This cottage was sparkling clean and comfortably furnished. Owners were available at all hours to answer our questions and help us troubleshoot the hot tub temp. We definitely look forward to coming back again!
Excellent host and location on Mona lake. It was a perfect choice for our annual fall break. Highlights included the hot tub and pontoon boat. Would definitely return again!
Loved our stay. Owners were very accommodating, house was perfect for teenagers and older family members who needed a main floor bedroom. House had all we needed to cook in, and location is great for going out. Pontoon was perfect for fun and relaxing. Highly recommend!
Property was exactly as pictured. Perfect spot for a family getaway woth our friends and family from Cjicago. Two families with 4 kids and the place was perfect. Good location on the lake and close to any stores (Meijer, sbux, etc). Very nice boat was a nice benefit also!
What a great house and property. We enjoyed the boat and hot tub. The property was close to the beach and we enjoyed hanging outside as well. Would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a place in and around Muskegon
It was a very nice getaway for our family. Comfortable beds, kitchen that had everything we needed, gas grill, hot tub, fire pit and of course enjoyed the pontoon boat. Weather was wonderful - only thing missing was catching some big fish!😀
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.
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!
Everything was beautiful! The house, decor, layout, it all made for a wonderful weekend getaway with the family. We all enjoyed ourselves. The view of the lake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Communication was amazing! We will definitely be back!
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!
This property is amazing! The house was extremely clean, and the pontoon boat was wonderful! We loved the fans in all of the bedrooms, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The layout of the house is PERFECT for hanging out and having fun. The kitchen had everything we could ask for and the outdoor living space is lovely! The neighbors were friendly, and we felt VERY safe. We had the PERFECT weekend!!!
I am so thankful we chose this property. They are such kind and considerate people. When we had a problem they were so timely in response and willing to talk things through.
What a wonderful property. I hope all who stay here have such a wonderful time .
Everything about the house was perfect and just as described. Property manager Kim was super quick in responding. Pontoon and hot tub were best perks. Thank you so much for sharing the house. Also the proximity of the house from Lake Michigan & restaurants and breakfast was cherry on top.
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.
A nice little cottage on Lake Mona. It has everything you might need for a home a away from home. The hosts graciously supplied all sundries that you may need for a week long stay (cleaners, laundry detergent, paper products). The house was tastefully decorated and the beds are comfortable. The best part of this rental is by far the lakefront access and the pontoon boat. Our family loves to fish so this was a perfect bonus. The rental is within 15 minutes of Pere Marquette beach which we loved. A must see is "The Deck" restaurant that features a new band each night at the beach. Overall a great place to stay.
We got checked in fine, and the hosts were great with the pre check in process. Stayed one night and had a hellacious storm roll through early our first morning. Lost power, most of the town lost power. The pontoon saved the trip for us. We went out on the boat and spent the day on the water, the hosts were gracious enough to be in communication with us for throughout the outage, they brought battery powered lights, games, for the kids and after the 2nd day with no power we had mentioned a generator for the fridge because of the meat we had brought from home and all the sudden they showed up with a generator. Anything we asked for they were able to provide, we did miss out on the hot tub for a few days but given the heat the day was providing it was just fine. Our two kids had a great time fishing and swimming and just boating and reading. All in all the owners did as much as they possibly good and we thanked them repeatedly for their efforts. Anything they could do, they took time out of their day and did. We had a great trip even considering the poor situation we were all dealt.
Perfect for our girls weekend! We had the best time and the hot tub and boat was fantastic! The views of the lake and outdoor seating options was so nice. The house was so cute and clean and the host was responsive and helpful with great recommendations! Will stay again!
Perfect place for a family weekend. Home is extremely clean, kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook. The view is great and being able to enjoy cruising on the pontoon was terrific.
The rental was amazing! The house was beautiful and having the pontoon boat and hot tub was fantastic! The rental manager, Kim, was extremely nice and helpful with any questions!! We will definitely keep this rental in mind for future trips!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!
