About this house rental
ABOUT OUR PROPERTY: Our house sits on 6 wooded acres, and from it’s hillside perch, enjoys broad views overlooking Bristol Lake. The property is at the end of a quiet, dead-end drive. It has frontage on Stamm Lake (a 4½ acre spring-fed pond), and from Stamm, the property line follows a stream which flows year-round down to Bristol Lake, on which the property has 125 feet of frontage. Bristol is a 165-acre all-sports lake and is excellent for fishing, swimming and all manner of watersports. We have a sandy beach which drops-off gradually until it reaches a depth of around 3 feet (appx. 20’ from shore). From there the depth falls-off more quickly, eventually reaching a depth of 45 feet at closer to 100 yards from shore. As such, the beach and lakeshore are relatively-friendly to younger children (although we recommend life jackets for non-swimmers). We have a raft which is anchored in deeper water (very safe for diving), we also have a dock to park a boat or to get young anglers closer to the many bass & bluegill which hover at the drop-off. Between the house & the shore we have a large grassy yard with enough trees to give some comfortable shade in the sunny summer afternoons. We have a hammock in the trees and a fire pit on the beach. The yard is large enough for whiffle-ball, volleyball, croquet or practically any variety of other yard games. The 6 acres of woods have a series of short trails which are fun for a short afternoon stroll. ABOUT THE HOUSE: New construction, built with premium materials and systems. At appx. 4,300sf, it has 8 bedrooms, 3½ baths and enough beds to sleep 20 (see plans in photo section). Our kitchen has large areas granite countertop, allowing many participants in food preparation. We have both a large and a small refrigerator, a double-oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, ample cabinets and a walk-in pantry. We have a large dining table as well as folding picnic tables and an umbrella table on the deck (which overlook the lake). There are areas to sit & talk on every level. The lower level has a rec room equipped with both a ping-pong and a pool table. This room opens thru 2 sliding doors onto a patio (which also overlooks the lake). A TV room on the upper level is great for kids watching late-night movies. ABOUT THE BRISTOL LAKE COMMUNITY: Bristol Lake offers a wonderful mix of active recreation and quiet relaxation. Many of the property-owners on the lake live here year-round. It is our desire to offer this vacation rental to families which will appreciate the serenity of this community and be respectful of our neighbors. Keeping noise levels low (especially after dark), maintaining slow speeds on the entry drive, and keeping the grounds in good order are all elements of making a visit satisfying to all involved. If you choose to book with us, we ask that you make a commitment to be a good neighbor.

The house was perfect for our family. The layout of the kitchen and livingroom allowed our family of 14 to be together while playing games or eating at the same time at one table. The kitchen was well stocked. The owner was readily available whenever we had a question. Our family would love to return.

Perfect house. Very roomy. We had 12 ppl and still had lots of room. Ray was very easy to message and get a hold of if needed. Very well stocked with towels, washclothes, garbage bags, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels. Also, shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. No need to bring any of it. We had a fire pit, bring your own wood. Chairs to set up were provided. Lots of kitchen utensils and small appliances to use, plenty of plates, glassware, Lots of games, cards.
FYI: driveway can be a little trickey so be aware of where you are going when going up drive.
Would defintely stay again.
Thanks Ray and Sue

Outstanding property that is very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. We had 16 family members stay at the house and had plenty of room for everyone. The location is absolutely beautiful with plenty of outdoor gathering spots between the waterfront, porch, patio, and yard. Only word of caution is if you have anyone in your party that has difficulty with stairs this is not the place for you. There are no bedrooms on the main level so you will use the stairs many times during your stay. Overall a fantastic location that we will use again.

We had a great time at this home. It has everything we could have wanted for a great week--the kitchen was well stocked with everything, there were enough towels and beds and things to do. Kayaks were provided as well as life jackets. The beach area was a favorite for the little kids and there was a small play set for them as well. The pool table was well utilized and the front deck was a great place to hang out. We had enough room in the yard to play whiffle ball and croquet. It was a quiet area and we much enjoyed ourselves.

We loved the house, the property, and the location!!! It was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 10 children. The home was well stocked with four refrigerators, two coffee makers, a Keurig, and lots of spices in the cabinet. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again. The owners were very responsive to our questions.

The house was fabulous and we had such an amazing time!!! The design and layout is very well thought out. You can feel the love that went into the home! It was a perfect location to disconnect with long time friends and their families. The house has lots of activities for people of all ages to do together and enough space/areas for everyone to have great times together as well as separate. The owners were great- pleasant and super easy to work with. The property was well stocked with everything you could need. The kids absolutely loved to pontoon boat which you can rent directly from the owners and it sits right at thier dock. Very private/wooded setting while being right on the lake made it very picturesque. Pictures dont do it justice. Will likely return in the future! Highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

With our need for accommodations for our group of 12 for a nearby Church retreat, we were excited to find this gorgeous place on VRBO. Though there are plenty of pictures on the site, the majesty of this place was not fully captured. We were wowed when we arrived. Our host was very gracious as well. Highly recommended!

This was a great home. Everything was supplied and supplied well. I was especially impressed to find tissues and high-quality toilet tissue (a rare find in a VRBO.) Everyone loved the place - plenty of space, lots of room outside, very clean. Only thing I'd change is the plastic glasses that get scarred from the dishwasher. Such a minor thing. 5 Stars all the way.

Our stay was for an annual company retreat. Fortunately for us, our other accommodations fell through - and we found Ray's property! The house provided everything we needed. The weather was wonderful, and we were able to enjoy the property, and surrounding areas. We look forward to another stay.

We had wonderful weather to enjoy all the outdoor activities available! The owner was responsive when we experienced a plumbing issue. The kitchen, with a nice sized pantry, is very well stocked but could maybe update the website including more of what is in the kitchen to avoid parties taking extra things along. (Example: Keurig coffee pots) Beautiful decks with beautiful views of the lake. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and catching minnows. A nice addition to the property would be a supply of firewood. Secluded yet not too far from a dollar store for supplies forgotten. A great part-way location for families coming from both Grand Rapids and Chicago. We hope to come back next year!

We travel to Michigan often with our group, but this has been our best trip so far! It is a beautiful house and property with plenty of space for everyone. The lake is fantastic… was so much fun taking the boat out to put around and swim. Trails in the back were gorgeous. All around a great trip for 10 people and 2 dogs!

We had a wonderful time at this house. There was plenty of room for everyone (16 adults and 2 infants) we rent a different house each year and this is the first one everyone wants to come back too. The lake is very quiet. Great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The yard is large with plenty of room to play games. There is a steep hill down to the lower yard which could be difficult to traverse if you had seniors with you. The house was very clean and well appointed with bedding and towels. We had a great week ! Loved everything.

We spent a week here with our family of 14 kids age 10 months to 12 years old and 10 adults. There was plenty space for everyone. The 2 loft bedrooms were a hit because the cousins could all be together. The kitchen is well stocked and the 3 refrigerators are great. There is a large yard for all the games we played as well. Thank you for a great week.

Arrived promptly at 4PM on the start of the reservation and was greeted with easy access and a clean place (driveway is a bit of a doozy). The bedrooms offered a decent amount of variety for the guests with clean linens. The bathrooms were well stocked and allowed for everyone to shower without having to do laundry. Kitchen was very accommodating for the meal we prepared on Friday. Location feels very remote for where it’s located (a good thing).
Thanks Ray

We had such an amazing weekend at this beautiful property. We come from a large family and we were all in town to meet up for a family funeral in a nearby town. We had 20 guests and we all felt like there was plenty of room for all of us. Our ages ranged from 4-60 and everybody had a very wonderful time. Although we were not around much during the day we were able to experience all of the amazing amenities in the evenings. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you may need (we counted at least three crockpots!). We found an Aldi about 20 minutes away and were able to buy plenty of groceries to make wonderful meals both nights. All the bathrooms have extra towels and toiletries. The house itself had games, multiple TVs, a wonderful game room and absolutely breathtaking views on all levels.. If you manage to get up early you can even watch the sunrise pop-up right over the lake. The bedrooms were clean and there was plenty of comfy bedding to go around. The yard is large and the beach front was equipped with a fishing rod, canoes and plenty of lifejackets. Although it was too cold to swim, the kids loved wading in the shallow water and playing on the beach and hammock. We had a lovely time catching up and taking in all the beautiful views. The only negative part of our trip was that we wish we could stay longer. Owners were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Instructions and the check in process was very easy to follow too. This place is such a hidden gem!
