We had a great time at Montcalm Lake House. The place was well-maintained and clean, and had everything a family would need to spend a peaceful weekend away from the city lifestyle. The hosts were beyond helpful and accommodating. Thank you, Matt and Kari, for your thoughtfulness!
Loved this house and lake! Check in and communication was great. Clean, as pictured and well stocked. Comfy inside and out. Loved the beach plus the fully stocked beach shed - floats, toys, kayaks, paddle boat you name it. We loved floating on the quiet lake and the good local food around. Plus visits from the neighborhood cats!
The view from the living room looking over the lake was amazing. We had a very relaxing time spending our days down by the water. The kids loved all the sand and beach toys. We also went fishing several times and caught a few nice size bass.
Great experience. Everything we needed was easy to find. The owners are very helpful. We had plenty of room and a great location to have a group of 10 together for the weekend!
Property is clean and exactly as it looks in the photos. We enjoyed being right on the water for the views and being able to enjoy swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and the paddle boat. Home was well stocked! Would definitely return.
We had a very nice stay enjoying the comfort of the home and the outdoor space the home provides. The children loved playing in the water and the little beach area. The home is equipped with all the things we needed for our stay. Thanks Matt and Kari.
My family and I had fun, we made the best of the situation, the situation im talking about is the amount of steps to the lake, in the house, to the garage ect. lol itâs my own fault, I booked this Lakehouse on a whim, should have researched better. The house was clean, the garage was fun, spent a lot of time in there. I was disappointed with the area by the water, nothing was cleaned off, spiders and spider webs very abundant, overall we had a good time but wonât be back ( because of all the dang steps) lolDave
The property description was spot on. The beach area is beautiful. The only small problem we had was we wanted to use the grill and it was pretty dirty and they didnât have a grill brush. They communicated quickly with us, we went and bought one and they sent us Venmo. So problem was solved fast. My son was married in Edmore so not too far from the lake house for him and his groomsman to have a place to stay one evening and my other adult children the next evening. I would highly recommend.
The house was very clean and well maintained. The view during the day and in the evening are amazing. We had a lot of fun in the garage area after golf playing ping pong and pool. A few of us got in the hot tub which also was very clean and well maintained. We had a great golf trip and this property was the perfect place to come back to after 18 holes for some fun and relaxation. The Owners / Host Matt & Lari were available at anytime through not much was needed. Their are extremely friendly and easy to deal with and communicate with. We rented the property the first week of May so not to much playing in the lake, but we did spend time down by the water and it was a great space to catch up with great friends you only get to see once a year.
We loved our stay. A couple childhood friends and I gathered for an annual reunion trip, and we could not have picked a better spot. Not too much of a drive from Grand Rapids and we thoroughly enjoyed the ping pong, hot tub, and ice fishing. Matt and Kari were great hosts. Highly recommend.
This property was amazing. The photos were so accurate to the house, and everything was just as expected. The place was really clean, the view was spectacular, and the hot tub was a phenomenal experience in the winter. The hosts were so kind, and were so easy to get a hold of, I donât have one bad thing to say about this stay.
I think this would be a "great" stay in the summer for the cost. In the winter, for us, it was "good." The house was clean and well stocked other than we did have an issue with cleanliness for two of the comforters. The home is very close to the neighbors and seems larger in the pictures. The pictures also show a wood fired outdoor fire pit type unit, that was not present at the time of our stay, instead there was a propane heater type fire pit. That was sad for us as we brought firewood expecting to enjoy a warm, relaxing fire by the lake side.The game room was certainly awesome for my family with teenage kids. We enjoyed hours of competition. The hot tub is a must for my kids and this particular hot tub was spacious and clean with a very nice cover. The trim in the home was very well done, all oak, and nicely fitted. Looked to be freshly painted as well. Very nice cabinets and fixtures. Overall the home was very nice, although I have to say overpriced for a winter stay. The neighbors were close but friendly enough.
This was a very clean and wonderful place! Plenty of room for us and the kitchen had everything we needed. We all were very happy with our stay & owners were easily accessible if needed. We had an absolute blast in the game room as we all are competitive đ We are all extremely satisfied & would love to stay again.
We had a girlâs trip weekendâŠ.Matt and Kari have many special touches that make the stay even sweeter. House is beautiful- view is breathtaking! Beds were amazingly comfortable! Would definitely stay again. Great hosts who are super helpful!
Its a lovely property, beautiful view, clean and nicely decorated. We used the beach, the paddleboat, the kayak, the firepit, the kitchen and the gameroom! We invented no limits, no boundaries ping pong and threw out all rules pertaining to pool.
We had a nice weekend at this lake house. We enjoyed the beach area, kayaking, peddle boating, and swimming in the lake. The house accommodations were adequate and perfect for the 5 of us.
This home was extremely clean, well-stocked, and homey. Lots of great areas to hang out both indoors and out. You cannot beat the view from the living room and decks! The lake is nice and quiet and ideal for paddleboarding and
This lake house is set up perfectly for lots of family fun. It was amazing to have the kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and pedal boat provided, not to mention the game room, which was a great hang out space for our older kids. They also liked walking to the general store for ice cream.
In our opinion, this house has the best outdoor living space on the lake. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, fires on the beach, and the gorgeous lake views from every vantage point.
The beach and lake were so clean, and the water was so warm! We enjoyed all of the amenities this home had to offer. Lots of stairs so young babies/toddlers and elderly may not be the best fit. But we loved it! Great little town called Lakeview nearby to explore & plenty of beautiful state parks & nature preserves in the area to hike. We loved that the beach was nice & shaded so we werenât so worried about kiddos getting sunburned.
