We had a wonderful holiday stay here. It’s the halfway point between Ann Arbor and Chicago so it was a perfect location for all of my kids. The girls loved the year round pool and hot tub. The game room was a hit also. Very clean, lots of room for everyone. My only complaint is the lack of garbage bags. We only had two and had to resort to Meijer plastic bags which didn’t work very well.

Overall, our stay was wonderful. We had 14 adults including one teenager and one dog. Everyone had comfortable areas with ample space for sleeping, eating, and relaxing, playing games, etc. We were all pleased with the location so close to Lake Michigan. We were able to walk there and enjoy the beach.Our only issues were with a few things that did not work properly. Number one was the grill. We were grilling hotdogs and about halfway through the entire grill went up in flames. Had to quickly remove the hot dogs and it took about a half an hour for the flames to go down after turning it off.The toaster needs to be replaced.The oven had some residue lleft in it that caused it to smoke when we went to use it.For some reason, the fans in the bathrooms will not turn off.The code for the front door did not work when we arrived, but we were able to reach the host within about five minutes and then were able to get in. Again, our stay was lovely overall and we would consider renting again.

Colleen (the owner) was awesome and responsive! We had an amazing 3 days over Thanksgiving weekend! There were enough dishes, and the kitchen had what we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the house accommodated all 14 of us without issue. I would recommend this home to anyone. It was beautiful and was even better than the pictures. Thanks for a fun time with family making memories!

The house was gorgeous, beautifully decorated, and super spacious! It had everything you could possibly think of and more when it came to amenities. Super close to trails, beach, and South Haven, and just a short drive to other great towns too. Communication with our host was swift and reliable if we had any questions. The indoor pool in the neighborhood was such a highlight for my kids, given that we went in early fall, so Lake Michigan was a bit too cold for swimming. Absolutely can’t say enough great things about our stay! Would highly recommend!

We had 11 adults and one child stay for the weekend. The home had plenty of room for all of us. It was very clean. There were plenty of place settings for all of us and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was right down the street even though we didn’t use it. Not really close enough to walk to downtown South Haven but it’s a very short car ride.

Ladies Group Getaway

A wonderful mid-winter getaway location. 12 ladies enjoyed the spacious kitchen/dining/living area and multiple roomy bathrooms. The view from the living room was lovely but window coverings are needed to block the morning light if anyone is sleeping there. When we arrived there was wet laundry in the washer and dirty sheets laying on 1 bed but when we contacted owner, that was remedied. Listing says “2 double sofa beds” in Living Room 1 and “1 Double Sofa Bed” in Living Room 2. There are NO sofa beds. There ARE sofas you could sleep on but they do not fold out into beds. The basement was cold with no means of heating it. Short walk to the pool (a bit chilly in there) and a relatively short walk to the Lake. Nice walking trails. Rental level cleanliness but would benefit from a deep level of cleaning.

Can we please come back next year????

We are a small performance art organization based in Chicago, and rented this gorgeous home for our annual winter retreat. We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The space was cozy, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully arranged. The accommodations were top-notch, with comfortable rooms, clean bathrooms, and a fully-stocked kitchen, which made our stay that much more enjoyable. We really appreciated the clear directions, with helpful details both on the front-end and in the on-site directions booklet. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-located retreat, or family vacation! This is our favorite space out of our many retreats over the years and we'd love to return next year.
