The house was absolutely great for our guys golf trip weekend. Close to all the courses and had plenty of room for everyone. Sent pic home to my wife about the scrapbook room in the basement and she thought that was awesome and marked it as a potential spot for a weekend with her girlfriends as well.

Nice stay

Nice house, plenty of sleeping options, nice setting on the river, good location close to golf courses. House was nice and clean however the back porch and deck had not been cleaned of leaves/sticks etc. Also, the cover to the hot tub is heavy and difficult to move unless we had a couple strong guys to open and close so we didn't use it. I believe the assist springs for the cover are broken/missing.

Great VRBO

This VRBO is fantastic. Easy check-in/check-out process, extremely clean, had everything we needed. It was big enough to have 8 of us stay comfortably and never felt cramped at all. The hot tub was a great addition after a few rounds of golf. I'm afraid that everyone will expect it now because it helped with the aches. Overall great place to stay. Close to golf courses and would highly recommend staying here. Will be booking this again if we ever come back to the area.

Gull Lake Golf Outing

This home was a great fit for our group of 10. There was plenty of room for everyone and it was only minutes to all the Gull Lake golf courses we played. Very clean and the hot tub was great after a round of golf. The large backyard was perfect for gathering around a fire, and the stream provided plenty of entertainment due to the family of ducks that would waddle through several times a day. Will definitely consider this property for our trip next year.

Best stocked rental EVER!

A weekend getaway with friends! We both have rented lots of places before, but we all agreed this was the absolutely best stocked place we have all rented! The kitchen had plenty of dishes, cups, and cookwear, both kinds of coffee pots, and more. Barhrooms were stocked with plenty of towels for bathing AND the hot tub! Plenty of beds, bedrooms and bathrooms. The bathrooms had everything you need to wash up with. There was wood for the firepit, plus more outdoor chairs than we needed. The hot tub was a great way to relax at night and first thing every morning. The neighborhood was quiet, and we felt secluded away. Yet we were just several miles away from some brew pubs and town. We had a wonderful relaxing stay!

4th of July

The house was beautiful. Everything was fully stocked. The only problem that we had was the cable didn't work. There's no cable, it's spotty out there which it's understandable. But the patio was terribly dirty, not dirty. Dusty spider webs, cobwebs, the grill wasn't prepared fourth 4th of July weekend visit As much as we paid, I feel like it should have been dusted all swept off. It says you have access to the hot tub, but the hot tub is not prepared or ready. Uh, to just turn on and get in lol. It's beautiful But the spiders inside the house, the house hadn't been sprayed or prepared or ready for visitors to me because of the spiders and the cobbles that were in the front bedroom window, that was crazy. There were little spiders on the bed in the front window to the right. The front bedroom. That's to the right. So that was scary for my kids that are terrified of spiders. But, oh, well, it was a cabin like effect. So we got past it. I joked it off and laughed it off, but I really feel like this house should have been sprayed. Some of those spiders were gigantic, which is again understandable where it's at but I feel like if it had been prepared. Properly. You know, sprayed, and ready for visitors that would have helped a lot big hole in the bedroom that I was in with my 2 grandkids. I put that baby uh, box in front of that, where the vent was. I guess I don't know what the that was, but we were scared. Something was gonna crawl out of it that was strange, other than that, i

Ladies Golf Trip

We are a group of 9 Ladies who have been going on a golf trip together, somewhere in Michigan, for the past 34 years. This house met all our needs for our golf trip. The home was spacious and located in a perfect spot to get to the golf courses near Gull Lake, in a short drive time. We would stay at this home again.

The house was amazing. 12 guys together for a golf weekend and fantasy football draft and it was perfect. The basement allowed for 1 of our top 5 draft experiences in 22 years. The 6t tables, power strips and lighting were amazing. Thank you! Will likely book again in the future.

Golf Trip

Great place for a group to stay and hit the Gull Lake golf courses. Centrally located. About 15 minutes from a Meijer. No complaints. House was clean upon arrival, was as advertised. Plenty of space, plenty of parking, A/C works great, no issues. Only suggestion I have is that the owner provide a bigger BBQ grill. The one on site is good, but small when trying to cook for 8 guys. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent house for our golf group of 12!

This house was perfect and well set up for our group of 12 adults. There are 11 beds total in the 5 bedrooms and the 4 full bathrooms really came in handy as we got up and ready each morning to play golf at nearby Gull Lake View. On Saturday we tee'd off early so that we could enjoy the afternoon on Gull Lake with a pontoon rental from the marina which I highly recommend. Each night we were able to relax outside around the campfire next to the creek, cook meals on the grill and in the kitchen that is fully stocked with all the dishes, pots, pans, crock pots, etc. needed to feed 12 people. We saw deer in the creek two mornings, ducks once, and the birds were nonstop all day long. This is a great set up for a group in a quiet area near Gull Lake and I would book this house again if we come back to this area.
