Perfect lake house!

Cute and quiet house on the lake - fantastic views and quiet. House was well-stocked with the basics and everything was comfortable. Our family met here from around the country for my son’s college graduation and it was very convenient to Big Rapids. We did not get to spend a lot of time at the house to relax because we were helping move our son’s stuff and get him settled down in Grand Rapids. Would definitely consider this for another stay in the future if we are back in the area!

A perfect long weekend!

We stopped here for a long weekend before heading north for a family reunion. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were comfortable. We had a nice warm day and enjoyed the kayaks. We had a rainy day and played cards, cooked, and enjoyed the views. Our last day was a bit cool so we sat around the campfire. Very relaxing, beautiful, quiet setting.

Lake cottage was fine

We used the cottage for a family reunion. The lakefront was extremely beautiful and the house is in a perfect location. The space was adequate for 4 adults. The water smelled sulphuric. Despite that, I would rent again in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Jill, Joe, Becky & Jacob

This property, now owned by brother and sister Joe and Becky and their spouses was once enjoyed by Becky and Jacob as children. They now live in Michigan and Oregon with their own families and hope you are able to make memories at Turtle Haven just like they did growing up!

Why they chose this property

Great lakefront home, perfect for memories with friends and family. Enjoy the large deck overlooking the lake, firepit, grill and more. Dock available if you bring your own kayaks or vessel (boat ramp access available upon request). Swim in the water right off the dock or venture three doors down to the private beach maintained by the lake association.
