Ned’s House

We came into town for a graduation party and were having challenging time finding a spot for our family close to Kellogg Manor and Richland. This place worked great for our needs. Stocked well, plenty of beds and spots for all to sit comfortably. It’s literally in the parking lot of Ned’s restaurant directly across from the boat launch. The caretakers were fast to respond and very helpful.

Jeff and Christine are great hosts

Jeff and Christine's place is amazing! They really made sure I had everything I could possibly need. When we had a power outage, Jeff was super quick to respond, which was so appreciated since I was juggling two little ones (the outage was due to a car hitting a utility pole nearby, not anything with their home!). I've known Jeff for years—he’s a great family friend who we've come to know over the years as my parents live down the street on the lake. It was wonderful to spend some quality time with my small family during our holiday visit to my parents. Having NEDs right next door was such a bonus when we needed a quick bite, and the staff there is always fantastic. Thanks a ton, Jeff & Christine!

Family Trip to Gull Lake

The location is right across from the public boat dock, very convenient. The house was bigger than expected and very clean. We had a great time. I LOVED the outdoor porch, getting to sit outside without all the bugs!

Beautiful and Convenient

The house and property was spotless and had all amenities you have in your own home. We felt comfortable using dishes, towels, sheets. The location is directly across from a lake/boat dock. Ned’s restaurant is in the same parking lot basically and has really good food and ice cream. It’s also just a short drive from gas stations, shopping, grocery stores. Lake Michigan was a little bit of a drive but worth the effort. The owners are always around if you need anything but they don’t hover. It really was a perfect stay for our family. All the bedrooms upstairs can control their own air conditioning which was nice. We had a wonderful time and are planning a return trip already! Thank you, Jeff and Christine, for letting us stay in you beautiful home.
