For the integrity of the lake, it is sprayed for Swimmer's Itch/and or Weed Control, in which requires a 24 hour no swim rule. The spraying of the lake dates is unknown (due to many factors by the environmental company) and out of our control. **

Our visit
It was fine.We left a bunch of sand toys that I hope future little guests can use. Also,I lost my watch somewhere on the property,I have no idea where,so if someone finds it can you please let us know? It’s an inexpensive Timex or Acutron but I’ve had it for a long time so I’m disappointed about losing it.Thanks.

Good time with family/friends
We enjoyed our stay overall. The property was just as listed, close to neighbors but they were friendly. As others have stated, the owner does have more house rules than prior houses we have stayed at. The house was clean for the most part, but we were surprised to find sand/dirt underneath rugs given the rules about cleanliness. There were a couple of broken items upon our entry, but the owner was responsive and said they would be taken care of. We enjoyed the row/paddle boats, fishing off the dock, and parks and sand dunes nearby to visit.

Beautiful lake
Very comfortable place for our girls weekend with 4 of us, open kitchen/bar seating and looking over the living room & out to the lake. Everything was as expected, hot tub was a great bonus as our weekend was a little cooler than expected and we didn't indulge in the lake too much! One bedroom and 1.5 baths upstairs, other bed options are on lower level with walkout basement.

Rules and watched
Cottage was nice, beachfront was nice. Had children and grand children over for approximately 5 hours on Sunday. We were outside until the rain started. Received a nasty email stating I had too many people over and VRBO would be canceling the contract. Only 3 people spent the night. Never heard from VRBO but that put a bad taste in my mouth. Nonetheless, there are rules for fires, quiet time, hot tub, grill. There’s only 1 propane tank so if it runs out you have to have it refilled ( she will reimburse you after you get her the receipt) seems like a second tank is not too much to ask! Nice place though

Nice week
Overall, we had a good experience. Kayaks are showing some age. When packing up to leave was looking for a lost item, and found someone else's left behind clothes behind the fireplace. Maybe could be cleaned a little better. Also could use some extra kitchen towels.

House is nice
The house was nice to stay at. Location was in a nice area. We enjoyed our stay but did notice it was dirty under the couches which only mattered to us because of our baby and kids toys getting very dirty. Disappointed that we were charged for damage we did not cause. The owner messaged and asked us what happened to a kitchen chair. We noticed but did not report this damage because we did not think anything of it. After sending us text messages proving to us that the people who stayed before us damaged the house we were very frustrated to be blamed. I would recommend noting and reporting any damage when you first to arrive to protect yourself.

Nice week long vacation
The house was very well equipped. Internet was good. Beds were very comfortable. The lake was great for swimming and fishing. The kids and I caught several bluegill, sunfish, perch and bass. The lake toys were used often. The only suggestion I have is having a 1/2 bath in the basement. Long walk upstairs if you have to go at night. Overall, it was a very nice stay that I would recommend to anyone.

Compact cottage on Twin Lake has all the necessities
My husband & I enjoyed a long weekend at the cottage in early September. While not large, the bed and couches we all very comfortable , the kitchen had everything needed and the view was beautiful. Being close to both Lake Michigan and Lake Muskegon expands opportunities to explore. My only negative observation is that there was a very long list of “house rules,” - much longer than the many other places we have stayed.

Great Family Vacation!
Our family travels to Muskegon every summer and this by far the best inland lake we have stayed on. The water was clear, warm, and there was a shallow entrance and sand for my small children to play on. It is a perfect spot for small children-there is a park near by and ice cream shop. Overall, the cottage was perfect and had everything we could have asked for. It was clean and we'll organized when we arrived. My only hesitation, was the rule book we received prior to attending and the personal notes with warnings of potential financial reprimands if my children broke things. It was by far the most detailed/extensive contract we have ever received when renting a cottage.

Fantastic size for 6-8 people, especially if some are kids. We had an amazing family vacation here...the lake view from the deck every morning and the lake access were so lovely. Our kids rarely left the water. The house was nice and well-stocked. Lots to do in the general area. Would love to come back.

RELAX at the LAKE! Second time here, and will come back again
This was our second stay at this property. We loved it just as much as before. The house is sparkling clean and well-equipped. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen bar is great for eating or working puzzles. We used the grill almost daily. The deck is great for sitting any time of day with trees that shade it most times. More seating on patio and at beach...take your pick! Bonfire pit is fun, we of course had s'mores. The beach area is sandy and clean (no weeds quite far out) and the lake is clear. It is very kid/family friendly. Bring inflatable floats! The area is quiet and relaxing. Kayaking at this lake is great for beginners or those up for a longer paddle. We went around the island most days. Saw the eagle and ducks daily. We barely left the lake as the weather was perfect. We just went out for ice cream several times, and breakfast at Overboard Inn.

House was nice and clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and linens. Bring extra toilet paper with you though. The weather was great and we really enjoyed the lake. I would include in your property description ALL of the rules you have, because they're pretty lengthy. I would also question if you really want a sandy beach area if you're going to insist they're be absolutely no sand in the house. Overall, we had a good time and our kids loved being right on the lake.

Perfect Lake Retreat
The minute we walked thru the door we felt right at home. View of the lake thru huge glass doors was beautiful and serene. We saw bald eagle, loons, and even an otter! Cold and rainy but we managed a boat ride, hiking and wineries. Cottage provides everything from movies, games and kitchen equipment. We would love to return during warmer months.
