Very nice stay at this lake front home! Plenty of room for our large group. The kitchen had all the needed items to cook meals and had nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Roomy bunk room for the kids and nice downstairs with pool table! Great stay!
We had a great time! The house was just as described. It has the best appointed kitchen I've ever seen in a VRBO. If you need it to cook or entertain, this house has it.
The view of the lake is beautiful. The house is spacious and has everything you would need for a family vacation. The beds are very comfortable and having 2 family rooms would be perfect for 2 families with kids.
We had a great time here over the weekend. It was clean and well stocked with supplies. I would recommend this to friends and family looking to stay in the area.
We stayed here off season and enjoyed the quiet and serene setting. The house was perfect for our family - clean, comfortable beds, well equipped, and plenty of room for all of us. The view off the back of the house is stunning. Alison was easy to communicate with and there for us if we had any questions. I would highly recommend a stay here!
What a perfect location! Close to Dowagiac, which was very charming, it is right on the lake, easy traveling with good roads (a huge plus in the winter) and winter sports near by. The home was immaculate. Kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment. Plenty of room to gather and space to break up into groups. Just lovely.
Comfortable and relaxing place to regroup during a large family gathering at a neighboring lake. The upper deck and the easy water access were our most frequently used aspects. We all slept soundly in the beds, too. Communication with Alison and the organized info binder were great.
House was clean, nice decorations, pool table, roomy kitchen and family rooms, 2nd floor deck with lake view was pleasant. Fire pit was very good touch. Many deck chairs.
Our second stay was as good as the first! We did it all: kayaked around the lake, used the pedal boat, fished from the row boat, swam to the platform, roasted marshmallows by the campfire, ate ice cream at Driftwood….. all in a long weekend. The sand hill cranes were an extra bonus this time! I loved hearing them every evening. The house is clean and updated. We found many things to do inside too. We played pool and few board games, and we even finished a 1000 piece puzzle. Thank you, Alison.
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The location, views and relaxed environment couldn’t have been better. We were also extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the large property. Nothing was neglected or gave the impression of just surface level clean. The hosts have thought of everything that might be needed for comfort, even down to an air fryer oven, baby utensils, a safety gate, games, books, extensive water activity coverage.. I could literally go on.
Thank you so much to the hosts for helping create such a perfect experience for me and my family. This was a very special trip to us. I admittedly have high expectations and this stay exceeded them.
We really enjoyed our week at Alison's lake house. The property was clean and very comfortable. We spent a lot of time by the water fishing (bluegill and bass), kayaking, swimming and enjoying the swim raft. There were plenty of chairs down by the water and above by the house to enjoy the view of the peaceful lake! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in. The air worked great on some very hot summer days! When not outside we were playing games at the large table inside or watching the Olympics. Internet service worked well for some remote work that needed to be done. Beds were comfortable. Neighborhood is quiet and pleasant to walk through. Short drive to ice cream on one of the other sister lakes. Any questions were promptly responded to and we were very happy with our stay! Thank you Alison for sharing your home!
This house was perfect for our large family. The downstairs area was exactly what we needed! Dining area also was perfect for our group. And the swimming area was just as we hoped it would be. We were all very happy with this house & all it had to offer.
We had a fantastic stay. We are three couples, and there was plenty of room. The house had everything we needed to make our time there comfortable. The host was friendly and responded immediately to our questions. I would definitely recommend this vrbo.
The house was awesome! Very clean & comfortable.....sandy beach was great! We had 4 older couples & there was plenty of room....everyone really enjoyed it!! Had a blast! Would definitely plan another trip there.
