Great location, very clean and nicely furnished and well equipped. The goodie bag for our pups was a great gesture. The only concern was the sheer unfenced drop-off next to the property. Other than that it was a great choice for few days at the lake. The management team was great- Checking in with us to see if we were in need of anything. Impressive. ##### Kenneth B. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol H. 25 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home Very clean, comfortable house. Kitchen is fairly well stocked. Bring your own spices etc. if you plan on doing much cooking. Both fireplaces had broken screens and ignition didn’t work. That was a disappointment as nights were cool and it would have been nice to use one of them. House is nestled in lovely wooded area with vaulted ceiling and wall to wall windows which create a beautiful space. Bed is very comfortable and linens and towels are good quality. There were some minor repairs that should be attended to which I passed along to management company. A very nice home which I would recommend. We’d like to return. ##### Carol H. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul S. 15 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Retreat The house was wonderful for 4 adults, 3 year old and 3 small dogs. House had large areas to cook, eat and relax. It was clean and spacious for our family. The nice sandy beach was a short walk and a flight of stairs, so we also got some steps in. The big windows on the main floor allowed us to see the trees and the windows on the top floor showed gorgeous sunsets over the lake. The location was only a short drive to downtown South Haven and freeway, so an ideal spot. Notes/Suggestions: - The descriptions of the house only says Dog Friendly, but there are extra fees you need to pay. I suggest adding the fee amount to the description. Also, I would recommend adding stepping stones/pavers to the grass area. It was challenging for children (and adults) to get to the grass area from back deck. - The amount of the stay per day/night is not including all the extra fees you end up paying. Suggest having all those extra fees be included to give you a more accurate description. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your house. ##### Paul S.

The private beach was beautiful and offered an amazing sunset viewing spot. The house was perfect for unwinding, relaxing on the spacious deck and enjoying the lovely bird songs from the many trees on the property. The soaking tub was the best way to end the day. We fully enjoyed our trip and would visit again. Staff was wonderful and prompt with responding to questions. ##### Molly F. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ---
