About this property

Luxury Gun Lake 4 Bed 2 Bath Home W/paddleboards/kayaks, Free Wi-fi

Sprawling year round 1500 sq ft 4 bed 2 bath waterfront ranch style home that sleeps up to 8 adults with 12 people total, and no more than 3 vehicles total allowed (per township short term rental rules). There are 2 rooms with a king size bed, 1 room woth 2 Queen size beds and one room with 1 Queen size bed, all on the shortest channel of famous all-sports 2680 acre Gun Lake, the largest inland lake in West Michigan. This is the perfect quiet vacation getaway and great place make memories! All you need to bring are your food, clothing and personal toiletries (toothbrushes, toothpaste, shavers, etc), fishing gear if you fish, a boat if warm season and you have a boat, and you're good to go!

Gun Lake is extremely popular for competition fishing, pleasure boating, skiing, tubing, and swimming off a boat or at one of the public beaches. There is a nice yard and 2 decks as well as a 10' deep 40' long boardwalk to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle, fish with poles or nets, feed the ducks, geese, sparrows, sea gulls, swans, watch turtles, kayak, paddle board, or take your boat out and enjoy the lake life every day!

This custom home features a sunken master bedroom with an accessible bathroom for all guests even though it is in the master suite, it is on the same level as the rest of the bedrooms and no steps in or out of it. So if accessibility is needed just know the only steps inside the house at all or two steps down into the master bedroom at self. The sunken master suite, living room, kitchen and waterfront bedroom all have cathedral ceilings and both bathrooms have solid surface stone (Granite & Marble) countertops and the master has a luxury Italian Tile shower as well.

The living room is spacious and the main floor features all new super insulated cathedral ceilings. Every bedroom has a flat screen TV. The entire main floor living room/dining room/kitchen has luxury vinyl plank flooring, and all bedrooms have new carpeting.

The kitchen features underlit maple cabinetry with glazed cabinets, all new stainless steel appliances, and almost anything you can think of at your own home, from the waffle maker to the griddle for pancakes, to the coffee maker, to silverware and all the spices and such for cooking so you don't need to bring all of that, just the food!

There are several decks and also a patio set and grill for enjoying the evening with friends! There is a 40' waterfront boardwalk and seawall is perfect for fishing off of, or mooring your boat whether you own or rent one from one of the boat rental business on the lake.

The new laundry area off the entry hallway, brand new front end loading washer and dryer as well as detergent and fabric softener supplied for you, so no need to ever visit a laundromat while staying here. We also have everything like washcloths, body shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

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

For Spring/Summer/Fall guests there are also 2 paddle boards and 2 one person kayaks that are shared with the house next door owned by the same owner! There is also a fire pit area great for cooking hot dogs and marshmallows. Expecting guests? Not a problem! One vehicle can have the carport and several other vehicles will fit in the parking area as well.

For winter guests the ice can be great for skating and ice fishing if it has been below freezing at least 2 straight weeks before your stay, just make sure it is solid and take all necessary precautions like wearing a provided life vest over your coat just to ensure safety. Also the check in time in the winter can be flexible on dates when there is nobody scheduled to stay at the house the night before so we don’t have a same-day turnover. 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.

The property Location is 12970 Hazel Dr, Wayland MI 49348 if you want to see where it is on a map. This is often helpful to know for mapping and distance purposes when traveling. We just had an opening come up from July 7-10 so if you are looking for one of the best weeks of the year you are good to go if you book today!

Wonderful stay, excellent host!
We had an amazing stay at this property and the booking next door. Everything was seamless, from the booking to communicating with the host to the check-in and out. We got to use the kayaks and paddle boards, so fun! We even extended the stay last-minute without any delays from the host. Thanks for making the trip a wonderful experience. I highly recommend working with 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 is Sally and I met in college here in West Michigan but she is from West Lafayette, Indiana and I grew up in Colorado, Florida, Michigan and then primarily the Chicago area. 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.

We also own the property next door (HomeAway and VRBO Property #4479459) and have loved Gun Lake and all the memories we have made so far. Sally and I have been married now for 27 years and have been blessed with 6 amazing kids and just love spending time with them, and as they grow we won't all fit in one house which is why we have these cottages side by side. 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 either house 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

We just purchased this property in January 2019 as a 2 bed 1 bath home and put on an addition and totally remodeled it into the 4 bed, 2 bath home it is now. We have had such an overwhelming response to renting out our cottage next door and a number of folks have said that if we had any other homes as nice as that one they would rent them and there are often times when people have needed more than one place for large gatherings. Ever since we bought the property next door this home impressed us as one that we would be proud to own and now that the work is done it is finally available to others to enjoy also.

What makes this property unique

This house has some great features. It is all main floor, there are two steps up to the front door and 2 steps in the master suite as it is a large sunken master suite, but primarily all is on the same level for easy access. There is main floor laundry, plenty of parking, and lots of space to entertain friends in the yard and on the deck, boardwalk, and obviously out on the big water. This lagoon (the size of a short & wide channel exactly 12 houses long) is a favorite of those that love to fish as it is very quiet and only the fishers, ducks, and tons of fish seem to find their way into it so not a lot of traffic or waves, and it is primarily owner occupant properties around the water so they all help look after the place. The lake is very fun and a great place to make memories!
