Lovely spot in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed our stay. Beds were clean and comfortable - we made dinner one evening and were able to locate everything we needed. We visit the area every fall and would absolutely consider staying here again!

The home was immaculately clean, which is very important to me, especially with two little boys. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening, and the boys enjoyed sleeping in the large beds upstairs. We visited Warren Dunes every day since it was just 5 minutes away. We also visited Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and Fennville to pick apples. This home really allows you to relax and unwind with family.

This place served as the perfect “home base” during our stay as it provided easy access to Warren Dunes and several local breweries. We enjoyed seeing the deer in the back yard everyday as well!

Finally, a well-stacked vacation rental!

This property was very comfortable and had all the fixings of home--extra blankets, pillows, plenty of dishes, great coffee making supplies and more. The homey-ness was much appreciated after a long day of playing at the beach.

Great Place!

We had a perfect stay! Location was 10 minutes to DC Cook Nuclear plant. When you work 12 hour shifts, you really want to be close like this!We had no issues with the residence. Will definitely try to stay here next time we are in town.

This was the perfect place for us to use as a home base to go to Bridgman, Baroda, Stevensville, New Buffalo, etc. I would highly recommend it as a centrally located, newly renovated home. It's clear, well stocked, ans perfect for a long weekend or more! You could even work from there with how good the wifi was.A few things to know that are probably called out in other reviews and I didn't read them lol....- It's very close to railroad tracks and they are used quite a bit, so if you're a light sleeper bring earplugs and/or a sound machine. - It's very close to the highway so if you're thinking of hanging out in the yard, bring a speaker to cover the traffic noise. - My husband jokingly called this place "Aracna-home-bia" because there were orb weaver spiders all over the place. (I only got one pic because they give me the heebie jeebies but maybe you're into arachnids) Lol- Drive slowly on Maple because there are a full family of deer that meander around in the early morning and evening (it's pretty fun to watch the young ones play)- Squirrels love to play in the walnut tree - DON'T PARK UNDER IT. Dents will ensue. )

Stayed with family - including 3 year old and older small dog. Super convenient to Warren Dunes State Park (beaches and hiking trails) - there is a dog beach a the far end of the parking lots. Easy access to coffee shop (loved Infusco), restaurants (loved Susan's) and Sawyer Garden Home center - which has terrific fruit veggies and all your grocery and most beach needs. On a quiet low traffic cul-de-sac too. Very comfortable stay!

Gorgeous place

Wonderful accommodations including a fabulous bed, furnishings, kitchen appliances, and the softest sheets and blankets!! The decor was soothing as were the plentiful windows. Showers, marble floors and wood floors were exquisite! And there are robes!!! Hosts are fantastic and so accommodating.

Great location, so easy to get everywhere. House and layout - super cute, comfortable and clean, hostess was great to work with. This is certainly not a big deal or a dealbreaker, but a little suggestion - big plant and stand behind the sofa could be moved out to provide more space. Would recommend for sure!! Thank you

Comfortable and inviting

We had a great time here, and we appreciated and admired the attention to detail in design and furnishings--it was excellent. Carla has created a relaxing and inviting space! I also liked that the home book was provided to help enhance our stay, and was not a list of "do nots". Great location with easy access to all the local towns and Warren Dunes beach. Highly recommend.

This home has a lot going for it. The location is fantastic—minutes from Warren Dunes and close to 94 without feeling like you’re right on top of the highway. The interior layout is lovely, and the California king bed was wonderfully comfortable.A few things to be aware of: the tree next to the house gives squirrels easy access to the roof, and they were pretty active (and loud!) over the upper bedroom. I also found a handful of lady beetles inside, and there was some dog hair left on the couch. The outside space could use a little freshening up to match the inviting feel indoors.Overall, a pleasant stay with great potential if a few details are tightened up.

The location of this property was on a lovely and quiet road. We especially loved seeing the deer in the backyard. We were literally 3 minutes away from Warren Dunes State Park ( our primary destination). We brought our dog and the house was perfectly suited for pets. The decor was tasteful and contemporary. The bedrooms were beautifully appointed and the bathrooms felt like a spa. There were many books, games and puzzles, as well as 50 inch tv. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for anyone who is looking for a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by adorable little towns.

House was recently remodeled and very clean. Street is very quiet overall. Traffic from nearby highway is audible but not visible. House would benefit from some beach accessories: umbrella, chairs, cooler, towels. Also some more towel hooks in the bathrooms would be helpful.
