We had a group of friends stay for a long weekend to enjoy some fishing, games and relaxation. This was the perfect place for that! Everything was exactly as described (or even better in some cases!). They really go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable and enjoy your stay. I will definitely be looking to book again in the near future.

Awesome Vacation

We had a great time. The kitchen was large enough for everyone to help prepare meals. The bedrooms were nice. The great room had a wonderful view of the lake. Everyone enjoyed the swimming, kayaks and boats. The game room was used by all. We have already booked another week for next summer.

Heavenly retreat!

What an amazing property and location. My wife and two teens spent an amazing week fishing, playing games in the game room and relaxing. The owners are wonderful people who truly care about making sure renters have everything they need. Communication was outstanding and fast. They truly paid attention to small details that really helps renters like labeling all the light switches in the cabin so you know what lights you were turning on. We were also welcomed with a smores kit, information about the cabin and things to do very well laid out and some many other little things the owners do that really makes you feel like they truly care. We only rented the main cabin and was impressed with how clean and well maintained everything was. The layout is great for families and big groups. We spent a lot of time downstairs in the game room playing pool, ping pong, shuffleboard and video games (New machine delivered right before we got there). We spent our days on the dock and in the boat fishing on the private lake. My son caught a very nice pike right off the doc. I could go on and on, to many great things to list. If you want a quiet location to relax in a beautiful cabin this is your place! We're already trying to figure out when we can come back!

Amazing Hosts, Views & Experience!

My now-husband and I booked the Grass Lake Lodge for an intimate family wedding. The house and property are absolutely gorgeous; the view of the lake is visible through huge windows and it was so nice to wake up to every day. Bob and Karen have clearly thought through every detail of hosting guests; from a welcoming note & surprise gift upon check-in to keeping the bathrooms plentifully stocked with lotion, shampoo & conditioner. The basement offered plenty of 'friendly' competition and entertainment with the pool table, the ping pong table and a large TV, and of course, a walk-out to the hot tub. The hot tub was so relaxing, and the location offered a nice view of the lake while being close to the house. Loved being able to listen to music through the built-in system! Bob & Karen were gracious enough to allow us to have this small event, and were so awesome through the entire booking & checking-in process, even making several recommendations for local food & bartending services for the wedding which turned out to be amazing. If you stay here, we highly recommend using the 'GLL Extras' for bartending (Celeste) & The Blue Cow for the Private Chef experience. The caretakers were friendly and took great care of the place, even coming to help us when one of the speakers on-site wasn't working properly. We definitely plan on staying here again. Bob and Karen are AMAZING hosts!! Thank you again for trusting us with doing something a bit outside the norm on your property. :)

We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge and the Carriage House. We spent lots of time on the patios and decks just relaxing and enjoying the peace. We did the massage and executive chef experiences and they were just fantastic. This location is in a nice small town, but within an easy drive of Grand Rapids and Michigan Adventures amusement park - lots to do!

We had such an amazing time during our stay at Grass Lake Lodge. My fiancé and I celebrated a joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend with our close friends and all of the amenities made it the perfect lake weekend getaway to celebrate our upcoming marriage! We grilled out, swam, fished, kayaked, enjoyed the hot tub, and played lots of games. 10/10 would recommend! Bob was so kind and made us feel so welcome. I'd love to return one day with our future kids!
