This bright and airy lakefront home in Lowell, Michigan is the perfect getaway for families, friend groups, or anyone seeking relaxation, fun on the water, and cozy evenings by the fire. The house features 3 comfortable, spacious bedrooms—one with a king bed, one with a queen, and one with four twin beds (2 bunks, twin, and trundle)—plus a pack 'n play and a twin rollaway bed for extra sleeping space. There are two full bathrooms: one with a shower and one with a shower/bathtub. A washer and dryer are also available for guest use. Step outside to enjoy the best of lake life! The home offers multiple outdoor spaces to make the most of your stay. A large wrap-around deck off the main level provides lake views, a gas grill, and plenty of space for lounging or dining. Below that, a brick patio offers a covered retreat on rainy days. Down by the water, you’ll find a separate lakeside deck with a fire pit—the perfect place for roasting marshmallows or stargazing while the frogs sing to you. The house sits at the mouth of a peaceful channel that opens into Murray Lake’s liveliest coves. Guests love to swim or float off the dock and enjoy the energetic atmosphere—boats often anchor nearby for swimming and socializing, especially on warm weekends. Murray Lake is a favorite for fishing and water sports. Anglers will appreciate excellent fishing for Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Yellow Perch, and Crappie. Kayaking, paddle boarding, tubing, and wakeboarding are also popular. A beautiful pontoon boat is available to rent for an additional fee—seats up to 10 adults and includes life jackets. Inside, comfort and entertainment abound. The home features two inviting living rooms, each with a Roku-enabled TV for streaming your favorite shows. One bedroom also has a TV. Two cozy gas fireplaces (one on each level) add warmth and charm, especially during fall or winter stays. The downstairs living room includes an air hockey table and a closet stocked full of family board games, making it a perfect hangout spot for kids and grown-ups alike. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or an extended retreat, this home has everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay. Keep us in mind for the winter too! During the colder months, the beauty of Murray Lake transforms into a winter wonderland, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Ice fishing on the lake offers a peaceful way to catch local fish, while snowshoeing and cross-country skiing along nearby trails let you explore the serene winter landscape. Fall is equally stunning, with vibrant foliage surrounding the lake and nearby parks—perfect for scenic hikes or a relaxing day outside enjoying the crisp air and colorful views.

Overall, the property was great. Location on the lake was amazing and the house was lovely! We had 4 adults and 4 13/14 year old boys. The boys enjoyed fishing and swimming. The adults enjoyed the deck and relaxing. The house was clean and perfect for our group. The kitchen had all items needed for cooking, plus extra comfort items such as things for coffee and s'mores. There were plenty of towels and linens. Carrie was great to communicate with and was available during our stay if we needed anything. Great location for a relaxing weekend or stay longer and enjoy breweries in Grand Rapids. I would highly recommend this property. ##### Andrea K.

I’ve stayed at many VRBOs and Airbnbs—this one ranks at the very top.The home was spotless, even better than the photos, and the check-in process was seamless. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. My wife said it best: “This place feels warm and friendly, like they genuinely enjoy having people stay.” Every detail—big and small—was thoughtfully considered.One standout feature was a well-organized binder with clear instructions, local restaurant menus, and a history of both Murray Lake and the home. It gave us a deeper appreciation for the property and its story.A favorite moment: the complimentary s’mores station by the outdoor propane fire pit—simple, memorable, and reflective of the care put into every aspect of the home.We absolutely loved our stay and plan to return next year. Highly recommend. ##### Philip M.

The cottage was beautifully finished with everything you can imagine and then some. The host was amazing and attentive to our needs. We recommend renting the pontoon boat.. definitely worth the cost. The lake is gorgeous and clean and the fishing was superb. The neighbors are great and it’s quiet. We loved it so much and would definitely go there again. Thanks again! ##### Shannan C.
