About this cottage rental
Located only 25 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, this is the perfect place to escape. Murray Lake is a large all sports lake with 320 Acres of space. The lake's signature "horse-shoe" shape and deep water make it great for many activities such as skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, kayaking (2 provided), paddle boarding, and swimming. This single story home is located at the end of a culdesac, so it is a safe and quiet place to relax. There is parking in the driveway for around 4 vehicles. (2 stall garage is locked for owner's storage)
This lakefront home has updated cabinetry, luxury vinyl planking, bathrooms, quartz countertops throughout, and much more. The kitchen is spacious with an 8', wine fridge, keurig coffee maker, regular coffee maker, ninja blender, toaster, GE Profile appliances, and is stocked with everything for most of your cooking needs. As you stand in the kitchen you will enjoy the expansive 18 feet of glass viewing the water. There is a cozy lakeside living room with an electric fireplace providing heat as well as accent lighting for any occasion.
Outside there is a sprawling deck with ample seating, a propane grille, a covered sitting area, and outdoor dining table for enjoying a meal in the sunshine. Off to the side there is a patio with a Jacuzzi hot tub! The yard has plenty of space for yard games, there is a swing set for smaller children (9 years and younger), and a sandy beach with lounge chairs and a dock to enjoy the water. 2 Kayaks are located on the beach for guest use (life jackets are provided and required).
Back inside the house there are 3 main bedrooms off to one side of the house with beds to sleep 8, as well as an expansive back Great Room with a 85" TV and Sonos sound system along with additional beds to sleep 6 more. This is a great setup for 2 or 3 families that would enjoy their own space for their sleeping arrangements. The master bedroom features a pillow top king size mattress and a private bathroom.
Both TV's are setup with complimentary YouTube TV as well as the option for you to login to any of your own accounts, such as Netflix, Hulu, and many others. There is high speed internet coverage across the entire house. The home is setup with a Ring Security System.
This house is close to many local conveniences such as the Village of Cannonsburg, featuring Honey Creek Inn, Parnell General Store, or go the other way to downtown Lowell. Arrowhead Golf Coarse is only 2 miles away or stop at Red Barn to grab some ice cream and let the kids play in the petting zoo.
Come and see how enjoyable a weekend on the lake can be!

While I'd love to echo the others, I can't get to a 5 star for this one. I'll explain with some pros & cons:Pros- Good size home with plenty of beds for our 2 families.- Beautiful lake and nice waterfront.- Layout, kitchen, and back porch are all pretty well designed.Cons- Too often missing those thoughtful and helpful touches that make a VRBO easier when living and cooking for a week. - Like chairs for the firepit. There are beach chairs nearby, but.. when you're paying nearly a grand a night, you'd hope for more.- Or nothing on many of the walls throughout. It looks too much like a bachelor pad.- Or the worst designed fridge (door flips open instead of closing when you swing it shut) and stove (touchpad.. just bad) - Or almost no towel hooks in the baths. I could go on, but you get the idea. I sound high maintenance (and probably am a little), but for us it boiled down to the higher cost, higher expectations math.I do want to be fair, none of those annoyances are deal breakers (we had a great time after all), but they are all fixable. And pretty easily.

Beautiful views of the lake! The kitchen area is roomy & stocked with a good amount of dishes and utensils. The island is great for serving dinner on and had space for 4 people to sit at with room for the rest of us at the kitchen table.. The family room/bedroom had plenty of space for the grandkids to play in. The bedrooms were a decent size with large enough closets to store clothes in. We had 13 people, 8 adults & 5 kids and fit comfortably in the house. . We spent most of our time outside either on the decks or beach area. The grandkids absolutely loved the sandy beach and swimming in the lake. We had a great time!
