Come enjoy Michigan at its finest on all sports and trophy fishing Murray Lake in our new million dollar home. Close to downtown Grand Rapids, MI, 30 minutes from the airport, and about an hour to Lake Michigan, this home is the perfect location for visitors or locals to just kick back and enjoy life.

We just finished renovating our home. Everything is new and up to date. The kitchen is fully-stocked and has all the features of a gourmet chef's dreams. Dishes, appliances, glasses are plenty and high end. In addition to the 8 seating dining table, there are more tables that can extend your seating. The fireplace has an original barn beam mantel and copper chimney. There are plenty of sitting/conversation areas throughout the home. And for the men and kids, there is a man cave with a large screen TV! Outdoors is a calming waterfall, large firepit, grassy lake side yard and beautiful clean sand....everything to make your stay perfect!

The home accommodates a maximum of 15 guests, whether visiting for the day or sleeping in the home. Our neighbors prefer no parties or larger groups than 15 people. We request that our guests respect this so we can continue to share our home with others on VRBO. Many communities have banned vacation rentals for this reason.

On a more positive note, we have a great dock for fishing and a swim raft on the edge of the drop off. There are paddle boards and kayaks at no additional charge. We have some tubes and skis in case you want to rent a boat. Pontoons and speed boats (and wake boats) usually rent for $250 - $800 per day. Most of our guests rent a pontoon from a local for under $250 per day and are pleased with its condition and service. Google Grant Motor Sports. The owner is John. https://www.grantmotorsports.com/ Feel free to mention my name or property. He knows the property well as many have rented from him. And please note, I do not collect any commission on referring guests to him.

For groups we can put you in touch with either excellent catering or a personal chef, photographers, light maid service, baby sitters, life guards, or boat drivers. The lake is very clean and we have a fresh sandy beach steps from the home.

Nearby there are great bike paths, zip line, Lake Michigan beaches, Grand Rapids breweries, local farm produce and ice cream, and only 15 minutes to downtown Lowell, best ribs in Michigan or a quick 20 - 30 minutes to Grand Rapids.

***PLEASE NOTE: Absolutely no pets, bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings, or events allowed. No exceptions. ***

Wonderful Extended Family Getaway
Our stay at Murray Lake was just what we were looking for. The house had more than enough room for our group of six adults, four teenagers and one child. The kids loved swimming and boating on the lake. The youngest enjoyed fishing and playing on the beach. Lots of outdoor games were available for everyone to enjoy. Sue Anne was so helpful and quickly answered any questions we had. The house was very clean and well stocked. Everyone agreed they’d like to return next year. Thank you for sharing your house with us Sue Anne.

Amazing lake vacation
We had a wonderful week at this amazing lake house. We were in constant awe at the wonderful details inside this beautiful home. It was 10/10 clean and it felt very luxurious. There was a lot of space, both inside and out for our multi-generational family. We definitely want to return for another vacation!!

Exactly as pictured and described
The home is beautiful. It is impeccably clean, neat and organized. We had great communication with the owner who has provided for all of anyones needs. The space fit our family of 14 very well. Eight adults and 6 children from infant to 8yrs. The beach and swim are was perfect for this group. The kitchen was huge. I can’t think of one thing we would have changed. We go somewhere as a family every year for a couple of nights as a summer family get together. This was the best one so far! Thanks to Sue Anne & her staff for making it an enjoyable stay for all of us!

If you imagine it. It is here.
We have been renting every summer for 12 years. This is the absolute BEST house ever… It has everything and the quality is fantastic. Very exquisite in all respects. Loved the lake, the house, the amenities, the very large and efficient kitchen…. Best ever…. Best bedding and multiple baths/showers. Must be professionally decorated with coordinating decor in every room… Lots of sitting areas, inside and out and all items in excellent condition. We all loved it and just couldn’t find anything wrong.. Highly recommended if you want to live like a queen or king….

We Had A Blast
This home is spacious and beautiful inside & out with everything you need to enjoy your family. Well equipped and comfortable. It is big enough for a large family to each have their own space. We enjoyed the well equipped large kitchen, 2 dining room tables and the open floor plan had plenty of seating. We had fun fishing off the dock, using the kayaks, paddle boards & playing in the sand. You will not be disappointed renting this home.

We had a great family vacation at this beautiful property. Accommodations were perfect in every way. Every family member from youngest granddaughter to great grandma had an awesome experience. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, beds were very comfy and bathrooms all well stocked with towels and necessities. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks that were provided and the weather was perfect as well, for lots of outdoor fun. We would definitely like to return again next year.

The Lake House Stay
Our family of 11 adults between ages of 17-72 had a wonderful time. We stayed for 5 days in August 2022. The home was beautiful and spacious with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and a huge kitchen completely stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and clean. The hostess, Sue Anne, was lovely to work with. There were a few things that needed repair like the deck railing and the shower floor in one bathroom, but the owner was glad to hear of it, and is making every attempt to fix everything. The lake was fun for everyone and it was very easy to rent a pontoon boat from a nearby location. We will definitely stay there again.

50th anniversary celebration with family and friends.
This property was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to celebrate. The house is roomy, comfortable and well appointed and supplied. The kitchen is amazing with three sinks, two dishwashers and two ovens. The upper and lower deck/patio offered plenty of room to congregate and enjoy the view and access to the lake. The owner provides a variety of water toys ( kayaks, paddle boards, noodles and life jackets along with a wide variety of indoor/outdoor games. The owner was very helpful with finding boat rentals and a chef/caterer. The accommodations allowed for plenty of privacy and comfort. I would highly recommend this property for any type of get together.

Perfect Place for Family Vacation
This house is beautiful, very clean and well kept. We spent 5 nights here and couldn't have been more pleased. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved the pontoon boat, the kayaks, paddleboards and there were plenty of games and activities at the house to keep us all busy. We had 7 adults and my twin grandchildren and everyone enjoyed their time spent here. Not only were there more than enough bedrooms but everyone has their own bathroom and the rooms were large. The bathrooms were so professionally decorated they could have been in a magazine and every one was different. Sue Anne was a very gracious host and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this house.
