Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Hi. Our names are Frank and Cheryl Roberts:) We have been married for 8 years and have 3 beautiful boys. I am a "stay at home" mom and Frank operates a transportation company for the past 24 years and manages several rental properties. We enjoy family time together, boating, fishing, reading, golfing and teaching our boys as much as we can every day along the way. We both grew up in the area and decided to stay to be close to family and longtime friends.
Why the Owner Chose Grand Rapids
We designed and built this home in 2005. Because of it's size, convenient location and beautiful lakefront, we had several requests from friends of friends asking if they could rent it for their family vacation. We decided to give it a try. We had a great experience and met many great people. We decided that we'd continue to rent it as a vacation rental and listed it on VRBO.com. We've booked up every summer ever since. We enjoy reading the journal notes left from each group describing the things they did while they stayed.
The Unique Benefits of this Lakefront Resort Home
I think one of my very favorite features of the property is, of course, the beautiful lake view. I also love the spacious layout of the house. The steamer shower is the best way I know to wind down before bed. We enjoy riding bikes around the lake and dining in some of the nearby restaurants. The television and projection screen are set up with awesome surround sound, a great way to snuggle down with popcorn and the family to spend some special time "doing nothing" with the kids. The sandy beach is one of the kids favorite places to hang out, and they really enjoy catching fish off the dock. Frank's favorite place is cooking in the kitchen while entertaining some friends. The kitchen is very large and it is connected to the dining and living room. It's a great way to cook and be able to socialize with all our guests. Oh yeah, I really love the laundry center too. I know that sounds crazy, but it's huge and very organized. With 3 boys, I do spend a lot of time there....
