Michigan Vacation
This property suited our needs well. We had a senior occupant who was able to shower easily with the step through tub. She could enjoy the top level easily. My husband and I enjoyed the basement and the amenities it had to offer. We also really enjoyed the kayaks. This lake was very quiet the whole week. We were able to kayak at our leisure. It is a rural area which is what we were looking for. The only knock on the area is the local grocery store has been purchased by people who price gouge. There is a dollar general in the town and a grocery store in Colon, which is nearby. The host was very accommodating. We enjoyed the ease of our stay. We would recommend this place of you are looking for a quiet visit.

Lake House View
We had a great stay at this Rustic Hills Retreat lakehouse. The views are absolutely stunning to see from sunrise to sunset and outdoor space is amazing and puts you at peace! My brother enjoyed fishing off the dock. We both enjoyed the pool table inside as well. Overall, we both enjoyed our time here between inside and outdoor space. It was even a perfect spot to travel to Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Coldwater all within about 25 to 40 minutes. We even had a slight issue getting in to the lakegouse and within 3 minutes Ron(one of the owners) had us inside to enjoy. They even had a nice welcome basket with cookies and some insight to the area. We will definitely stay here again when we are back this way. Thank you, Rustic Hills Retreat!

Thank you for this wonderful home!
Returning to our hometown for my Mothers memorial service was emotional... but this awesome place to stay helped make things better! My husband and I, two sons, their wives, and 2 grandchildren stayed and there was plenty of room for everyone! SO clean and cozy, Welcome Basket was on point, very clear communication with host, and lots of fun things to keep everyone occupied were just SOME of the highlights. Then there was the gorgeous lake-view, and the firepits... 2 of the best amenities! Thank you so much for allowing our family to come together for a cookout after the service, as well. We will be back!!

Amazing place
This place had everything you can possibly need and more. We had a great time and even though it was raining one evening we play pool, board games… My kids enjoyed basketball hoop and other games.
We sat by the fire and really enjoyed this time we spent there. Wonderful experience .
