2024 TOP 10 VACATION HOME IN THE US! 5 beds, pickleball, hot tub, gym and more!

RECENTLY NAMED BY VRBO AS A TOP 10 VACATION HOME IN THE US! Situated on 175 ft of sandy Baptist Lake beachfront, is a lake house beyond compare. With too many amenities to list, this 5 bedroom, 7 bathroom stunner is a short 30 minute drive to Grand Rapids, and the perfect spot to host a getaway with friends and/or family. Wake up with breakfast in the gourmet chef's kitchen and prepare a coffee using the built in Miele coffee maker, then enjoy it by the fireplace in the screened-in porch area. Once you're fully awake, perhaps you'll head down for a workout in the professional-grade gym, or enjoy a game of basketball or pickleball on the custom court. Ready to cool down? Why don't you take a few steps down to the water? Up for a refreshing dip in the lake? Maybe take the kayak or paddleboards out and check out the stunning views Baptist Lake has to offer. As the sun goes down, enjoy the bar and game area equipped with shuffleboard table, ping pong, darts, and more. If you're lucky, maybe you'll catch one of the many varieties of fish that call Baptist Lake home!
Every corner of this exquisite home is finished with the ultimate in decor and furnishings, so you can rest assured that luxury will surround you day and night.

Our family stayed here for a long weekend and the house and property exceeded our expectations. The house was so clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were some of the best we’ve had — so easy to work with and were always available via text/call if we needed them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful stay on the water! We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful family trip, luxury home!
Truly an immaculate home, I couldn't have asked for anything more. The home was practically turn key in regards to bedding, appliances, and amenities. Groceries were easily obtained using instacart although a major grocery store was only a 10min drive away. The added safety of a fenced yard is not to be overlooked--our small children were safe and enjoyed the sandy beach every day. Most importantly, the host is the most responsive and friendly host I've ever worked with in a rental property. We travel w/ P2P rentals 2-3 times per year and have for the last 8+ years. By far, the best host we've worked with, couldn't recommend higher. In short, rent this house, you will not regret it. PS--if you have the chance to rent over the 4th of July holiday, you should, the fireworks over the lake are unbelievable!

Great rental even better owner
We had a weekend wedding at the house with a few family members and this house could not have been more beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. Lisa was also very accommodating and very quick to respond and anything you can think of that you may have forgot, was already provided on the property and top quality. It was overall the best weekend rental we have ever had.

The Stunning Lake House with Everything Provided!
The Lake House was everything we could have ever wanted. The location was on point, the views are incredible, the special amenities (hot tub, work out facility, sport court, fireplace, wifi and surround sound) the butlers pantry and the landscaping. The whole experience was so wonderful and we enjoyed our time spent here with our Sand Lake relatives. We hope to come back and stay in the Fall. Thank you Lisa and Mandy for an excellent weekend!

This home is simply amazing. Such a shame we couldn't enjoy it during the summer. There is plenty of space and the decor is spot-on. The lake view is breathtaking. This home gets a ten out of ten!

Magical Weekend!
What a beautiful house!! We had the best weekend at the lakehouse. It was the perfect size for our group, plenty of common space to socialize, comfortable beds and bedrooms and fully stocked with every utensil and appliance you would need to make this house your home for the week! Can’t wait to come back :)
