The house was clean and had everything you needed! The lake was gorgeous and the hot tub was a wonderful way to end the night! We would definitely stay here again!

Shout out to our awesome cottage cleaners, thank you! Laurie and Vic
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.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for being so gracious and understanding about the washing machine that decided not to work during your visit. We had a new one installed. We hope to have you back again for the holidays next year! Laurie and Vic
This was a great spot for two families to spend a few days of fall break relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views and the many amenities of the house!

We have the best spot on Twin Lake!
Thank you. Laurie and Vic
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!

Our sprawling ranch is great, thank you! Laurie and Vic
Our stay at Laurie and Vic's house was absolutely amazing. We traveled to Twin Lakes for a family wedding and enjoyed some well deserved family time. This was a vacation for the books! The house and all its amenities were on point and truly appreciated.
This property was great for our needs! We hosted our extended families for dinners and the kitchen was well stocked with all our needs and the large deck area made our dinner time relaxing with a beautiful view of the lake. My husband and I are already talking about a return trip!

Thank you! Vic and I would love to have you back! See you soon.
We loved our stay at twin lake! The house was set up perfectly for two families to stay. We loved all the kid friendly details (books, toys, a pack n play, high chair and sand toys). They were activities for every member of our family! Laurie and Vic were also great, and were easy to communicate with!
My family and I stayed and had our best vacation yet! The house was spacious and fully stocked for our group of 13. So many fun things to do for all of the kids ranging in ages from 2 to 12. It was the perfect place for a low key relaxing getaway!
Wonderful place for our family of 10 to spend the week. The lakefront and lake were perfect for everyone…a two year old, three teens, parents and grandparents. Great indoor seating for everyone. The kayaks, pedal boat, and ping pong table all got lots of use. Laurie and Vic are great hosts!

Thank you, Peggy. Vic and I are so thankful to have wonderful guests like you visits our family cottages. We hope to see you again next year, maybe our Silver Lake Cottage? 😉
Has everything you need for a nice family vacation
From start to finish everything was smooth. Place is very clean. Great location. And Laurie and Vic have done a great job at providing extra toys, books, lawn and water activities. We usually like picking a new spot to stay each year but we may just have to make this our annual spot!

About the host
Hosted by Laurie & Vic Vanthof
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.
