Becky’s place is amazing. Everything was as described and the amenities were A.Beds were all comfortable with plenty bedding and lots of towels for all the swimming and showering that our group of 8 did all week!Awesome neighborhood and even better lake to do whatever your heart contents with everything and more provided by Becky and her daughter. Could not recommend a better place to stay if looking for a lake house vacation.

First impression when I walked into the house was VERY NICE. We enjoyed the hospitality of the host Becky as she was always in contact when we needed something or when she offered additional information. Access to the water and use of the paddle boards and kayaks were great. As well as the patio area was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this Vrbo.

We had the most wonderful week staying at this property. The home is beautiful and very clean. Beds are so comfy and the rooms are spacious. The area is so breathtaking and the patio is beautifully furnished. We had so much fun on the lake using the paddle boards and kayaks available. Becky was a great host and made us feel so welcome. We have stayed in 4 properties in the area this summer and this is by far our favorite!

Great House in Great Location

We stayed here to prepare for our son's wedding. We live out of town so we needed a place to work on final preparations. We also stayed a few days after the wedding to rest and relax. This was the perfect place for us! There was space to work and for everyone to be comfortable. Becky was a great host, very responsive and very nice!

Kid-friendly, all we could have hoped!

A marvelous venue for an extended family week with small children. This home was by far the best equipped one I have ever stayed in with a thoughtfully, generously and fully stocked kitchen and lots of toys, books and entertainment particularly for the elementary and under set. Lots of opportunity for water play, too, with several human powered watercraft and flotation toys. This home is an easy one to recommend.

Summer Highlight

This property was even better that the listing photos. A very clean, well stocked and comfortable lake “home”. The lake community was casual and welcoming. Becky made every effort to assure our four-generation vacation was a relaxing and enjoyable week. 5 Star+ experience!!!

Great stay at Eagle Lake!

We had a fantastic stay at the Eagle Lake house! Everything was just as described on the listing—comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated with a cozy feel. There were plenty of lake toys to keep everyone entertained, and waking up to the lake view every morning was a dream.Rebecca was incredibly responsive and flexible, which made everything easy and stress-free. Our family of seven had more than enough space, and the beds were very comfortable.If you're looking for a place to relax, play, and enjoy the lake, this is it. We’ll absolutely be back and will check availability at this house first!

This house has everything & more to have a nice relaxing vacation! Becky & Megan were great hosts and very easy to communicate with. The neighborhood was so friendly. The kitchen was clean and provided everything we could have ever wanted. Beds were comfy. The upstairs bathroom was my dream bathroom! Everything we needed to enjoy the lake & yard was right there.

Family Lake Week

Family vacations are important to us, a retired couple with adult children and a young grandchild. All 3 generations enjoyed this well-equipped house and the wide range of lake activities. Convenient for cooking, bringing in food from nearby restaurants, and enjoying visits to special places in the area. Easy communication with our host and prompt help whenever we needed it. A-plus!!

Lakeside Gem

We had a great stay at this lakeside property. The neighborhood was great, location is close to all things Kalamazoo. The house accommodations were great along with the lake amenities provided (Kayaks, Fishing gear, boat dock). The kids were able to use the bicycles provided along with a adult bike. Special thanks to Megan for providing the jungle gym and small trampoline. 5 Star Time Rick C

Beautiful Lakehouse!

My family had such a fabulous week here. The house is very clean and has everything you need and more! The kitchen is fully stocked and there are enough towels and linens for everyone. There are plenty of water toys and the kids loved fishing off the pier. The lake is nice to swim in and not busy when boating. It also has a great sandbar. It is in a great location with friendly neighbors and close to shops and restaurants. Becky was very great communicating and answered my questions quickly. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Great stay - recommend

Adorable well kept vacation home on the lake in a beautiful quiet neighborhood . All the amenities one could ask for and easy communication with the host when needed. We were not there for a week on the lake but wish we could have used all the fun amenities /toys that were made available . Bedding and towels were high end quality. And in comparison to other homes I’ve stayed in I would say this host does go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and they want you to be able to feel at home and use all the amenities . Great for families or couples

Retirement celebration

This property was perfect and far exceeded our expectations! The house is beautifully decorated and Becky has thought of everything you may need to feel at home and to make your stay enjoyable. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and it was so nice to be able to dock our boat right outside the door. Fishing off the dock was a plus for the kids! Becky is a great hostess and quickly answered any questions we had. The welcome basket was a pleasant surprise - we enjoyed the goodies and s’more fixings’. Thanks for a wonderful week!!

Darling lake house get away close to Kzoo

We gathered family (ages 16-82) for a multi-day college graduation celebration. Becky's home was so comfortable for all ages. The open downstairs was perfect for lounging, and the patio had great comfy seating for outside time. We fed a lot of people, and had everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. The bedrooms were great for the in-laws, and the teens loved paddle boarding in the lake. The location was perfect for us, in that it felt tucked away, and like a true vacation, but we weren't far from our events at K College, and groceries were 10-15 min away. Becky was such a thoughtful host, leaving many treats we enjoyed! She was so quick to respond to us, and her family in the area was very friendly and quick to let us know they would be there if we needed anything. We will definitely be back to this wonderful place! Thanks, Becky!

Fabulous

I rarely leave reviews these days but I just have to let the people know how fabulous this property is! Let me start by stating I’m quite of the Vrbo frequent flyer. This has been the best property I’ve stayed in. It is quite obvious a lot of thought has gone into making the guests feel comfortable and at home. The towels alone, were amazingly soft and beautiful. That doesn’t even include the shower, bed and kitchen. Everything you can possibly imagine is stocked for your use. The lake and property is gorgeous and easily accessible for your older guests. Book this place! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Becky!
