (Oct thru March) on a case by case basis with a $50 fee per trip just because of the work involved filling and emptying it and the water is only good for 2 days.

For winter guests the ice is great for skating and ice fishing, just make sure it is solid and take all necessary precautions like wearing a provided life vest over your coat and don't ever do it alone just to ensure safety. For those planning to ski at one of the nearby ski resorts, just know that by car Bittersweet Ski Resort is only 22 miles or 28 minutes away, and Timber Ridge is only 26 miles or 34 minutes away. As long as the nights are below freezing these resorts make their own snow and usually are open and everyone has a great time.

Great Family Vacation Spot!

The house has clean, uncluttered and comfortable living space, tidy bathrooms, comfortable king-size beds in the primary bedrooms, plenty of hooks where you need them, and an easy kitchen to cook in and prepare food. The yard had a nice deck, shade trees and sunny areas providing plenty of space to relax and launch the kayaks, and enjoy the fire pit. Gun Lake is a large and deep lake which made fishing great; large mouth bass and northerns were the largest catches, with blue gills and perch the easy catches. Having a marina right on the lake made pontoon rental a breeze. The Russo’s Pizzeria, very nearby, was another great resource in the area! All this provided a great family vacation spot.

4th of July vacation

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and John was a great host and very responsive. We had 9 in our party (6 adults and 3 kids), and the house had plenty of space for us all. I would suggest a bigger patio table and a couple of outdoor lounge chairs to complete the outdoor entertainment space, but all in all, a great place to stay with the family! Thanks John for a wonderful home away from home!

Great Place on the channel

It was a very nice area and being on the channel was great!!! And the owners and their daughter are very sweet people, forgot my IPAD and the host delivered the next day because he was coming through my area. Thanks again for that. I will definitely be back to stay here and a little bit longer so I can enjoy all the toys for the lake.

Spring Fling 2024

The Home was exceptionally clean. Plenty of beds, towels, kitchen ware etc. We would definately rent again. We did have trouble with the TV in the living room. We were unable to use WiFi to stream a movie from Amazon Prime. This was partly my fault, I should have contacted John when we first arrived. This is a perfect place to stay.

Great, homey spot for a family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was clean, had a great layout and fit our family well. It was easy to dock our boat. Fires in the evenings were cozy. All the bedrooms were nicely decorated. The only thing was the somewhat unexpected list of lengthy house rules upon check in - but they were easy to adhere to. Would stay here again. Host was very easy to communicate with and was always available. Thanks!

Book here - you won't be disappointed

We had a great time at this rental!! It had everything we needed, the location was great, we rented a boat and tied up at their pier, used the kayak, enjoyed the hot tub. You know how some places offer you a thimble full of supplies (dish soap, paper towels, laundry soap, etc) when you get there? Well that won't happen here. The owner seems to care about our experience and we had everything we needed. Nice quiet neighborhood, great deck. We bought wood but didn't get a chance to use the fire pit - maybe next time. Owner was responsive. We would absolutely rent again. Thanks, John.

About the host

Hosted by John Cremer

Host profile image
My name is John Cremer and I'm a Realtor with Five Star Real Estate. My wife Sally and I met in college here in West Michigan. Sally is from West Lafayette, Indiana and I grew up in Colorado, Florida, Michigan and then primarily the Chicago area from ages 10-18. As kids, my family vacationed in Michigan, and my favorite memories are right here on Gun Lake. When we got married we settled down here in West Michigan and just love it here. We try to bring the best of vacationing in Michigan to life for guests. The photo above is my brother and sister and our dad as we all spent time at the house with our families.

We also own several other properties on the lake (VRBO Property #7497835 and 4479459) and have loved Gun Lake and all the memories we have made so far over the years. Sally and I have been married now for 26 years and have been blessed with 6 amazing kids who love to come to the lake. We reserve the dates we need each summer and allow others to enjoy the rest and we are excited to know that our guests at our houses are making great lasting memories. We look forward to hearing about your vacation and all the fun memories you made as well!

Why they chose this property

When we went through this home we fell in love with it but we can't be there all the time so we want to make sure it is enjoyed.by guests that are looking for a great vacation spot.

What makes this property unique

This house is basically all on one level on the main floor once inside. There are only two steps up to the front door or door in the family room/4th bedroom into the kitchen area. All hallways & entry doors as well as the sliders are 3 ft wide, and the main floor master suite has step-in shower. There is main floor laundry, huge driveway, and lots of space to relax inside and on the deck and obviously out on the open water which is only a short pontoon ride away. This channel is very quiet and there is not a lot of boat traffic or waves, and it is primarily owner occupant properties around. The lake is very fun and a great place to make memories!
