This rental was perfect for our girls trip! The house has a great layout with multiple areas that work well for hanging out, playing games, and catching up. Our only suggestion would be more hooks in the bathrooms to hang clothes etc. The location worked well - it was an easy drive to St Joseph and New Buffalo. Thank you for a pleasant experience!

The house and amenities are exactly as described. It is beautiful! Great place to relax with a large family or cohort of friends. Plenty of space to spread out and gather together. It was clean and comfortable. Lots of options for bedrooms and beds. Decks and Landscaping are beautiful. We did not have the opportunity to enjoy the pool (we were too busy), but it was clean and well kept. Communication with the hosts was easy and seamless. Super Nice Place! Next time we are in the area, we will stay here again!

The home was wonderful & the pool, kitchen, firepit and game room amenities was outstanding. The double deck really set if off. We checked out KJC Atv rental, renting quads which added more fun to our stay. The host even left a welcome card which I thought was so thoughtful & nice.

Light out in lower basement bathroom over sink, drawers in dresser not working well otherwise room was comfortable with ample storage. Need to update instruction book since trash was to be taken out on Wednesday not Thursday as listed. Steps to pool area are dangerous for elderly. Otherwise enjoyable 4 day stay. Thanks

Great property for our annual family reunion. Our grandkids really enjoyed the pool! I also was able to bring a pontoon boat and keep it at the dock. Lake Chapin was quiet , good for cruises and tubing. The large driveway was a plus as it could accommodate my boat trailer and vehicle without having to unhook. Having two dryers was also a plus as we had our own beach towels to manage on a daily basis. The location is somewhat distant from the local towns for quick runs to a store or restaurant but overall a really great place. The host Mike was very good with info and local guidance. Would stay here again!

Beautiful stay

Thank you for the wonderful stay! We loved the house. It was great having all the space we needed for our large family party. We loved all the fun games in the basement, and even had a great day in the pool when it was sunny! Fishing off the dock was a trip highlight. My only caveat is that the lake is more like a larger river. Some of my family members wanted to go swimming but it wasn’t really conducive to that. But it would be a great spot for a kayak or small fishing boat! Thank you again to our incredible hosts.

Weekend away

Had a wonderful time.the house is lovely and in a great location. We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking and socializing easy. We didn't have the best weather so the fact that we could enjoy each others company indoors, play games etc without feeling overly crowded was a plus. Neighbor was quiet.

Family getaway

Met my sibling and his family here for a little family getaway. The house was clean and spacious. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with anll the supplies we needed to cook for our families. Unfortunately, we were there on a very stormy week and only got to use the pool for a couple hours one morning. The kids did have a blast though! We squeezed in some berry picking between rains and explored the little local shops. It was a cute little area! Would love to come visit again when the weather is better so we can really take advantage of all the great things the home has to offer!
