HUGE house

The listing does not show how huge and open this house is. Perfect for big groups. And more updated than it appears in photos

Clean and spacious. It’s nice to have a bed for everyone without bunks! One of the stoves, the mini beverage fridge and the island outlets were not working. That made food prep for such a large group a challenge. The fire pit also didn’t work. But we really enjoyed the setting!

Wedding weekend

We stayed here for our wedding weekend. It was the prefect place to get ready so much space. I was able to get ready downstairs with the girls and the guys stayed upstairs. Everyone loved it.

Outstanding property

This property is everything they say it is. We were a golf group of 12. This is a great place to stay if your are playing America Dunes, close and very convenient.

A great weekend with extended family!

This was the perfect place for our extended family to stay together during the weekend of our cousin's wedding (which was in Holland). There was plenty of space for everyone, and the house was well stocked with all of the materials we needed for a comfortable stay. We'd love to come back for a family reunion sometime!
