Twin Lake August 2024

This home had everything we needed to have a great summer vacation. It is large enough for our group of five adults and four children. The lake view is beautiful and the lake was pretty quiet during the week. We were lucky to have good weather most of our stay. There were many choices of water toys to keep everyone busy for hours, especially the kid size kayaks. We enjoyed playing on the beach and also in the game room.

Perfect Family Vacation

Great house for a family vacation. Grandchildren played for hours on beach or with the water toys, paddleboards and kayaks. Parents watched from playroom, converted garage, with overhead door that opens to the beach area. If you want a break from the lake - Michigan’s Adventure and Lewis Farm Adventure Farm & Zoo were great day trips. Hosts were a pleasure to work with. Very responsive.

Beautiful Beach House- was a real retreat

Our family vacation of 9 totally enjoyed our stay in this beautiful accurately described lake house. From the fully equipped kitchen to the game room we able to enjoy time together. Laurie and Vic are great hosts and quick to respond to questions or suggestions. The beach was perfect for smaller (and bigger) kids to play on to collect shells, build sand castles and enjoy all of the water toys.provided. Twin Lake is a nice small community and we would recommend and definitely stay again.

This house was perfect for our extended family of 11--age ranges 68 to 7. We all loved the house and the layout. The game room, beach, paddle boat, and kayaks were so wonderful. I don't think the five kids sat down once the whole weekend! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!!

70th Birthday

From the moment we walked in we were amazed by this lovely home. It was more than we imagined from the photos on VRBO. All my husband wanted for his 70th birthday was for our children and their families to be together and this home was perfect. Thank you, Laurie, for sharing your treasure. We hope to return next year.

August Family Trip

It was very nice. Description was accurate. The only 2 things that were a bit of a surprise 1. There are no boat rentals right on the lake. In order to rent a boat on the lake in front of the house you have to do a long term rental (meaning 3 plus days). They then deliver the boat. 2. You have to walk through the room with the bunk beds to get to one of the bedrooms. For us this was a bit of a problem. The layout was just not ideal for our group.

Amazing Lake House

The home exceeded all our expectations! Not only was it so clean, it was fully stocked and had everything you could need and more! We loved the sandy walkout beach, perfect depth and temperature! The game room was fully stocked with activities both for indoors and outdoors. We loved kayaking to the island and even going through the small channel to the other lake. The tennis courts, pickleball courts and playground were all walking distance. The hosts were super easy to communicate with and you can tell they pay attention to detail, which made our stay even more enjoyable! We all agreed the house was amazing and we would come back again!

Awesome lake home

We had such a great time at our VRBO lake house rental. The home had such large rooms and accommodated our family group of 14 easily. The kitchen was well equipped, the decks were large with plenty of table space and chairs and the beach was beautiful with plenty of rafts, kayaks and paddle boards for lake fun. The large side yard was great for lawn games and the game room was fun after dark.

Amazing beach house

Our family had an amazing week at Laurie and Vic’s beach house. Everything was clean and looked beautiful upon arrival. The house is stocked with everything you would need. Our kids especially liked hanging out in the garage and playing ping pong and air hockey. The beach is great with the paddle boards and peddle boat. We also had fun walking to the ice cream shop right down the street at the park. There are several fun things to do in the area. Laurie also got right back to me whenever I had a question.

A Place That Had it All!

First of all, the owners were fantastic to work with and they truly wanted to make sure that our stay was 100% satisfactory! The house is beautiful and so spacious. My 88 year old mother loved her time on the back deck. She thoroughly enjoyed watching the lake and the activities on the lake!. We ate outside on the back deck for multiple meals and it was just perfect! This place has everything that you could possibly want or need in a summer home. We definitely took advantage of using the kayaks, the paddleboards and the pedal boat. We also enjoyed hanging out in the water and relaxing in the innertubes. The fire pit was amazing and it was even more amazing that they provided wood for us. I appreciated being able to do our laundry as needed and my favorite part of the house was the hot tub! What a nice way to end each evening. The size of the kitchen table was perfect for our group and we even enjoyed a meal on the grill. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone and 1 last thing, the location was excellent. So close to many different activities! Thanks again!

Fun, beautiful, clean!

Our time at Twin Lake was relaxing and fun. The house was extremely clean, well stocked (kitchen, linens, recreational equipment, etc.) and beautifully situated on the lake. Everyone had a great time. The owners were great to work with and any issues were quickly responded to (i.e., minor grill issue was fixed with a call). We loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie & Vic Vanthof

Host profile image
Vic and I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren. We are very involved with our kids and grandkids and love doing things as a family. We love to golf and travel to many different places.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect lake house for our family. It is spacious enough for our whole family to gather together and we still have room to spread out and have our own space. And the beach is amazing! There is a gradual slope to the lake with shallow waters so our littlest ones can play in the sand and enjoy the water. The rec room/garage is so fun for family hangouts and game time.

This is our own personal family vacation home. We spend time here with our kids and grandchildren and we’ve done our best to make it a comfortable, enjoyable, and special place to make our own family memories.

We have great neighbors and enjoy spending time with them when we're here. We ask that you please respect our home and neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Our home is on over 1/2-acre property and has the best beach. 227 ft of awesome private sandy beachfront and is located only 5 houses down from the Twin Lake Park and boat launch. We have a 100' dock. We are blessed to share it with others.
