This property is just like the pictures— nicely furnished, beautiful views, and very clean. It’s located in a scenic farmland area and only 40 minutes to Grand Rapids, which we found handy. We spent a lot of time out on the back patio and by the lake, as well as cooking meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Jan 2024
I'm sorry your stay was only 4 stars. When you rented you reserved it for 2 people, but you must have had a larger group as all 7 beds were used. We were not expecting such a large group as that was told to us before your stay.
