About this property

Luxury 4 bed, 2.5 bath Gun Lake Waterfront Home w/paddleboards/kayaks, free wifi

If you are looking for a luxury stay year round, look no further. For your next trip, you will certainly enjoy this fully furnished luxury 4 bed 2.5 bath 1600 finished sq ft home on the West lagoon of 2640 acre all-sports Gun Lake!

This home was designed to let in lots of light, and features all of the modern things such as an open floor plan, super insulated walls and ceilings, high efficiency furnace, + AC, High speed Cable Internet Wi-Fi, LED lighting throughout, 16 ft high cathedral ceilings on the main floor, white luxury mocha glazed under-lit cabinetry throughout, Frigidaire Gallery smudge-free full size stainless steel kitchen appliances, all of the comforts of home like Belgian waffle maker, Pancake griddle, coffee maker, full set of cookware, pans, utensils, 4 flat screen TV's, etc.

In addition to being fully accessible on the main floor once in the house. There are two steps up to the front door or door in the garage, and no steps anywhere on the main floor. All hallways & doorways are 3 ft wide, and the main floor master suite has step-in shower. There is main floor laundry, plenty of parking, and lots of space to entertain friends in the yard and on the deck, boardwalk, and obviously out on the big water.

There are extra safety measures taken for fire protection including 2 hour fire rated exterior and interior walls. The house is sanitized between guests, and features easy to clean upgrades like granite counter tops, CoreTec Plus waterproof luxury Vinyl Plank flooring system in all areas of the home except for the carpeted bedrooms and stairway. There is ceramic tile in the master shower and deep soaker tub with tile shower in the 2nd floor bath.

For your extra comfort, enjoy the energy efficient doors and windows, 4 ceiling fans, main floor laundry complete with front end loading washer and dryer (so no need to wait around in a laundromat), king size bed in the master suite, king size beds in 2 of the rooms upstairs, and a bunk bed room which sleeps 4 and a pull out mattress that makes sleeping for 5 just in that room! So up to 6 adults allowed and no more than 11 people total. There is a TV in the living room, the master bedroom, and each of the upstairs bedrooms that has a king size bed has a smart TV as well. There is no TV in the bunk bed room as the kids will have more fun feeding & catching the abundant fish and turtles, as well as feeding the sparrows, ducks, geese, swans, etc :-)

There is a large deck, a fire pit area, plenty of life vests for everyone, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, and of course this house is only 10 houses down from the open waters of Gun Lake so there is great fishing right off the brand new sea wall and boardwalk. We just added a stainless steel ladder to make it even easier to get in and out of kayaks. There are no waves here and it only takes a few minutes at no wake speed to get to the fast water. Boat rental facilities, a great grocery store, sit down restaurants, a gas station, a McDonald's, a public beach with playground and boat ramp are all within 2 miles!

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 vest over your coat just to ensure safety. If you are planning to enjoy downhill skiing at one of the nearby ski resorts, just know that by car Bittersweet 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.

The property Location is 12960 Hazel Dr, Wayland MI 49348 if you want to see where it is on a map and if it doesn't show on this site anywhere else. This is often helpful to know for mapping and distance purposes when traveling :-)

No matter when your stay, just know the house is cleaned thoroughly and disinfected so this can be your safe hangout! All you need to bring are your food, personal items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaver, etc...we have everything like washcloths, body shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels), and of course you will want clothing. Then get ready to relax, have fun together and make memories! Book today!

Wonderful place, excellent host
We had an amazing stay at this property. Everything was seamless, from the booking to communicating with the host to the check-in and out. We got to use the kayaks and paddle boards, so fun! We even extended the stay last-minute without any delays from the host. Thanks for making the trip a wonderful experience. I highly recommend working with John.

Owner was great responsive to a problem we encountered. Place is as pictured with location and good amenities. The grandkids enjoyed the paddle boards and kyaks. I thought the price was a little high, but it was worth it when I saw how the grandkids enjoyed the place.

Family Getaway
Our family had an amazing time at Gun Lake. We had both houses next to each other which made for a great week of visiting with family. Gun Lake is conveniently located between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids where we have family, so we had several visits throughout the week. The property was clean and well maintained, and there is lots to do in the area.

John was fantastic at keeping us informed about the property! We had absolutely everything we could possibly need provided for us by the owners. Plenty of space for our family of 6 and could have added even more. Our family loved going out on the kayaks and paddle boards multiple times a day. Darling house. We really enjoyed our stay!

Gun Lake - unlocked, fully stocked, and a barrel of fun.
One of the best VRBOs we have visited. The property was clean and well maintained. It was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Instructions were very detailed and communication with the owner was super. Being on a lake access allowed for many opportunities to enjoy the lake. Also, the geographic location was great for day trips to the Air Zoo to the south, dune rides to the west, and Holland to the Northwest. What a gem, we hope to come back.

Having the rental be so close to everything and basically being on beautiful Gun Lake made the family trip so enjoyable. In addition, John the owner was very accomodating and very respondent to all our needs. The VRBO itself was beautifully decorated and very clean. Cute little treasures/games in the kitchen table was a nice touch. Thank you John for meeting all our expectations and helping us make memories for a lifetime.

About the host

Hosted by John Cremer

Host profile image
My name is John Cremer and I'm a licensed associate real estate broker in Michigan. My wife is Sally and I met in college here in West Michigan but she is from West Lafayette, Indiana and I grew up in Colorado, Florida, Michigan and then primarily the Chicago area. As kids, my family vacationed in Michigan, and my favorite memories are right here on Gun Lake. When we got married we settled down here in West Michigan and just love it here. We try to bring the best of vacationing in Michigan to life for guests.

Sally and I have been married now for 29 years and have been blessed with 6 amazing kids and just love spending time with them on the lake. We also own the property next door, VRBO Property #7497835 and also VRBO Property 3001258).
We figure with 6 kids we may need all 3 houses at the same time someday so planning ahead :-) We reserve the dates we need each summer at each house now and allow others to enjoy the rest and we are excited to know that our guests are making great lasting memories. We look forward to hearing about your vacation and all the fun memories you made as well!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in early 2015 as a small 2 bed 1 bath ranch with no garage and through 2015 and 2016 made it into the amazing house it is today. There is a large photo book at the house that you can enjoy that shows the before, during and after photos. We're excited to share this home with people that we hope appreciate it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Every inch of this house was planned as it is for a reason. In addition to being one of the safest houses out there in terms of fire safety, this house is fully accessible on the main floor once in the house. There are two steps up to the front door or door in the garage, and no steps anywhere on the main floor. All hallways & doorways are 3 ft wide, and the main floor master suite has step-in shower. There is also main floor laundry are on the same level for easy access. There is main floor laundry, plenty of parking, and lots of space to entertain friends in the yard and on the deck, boardwalk, and obviously out on the big water. This lagoon (the size of a short & wide channel about 11 houses long) is a favorite of those that love to fish as it is very quiet and only the fishers, ducks, and tons of fish seem to find their way into it so not a lot of traffic or waves, and it is primarily owner occupant properties around the water so they all help look after the place. The lake is very fun and a great place to make memories!
