You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gun lake 4 Bed 2.5 Bath Home w/2 car garage, kayaks, paddleboards, free Wi-Fi

Sprawling 2000 sq ft 4 bed 2.5 bath waterfront luxury ranch style home that sleeps up to 12 on the same level and all on a wide channel leading to famous all-sports 2680 acre Gun Lake, the largest inland lake in West Michigan. This Gun Lake area home is the perfect quiet holiday getaway and great place make memories!

All you need to bring are your food, clothing and personal items (toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver, etc), fishing gear if you fish, a boat if you have a boat or plan on renting one on the lake, and you're good to go!

Gun Lake is extremely popular for competition fishing, pleasure boating, skiing, tubing, and swimming off the small beach we have at the house in the extra wide channel or off a boat or at one of the public beaches on the lake. There is a large yard, private deck as well as a private dock to enjoy the quiet waterfront lifestyle relaxing on the deck or on the boardwalk watching the fish and ducks. If staying in the warm months, you can use the kayaks, paddleboards, or moor a boat at the dock as there are both cleats and bumpers ready for you in the extra wide channel.

The living room boasts cathedral ceilings and is spacious and opens up to the dining area/Kitchen. The kitchen features all new top of the line stainless steel appliances, solid surface worktops, breakfast bar with stools, and dining area. The kitchen is stocked with almost anything at your own home, from the waffle maker to the griddle for pancakes, to the coffee maker, to silverware and all the plates and cups and other utensils and such you would expect..

All 4 bedrooms have king size beds and 3 of them have a chest of drawers, night stand, lamp, flat screen smart TV's, new carpeting. and ceiling fan for relaxing on holiday. The 4th bedroom/family room is off the kitchen and now features 2 king size beds so yes, there are a total of 5 king size beds in this house plus a pull out bed.

The large deck is great for relaxing in the shade as it is on the N side of the house away from the sun and even has a natural gas grill for making burgers or sizzling up some steaks or fish and enjoying the relaxing waterfront area atmosphere.

There is Charter Spectrum high speed Wi-Fi so you can watch streaming films or TV shows or get work done while everyone is out on the lake in the warm months or while skiing or ice fishing in the winter.

For Spring/Summer/Autumn guests there are 2 paddle boards and 2 one person kayaks that are by the small private beach with literally tonnes of sand! There is also a fire pit area great for cooking hot dogs and marshmallows.

For winter guests the ice is great for skating and ice fishing, just make sure it is solid and take all necessary precautions like wearing a provided life jacket over your coat and don't ever do it alone just to ensure safety. For those planning to ski at one of the nearby ski resorts, just know that by car Bittersweet Ski Resort is only 22 miles or 28 minutes away, and Timber Ridge is only 26 miles or 34 minutes away. As long as the nights are below freezing these resorts make their own snow and usually are open and everyone has a great time.

Remember this is a grandfathered and registered short term rental in an area where unregistered properties are not allowed to be rented short term. As such there are rules associated with all short term rentals that must be followed at all times. Some of the primary ones are that there can be no barking dogs, so if you are bringing a dog, if it is known to bark make sure you use a bark stopping collar and definitely in a cage if leaving alone at any time. Also there cannot ever be more than three vehicles at the property at any time including inside the garage. There must also not be any trash showing outside of the bin that is provided. There’s also a strict 11 PM quiet hours rule so no outdoor talking, music, campfires, unnecessary car doors slamming or that kind of thing after 11 PM to 7 AM. These are obviously simple rules to follow and there is a list of them as well but these are the most important.

The washing machine and dryer are there for you to use as well as detergent and fabric softener, so no need to ever visit a laundromat while staying here and you don't need to bring cleaning supplies. We also have everything like washcloths, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We also have a Keurig machine which also has a regular coffee maker in it so if you plan to use the Keurig feature just bring the K cups with you :-)

Probably the best VRBO rental we have had. Everything was very clean and organized very well. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils for large groups. All small appliances made our stay comfortable as if we were at home. Gas grill work great and the fire pit was perfect to relax after long day on the water. Many thanks to John our host who replied to my questions quickly and was very accommodating with our schedule.

The home was very clean and well stocked. We cooked in all week and had everything we needed. Loved the kayaks and paddle boards starting out on the channel was great before getting out onto the lake. We are a mellow group so having to be quiet wasn’t an issue for us at all. Do be sure to read the entire listing because quiet hours outside begin at 10pm. The beds were very comfortable and the family room was nice and large we all fit comfortably. The outside deck was very clean which isn’t always the case in other places we stayed. We ate outside quite a bit. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.
