Hosts were quick to respond to any questions— and the outdoor cats were friendly! Thanks! ##### Geoff H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maureen E. 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private Slice of Heaven We were so pleased with this haven. It's peaceful, comfortable, well-maintained and the hosts were fabulous. Our business was mostly in Plainwell and Otsego, but it's close enough to Kalamazoo if 'nightlife' is important to your visit. Our nightlife dealt with the firepit and the sounds of crickets and toads and gazing at the stars; true relaxation needed during an emotional trip. I would highly recommend staying at this location. ##### Maureen E.

This property is gorgeous. It's quiet and serene with all of the makings of a woodland painting! But you're only 20 minutes from any activity you might like! Many vineyards within a quick drive or go a little further and hit the lake. This was our 25th anniversary getaway and believe me, we'll be back. ##### Melissa T.

Enjoyed the fire ring and the walks near the property. Simple, quiet, very comfortable and clean. Easy drive into Kalamazoo or Plainwell. We will definitely stay there on our next visit to Michigan! ##### Kathleen S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan C. 1 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic location, quiet, close to trail. We were looking to escape the Texas heat for a few weeks in July, and we got what we hoped for, plus a lot more! Just a couple of miles from the Kal-Haven trail, the opportunities for outdoor exercise, relaxation, and recreation are plentiful. A day trip to Lake Michigan (at South Haven) on the warmest day kept us cool, even when the temperature reached close to 90. Local blueberry and other produce farms provide the freshest fruit you could imagine. Close enough to Kalamazoo to enjoy dining and cultural activities, but far enough to be peacefully serene. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating, and the apartment was cozy and had everything we needed to enjoy our extended stay. ##### Dan C. Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2022
