Thank you so much for your kind words!
We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cleanliness and location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you're visiting the lake again.
The home was perfect for three generations vacationing together. It was immaculately clean and the owners have thought of everything to make visitors comfortable.
This property was great and in close proximity to everything. Situated on a quiet street, walking distance to the private beach. The inside was immaculate and well stocked with the necessities including games! The back yard was very peaceful and well decorated!
We visited with 3 adults and 4 kids ages 10-13. Was a great place to stay for all. Steps from Spring Lake and 10-15 minutes from Lake Michigan. The upstairs bed and bath are particularly nice.
We had a great time at this home in Spring Lake. The owners gave us a warm welcome package and were very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had during our stay. The home was well cared for and was a great location for enjoying quality time with our family on our vacation.

Josh, we are thrilled that you and your family had such a great time at Lakeside Lodge! We do work hard to provide a welcome environment and keep the property in good shape and are so glad that was noticed.
Perfect for kids with the rec room being used when it rained. Front porch was nice and the neighbors were friendly.

Thank you, Erin, for leaving us a 5 star review! So glad you enjoyed the rec room, and the front porch is one of our favorite highlights as well. We would love for you to visit again. Thank again for staying with us.
The house was perfect for our family. Plenty of room for the 5 of us with a bunch of room to spare for additional guests. The home was well furnished and well stocked with everything that you would need. The location was amazing with a very short walk to a small but very nice private beach. The neighbors were super friendly as well. We recommend this property highly and would absolutely stay here again if we are vacationing in Michigan again!!
We had a wonderful trip in this awesome location. Short walk to the beach, convenient downtown restaurants, and short drives into downtown Grand Haven. The house was clean and spacious, and the owners supplied everything we could need, in addition to some thoughtful extras. We would love to return sometime!!!

It was such a pleasure to host your family, and we do hope to host you again soon!
We had a nice, short stay at this property. The owners were quick to respond and were very accommodating. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It did slightly smell of pets but overall was clean!

Becky,
We are glad to hear you had a nice stay. We plan on replacing the carpets with hard flooring soon so that we can ensure that no future guests experience even a slight pet smell.
The house was very clean with a cozy aesthetic. My partner and I had our 4.5 month old baby girl with us along with my father and two older brothers. It was a perfect fit for us and we had a lot of fun walking the property to see the lake and all the different houses. Spring Lake is a really cute town and Grand Haven is just a couple miles away. Would definitely come again in the summer!
Brief but fun stay to celebrate some family occasions. Brought daughter/s-i-l and their two littles. Set up in home was perfect for this type of group! I got some privacy upstairs and they could do their thing downstairs. We are old time residents and visitors to SL and GH so we know a good location when we find one and this worked out to be 100% right on for us. Great hosts and no issues. Thanks and we willBe back!
This was a really nice house for a family of 4. The house was well equipped, clean and had some nice extra touches. The checkout was super easy. The “beach” was an easy walk, however it is very small. Not something you spend a beach day at. It would be great though for little kids to spend some time at. However Grand Haven is an easy car ride where you can spend a full beach day.. Would absolutely stay again..

Michael,
We are so glad to hear that your family enjoyed your time at Lakeside Lodge - we welcome you back anytime!
Everything was awesome!
Place was well kept,and Everything that was promised.
I suppose the only slight criticism I may have is, the yard was underwhelming.
It was fine,but potentially could be so much more,with a little more upkeep.
I will definitely look for this same property on my next visit though.
This home was amazing from the start. Communication with the homeowners was quick and concise. When we arrived at the home it was absolutely spotless and felt like a home. The quick 30 second walk down to the private beach was very nice to be able to do when we had a few hours in between our other activities. The front porch is where we hung out the most and had a great time just sitting around and talking with each other. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed.
The house has a great porch to sit and relax on. Much of our time was spent relaxing and talking on the porch. There is a large living room with lots of comfortable seating options. Bedrooms were well sized and fit our needs well. The beach and lake are a short walk down the road. Close to Grand Haven for more adventures. Host responded quickly to questions that came up during our stay. It is also a pet friendly location. The gate on the front porch was a great feature so the dog could be off the leash. The neighbors are really friendly and stopped by to talk to us.
Thanks so much for staying with us! We wish we knew what could have made your visit a 5-star stay, as we’re always happy to make things right in the moment. We’d love to host you again anytime.
