Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood

This home was a lovely place for my family to stay for our summer vacation! There was plenty of rooms for the 12 of us to sleep and to live for the week. The back patio was a nice relaxing place to sit in the mornings and afternoons and the living room provided enough seating for everyone to sit and watch TV when it rained. The only thing that we had to do when we got there was sweep the steps going down to the lake as they were covered in tree debris and creeping vines. Other than that the property was a beautiful place for family to gather!

Great weekend at the Lakeside Retreat

This property was great for our annual girls getaway. The house was immaculately clean with comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was very prompt in responding to my emails. We appreciated the upscale linens, but definitely needed more towels. I would highly recommend this property.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much! Property was clean and welcoming. Beds and living space were comfortable and kitchen well stocked, even for our large group of 10 people.

Comfortable home

We stayed with 2 couples, one couple being older. The layout of the house was perfect. Beds were exactly how we like them. We opened the shades and had lake view our whole stay. The steps to the dock were a little too steep for half of us😀. Communication was the best we ever had. Location was central to everywhere we we wanted to go. ..Muskegan, Grand Rapids..Loved the neighborhood and all the squirrels. Very well stocked!! alldock were

Great house!

House was great! Open and modern floor plan, natural light, big couch and good seating, lots of pillows and blankets, well stocked with everything! Added enjoyment of bald eagles flying over the lake. Adam was responsive with communication. Rented this house for a soccer tournament in Feb (so didn’t really get to enjoy the lake or outdoor seating) and it was located right in the middle of the 3 field locations. Reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Lakeside Retreat?

The house was as advertised, very nice and comfortable and spacious. The outdoors, not so much. Grass was tall, all outdoor furniture dirty, kayaks dirty and full of water. Limbs down on the roof and everywhere and gutters full. Deck not as accessible as picture shows. It was down a long staircase which was littered with branches and chairs from porches had been taken down there and we were not able to retrieve. The outdoors was a selling point for me and we weren’t able to use it at all! I expect properties to be as advertised, as that is why I am booking and what I expect to be paying for.

Nice visit at Norton Shores in February

The thing our family liked best about this property is the backyard that adjoins the lake. There were at least six bald eagles that were roosting in the trees and swooping down to catch fish in the water almost our entire stay. We could watch all this from the window--lots of fun! We arrived in February and it would have been nice that the snow was cleared away from the sidewalks, that's why we downgraded cleanliness. The master suite was beautiful with shower, jacuzzi tub and tons of storage space. The fireplace in the master bedroom was very nice and the room was very spacious. The rest of the house was fine for our son & his young family. The property is nicely located for easy access to local hiking along Lake Michigan, which we took advantage of since there wasn't enough snow for winter activities. We also enjoyed a visit to a waterpark that was about 30 minutes away. The kids especially loved that. We marked down for accuracy of listing in that it was unclear that this property was situated in a subdivision. We were under the assumption from the photos that it was in a secluded area. It turned out not to matter in the long run as we weren't outside much with the cold weather, and the view of the lake was great.

Rodent droppings, ripped sheets, and more! GROSS

The house was filthy and not well kept. Rodent droppings in the kitchen, ripped sheets, mold/mildew in vents and musty smell, doors off hinges, greasy substance on floor, fall leaves piled up against the house with swarms of mosquitos breeding in it (making the backyard unusable)….and the list goes on. Our family rented three houses for our Michigan stay and the others were top notch. Fortunately, we could vacate the house during the day and hang out at the other places. I wish I could post pictures in this review…it was gross

Lakeside Retreat

My family had a wonderful stay in Norton Shores. The house is perfect for family of all ages and located near Muskegon and Grand Haven with so much to do. Adam, the property manager was very helpful and easily contacted with quick responses. We enjoyed many family bike rides through the neighborhood. The dock is down a hill with many steps but great overall. We recommend Lakeside Retreat for a great getaway!

We very much enjoyed our stay, the house was beautiful, relaxing, and felt like home. The location of the property is awesome, in a quiet neighborhood and within 10-30 minutes of numerous things to do or places to go (grocery, ice-cream, frozen yogurt, pubs, restaurants, hiking trails, sand dunes, beaches, cideries, etc.). The view of the lake is beautiful and the amount of windows and natural light coming in is amazing. The property was very clean and the communication was prompt and very helpful. We recommend this property and will definitely be back!
