- "The staff were amazing. Everybody was super friendly." - "Everything was A . Pleasant " - "It is a very nice and historical building. Lots of history that the staff is ready to tell you about. Nice rooms quaint and cozy. The restaurant and bar right there make it very easy to get a good meal or have a late night drink. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our 2 night stay. I will give one caveat ... On Friday night there was a DJ and the music was a bit loud until around midnight so if you stay on a night the DJ is in the bar it may be disturbing for a bit. Saturday night just the jukebox was on and wasn't too loud to sleep. Over-all a very nice place"

Ideal for couples, girlfriends, or a single person looking to unplug from it all and become one with nature. It is teaming with wildlife and is ideal for birding. I have been teaching contemplative walking meditations, offering life transition ceremonies and retreats here in this safe, sacred space for three decades. The restorative energy here is amazing. Many say they feel it as soon as they drive in the driveway! Imagine floating in the small, quiet lake that mirrors the clouds and natural shoreline of the trees. Around you fish are jumping, great heron live here, turtles sunning, birds fishing, dragonflies galore! So bring something to float on. It's 40 minutes away from Grand Rapids which is a fun city to explore. Rockford is 20 minutes and has nice boutiques, restaurants, and a park by the dam. You can rent bikes there for the White Pine Trail or canoes to go down the river. They drop you off and pick you up!

SLEEPS: 5
BEDROOMS: 2
BATHROOMS: 1
*LAKEFRONT (Horseshoe Lake, outside of Grand Rapids)
*SWIMMING ON PROPERTY
*2 KAYAKS INCLUDED (From Memorial Day to Labor Day)
This classic, old-school cottage is fun for small families, hunters, and fisherman. Located on the popular all-sports Horseshoe Lake about an hour east of Grand Rapids, the Little Blue Bungalow sleeps 5 guests in 2 bedrooms and has 1 bathroom. With a 24ft. private dock, you are able to bring your water vessels and dock them in view. And no worries trying to find a public launch, a private boat launch is just steps away. However, the property does come with 2 kayaks and a swimming raft! Although this property is located on Horseshoe Lake, you can access all 5 connecting lakes via waterway with a flat boat, canoe, or kayak, make a day's adventure for boaters!
Having a 3-seasoned screened-in porch with furniture allows you to enjoy the view in comfort. This home wouldn't be complete without a fire pit, charcoal grill, and picnic table to embrace the lake front views. In addition, the Little Blue Bungalow comes with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, water toys, board games, books, Wi-Fi, and a smart TV including Netflix and Hulu.
When it comes to suitability for multi-generational families, the area inside the cabin is absolutely ideal since it is a ranch setting, with just a few steps to reach the door facing the driveway. Still, if you want to walk down to the water's edge/ dock there is a significant incline. While there are small steps leading down to the water, there is NOT a railing. Please use caution. This walkway isn't suitable for anyone with balance concerns.

- "We were in town to close out a family’s estate and this cottage was a great retreat to recharge. The 3 season room was a peaceful spot to drink my coffee each morning." - "It was a really nice stay for a quick weekend away. All the amenities you need for a home away from home were included. The only suggestion is the washer in the bedroom needed to be cleaned. It made the room smell like mildew. The shower head needs to be updated as it has red and orange rust coming out of it and have the water looked at. We are used to well water, but it seemed like it needed to be checked. All and all we had a nice time and enjoyed the water and mini beach area."

Come enjoy Michigan at its finest on all sports and trophy fishing Murray Lake in our new million dollar home. Close to downtown Grand Rapids, MI, 30 minutes from the airport, and about an hour to Lake Michigan, this home is the perfect location for visitors or locals to just kick back and enjoy life.
We just finished renovating our home. Everything is new and up to date. The kitchen is fully-stocked and has all the features of a gourmet chef's dreams. Dishes, appliances, glasses are plenty and high end. In addition to the 8 seating dining table, there are more tables that can extend your seating. The fireplace has an original barn beam mantel and copper chimney. There are plenty of sitting/conversation areas throughout the home. And for the men and kids, there is a man cave with a large screen TV! Outdoors is a calming waterfall, large firepit, grassy lake side yard and beautiful clean sand....everything to make your stay perfect!
The home accommodates a maximum of 15 guests, whether visiting for the day or sleeping in the home. Our neighbors prefer no parties or larger groups than 15 people. We request that our guests respect this so we can continue to share our home with others on VRBO. Many communities have banned vacation rentals for this reason.
On a more positive note, we have a great dock for fishing and a swim raft on the edge of the drop off. There are paddle boards and kayaks at no additional charge. We do have a pontoon (and tube) available for rent, $1,400 for the week, plus gas.
If interested, we can put you in touch with either excellent catering companies or a personal chef, photographers, light maid service, baby sitters, life guards, or boat drivers. The lake is very clean and we have a fresh sandy beach steps from the home.
Nearby there are great bike paths, zip line, Lake Michigan beaches, Grand Rapids breweries, local farm produce and ice cream, and only 15 minutes to downtown Lowell, best ribs in Michigan or a quick 20 - 30 minutes to Grand Rapids.
***PLEASE NOTE: Our driveway accommodates 6 vehicles and street parking is not allowed. Absolutely no pets, bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings, or events allowed. No exceptions. ***
- "We had a lovely visit. A few things happened...one of the GFI outlets had to be replaced which my son was able to do, we saw a mouse and discovered old food in the basement. We set traps. Then the tornado storm hit very close to us in Kent County! The generator did not automatically come on so my sons had to work on it to discover the oil cap had not been secured by whomever worked on it prior to us. But in spite of these issues, our host was extremely responsive and tried very hard to make everything right. She worked with us at every step and tried to make sure we were taken care of. We had a wonderful time."

It's 3 - 4 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Lansing and 50 minutes from the Grand Rapids airport.
I live on the lake and there are only two other families on this lake. We have all been coming here since we were kids so it holds a special place in our hearts and we love the privacy and the beauty of this secluded lake. There are no gas motors and the lake is very clean with many springs keeping it that way.
It's on a peninsula surrounded by popular trees and the breezes always blow off from the small lake. This lake has no motors on it and is spring fed. It is connected to a larger lake by a channel.
Ideal for couples, girlfriends, or a single person looking to unplug from it all and become one with nature. It is teaming with wildlife and is ideal for birding.
I have been teaching contemplative walking meditations, offering life transition ceremonies and retreats here in this safe, sacred space for three decades. The restorative energy here is amazing. Many say they feel it as soon as they drive in the driveway!
Imagine floating in the small, quiet lake that mirrors the clouds and natural shoreline of the trees. Around you fish are jumping, great heron live here, turtles sunning, birds fishing, dragonflies galore! So bring something to float on.
It's 40 minutes away from Grand Rapids which is a fun city to explore. Rockford is 20 minutes and has nice boutiques, restaurants, and a park by the dam. You can rent bikes there for the White Pine Trail or canoes to go down the river. They drop you off and pick you up!
- "Peaceful, relaxing and clean stay. Fishing good. Scenery beautiful. Host ver pleasant and informative. Overall amazing stay." - "It's a beautiful wooded setting high atop a hill overlooking a private no-wake lake. I enjoyed daily viewing of many types of wildlife in their natural habitat. The trailer is perfect for one or two people with all the comforts of home: tv, microwave, stove, refrigerator/freezer, coffe maker, toaster, shower and even a closet. The hostess was very helpful too! An excellent place to rest and recharge."

- "We loved out stay at Nancy's cottage. It's right on the lake, and the description is exactly as expected. Great lake access, wonderful porch to sit on and relax. Very clean. Kitchen has all the essentials. Bedrooms were comfortable and simply equipped. Nothing fancy, just a comfy, cottage feel. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom and shower are great. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. Neighborhood was quiet and very friendly. Folks out walking waved as we drove by. Plenty of kids around, and the cottage is near a public park and what appears to be a public boat dock. Nancy has all the water toys you might want to use. We never did, but it's available. Highly recommend, and would love to stay at her place again in the future. Thank you so much!"

Owners were very easy to get ahold of and great with communicating and working with us. We hope to be back another time! We loved the location as we were not too far from Grand Rapids." - "Perfectly clean, perfectly comfortable. Highly recommend. We loved the sandy entrance to the lake, we went swimming and fishing almost everyday. We were very comfortable in the lake house and enjoyed the vast number of amenities. Lots of space to hang out inside or out. We especially enjoyed the shaded chairs on the beach. We rented a pontoon boat and it was super easy to tie up to the dock for the week.

- "Our stay at the Robert's lake house was great! The house was perfectly set up for spending a week at a lake house, from having all the kitchen amenities needed to the awesome kayaks & paddleboards available. Our 1 year old (& our lab) loved the water that they was able to hang out in safely with it being shallow near the beach. Having a fire “on the beach” was one of my favorite parts. You can tell the family takes good care of the house. We will definitely be back!"

- "Very nice loft and beautifully decorated outdoor areas to enjoy! Enough space for our family of 5. We loved the beach, kayaks/paddle boat/paddle boards/swim raft, gas fire pit area, tiki bar, and hot tub, and the floaties and life jackets that we could use. Appreciated the ice maker! The sleeping nook behind the master bed is so nice that our teenage kids all wanted that spot. Comfortable beds. Suggestions would be to add instructions for the neat shower, coffee pods for the keurig (love the chai/cocoa/cider though), curtain/blinds for the bedroom window, smaller faucet for the sink, foot bath for getting in the hot tub, dusting of cobwebs outside, and let guests of other house know if we have a designated area of the beach. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend the tiki loft! Thank you!"

- "This cozy bungalow worked perfect for our family of 5 as we had friends on the lake and were able to keep our boat at their home. Very clean, smelled fresh when we arrived. The kids loved the loft and 2/3 slept up there comfortably. The 'waterfront' was more like a channel (definitely not swimmable) but my kids enjoyed the wildlife and catching frogs. I liked sitting out in the morning having my cup of coffee. Wound rent again 😉 Thank you"
