Nice, Peaceful Stay with a Lakeview

Beautiful home and well cared for! We enjoyed the lake view from the inside large open floor plan with lots of windows. Nico loved the large, beautiful enclosed back yard. It’s convenient to have 2 bathrooms too. It would be nice to come back in the warmer months to enjoy that long front porch. The owners were very accommodating and responded quickly. We visited all 3 restaurants they recommended. Great food! Highly recommend this home!!!

Great Winter Getaway with Pets

We enjoyed our weekend here. The hosts are great at communication, answering any questions we had very quickly. The furniture is comfortable and has a great layout. Everything we needed was there. We really appreciated having the wood and fire starters available! We also really appreciated the setup was pet friendly. The fenced in yard was a great advantage! It was close to town and I would love to come back and see it in the summer!

Lovely house with great lake view

Lovely place to stay! The view of the lake from the house was excellent and it was a short walk to the stairs for the beach. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was clean and well setup. No complaints & would stay here again!

Great property!

Spent 4 days at this house and couldn’t have been more pleased. It’s dog friendly with nice fenced back yard. The location is lake front in quiet neighborhood. South Haven is short drive away and nice little town. Would stay again if in the area.

Amazing Getaway- pleasantly surprised!

This property is incredible. Literally perfect for my fiance and I and our 2 bigger pups. gorgeous view of the lake, easy access to a private beach, perfect balcony and backyard to enjoy with your pets. Place was super clean and had everything we could possibly need. Hosts were super responsive. We did not want to leave and wanted to extend! Hoping to come here every few months for a getaway. Didn’t get to explore the town because we loved the house so much! Highly recommend just don’t book it out over us!

Great stay for our small family

We loved the location of this home! Just a few short steps to the tram which takes you down to the most peaceful and beautiful beach! We loved spending time on the lake, and also appreciated the proximity to town. The home and kitchen had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Bonus points for the fenced in yard for our dog!

Holiday weekend stay

Great quiet, pet friendly location for a holiday weekend. We had a little trouble finding the location as we arrived after dark so we turned on lakeview road and not beach road so we were confused. Once we found the property all was well. Amenities as described and kitchen was well stocked with all items to make a comfortable stay. We managed with one bathroom for 4 guests on this short weekend but might be a bit difficult with more people and longer stay. The owner did notify that a second bathroom is being renovated. Loved visiting South Haven their shops and the local markets for fresh produce and meats. Enjoyed lots of walks around the neighborhood. A lovely relaxing weekend. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Family Getaway

Overall, our stay was great for kids, teens and adults. Nothing too fancy that 9-10 year olds could break 😅 but structurally safe and sound. Great location. We understand the massive amount of work that goes into renting as we are landlords as well. Good luck with your renovations! See you next time! We
