NOTE: Between Memorial Day and Labor day We typically 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) the following Saturday.

PONTOON BOAT: We have an optional pontoon boat to rent (not included in the VRBO rate) for the week of your stay for experienced boaters. Rate is $600 for the week. For 2026, the pontoon boat provided will have either a40 hp or 70 hp motor. We do not allow tubing ,pulling of passengers or skiing off either boat.

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. Escape the sun and enjoy the covered Pavilion on the deck (not in photos), swimming with a gradual drop off that adults can view right on a very gentle sloping property, watch the sunning turtles on the turtle raft next door or fish right off your private, vinyl lake dock that has a bench on it. 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 Flex Steel 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 with modern appliances. 2 pedal pontoon boats and multiple 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.

Quartz countertops and updated kitchen appliances. A Pavilion on the deck gives comforting shade.

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 (there may be 2 of these) 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. An ideal location with restaurants nearby and a Meijer grocery store less than 10 minutes away.

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 (plus 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 for experienced boaters. 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 (for rent separately) while enjoying a favorite beverage.

5) Making memories with family.

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

    This is the very best house we have stayed at. We have rented large ocean front property in Myrtle Beach but I would choose this property over any other. The house is extremely clean, has all the supplies you would ever need. Having the use of the kayaks and pedal boat was loved by everyone. We hope to be able to come back again.

    We had an incredible time staying at this beautiful lakefront property during late May. We had 3 families, 10 people total with 4 kids ranging from 3 to 8 years old. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and water, fishing off the dock, kayaking and pedal boating. It was nice to have 2 kayaks and 2 pedal boats so everyone could explore the lake together. We liked how the waters around the beach are shallow for the kids to be able to play in the water safely. The house is across from a small island which is fun to cruise over to and explore. There was a ton of wildlife to watch including ducks, geese with goslings, and turtles and blooming water lilies to enjoy along the shoreline. Our 8 yr old learned to fish right off the dock with turkey lunch meat as bait and caught numerous blue gill and bass. The house is clean and comfortable and Dan was very friendly and helpful. Loved the ramada on the upper deck for shade from the sun or rain. The house is close to a grocery store and corner market. Highly recommend! Would love to stay here again in the future.

    Everything was as described or better. Our kitchen was overstocked with anything you would need to feed a large family. We only had 3 adults. The neighbors were quiet and friendly. Also helped us get started with using the paddle boats. we were 3 ladies over 65 and had no issues using the boats or accessing the home. Host was very responsive with any questions we had. Would also be a great place for a young family.

    It was just what we expected. Pretty lake house… loved using the boat as well and the paddle boats and kayaks! Loved the big dining room table to eat and play cards and games at each night! Beds were very firm.

    Everything was great, communication was excellent, the house was inviting. It was wonderful to wake up in the morning with the large windows at the back of the house to look out onto the lake.

    We had a wonderful time. Dan, the host, couldn't have been nicer. The home is so well equipped we bought kitchen things that we didn't need to use because the kitchen was so well equipped right down to storage containers for leftovers! Beds were super comfy and the living, dining kitchen area is all open which was great. Lake wasn't too busy and we enjoyed all the toys that came with the house. Grands loved the fishing! Rained a couple days which gave us all a break from the sun. The deck provided both sun and shade which we appreciated. One tiny suggestion would be the firepit placement. We worried it was too close to the deck and think it would be better suited a bit farther from the deck. We will definitely come back to Dan's place, I strongly recommend it to other families too!
