Pet Friendly Lakefront Beach Cottage

We really enjoyed the house, it was great. The deck and deck furniture were perfect. There were plenty of beds for everyone, the kitchen had everything we needed, several TVs, so when it did rain all of the grandkids could watch what they liked. The house was clean, well stocked, and well marked as to what could be used and what was reserved for the owners. The only down side was that the upstairs was really hot with little air movement, we used the provided fans a lot.
The sandy beach was wonderful, perfect for smaller kids. We used all of the provided water toys, the paddle boat and canoe were the biggest hits. The fire pit was great, just the right size for making smors.The yard was large enough for us to use all of the yard games we brought.

We stayed at the Mona Lake home in August 2011, and this was one of our most memorable family vacations yet. We have five children (and one dog), and there was plenty for everyone to do. The home is equipped with everything you need (boats, toys, towels, games, you name it). We spent most of our days at the house, because it was so much fun and we didn't want to leave. Waking up to the beautiful view of the lake every morning was wonderful. The owners were very professional and courteous, and called us to follow-up with our questions. We can't wait to come back next summer!

We had a perfect getaway over the Canadian long weekend in May (May 20-23, 2011)! We must have said "I don't want to leave" about a million times! From my initial contact with the owner, I felt very comfortable with the rental process and he made everything feel very personal - it was like renting from friends. Although the pictures make the cottage look wonderful, they don't even do it justice! Everything is so well kept and up to date and the amenities made us feel right at home. The view and relaxing atmosphere make this property worth renting. It has the right balance of pretty much anything you'd want to do either right on the property or within the Muskegon area. The owner made himself available to us through a phone call to ensure we were settled in and we felt as though we could contact him if we needed to. The neighbours were also very friendly and helpful - they volunteered lots of helpful information about the area! Being able to bring our dog was a huge part of why we chose this property and he had a blast! He loved the water and running around the yard. Although the water was still a bit cold while we were there, we were able to get in a little bit. It's a nice sandy bottom and very shallow which would be great for kids. We felt like our 3 night stay was just a tease and we need to come back for more! We plan to be frequent guests at this rental home! We can't say thank you enough for the much needed getaway!
