Beautiful house! Great stay with the pup. It is adjacent to a hunting range. We had an issue with the gate code initially and the door can get a bit stuck but there was a quick response from host and we would highly recommend another stay here.
This is a beautiful, comfortable, well designed and maintained home and property which was perfect for a long weekend away from our city home. Its location strikes a great balance between being able to disconnect and also being a short and easy drive from great beaches, dining, shopping and all else you can explore in the area. Beautiful views from both inside and outside the property, great outdoor space to gather as well. Highly recommended!
Excellent site, spacious and all the necessary amenities to make a memorable stay. Close to excellent restaurants and wineries as well as lakeshore. Easy to unwind and perfect location to tour West Michigan

Michael and Joanna were awesome guests. They left the house immaculately clean and tidy. I’d welcome them back anytime.
This was a great house for our family! Nicely appointed and well stocked with all that we needed and more. Beautiful setting and very private and quiet location. The game room was great for our boys. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!
The property was so nice and very secluded. All the little details were so impressive and well thought out. Not to mention so close to Saugatuck. Awesome holiday weekend here!
The house was exactly as advertised. Great, quiet location a relatively short drive to beaches, great hikes, and Saugatuck. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well appointed.
The property was as advertised and was exactly what we expected. We typically vacation in Florida, but the beaches of Michigan were a good change of pace and this property was perfect for our family of 4. The bonus game room was a gamechanger that offered us family fun at night with ping pong, pool, darts, etc. We definitely enjoyed our vacation and stay!!
So much privacy! We loved everything about our short stay at this property. Loved the open concept, the decor, the patio was perfect for getting some sun, and the hot tub was a perfect way to end our nights! Our dog loved exploring the yard and woods in the back. Thanks for a much needed getaway!
My husband and I needed a quiet weekend getaway before the chaos of the holidays are upon us. We found this beautiful cabin to be the perfect choice. It is extremely well appointed with everything one could need for the perfect stay. The quality of the furnishings and fixtures was not lost on us. Our dogs enjoyed all the smells in the surrounding woods as we sat by the fire. Thank you for such a seamless, relaxing stay.
If you’re looking for a cozy place to get away, this place was perfect. Brian was an amazing host. We didn’t want to leave in the snow, so he allowed us to buy more wine from his cellar. He was very quick to respond if we had any questions and it was peaceful and quiet. I’m definitely looking forward to booking his modern cabin again.
We had a wonderful time playing games and relaxing in the hot tub and by the fire with friends on Friday. Saturday we had music, good food, quiet romantic atmosphere. It’s exactly what we were looking for. This was a beautiful, clean place with a touch of the comforts we have become accustomed to. WiFi, great sound bar for music, coffee grinder/pot, everything we needed for a good steak in the grill. We would definitely stay again 🥰
The cabin is settled on a nice property and the cabin is beautiful. The windows are huge and brighten up the space and allow you a view of the outside area. It's quiet and is a nice escape from the city. The back deck is huge and has a grill and hot tub. It's a great place to hang out and relax. The garage area is cool and has all kinds of games including darts, pool, and table tennis. Our dog had a great time walking around the property and laying out on the deck. The cabin is a short 15-20 minute drive to Holland, Michigan which is a really cool small town. This place is awesome! My wife and I highly recommend staying here. Brian is a great host. He answered questions quickly and gave great recommendations of places to check out. We would definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing stay here. The home is open, private, and has all the amenities you could ask for. It was just what the soul needed for a getaway with the dogs as well. The location is prime for many of the sites nearby. We hit Saugatuck Brewing, Guardian Brewing, and checked out the towns and local shops. The home was so inviting. Comfortable beds, great bluetooth speaker for music, hot tub, and game room. I have already shared this listing with friends and will be back in the future. Brian was very helpful and quick responding. Love this private, amazing home and it's design/comfort!

Thanks Jen, you folks were awesome guests. Stoked you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the woods. And thank you for being so neat and tidy, I wouldn’t have known anyone even stayed! You’re welcome back anytime. Cheers, Brian
This home had everything we needed and then some. Close drive to beaches, woods in the back yard to explore, so much wildlife, ping pong, pool table, dart board, and HOT TUB!! Not a bad seat in the house from any room or corner you are in. We can't say much else but BEAUTIFUL! and we wish we could go back ASAP! You need to stay in this home if you have a chance. So modern and efficient. Brian was extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HOME and letting us make lasting memories. We will be back again soon!

The property was lovely. My dog was enthralled with the view and waited in anticipation of seeing a squirrel. He was excited to see a deer munching on plants one evening (as were we).
Our last night we had difficulties with the air and were alarmed when the thermostat read high carbon dioxide warnings.
After several attempts to contact the host, we called for help. When the host finally called back , he was unsupportive. He raised his voice at me and was upset that we called for help. The help arrived so I had to end the call. The host never reached back out to see if we were ok or what we found out.
This was very disappointing. For the price we paid and other reviews, we were really disheartened and disappointed.
If you are looking for a secluded forest retreat, look no further. As soon as you turn onto the driveway you are in for a whimsical treat. This property has something for everyone. Do you like enjoying a hot tub soak in the middle of the forest? You should check out the 6 person hot tub. How about a bonfire with friends and family? Get on down to the fire pit that accommodates 10 all day and make those smores. What about ping pong, pool, and darts? Yeah, they got that to in your own pole barn so you can compete without bothering others. Do naps in nature interest you? Then you should use the hammock on the deck. Do you like to entertain loved ones and grill for them? Then the four burner grill with searing station will allow you to beat Bobby Flay. I know you like to kayak on the Kalamazoo River? Great, you will have your choice of launches within minutes of this gem.You probably enjoy access to multiple wineries and great food. Me too! You have an itch to go to the big lake? Sure you can do that too, don’t stop there check out Saugatuck, South Haven, Holland and more. From Nature trails to hiking, and biking, there is so much to do. If the weather doesn’t cooperate then you got comfortable furniture to watch your favorite show or movie on a new flat screen T.V. With amazing sonos sound bar. The interior of this home is just as beautiful as the nature it is in. The hosts were accommodating and respectful, this trip wasn’t long enough and the next one can’t come sooner.
