Just what we were looking for….. a place to spend time with our children and grandchildren! Beautiful home, peaceful and amazing property, extremely clean, all the amenities we needed and beyond! If you want a relaxing and awesome retreat, look no further! We are already thinking of our next getaway here at Grass Lake Lodge. Host was very accommodating, friendly, and communicative.
Beautiful well maintained property with one of a kind features. Finding a private spot on the water with our dogs is very difficult and this checks all the boxes. Bonus that it’s nice inside as well, the weather was perfect, but if it wasn’t I’m confident we would still have enjoyed ourselves. Great trails for walking, big windows to watch the sun rise. Can’t beat it 10/10. Host is very kind and cares about your experience, easy check in and out,
Absolutely amazing house and property!! So many things to do without ever leaving the property! We had a big family group, oldest was 80 and youngest was 4, everyone had something to do at all times. I would recommend this place to anyone! The only thing that was a struggle was all the stairs for the older ones in our group, other than that, not a single complaint! Communication was fast and efficient, the house is fully stocked with anything you could think of! The only thing you need to bring is yourself and clothes!
We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge and the Carriage House. We spent lots of time on the patios and decks just relaxing and enjoying the peace. We did the massage and executive chef experiences and they were just fantastic. This location is in a nice small town, but within an easy drive of Grand Rapids and Michigan Adventures amusement park - lots to do!
Beautiful property! Beautiful house!Enjoyed everything about our stay. Master suite is huge. Spent a lot of time in the game room downstairs during the mid day heat. Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away and relax.
House was immaculate!! Plenty of supplies like towels, TP, Paper Towels, shower stuff, coffee pods, creamer, etc. Views are as beautiful as the pictures. Host was amazing and went way beyond any other host we have experienced. We would rent this place again hands down!!
We had a wonderful stay at Grass Lake Lodge, it was a perfect getaway to unwind in an amazing natural setting. Our dogs enjoyed the hiking trails immensely! The Lodge is beautiful and the owners attended to every detail to make us comfortable.
We had a group of friends stay for a long weekend to enjoy some fishing, games and relaxation. This was the perfect place for that! Everything was exactly as described (or even better in some cases!). They really go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable and enjoy your stay. I will definitely be looking to book again in the near future.
Wonderful secluded home with beautiful view of the lake and lots of activities. Owners checked in to make sure all of our needs were met. We had a great week and would highly recommend staying here.
This is a fantastic property! We had our children (and significant others)and grandchildren stay for a family bonding experience. The property is set up for endless activities: walking trails, fishing, kayaking, games, campfires, and more. Highly recommend and plan to come back. Owners and caretakers are outstanding.
This was a return trip for us to Grass Lake and we loved it as much as our first visit. A beautiful home with everything we could need on a private, quiet lake - our entire family looked forward to this time together and was not disappointed. Thank you for another great visit.
