We had a great stay with extended family. The kids of all ages enjoyed the sandy beach and spending time in the lake. The house was perfectly designed with plenty of seating and a well stocked kitchen.

It's so nice to hear that the kids enjoyed the beach during your stay with us! We hope to see you again in the future!
Wonderful property and just as advertised. We had a large group of 12 with several young kids and all enjoyed swimming, canoing, playing on the beach, firepit, etc. The house having 7 bedrooms made it easy for the entire group to sleep well. The kitchen was very well stocked for such a large group and made it easy to eat onsite. Finally, the proximity to South Haven made it easy to venture out for other activities. I would highly recommend the property!
We had a wonderful week staying in Pullman! We loved kayaking and canoeing out on the lake and watching the sunset every night. The house and property were perfect for what we needed.
This was an absolutely perfect getaway spot for a family weekend. Beautiful setting, plenty of space, great set up for hanging out together.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know that our home was the perfect place for your family weekend away, and we surely hope that you will book with us again very soon!
We had a wonderful time on our multi-generational family vacation! The house was as described and the hosts were easy to communicate with and very responsive. The lake view is amazing. Great sunsets, fun on the canoe, and firepit nights were lovely! The house is well equipped with everything you need. The only downside was not being able to check-in until 5 pm. That's a bit later than most and we really didn't want to pay extra to check in earlier. Other than that, our stay was very nice. We had 12 in total with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.

We appreciate you staying at our home at Swan Shores during your stay with us back in September. If we had known that you wanted an early check-in, we would've verified with our team first and it would be free of charge.
We hope that you'll consider staying with us again in the future!
Floor plan is conducive to large groups. We had 9 children and 8 adults. Easy check in, but not until 5pm. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes and cookware. Very warm in main living area due to large floor to ceiling windows, some type of window treatment would be very helpful with the sun and heat. Overall we all enjoyed our stay. Mini fridge was very helpful.

We hope to see you again in the future!
We had a wonderful time staying at your home for the weekend with our family! The bedroom situation and plentiful bathrooms worked perfectly!!!! We really appreciated the large farm table for meals and the game room!
The house was clean and has everything you need. The check in and check out process was easy. We loved waking up to the beautiful view.
The owner was very responsive to any questions and/or concerns. I would definitely come back and stay at this property again. We had such a great time.
Enjoyed your place with my brother’s and sisters and their spouse’s. The place worked perfect for us. Will be coming back again next year. Thanks, Esch Family

We are so pleased to know that your family enjoyed staying in our home, and we can't wait for you to stay with us again next year!
Our party of 7 stayed here and it was a perfect base for our trip. We loved the games room and it was well used. The property was very clean and well equipped. The location on the lake was
beautiful - we’d love to come back and fully utilize the outdoor space when the weather is warmer.
Perfect Spot for a weekend getaway. The house has more than enough space. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. The views of the Lake are breath-taking. Overall great weekend get away
This house was great for our large family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom and it was great for kids to run in and out to the lake. Quiet area but only 20 mins to South Haven. Kitchen was well stocked and AC was very efficient.

This is exactly how we want to be known: Great lake houses for families looking to get away and enjoy quiet time with their loved ones!
We had a great holiday stay with family! The floor plan of the home was perfect for our large group, the kids were able to play out back in the snow, and we had a wonderful fire! We were able to get in a few walks around the lake as well! It would be a great home for a summer stay too;)!!!
Great property! Loved the layout of the home, living room at each end of the home made for a great place for teens and adults to hang out close by but enjoy space. Pool table was a hit! Lots of seating and good lighting. Beautiful view of the lake!

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Kosten
I was raised in southwest Michigan, in the Grand Rapids area, and I have always reveled in the natural beauty to be found here in our Great Lakes State. I just love being near the water, so any chance I get to be near a lake is a perfect opportunity for me to relax and unwind. I hope you get to know our beautiful state when you stay with us, because to know it is to love it!
Why they chose this property
I was immediately drawn by the natural beauty of the lake and its environs — not to mention the extensive outdoor activities and peaceful surroundings. Since then, I have made it a priority to spend as many summer weekends in the area as I can.
What makes this property unique
This home was conceived and built specifically to cater to large groups and families who want to escape the mad rush of daily life and spend time growing closer to one another while experiencing all the tranquility and enjoyment that "life on the lake" has to offer. We have worked to provide a balance of comfort, functionality, charm, unity, and fun throughout our home and grounds. We even designed our outdoor spaces to provide maximum opportunities for gathering together to enjoy good meals and good conversation. We sincerely hope that the breathtaking lake views from the great room and lake-facing deck will inspire and astound you as much as they do us. We love creating welcoming spaces that draw you in with their charmingly-decorated rooms designed with great care, and our greatest desire is to see you return year after year so you can continually create memorable moments with those you love.
