Great getaway in a gorgeous community

The house was perfect for our special occasion (my wife’s 50th birthday), comfortably hosting us, 2 other couples, and a couple more family members.The back patio is large and furnished, making for a great hangout spot for chatting around a fire and playing cards at table.

Great location and plenty of room

This home was well equipped for a stay and there was plenty of room for multiple or large families. The house was clean on the inside but I don’t think it had been opened for the year yet and needed some cleaning outside. The host was an excellent communicator and I appreciated the ability to ask questions and update them as the stay progressed. We will definitely stay again when we go back to the area.

The home is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the lake. The spacious open floor plan made our family vacation comfortable and gave us the room to hang out together. We really enjoyed staying there.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

Between having to clean up the yard and having to set up everything for the summer. Like, clean all the outside furniture. The grass and weeds were so out of control I couldn't let my kids play outside. The inside of the whole smelled musky, not clean and fresh like a rental should be. There was ONLY 2 rolls of toilet paper. One in eavh bathroom, which is fine for a night but not a whole week! I will NEVER use this company to rent from again.

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!
