Labor Day Weekend

I’ve been to the town of Pentwater before so I knew what to expect as far as the area. The house itself was beautiful, the host always responded to my nervous check ins in the months prior as well. Everything was spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Family Gathering

This location was wonderful and the house comfortably slept all 17 of us! There are many gathering spaces for smaller conversations, and the great room was wonderful at meal times. We spent time on the back patio and walked several times to the downtown area. If you are headed to Pentwater, this is a highly recommended listing. We were minutes from the beach (walking or driving), and the neighborhood was quiet and lovely.

Perfect Spot!

We had 2 families together for a cousin weekend. Unfortunately it rained all day Saturday, but the house was the perfect place for 10 kids ages 7-15 to play games, watch tv, and just enjoy each other's company. We loved the grill and fire pit too.

Amazing stay

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was. The house was set up perfectly for our family vacation with lots of space for everyone to gather together or to do their own thing inside or out. House is very clean, beds are comfortable, large dining table and kitchen has anything you could need. It’s location is great. We could walk to the beach or downtown to shops and restaurants. Thank you for sharing your house. We hope to return next year.

Friend's Weekend

This place met all of our needs. It was perfectly spacious for our group of 13 adults that came to the area to play as many disc golf courses and board games as possible. The outdoor picnic tables were great, the beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood was quiet - yet close to anything you need. Becki was extremely easy to coordinate with and super responsive. Remember to bring your own linens and towels!

Family Vacation

The property was very clean and located just a few blocks from main street Pentwater. We enjoyed being able to walk downtown to look at shops and grab some ice cream or coffee. The beach is walking distance and was very pretty! The kitchen within the home was well stocked. The home provided several rooms to gather and hang out in . We enjoyed the outside areas for gathering around the fire pit, games, and for eating. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home!

Neighborhood Life

We normally take our VRBO vacation at a waterfront setting, so we were a little unsure about an "in town" setting. But it was fun being able to walk to town, go through the interesting shops, and golf cart around the neighborhoods. The house we stayed in was perfect for our 16 member family, having multiple gathering and sleeping areas. The house was well equipped with kitchen wares, outdoor furnishings, and even bicycles! All in all, it was a good choice for a great vacation.

Older home - has space - not worth price

While the home does have space for the amount of people we had and a nice outdoor space - home was very outdated and unsafe in some areas. Kitchen was small and not a ton of space to prep or in fridge. House has washer and dryer but you are unable to use it. Laundromat is not always stocked with quarters or detergent and the washer/dryers do not work well. Ceiling fan broke in one room and almost hit a child sleeping on a bed. Have exposed wiring in upstairs rooms. Internet only worked here and there but very slow. Overall not worth the price they are charging.

Perfect week end

Becki is the nicest host. She was accommodating our early check in request and was very easy to communicate with. While our party included just 6 people, I was amazed to see how the house is perfectly organized to accommodate large families. Lots of communal spaces inside and well distributed relaxing/ eating areas outside. The kitchen is super equipped with plenty for large groups. Immaculately clean and conveniently located.

Girls trip

The house was absolutely beautiful. We had 20 girls stay at the house. Which there was plenty of room. The only thing that we had a problem with was the fireplace. It just kept turning off. But we figured it out The town was very quiet which was the off season. Nothing was really opened. The bear in was a great place to eat. The antler restaurant was not. They didn’t want to serve us which was very disappointing. But we made the best of it. Overall it was a great relaxing vacation. The house was great. Thank you

Great place to make memories with family.

Rutledge Retreat was well equipped with everything our family of 21 (10 adults, 11 kids) needed. The cottage was very clean. There was plenty of inside and outside sitting areas. Kitchen was great to cook and serve out of. Extra outside refrigerator was very nice for extra storage. Grandkids loved bunk beds so they could be with cousins. Location to town and beach is in walking distance which was a great way to use up kids extra energy. The owner Becki couldn't have been more accommodating. We really appreciate everything she did for us. This cottage has been well thought out and has many extras to make it a great place to bring your large family.

Beautiful home in Pentwater

We were a group of 21(12 adults and 9 kids) who rented this place out for a weekend of fun and comfort. And we were not disappointed! Clean and beautiful home very close to the beach. Had an awesome time creating great memories for all of us. Owner Becki was very helpful and quick to respond to all our queries. Will definitely plan for an extended stay here sometime next year.

It was very nice to have my entire family stay in one house. We have four small children and the large number of rooms was very nice. The beach was a short distance away and everyone had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this rental.

Best Vacation Ever!!!

Where to begin? I have a very large family. VERY large. We were so excited to find a place that everyone could gather together for a weeks vacation. We came from 3 states and couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay. I have stayed at many different vacation rentals in different parts of the country and this surpassed them all. Becki was great to work with and I was so impressed by all of the things that have been included. Bikes for the family to ride, even a scooter for my 9 year old son who doesn’t like bike riding! Kitchen appliances, games, books, everything has been carefully thought out and provided. The town of Pentwater is like something out of a Hallmark movie. We rode bikes or walked into town every day for amazing burgers, ice cream and candy! Thank you Becki for an amazing family vacation that my mom will never forget. She had all 6 of her kids from 3 states there to celebrate her birthday and spend family time together. Can’t wait until next year to come back!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Becki Ruh

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in Pentwater for over 30 years and ran across this house for sale with no plans on buying. When we walked in we knew this was supposed to be our home. Plenty of room for friends and family to come and enjoy our favorite vacation spot with us. We aren't able to be there full time and want to be able to share it with other families. Pentwater is a place to slow down, recharge and reconnect with family and friends. Beautiful beach, farmers markets, fishing, etc all a bike ride away. Park the car for the whole week.

What makes this property unique

We absolutely love that the house can be full of people and there is still room for everyone to have their own space. 8 teenage boys can be upstairs watching TV, while the little kids are playing catch in the yard, couples sitting in the sunroom or on the deck relaxing after a great day at the beach. Grandpa catching the news in the sitting room and mom and grandma reading in the living room while the girls are playing a board game on the dining room table. Where did dad go? He's taking a nap after getting up early to go fishing this morning. Perfect family get away home base.
