This place was a perfect place for our family. The kids loved the garage full of activities and we all enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing off their paddle boat. Just up the road a few miles we rented ATVs from Back Road Rentals for a couple hours which was fun. Silver Lakes was another place we went to to take a ride on the dunes. We relaxed most of the time on their beach. Wonder place and hosts. Thank you Laurie and Vic.

We were very happy with our stay. We are seniors and liked that everything was on one floor. There were 2 walk in shower bathrooms and another with a full bath tub. The kitchen was large enough to accommodate 10 ladies and the kitchen table also sat all of us. The lake was beautiful! It was to cold to go in the water but we wished it was warmer so we could have used all the items that were there. There were kayaks, a large paddle boat, nice large sandy beach and a fire pit. We had a great time!

We enjoyed our family Christmas and New Year celebration! The lake froze so we could do some ice fishing as well. The hot tub was very nice and the view was great. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The 3 season room (garage) was really fun for the kiddos with ping pong table, pool table, foosball, tv.... We were not able to use the washing machine because it wasn't working but the owners were quick to respond and the laundromat wasnt too far away. Overall we had a great experience and time.

Great property and location, the private beach is huge and very clean! The only minor issue was the house layout - it's really long and segmented, so it took forever to walk from the garage to the kids bunk room to get an item. We definitely got our steps in!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie & Vic Vanthof

Host profile image
Vic and I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren. We are very involved with our kids and grandkids and love doing things as a family. We love to golf and travel to many different places.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect lake house for our family. It is spacious enough for our whole family to gather together and we still have room to spread out and have our own space. And the beach is amazing! There is a gradual slope to the lake with shallow waters so our littlest ones can play in the sand and enjoy the water. The rec room/garage is so fun for family hangouts and game time.

This is our own personal family vacation home. We spend time here with our kids and grandchildren and we’ve done our best to make it a comfortable, enjoyable, and special place to make our own family memories.

We have great neighbors and enjoy spending time with them when we're here. We ask that you please respect our home and neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Our home is on over 1/2-acre property and has the best beach. 227 ft of awesome private sandy beachfront and is located only 5 houses down from the Twin Lake Park and boat launch. We have a 100' dock. We are blessed to share it with others.
