Peaceful and plentiful
This tastefully decorated home also has everything you might want. A fully stocked kitchen, so no need to bring any utensils. The kids loved playing ping pong in the garage. We utilized the game area to put a jigsaw together. I claimed my corner for reading and knitting. The sunsets were gorgeous!

Great Lake place
We had a great time! The house is exactly as described. Well stocked with everything we needed. The kids caught a ton of fish off the dock and we made good use of the paddle boards, too. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again.

Great House!
We cannot say enough GREAT things about this house. It had EVERYTHING you can think of that you would need on vacation! I felt like I was in my own home only better! Brian and Corey were wonderful hosts and answered the few questions we had quickly. The location of the house was perfect being right on the lake. Everything was perfectly clean, up to date, comfortable, with lots of space, and tons of activities to keep you busy even when it rains. We just LOVED it! We cannot wait to go back! Thanks!!

Family Vacation
This rental property is absolutely wonderful! So cozy and has every amenity you could need to be comfortable. The outdoor barbecue, kayaks, games and fire pit were also a huge success. I will miss my morning coffee while sitting on the beautiful deck overlooking the water. A big thank you to our hosts. 😊

Marvelous getaway
This is not a cottage, rather a beautiful Lake House ! Fully furnished with all the things I normally have to bring to a rental. We had fun on the Kayaks and paddle boards, roasted marshmallows at the fire pit and watched sunsets every night from the deck. My favorite room was the screened in porch… perfect for reading or watching boats on Pentwater Lake, rain or shine.

Quit looking and book this home before it's gone!!
This home is just that....a home. Every detail about this lakehouse is perfect! The owners have thought of everything. Our family came in for our son's Pentwater wedding and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. From ping pong to fishing to paddle boarding to kayaking...even a bookshelf with books to read while relaxing. The sunsets from all of the patios were to die for! The private dock was perfect for us with our fishing kayaks. The beds were so comfortable..not like in a lot of rentals. The little things that the owners thought of...like bug spray, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, kitchen utensils, gas grill, fire pit, beach chairs and yard games and so much more. A lot of thought and love was put into this home. We just hated to leave! One of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations we have had. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us Brian and Corey!!

Wonderful week on the lake
This is our 3rd year staying at Corey and Brian’s gorgeous Pentwater lake home. We absolutely love it there. The house is adorable, has everything we need when cooking meals and we love using the kayaks and paddle boards. We also bring our wave runners and rent a pontoon for the week so we have lots of water toys for a fun week!

Where memories are made!
We have stayed in Corey and Brian’s Lake House multiple times and have always had a great time. The property is immaculately maintained and has lots to offer a family with children of different ages. Pentwater Lake is gorgeous. We enjoyed fishing on the dock, kayaking and watching sunsets from the lovely upper deck. The family room is great for gathering at the end of the day to play games or watch movies. The hosts always make us feel like the house is our home during our stay. We love it and the charming town of Pentwater. Our family has been coming to this area for over 15 years. This house is everyone’s favorite place to stay. Thank you Corey and Brian!

Greatest lake vacation!
What an amazing week in Pentwater! The house and property were better than I could have even hoped for! Immaculate, beautifully decorated, spacious, every kitchen item we could need and the waterfront property was spectacular. The kayaks were a favorite; ping pong and corn hole were so fun. Morning coffee or an evening cocktail waterside was perfection. The town of Pentwater was so cute, with great shopping. Such a wonderful family vacation- and the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you!!

BEST RENTAL HOUSE YET!
LOVED this home. Had all the amenities. Love the fact that it was if you use it replace it ( garbage bags, dish soap, zip lock bags, laundry detergent, fabric softner) We packed all the necessities not knowing they had everything furnished. Left everything for the next people to visit! Paddle boards, kyaks, ping pong, beach toys provided hours of entertainment. Plenty of refrigerator & freezer space. Owners have thought of everything!

Fantastic!
Ages 3-60 and every person loved it! Tons of room; bigger than the pictures looked. Stocked kitchen, amazing grill. Loved the kayaks (go left and under the bridge for a nature wonderland!), fishing from the dock, fire pit, corn hole, floating in the lake. Perfect location. Went to Mac Woods dune ride for family fun! Rented a pontoon book on Silver Lake which was awesome! Bonus- watched a thunderstorm one evening, which turned into a rainbow, which turned into a spectacular sunset. I cannot recommend this house enough!! It was the absolute best.

Everything was perfect!
We are a family of 5 (17+) and we had a couple young adult visitors throughout the week. Everyone loved it. The location and accommodations were perfect. Home was clean and had EVERYTHING you would need at a lake house. People living around this home were friendly. The house was perfect for allowing great family togetherness/spaces but also allowed us to spread out at times and read or be lost in thought.We rented a boat (separate from house rental) and were able to enjoy Pentwater lake and even went out on Lake Michigan and up to Ludington where we docked. Lake wasn't too busy for water skiing and tubing. Highly recommend.

Perfect Michigan Experience!
Our stay was terrific! We are already planning our next visit. The accommodations were stellar. There was literally everything you needed. No need to purchase any paper products and all the utensils you would need to make or serve anything... Which in our experience hasn't happened until our stay here! Super professional correspondence and timely. Loved taking advantage or all the perks such as the kayaks and paddle boards. Loved playing ping pong and having the ability to have enough chairs and loungers for when all of our family came to visit for the day! The town of Pentwater is so sweet and has all the things a vacation town should have! I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay in a charming area that is really beautiful to boot!

Amazing week!
We had the best week in Pentwater. The house is even nicer in person than the photos show. Our kids enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, but the real star of the show was the ability to fish right off the dock. We caught fish all day and the whole family enjoyed the outdoor living. Best Vrbo we have rented and would absolutely book this home when we travel to Pentwater.

About the host

Hosted by Brian & Corey Vliem

Host profile image
We have always loved living in West Michigan and near the lake shore. We both had a desire to live on the water someday but know God has plans for us and we lived with the faith that he will provide for us what we need in His time. Our dream was a reality in 2018, when we met Caroline Denlar, the lake house's previous owner. She was hoping the potential new owner of her home, would carry on the rental history and that's when we formed a long lasting friendship with Caroline. We love the feel you get when you walk through the front door, and to see water from almost every room is just captivating! We both work very hard to make sure our home is well equipped with all the amenities and everything is in good working order. We enjoy staying with our families and creating lasting memories and hope the same for all of our guests.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located on Monroe Rd, making it easy to go to town by bikes, or by boat! With a 40' dock you can bring your boat whether its a ski boat, fishing boat or a dinghy!
We provide all the amenities including AVEDA hair care in the showers! Play giant jenga or ping pong on a rainy day in the garage or pull out one of many board games to entertain!

What makes this property unique

Private 40' dock right outside your door. Easy access to the Expressway and also to the village of Pentwater. Kayaking, SU paddle boarding and ping pong are just of a few of the activities included in our rental! Many, many amenities provided to make it feel "just like home!"
