NOTE: Between Memorial Day and Labor day We only book full weeks (exception is Immediately after Memorial Day weekend and immediately before Labor day weekend) with a Saturday arrival date (Check in in 4PM or after, Checkout 10:30 AM). Built new in 2000, this is a home that feels like your home is at the lake. PONTOON BOAT IS FOR RENT SEPARATELY TO EXPERIENCED BOATERS (owner will send 2 contracts, one for cottage and 1 for pontoon boat) and available other weeks at a cost of $150per day (minimum 3 consecutive days or $600 for the full week) until approximately mid September. A pedal pontoon boat and 2 kayaks are included at no extra charges. Twin Lake is a 112 acre All Sports lake with a nice sandy bottom for swimming located 15 minutes from Downtown Muskegon. 1536 square feet of living area above grade, (the true way to measure square footage) so no scary or musty basement to send the young kids to sleep in. There is 60 feet of private frontage (great not to be sandwiched next to neighbors), no steep hills to navigate to the water and no homes across the paved road . There is an open concept main floor plan with 9 foot ceilings and the primary bedroom with its plush King bed the only bedroom on this level . Home has Central air, a row boat, a pontoon style pedalboat and is less than 15 minutes to downtown Muskegon, very popular Michigan Adventure Amusement Park and 30 minutes to the Port City Princess, Lake Michigan beaches and dozens of public golf courses. An open floor plan, Xfinity/Comcast cable and WIFI included, hardwood floors, central air and five ceiling fans will make a cool vacation. Very kid friendly with a deck and large windows to allow adults to keep an eye on the young ones . The Lake has bass, pike and pan fish. A Serta IComfort King bed is located on the main floor plus 4 quality queen beds (no sleeper sofas, air mattresses or bunk beds for for the kids to fall off) on the second floor and a fire pit that was relocated closer to the main deck. (not in photos). We are on the quiet side of the lake only about 185 yards to an island perfect to play on with an island that shields the noise of power boats, Jet Skis and skiers significantly. We average 70% repeat renters each summer and lots of good comments. We have a Weber grill and we are only a short walk to a public park. A great place to build family memories. This cottage built in 2000 with optional 20 foot pontoon boat. Every year we have very good comments that it is clean upon arrival and how nice it is. Horse shoes (shared with neighboring property) and a fire pit are other features we failed to mention. Muskegon, with its proximity to Lake Michigan, is not as hot as many areas of West Michigan. The main floor was repainted in 2017 and a nice propane Weber grill assures you great cookouts. Unlike some owners our weekly price includes taxes. NOTE: The dock is seasonal and only guaranteed to be in the lake between May 20th and until the last September weekend. Contact owner if you have questions regarding this that may impact your stay. WE ARE A NO EVENTS HOME: Please note our home is in a family neighborhood and respecting our neighbors is very important to us. Family reunions, graduation parties, weddings and other similar events are not allowed. We are okay if there are 5 or less extra vehicles at the property, not to exceed one day of your stay, and the small get together party is over and short term guests have left by 11PM. If you are looking for a place to host an event, it is very appreciated if you look elsewhere. Like many inland lakes in Michigan, Twin Lake has occasional weeks that the lake is sprayed for Swimmer's itch or weeds. In that event, signs will be posted not to swim for 24 hours.
