The location is quiet and very clean. A lot of construction in the area, but the place was great. The rooms were clean and items were sticked. They even had some drinks there already.

A great family space

The property was VERY clean and it had everything we needed for ages 16 to 90! The view of the lake is amazing and the deck with heaters is so welcoming, even in very cold temperatures (January). We would definitely gather again as a family at this property and we appreciate the hosts sharing their lovely home with our family.

We had a great time at Jayda’s place! It was just as described. Plenty of sleeping space, lots to do for all ages. We were very impressed with the attention to details- from toiletries, to snacks and coffee, and the tech throughout with the lighting and decor. Very prompt responses to any questions too. Great stay!

My family and I stayed for a week's vacation. We had the most amazing stay!! Jeremy and Katie have thought of it all when it comes to this house. All of the thought they put in to this property really shows. Great days at the beach. Fun evenings at the house and room for EVERYONE!! We can't wait to stay with these hosts again!! Nothing but great things to say about the rental as well as the hosts. Thank you again!!

Recent Stay

This was one of the best rental properties we have utilized, and we have done many across the globe. Their attention to detail was top notch; they thought of so many details including beach towels, toys for the kids, step stools, kid dishes, etc. Furthermore, when we asked questions to the owner they responded quickly. The house was decorated so nicely it felt like our house and not a rental property - it was very welcoming! Our family very much enjoyed our stay and this owner/property raised the bar on our expectations. We look forward to coming back in the near future!

Loved it!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. House was perfect. Very clean and had everything you needed and more. The only thing I did not like was the road you crossed to get to the lake/beach. Was much busier than I expected and scared me with little kids. I putting up signs for drivers to see so they know children are crossing :) Other than that we would definitely come back!

Excellent House - Thank you!!!

Excellent accommodations and well stocked with towels and all the regular accommodations needed to make an extended stay pleasant and welcoming. Perfect sized house for 4 adults and 3 kids ages 14, 12 and 7. Plenty of space, super clean and very relaxing. We were here for 5 nights and enjoyed the comfort and location as it made our daily trips into Kalamazoo very easy. The kids enjoyed the video games, adults enjoyed the space and grilling out on the deck area. Even though it was April, it was nice to be able to walk over to the lake/beach area to sit and relax. Highly recommended if you’re staying in the area for any extended time. Thanks!!

This property is lovely. Extremely clean, well decorated, spacious, and right across from the water. There are water views from several rooms and the deck in the back of the home is expansive.I appreciated the first floor bedroom as I was traveling with a friend with limited mobility. Aside from that bedroom, the upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and the loft area is equipped for gaming and fun. The hosts have been very thoughtful about ensuring that this property has all the comforts of home. Plenty of toiletries, plates, pans, etc…and all of the conveniences like a coffeemaker with various creams and sugars. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. And if you are a frequent vacation rental guest, you will also appreciate their very basic and easy checkout list! No endless list of things to remember to do on your way out. Just the basics. This was really helpful. Our party of five enjoyed our stay and will definitely return if we are in the area again. Thank you Jeremy and Katie!

Overall the house was fine and what we were expecting. The disappointing part was having to deal with a leak every time we used the upstairs shower and then a faulty fire alarm that went off at 5am. The owner was kind, responsive, and even leant us his boat for a day for free for our trouble.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jun 2026
Thank you for staying with us. We always aim to go above and beyond for our guests, and during this stay that included complimentary breakfast, drinks, a free day on the pontoon, and taking the family tubing all at no charge. We also responded right away when a maintenance issue came up, stopping by the same day and scheduling a plumber for the next morning. We're proud of the home and the hospitality we provide, and we'd encourage future guests to read through our full review history to get the complete picture. We wish this group all the best in their future travels.
