The house is beautiful, clean, safe. We had family from ages 7 weeks old to 75 years old, and all were in awe of the beautiful view of the lake from the many common spaces. We had a wonderful time!
Family vacation with 10 people;House had more than enough space for everyone. Lots of room for kids to play.View of the lake was beautiful! Everything in the house was in great order and as pictured. Can’t wait to come back!
We had 11 people in our group - three generations from 7 to 70, and this house had everything we needed. The private beach and beautiful lake views were the best parts, but the kids also loved the tennis court, large yard, and basement bunk room! The family room is even bigger than it looks in pictures and offered beautiful views. The location of this home is amazing! Very short drive to many great towns.
This property was amazing, the perfect location for people of all ages. Plenty for teens to do to occupy themselves for a long weekend without having to leave. Sunsets were amazing even on a cloudy evening. Great stay!
House was as exactly as advertised & wonderful for our family. Perfect to have a usable yard for our smallest family members & the beach access was ideal 😊
My group stayed for 3 nights with 6 adults and 1 toddler. We had plenty of room for all of us! The view from the house is gorgeous, and the beach access is so convenient. The house itself was very clean and well-maintained. We would all stay there again in a heartbeat.
We had a great time visiting Saugatuck. The home on Lake Michigan had all the amenities we needed and more. Chris was great to work with and very accommodating.
We had a wonderful week. The home provided everything our group needed. It was close to the community’s of South Haven, Douglas,Saugatuck, and Holland. Sunsets were spectacular and being able to listen to the waves was relaxing
Wonderful stay for 7 lifelong friends to celebrate our 60th birthdays. So many spots for us to gather and hang out. Water views were stunning! Comfy beds, updated home, located among mansions and very private. Very responsive property manager.
Beautiful, well-kept lakeside property. The home was clean, spacious, updated and well-stocked with everything you need. Chris is the Property Manager and is quick to answer all your questions, extremely helpful. We had a group of six adults and had the time of our lives - fully enjoyed the deck, the breath-taking sunsets and the firepit at night. THANK YOU CHRIS for an amazing Michigan adventure. We will definitely book here again!
Home was clean with many amenities. The yard was big with plenty to do for the kids. Great beach, good for walking and sand castle building. Bring your water shoes as lake is rocky but there is a nice sand bar just past the rocks. The water was nice and warm at beginning of week but storms came through mid-week and got very chilly. Saugatuck and South Haven are not far away and we enjoyed restaurants, putt putt and shopping. We had ages from 2 to seniors and everyone enjoyed their stay. Check in was easy and Chris was very responsive to emails. Thanks for a good week.
Perfect location with incredible views of Lake Michigan. The house had everything we needed, was clean and the layout was wonderful for gathering for conversations, games, relaxing and enjoying the private beach. Easy drive to restaurants and area attractions. Chris was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!
The house has everything you could need and the view was unlike anywhere we’ve stayed before. The private beach offered our kids hours of endless entertainment! A perfect family vacation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
We are a group of older women on our annual gathering. Enjoyed days on the beach and evenings around the campfire. The rocky beach and lake presented a challenge for some, but we managed it with shoes. The house had everything we needed and is a beautiful place to enjoy Michigan's greatest lake. We loved every minute!
This was our second year renting this home and it was another wonderful vacation. The house is always clean and ready to go. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. The best part, according to my kids is the beach and yard. The screened in porch is also a very popular place to hang. Thanks for a wonderful week!
This property met all of our needs so nicely. The owner Chris, was very pleasant to work with and prompt in answering any questions. The accommodations were very comfortable for the 10 of us. The yard and property is well maintained and perfect for backyard games. This property includes enough amenities for families to play together and relax together. Access to Lake Michigan is very easy! Overall a memorable family time!!
