A great getaway
We loved off-season Muskegon, which this house made quite entertaining with arcade games, table tennis, hot tub, sauna, Nintendo, and plenty of places to read. The kitchen is gorgeous and well-appointed.

The cleanliness of the property was truly remarkable – everything was spotless and well-maintained, making us feel immediately comfortable and at home. It's clear that great care is taken to ensure a pristine environment for guests.Leslie, our host, went above and beyond with her communication. She was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire booking and stay process. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and her attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.The location of the property was the icing on the cake. It was perfectly situated for everything we wanted to do, with easy access to local attractions, dining, and activities, yet still offering a peaceful retreat to unwind after a busy day.This stay exceeded all our expectations, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic VRBO experience.

Football family
We traveled 6hrs for our sons highschool football game; our 4 families stayed together with our sons. The upstairs was perfect for the adults and downstairs amazing for the teens. The outside view was absolutely breathtaking and the photos don’t do it justice. The house was clean and well thought out floor plans made all of our stays easy w separate bathrooms for all adults. We will be back and can’t wait.

Lovely Home & Everything You Need
It’s so nice to have many king bedrooms and lots of bathrooms. Everyone could spread out in the home and also the living spaces were large enough for us to gather comfortably. The kitchen is huge and stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. We were in the pool most days and went to Hoffmaster beach (beautiful) and Grand Haven as day trips. And our Host was the best!

The house is very pretty. Everything you need or want is there. There is plenty of room to gather in the kitchen or family room and the recreation room downstairs. The pool was very nice, so was the hot tub and sauna. Had plenty of games, pool toys,and things for our young kids. We also enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Definitely a great place for family or friends! I highly recommend this location.

What makes this property unique

You can't get better lake living than at Mona Lake Retreat. You will be right on the lake as the property backs up to the beautiful Mona Lake. Watch the sunrise over the water right from the deck or from inside the house through the big beautiful windows.
