Stay
The property was overall great for family and space. The basement was very cold and had to bring heaters to hell heat it up, there was a lot of stink bugs, chlorine was so strong it burned the kids skin and gave them rashes.

OK Time
Property is quite old and hasn't been updated in years. There is a lot of space and the pool is quite large but over chlorinated. The rooms on the pool level had a strong chlorine smell. No heat in the basement except for a space heater. Kitchen is very small with only one refrigerator in the house. Bathrooms not in the best of shapes, rust on some faucets and bathtubs.

Plenty of space and great location
We stayed at the retreat house for a family vacation with 24 people including children, teens and adults. The rental is not fancy, but there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the week. This rental is HUGE! The pool/hot tub area was a big hit with everyone. The location in Dowagiac was also great. We were within a few minutes of restaurants, shops, golf courses and other activities. We did have a couple of maintenance needs during our stay, but Beth and Steve were accessible and sent help quickly. We have already booked again for next year.

Family vacation
We rented this house to have time with our kids and grandkids and my mother-in-law. When we were all there, we had 25 total and there was plenty of room for everyone! During our stay, we didn't have to make plans to go anywhere -- or have to worry about the weather -- because the pool was the entertainment! The hot tub had good jets, and it was actually hot. :) Yes, there were some odd parts to the house, but it made it interesting. The "guest house" is attached to the main house, but you have to walk outside or through the pool area to get to it. Our families with young children stayed in the main house, and we DID have enough people who could stay in the guest house. But that may be helpful for others to know. We loved the dining room on nights when there were only 13 of us. When we had more people, we put extra folding tables (that we brought) in the Florida room. There was plenty of room for us to all eat together. The owners were very easy to get ahold of, and they were very helpful. Thank you for helping us make memories!

Family Vacation
We had a couple of hiccups during our stay but the property manager was very responsive when contacted and remedied the problems very quickly. Overall we had a good stay. We had 18 people, 4 generations. The kids really enjoyed the pool and playing in the recreation room that overlooks the pool. The adults enjoyed evenings in the basement. There was plenty of room for all to spread out. We were able to all enjoy dinners together at the large dining room table. The property was close enough to enjoy a day at St. Joseph and another at Warren Dunes as well as a nice cookout on our first evening. Overall a good stay and great family time. I would recommend the property for any large gathering.
