Fall Break Family Getaway
Our family (two adults and four kids ages 9, 7, 5, 3) had a wonderful long weekend here for fall break. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed taking rides around the lake in the pontoon boat and using the hot tub on chilly evenings. The backyard has a lovely view with plenty of places to sit and relax, and was big enough for our kids to run around and throw footballs. We appreciated the extra large fire pit with lots of seating for roasting smores. The house was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. It was great to have two big chairs and two full sized couches, and we used the huge island and stools for dinner each night. Kitchen was well stocked and the grill and oven worked perfectly. The beds were extremely comfortable and our four boys loved the bunk room! We really appreciated all the extra towels, blankets, and pillows, and having the washer and dryer to use as needed. The property manager was very helpful and provided all the info we needed before arrival. Muskegon is one of our favorite places to visit and we'd definitely recommend this as a great place to stay!

Great Vacation
The house was roomy with a lot of places to sit, inside and out. The hot tub was good for four people. Loved being able to use the pontoon. Meijer's was close for shopping. The water in the lake was greenish in front, so not great for swimming. Overall, a great place to stay. Would consider renting it again.

Great stay!
Our stay at Mona Lake was absolutely fantastic. The boat provided was in great condition, allowing us to explore the lake with ease. The house itself was clean, spacious, and had incredibly comfortable beds. We were a group of 10 people, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house manager was responsive and ensured our needs were met. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house for a wonderful vacation.

Just perfect
This was a perfect time of year to go. The house was exactly as described, with plenty of space, full kitchen, and the watercraft (canoe, kayak) were great fun, as was the pontoon boat. We had great times around the firepit in the evenings. There was plenty to do in the area, good hiking, live music and I especially liked the submarine museum, very well done. Special shout out to Kim, the manager. We had an actual conversation before arrival, and expectations and information were clear. We asked a couple of questions during the stay, and she answered within a few minutes each time. thanks!

Beautiful Home.
We really enjoyed our long weekend on Mona Lake. The house was very well stocked and had every thing we needed. Kim the property manager was awesome and answered any question. We paid to rent the pontoon and loved cruising the lake but it needs more details in the description about the exact dates when the boat rental is extra! But we would definitely like to return in the future!

Great lake getaway house!
The house was wonderful, a definite 5 star house with a large open living area and plenty of sleeping spaces. Very clean and nicely decorated. Nice large gathering area in the kitchen. Everything we needed was there, all kitchen appliances and utensils etc. Fun to hang out on the deck or in the hot tub looking out over the lake . We opted to pay extra for use of the Pontoon boat provided which was fun to do leisurely trips around the lake. The only downside of the property was the many geese families often present on the back lawn with the landmine of their droppings to walk through, otherwise a full 5 star place. A suggestion would be to put fake plastic swans in the yard to keep the geese off the yard (that works by our subdivision pond). Thanks for the wonderful place and quick responses to any questions we had.

My family visited for a long weekend due to my daughter’s dance competition in Fruitport. The home was clean, appeared as advertised, and had everything we needed (plenty of towels, kitchen utensils, etc). Communication from the hosts was excellent - clear, friendly, and timely. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and making s’mores on the fire pit by the lake. We’d definitely visit again!

Great House and Location
Wow! This house was beautiful. Fully stocked with necessities. Amazing view of the lake. Close to the grocery store for last minute needs. Heated floors, comfy beds. My suggestions: • giving the person who booked a heads up before calling with details. Or giving them the option for a call or a detailed message/text. It isn't always easy to answer a phone. • A bath mat in front of the shower in the 1st floor bathroom. • Quick guide to the hot tub. We hope to be back again soon!

Great Gal Time at this Lake house!
It was a wonderful ladies weekend at this lake house. Unfortunately the weather was not the best but somehow sitting in the hot tub while raining makes up for it! The house was perfect for hanging out around the long counter/island with open concept into the livingroom. The boat was great to do a chilly ride around to check out the site. The beds were super comfy and the place was very clean. Would highly recommend!

Lake Mona Experience
Rarely is a house in person as it is in pictures. This one was. Never perfect, but you always hope for new/clean and comfortable. We rented this 2-story knowing we would not be able to use the 2nd floor/stairs, due to a disability. But we found we did not need the upper floor at all. We slept in the lower bunks of 2 bunk beds and had a/c in the room. Bathroom shower was a bit hard for our use and bathroom very small, as well as some attention was needed (spiders indoors and outdoor furniture (dirty) and geese were an issue, but we used the hot tub. And large center island in kitchen - very nicely new. We were house hunting so we were not there as much as we would have liked. I would stay here again, and anyone seeking a nice house with available boat should highly consider this property.
