We take pride in offering a space that blends comfort, convenience, and a few elevated touches—whether it’s unwinding in the hot tub, enjoying the sound system, or having the little extras that make traveling with a large group easy. We designed the home to be a comfortable, stress-free getaway for families and groups, and it means a lot to know it felt like a true home away from home for you.

Great Family Time

Had a great family vacation here - we mostly wanted a place to swim and hang out and this was perfect. Everything we wanted was provided and there was excellent communication with Fawna. We went golfing, checked out the nearby animal park and had a picnic at Cascade Park where there was lots to do. Also close to Grand Rapids for lots more things to do. But we mostly enjoyed the deck, pool and very private yard. So many games and baby things were provided. Would recommend this place!

Wonderful areas both inside and out to congregate with the group or to find a spot to just chill on your own. Property is lovely, nicely landscaped and surrounded by woods. Enjoyed seeing deer & hummingbirds! Bedrooms/bathrooms were super with plenty of room and choices to accommodate our group of nine people, ages 3 to 71. Plenty of games, videos & books to appeal to all as well. Pool & hot tub were amazing and a big hit for everyone! Hostess Fawna was wonderful, helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.
