Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The house was even better than the listing described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The owner was incredibly accommodating and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
This is a beautiful and tranquil property which I highly recommend. The property manger was always prompt to answer my questions. We are going back as my husband said he has never been so relaxed on vacation.
The lodge is so spacious! Along with the bedrooms with attached baths, and the large main room and kitchen there are additional rooms that allowed the 5 children to play separately from the adult conversations. Ludington State park is close enough for a day trip and often there are horse shows at the other end of the property. A wonderful place.

The location and setting is great. However, The photo of the home is at least 10 years old. Home is worn since then. All of the outdoor furniture is Inside the living room and kitchen are very nice. But not enough for even 6 adults. Kitchen table Hugh with lots of chairs. Down stairs bed frame and box spring was broken. Had to sleep with it on the floor.Up stairs twins are kids size not fit for adults. All windows were very dirtyWindows so dirty.The house is in a good location for bike riding. We did have to trailer to the trails each day. Which worked great.With 5000 this place would be amazing fine. No decor on walls very plan for what is called a Lodge. We are not picky people. We just want what is advertised on VRBO. Don't like finding out the home has issues on arrival.
Everything was perfect the house is spacious are suspicious and clean the property is beautiful overall overall an amazing experience for me for my sister's bachelorette party. Would highly recommend and hope to book again in the future.
My family loved this place. Home is beautiful and the property is so much fun for families! Highly recommend for all especially those who enjoy fishing, outdoor activities and great scenery!
Beautiful Vacation Home, Even Better Event Property
Joyce's vacation rental is a beauty. It is much larger than it looks from the photos. Joyce was super sweet, very responsive and reached right back out to us when we had questions or needs. The property itself is huge ... it is perfect for someone who is looking for a quiet, secluded spot to just relax or for someone with horses looking for a place to board and ride while on vacation. The home is an even better event location, as the barns are gorgeous and so clean. The home would nicely compliment the event as a place for people to get ready, food to be prepared, etc. I would highly recommend it for weddings and events. As for a vacation home, the location of the house is somewhat rural and most of the nearest attractions or day trips are an 1 hour+ away. For those looking for a place to get away and just sit and rest, this would be the perfect location for you. For those looking to go out and do something off property, there isn't much locally within a 15-30 minute drive other than for light groceries/needs. Being someone who rents vacation homes regularly, I did have some question about the overall cleanliness of the home, as there were a few issues that we brought to Joyce and she did her best to accommodate and make things better for us. The thermostat in the upper bedroom wasn't working and someone was supposedly coming to look at it but it didn't happen during the 2.5 days we were there. That made for some really warm nights in that upper bedroom and I wish that had been resolved while we were there so our guests could have had an easier time sleeping. My suggestions for other guests planning to visit - bring bag chairs to sit in while on the back patio. The view from the patio is beautiful but the furniture out there isn't in the best condition. Some of the pieces of furniture were damaged or being held together with zipties. Another guest had brought a pet (even though the home is not dog friendly) and left pet hair all over the cushions of the outside furniture. Having someone with an allergy to pets, this made the furniture undesirable to sit on. The grill is also unusable - it hasn't been taken care of over time from other guests and there were no tools to try to clean it. Overall, the home is gorgeous and the high end finishes (like the kitchen and bathrooms) makes this a beautiful place to host an event and if you are looking for somewhere to have an event, I would encourage you to check this place out.
Joyce was a very accommodating host, and made the check in process very simple and easy. Would highly recommend this place to others looking for a weekend getaway or place to host an event.
We stayed here with two other families and had a great time! The house is spacious and cozy and there is tons of space to play outside. We will definitely be coming back!
The home and property was a perfect location for our overnight group meeting and getaway. We had nine ladies from around the State of Michigan meet here as it was a good central location. The house was perfect for sleeping accommodations, group discussions, meals and social fun for our small group. We loved it so much that we hope to use for our group meeting again, or even some of the ladies would even like to reserve it for their own personal use. Highly recommend if you like a private setting with lots of space.
The property manager was super to work with throughout our stay. Plenty of room for our party of seven. Great location for our riding. We look forward to returning!
We have been renting a bunch of rental houses but never have had more pleasant stay and better time spent in a rental property. If you looking for a peaceful vacation/gataway this is the best choise. You won't regret... natural beauties, lovely cozy house (the house is quite big, btw), nice playground for the kids and huge back yard. Fa-ka-wee ladies came to the house with 5-6 sweet horses while we were enjoying the morning coffee at the porch and offerred horseback riding for the kids. Great experience! Huge appreciation to Joyce!
