We really enjoyed this property. The neighborhood is peaceful, yet it is within 15-20 minutes of cities like Holland and South Haven. The lake is gorgeous, and the house is lovely. We would be happy to stay here again.

Not great for families

While the owners were very nice and accessible, this place was not what we thought it was going to be. -The grill hardly worked (1 out of 3 burners worked) -We were told it was on a quiet road, extremely busy with cars going over the speed limit - The lake bottom, while really shallow, was muck and not sandy like we were told Great for an adult only trip but would not recommend for families with kids that like yo be active. We had to drive to other beaches or towns to get their energy out. Overall pretty disappointing.

Ladies Trip

This home is CLEAN, welcoming, and was perfect for our getaway. Our party of five women felt very comfortable. It was extremely hot while we were there, and didn’t get the chance to sit around the fire pit. Instead, we enjoyed morning coffee looking at the beautiful lake. Michelle, the host, is extremely kind and friendly. Perfect location to visit wineries and coastal towns.

Wonderful house on great inland lake near Saugatuck/Lake Michigan

My husband and I had a wonderful 5 night stay over Memorial Day weekend. The house was very nicely updated, clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were great - very communicative and friendly as well as all the neighbors on the lake. We especially enjoyed morning walks around the lake, sitting on the front patio and enjoying the beautiful lake view and kayaking around the lake. The Saugatuck / Fennville area has so much to offer - cute towns, great restaurants, breweries/wineries and beautiful Lake Michigan beaches within 15 mins. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Wow!

The fam had such a nice stay on Hutchins Lake! The house is so lovely, one of the best VRBOs we've tried. Great amount of space for our group, easy check in/out, kind owner, amazing sunrise views, house is well stocked. We made the trip to Timber Ridge (about 30 min) and did some skiing. Good kiddie ski school program and not a bad drive. Thank you for such wonderful memories!

We had a lovely stay on Fennville Lake. The home is lovely, clean, modern and well appointed, and worked well for our family of 6. The property owner was friendly and very quick to reply to any of my questions. The view of the lake was very pretty, and delightful to wake up to every morning.

Fabulous Stay!!!

We were a family of mom/dad, adult son/girlfriend, adult daughter, and adult daughter/boyfriend. This was our first family trip in a couple of years. The house was the perfect place for us to stay, as there was plenty of space for both togetherness as well as privacy. The bedroom situation worked well for us. Mom/Dad in master bedroom on first floor. Kids all upstairs amongst the various beds. We were all very comfortable! The first thing we noticed was how clean the home was, and how true to the photographs shown online. You always hope that "what you see is what you get" and this place is exactly as pictured. I would venture to say that it is even better!!! The home was renovated a few years ago and is both stylish and welcoming. We loved the fact that we could all fit around the dining room table for breakfast and for games at night. We also loved the fire pit table on the front porch, where we did some lunches and dinners overlooking the lake. Great place to catch some shade, as the trees out front are huge, lush and gorgeous. The lake. Oh where to start.... Clean. Warm. Peaceful. Active. We went into town a couple of times but couldn't wait to get back to the lake. We made GREAT use of the two kayaks that come with the house. They were rarely out of use. We had also brought along some floats/noodles from the dollar store, so everyone had something to float on. The dock is SO nice. Made of trex-like material, it did not get hot or have splinters. We spent a lot of time out on that dock. Half on chairs, half in the water, all having a blast. The owners of the rental were available to us all weekend, as they have a place on the lake too. Such nice people. We met a bunch of the neighbors as well. It's a very friendly community. Even got to see some of the resident eagles in flight! The sunsets on the lake are not to be missed. We walked down the lane to the public beach every evening to get the best views. Apparently the sunrises were incredible as well, but I was too busy enjoying the comfy bed to go take a look. To sum it all up-we are SO glad we rented this lovely home. We will absolutely return next summer. Our entire group of 7 agreed this was a trip to remember!

Loved our stay

They have done some great improvements to this property to make it a memorable stay. We had everything we needed for our two adult sons and us to have a relaxing time, especially enjoying the front patio and water. You can take great walks in the morning and evening plus nice small swimming area down the road (or go straight off the dock!). Sunrises were beautiful on the lake, and we looked forward to our morning kayak trips. We especially enjoyed the North Beach area in South Haven (25 minutes) plus the local wineries, restaurants and blueberries in and around Saugatuck (about 20 minutes but some just around the corner)...and most of all, the Tastee Treat for ice cream in Fennville! You can also rent waverunners and pontoon boats on Lake Michigan. All in all, a great stay, and we want to come back!
