Wonderful time with our family. The pontoon boat just completed our stay. Everything was clean and stocked with everything we might need. Fire ring with wood provided. Kayaks too. The owner was very available to explain our arrival and answer any questions. We hope to be able to come back next year.

Lovely last minute getaway

We came up for a long weekend getaway during the Fall and it was simply perfect. From extremely prompt and helpful responses throughout the process by property manager Kim as we planned a last minute getaway to the home having all the small details that make your stay more enjoyable to the extra bonus of having a pontoon boat on a gorgeous lake. Definitely be back!

Relaxing Getaway

We had such an amazing stay! The house was very clean, views were beautiful, and the hot tub and boat were great for our family. Having the boat on the property really made our trip. The hot tub is drained and refilled up before each guest arrives which is extremely nice. This was easily my family’s favorite vacation home we have booked. The hosts were also very responsive!

Mona Lake Cottage

Really enjoyed our 2 week stay in Pure Michigan. The cottage was just as described and fit our family perfectly. I must say having access to a pontoon sealed the deal on this VRBO. Thank you and hope to see you next year.

Mona Lake House

This was our second stay at this property. The location can’t be beat. The house is cozy, clean, well maintained and has anything you will need. The hosts are so friendly and helpful if any problem arises, however we had a perfect stay. The lake and pontoon are worth staying here alone, but you’ll love the house as well. We are already looking forward to our next stay here!

Lovely beach themed cottage near Grand Haven

The Beach House on Mona Lake was a perfect spot for our family vacation! It was newly remodeled and decorated with a lovely beach vibe. The brand new included pontoon boat was a fantastic bonus as were the Kayaks, fire pit, hot tub and lovely outdoor area. The lake was easy to navigate and not overly crowded.

Sibling get-away

This was the perfect place for 4 senior siblings to get together for a fairly quiet 4 day reunion, enjoy a peaceful setting on the lake and have recreational amenities close to the city. We would have enjoyed the lake, fire pit, boat, and hot tub if the weather had not turned very cold and rainy.

Don't look any where else in the Muskegon, Norton Shores area! This was a beautiful home, easy to communicate with the host, (so thoughtful), very clean home, has all utensils, cleaning products and even spices for your use. They even had a high chair and pack n play for the baby. It's a beautiful home, no brainer when looking for a peaceful place on a lake!!

Nice stay over July 4

House was very clean. The outside patio was indispensable for family meals for 5. The pontoon boat was in great shape and served us well for exploring the lake and finding swim spots. Lakeside location was terrific, although the neighborhood was a bit close together. We had terrific weather and the air conditioning helped during the heat of the day. Fire pit and hot tub are provided evening activities. Fun week!
