I most say this was one on my top 10 Vrbos that i have stayed at for the weekend. This was a very warm and comfortable welcoming . Rich Was very tentative and respectful ,not to mention genuinely Kind and informative on some nice diners . Lol Lastly the Vrbo is exactly what you see on the app So if you like what you see ,you will be amazed once you reach the cozy place and see all the views the views around. Thanks again, Rich .

The apartment was just as pictured, very clean and comfortable. The area is secluded and quiet, with beautiful landscaping and lake across the street. Owner was very helpful and accommodating. I enjoyed my stay and would return in the future.

Out in the country yet close to everything
Great property for a short or long stay. The apartment is roomy and confortable. The grounds are gorgeous and you can walk to the very beautiful lake. Nice area, in Michigan, but very close to Elkhart, Indiana. We stayed here while our RV was in the shop.
The hosts are wonderful people and they are what made our stay extra special. We would not hestitate to stay here again.
