Family Reunion

We rented this house for our Family Reunion. We had a blast it is very clean. No shoes in house is hard to remember if you are not use to it but they do provide slippers and flip flops. The house was having air conditioner issues and they tried their best to keep it cool for us and was in communication with us about it. We loved all the antique/farm style house. Hot Tub and fire pit was a huge hit in the back yard. Large enough for all 13 of us. Would stay here again!

Great property

Stayed here for our annual family salmon fishing trip out of New Buffalo, MI. 15 miles away. It was an easy trip to fishing and the property allowed each family group a little privacy and great group areas. We fish twice a year, we will definitely try for this property again. Our hosts always responded quickly!
