If you enjoy the feel of 'The Big Chill' cooking evening with everyone participating in some manner- this kitchen is the perfect spot for sous chefs,kitchen helpers and those just wanting to give verbal encouragement. The spice drawer has over 50 jars of spices and numerous barbeque blends on hand. There is one large round table that easily seats 8 but can accommodate 10 as well as a smaller round table that will seat 4-5 inside. A large teak table on the covered deck can handle 10 people.

About The Owner

We completed construction on our lake house in 2000. Since Bob retired from practicing medicine in 2006, we enjoy traveling and spending the summers in Wisconsin near Lake Michigan. Our favorite seasons at the lake are Fall and Spring. The lake has always been a great place to create warm memories for us as well as our friends and we hope you will feel the magic here as well.

The Owner purchased this house in 2000
Why The Owner chose Monkey Island

We actually bought the property back in 1992. There was originally an old 1950's house that had no curb appeal and we saw the potential. The fact that we have 600+ feet of shoreline and a protected cove for our boat dock made it the perfect location as well as the fact we are at the end of the road!

What makes this house unique

There are actually five separate porches (three are covered) where you can sit out and enjoy the world or chat with your friends and family. It is intimate and yet everyone can easily have their own space. You can also sit down at the table on the dock and enjoy the sounds of nature or share a meal.

Another feature we offer is our wonderful home manager Helen. We could never rent the house without Helen's help. Helen coordinates our housekeeping crew and makes sure everything is in perfect order for your stay. She will meet you at the house and show you it's special features and answer any questions you may have. We have rented houses where no one meets you, the key is missing and the house was not cleaned properly so we know how important those details are to anyone choosing to rent a luxury home or apartment.

Your house is so very lovely. We felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the lake view and all the inspiring paintings. Your kitchen is very pleasant to cook a meal in. We wish we could have stayed longer. No sight of the fox, but we did spot the eagle and many lizards. (Also, the European influence really did remind us of traveling...if only this lake was the Mediterranean Sea!)

Thanks for the hospitality!

What a fantastic place to relax and enjoy time with our friends. The home has everything. We couldn't think of one thing we should have brought. The home is beautifully decorated with paintings by the owner Annette. The games and kitchen were big hits. The only negative thing I can think of is that we couldn't stay longer. Thanks Bob and Annette for a memorable weekend at the lake. God bless, Brian

What a view!

We had a family get together here for 5 adults and 4 children. Great views of the lake from every one of the bedrooms. Kitchen is fabulous - great appliances, lots of dishes, glasses for every need. The coffee bar is just great - two coffee makers so as soon as one got low, we put on another pot. The kids had so much fun using all the sports equipment - basketball, soccer, bocci ball, frisbee, and on and on. The board games got a lot of use also. Lovely linens. The view of the lake is just gorgeous. We had the fall foliage as well. We ate outside on the deck overlooking the deck. No problem seating nine. The screened in porch off the kitchen was the perfect place for conversations and sipping drinks. I anticipate a return.

Owner's Response: We love hearing that our guests have enjoyed the house as much as we do! Thank you for the wonderful comments. Fall is probably one of our most favorite times at the lake house with all the trees in full color and the sound of the wind in the trees at night. We will continue to strive to make the experience for our guests even better all the time so that the next time they visit there will be something new to discover, explore and enjoy.

Wonderful stay at the lake. The house is simply beautiful and view is perfect! We had a little mishap with a broken lamp shade and a two year old at the beginning of the trip, but it didn't ruin our stay. The house has everything you would need; good shampoos, conditioners, soap, paper products, condiments, etc., we just bought the food and cooked out. We highly recommend this property!

Owner's Response: It is always rewarding to hear of our guest's satisfaction with our home on Grand Lake. We do try to constantly add new things to make the experience fun and memorable. We spend each winter and spring "tweaking" the house so it gets better every year for our guests. We get a lot of new ideas from staying in VRBO properties all over the world - the best way to feel at home in a foreign country or a different city.

Perfect House and Perfect Location

Perfect house and perfect location on the lake. What a view. ... It was good to get family together again under good circumstances.

Coming out from California and getting my Oklahoma family together is priceless. I'm grateful for the use of your beautiful home. Helen takes care of all details. No stone unturned. Look forward to another stay one day.
