Pontoon Trip
We absolutely love this place! A perfect house on the lake with a modern pontoon boat. Mike is an excellent host and has the house well equipped with everything you could possibly need! The lake has very good fishing and is also big enough to not get over crowded on the weekends. Probably the best lake we have ever been to!

Nice Getaway
This cottage is small but has everything you need. It comfortably fit 3 adults and 2 small dogs. Kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and bathroom had plenty of towels for everyone. We chose it because it was directly on the lake. It’s a quiet community with nice neighbors. Grocery store, gas station, pizza and ice cream shop were less than 5 min away. The pontoon was very much worth it. Boat was in good shape and the lake was family friendly and easy to navigate. Mike was a great host and checked in frequently. The cabin did have a musty smell but that could be do to the weather (rained some days). Unfortunately the propane tank for the grill ran out on our second time using it. Mike responded quickly and did offer resolutions however it seemed like an oversight. Regardless, we had a positive stay and still recommend this place!

Great little please for a getaway
Mike’s property is great if looking to spend time outdoors. We enjoyed the use of the grill, dinner under gazebo, fire pit, kayaks, paddle boat and also took his pontoon out (separate fee). Not many vacation rentals offer boat rental and was a nice extra to be able to enjoy, especially the sunset over the lake. We also enjoyed the location being on a channel, quieter.

Great get away
Great two bedroom cottage - it is on a quiet canal on Gun lake. Cottage was clean with all the amenities you need accept for food. We took our own boat and explored the lake. Explored surrounding towns and had a great time. Give this place a 5 star.

Great Lake Cottage
We just checked out this morning. It was one of the best cottages we've ever stayed at. The lake channel is perfect for younger kids & adults to be able to kayak, paddle board and fish. It's safer, less wake and peaceful. The cottage came fully stocked. I only had to purchase a cheap 9x13 pan to bake brownies for the kids. So many great bath towels. Our grandchildren thought they had to shower daily, therefore we went through all of them them quickly. I was so thankful for the large capacity washer and dryer. Once again, fully stocked with detergent and softener sheets. We rented the pontoon boat also. Had a great time pulling the kids around on the 2-person tube we just bought. Overall, a fantastic week! Thank you Mike! Becky from Kalamazoo

Great Gun Lake cottage on channel
We came in for a wedding at Bay Pointe Inn so location was close & convenient. We planned to bring our pontoon but opted out as had too many activities which ended up being fine but there is dock space to have your own boat. VRBO is cute and outside area is awesome to relax & enjoy! Owner communication was awesome and had no issues with VRBO. We thought we would never want a cottage on channel but it was very enjoyable especially with breeze coming off water while in backyard.

We enjoyed our stay at Gun Lake. We brought our dog with us and she enjoyed it as well. We rented Mike's boat and had a good time out on the lake. The lake is really nice. Nice quiet neighborhood since it's on the channel. Place was just right for us. Nothing over the top just right for a nice get away.
