Great place to stay! Plenty of space. Nice and relaxing fire pit, kids loved ping pong and darts in the garage, and the beach was close. Nice hiking trails close by. Loved our stay!

The property was clean and well maintained. Game room was really nice. Front screened-in porch was an excellent morning place. House could have used a couple of easy chairs for a group of 6 or more. Not enough towels and eating utensils for a group of 6 or more. I‘d say the place really only sleeps 7 because the couch is modular, not a sleeper.

I have noted your feedback. However your group left two of the outdoor chairs broken and didn’t even report it. Please respect the space when you are renting and remember to use amenities responsibly.

Great location between Pentwater and Silver Lake Sand Dunes

We had a great stay with 6 adults and one infant. The location is secluded and we appreciated the fire pit with firewood, ping pong and dart board! We will definitely stay here again in the future!

The home worked perfectly for our family and was very close to Mears State Park and Silver Lake but provided a very private setting. Offered many extras and was very cozy.The only complaint I would have was we were unable to dispose of our trash and had to take it with us when we left. The trash was overfilled at the road when we arrived on Friday and still had not been emptied when we left on Monday.

annual family trip

The house was very clean when we arrived and had all the things you would need. It was very organized and thoughtfully set up. We loved all the space we had and being in nature. It was nice to leave the busy beach at Mears State Park and come home to a quiet relaxing place. We stayed with a pet and it was a great house/location to do this. The only issue we had was the dishwasher did not work during our stay and we did not hear back from Linda when we reached out.

Comfortable and Clean!!

My husband and I have been vacationing in Pentwater, MI for almost 20 years. We normally stay in town, but had limited options this last time. So we decided to book this house a little outside of town. No regrets! It’s by far the best house we have rented in Pentwater. The master bed was like sleeping in our bed at home. Sheets were soft and the mattress was extremely comfortable. The air conditioner worked almost too good 😂 which was great because the week we were there was warmer then usual. Host supplies all the amenities you could ever need! Keurig and pods, towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, hair dryer, pots and pans, casserole dishes, cutting boards, games and cards. I would definitely stay here again.
