Nice location with beautiful views. We didn’t get to experience the water, being late autumn with plenty of snow, but must be nice in summer too. The hot tub worked well. Host was helpful and communicative. Kitchen was very functional and everything comfortable with the exception of one of the beds. I do hope they change that, but it didn’t impinge on enjoying our stay.

We had a wonderful, relaxing long weekend. Clean property, excellent communication and everything we needed. Loved seeing the fall colors and stargazing from the hot tub at night. Our pup loved it too!

This is a beautiful home on the water. Kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfy. Owner was friendly and always reachable. We had a wonderful time in Newaygo!
This was a beautiful house in a beautiful location. We spent hours on the deck drinking coffee and watching the water. We kayaked from the dock and caught several beautiful small mouth bass. At night the loons were signing and we saw many species of birds. The owner was super helpful with directions and very kind.
