Your home away from home on beautiful Murray Lake, 25 minutes from Grand Rapids!
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!
