Clean and pet friendly. Could have used a keurig vs a full coffee maker. Closet space was scarce for the amount of bedrooms and people staying.

Our stay started with the ease of a keyless entry. It made it all so simple. The house was fabulous. We enjoyed the fire pit every night. As a bunch of ladies, we were thrilled with the bedrooms, upgraded baths and kitchen. Being within walking distance of town made our first day loads of fun. Day 2 we went to Holland, and enjoyed the farmers market. The house is nicely located to enjoy several small towns full of shops and restaurants within a short drive. Melissa was an excellent host and answered my questions and offered recommendations.We had a great time and would happily return when we all get together again.

Location was great- 3 min drive or 15 min walk to downtown area, where we spent a lot of time. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Fenced in yard was great for our dog. Communication was easy with Melissa. Would gladly stay again!

My six cousins and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here! We travel together each year and this property was a highlight - spacious, very clean, enough beds for everyone, close to entertainment, restaurants and shopping. We commented that it was the best stocked kitchen we had for our several meals in the dining room. Our host was easily reached and helpful with lots of ideas for places to go and to address questions we had. Final coments as we left - AWESOME HOUSE!We all hope to come back someday soon!

The house was very spacious and had so many cute areas that the extended family could do multiple activities (play games, read, watch TV) all in comfort. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes/pans that made our Easter brunch so easy. The location and grounds are wonderful. Highly recommended!
