Sibling reunion

This was a senior sibling get together from 4 different states! We were all born in either ludington or Muskegon MI. We came here from Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin! This house was so perfect for us. The kitchen was extremely well furnished. There was plenty of room to relax and a very large table for our game nights! All in all we agreed it was the BEST VRBO any of us had ever stayed in. The host couple was great at responding to any questions we had!

A great place to invite family

We used all the bedrooms at one time or another and had various groups of family staying anywhere from all 4 nights to 2. The three levels with some privacy on each were fantastic.

Wonderful property!

This was a great place for our family. We liked being together, but still had separate space for each family with our own bathrooms! It’s close enough to town to enjoy all the activities, but provides a private space to relax. We will definitely be going back!
