Great place, would stay again

Pros: My family really loved this place. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. It was perfect for all of us, and we especially enjoyed walking to the beach or driving to St. Joseph if we wanted to. Cons: The place could use a deep cleaning but was NOT dirty by any stretch. The bed in the master bedroom was not the most comfortable, and the sheets in the master bedroom were worn out and felt like sleeping on sandpaper.

Great spot for families!

Communication with the host was prompt, thorough, and above all, friendly. The home had several board games for the kids and several areas to gather. It was in close proximity to several beaches and was easy to find. If I were to offer any area of improvement, I would share that the house could have really used new bedding on most of the beds. The fitted sheets were very lose/worn, the comforters needed to be laundered, and the few pillows were very flat/old.

Amazing Home for Family Vacation

Our family of 13 booked this home for our family vacation and we had an AMAZING time! The house had a peaceful, treehouse feel to it. It had ample space to sleep all of us and the grill, firepit, and hot tub were awesome amenities! We also loved the private pathway that led to the street near the beach. The stocked kitchen was also sufficient, especially considering that we cooked all of our meals during our stay. Valerie was a great host. She always responded promptly and professionally and gave us all the information we needed from check in to check out. My family and I would definitely book this house again!

Best stay ever!

I cannot say enough good things about this property! The house was beautiful and spacious. Valerie was extremely helpful and accommodating. We asked to have our wedding rehearsal dinner at the house and she had no hesistation what so ever! Our bridal party stayed the entire weekend and had plenty of space. My makeup and hair artists had plenty of space to work and amazing natural lighting. Everyone that came to the house complimented how gorgeous it was. Everything was clean and we had everything we could possibly need. The location was only 13 minutes from our venue so was perfect. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to host a large group of people!

Great getaway but plan to wash your bed before you sleep in it.

This is a nice property with everything you need to relax. The hot tub was nice but it created a ton of foam which was weird for a hot tub. The beach was accessible by crossing a busy road but we didn’t mind that. The wood fireplaces were a great touch and there were plenty of places to lounge. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. The cleaning though— left a lot to be desired. We found candy wrappers in our bedroom, indicating it had not been vacuumed at all and it was clear they only washed the bed sheets as the duvets were dirty and stained.

Lovely getaway in the woods

This is our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for two families (4 adults and 5 kids total), able to spread out and relax. Easy walk through the woods to the public beach (as noted you have to cross what is essentially a freeway to get to the site so while it is a short walk I wouldn't recommend with small kids), the woods are lovely, good amenities and nice cozy ambience in the home. The beds and bedding are not the most comfortable or updated and there are signs of wear/etc. in the bathrooms but the value for a home so close to the beach and absolutely great communication and ease of checkin balance that out. Also so grateful to get to bring our dogs. Highly recommend nearby Jollay Orchards for a fall visit too. There is not much that is super close to the home (not much of a town to speak of and limited dining options in Coloma) but an easy drive to St. Joseph for more restaurants and stores (and we did find local pizza delivery).

Nice setting, roomy home

Liked: ample seating for all in an open concept home. It was spacious but still felt cozy. Hot tub was great and property is secluded. Weather was uncooperative for us, unfortunately we couldn’t explore but did walk to the beach which was empty (late November). A few odd/not great things. Our kids wanted to watch a movie downstairs while the adults were upstairs. The Roku remote is a rechargeable remote, it was dead so I reached out to ask about the charging cable.Response was “don’t know, guests lose them all the time”. My husband had to go to the store anyway so he bought one. Shortly after we arrived a repair man came to look at the washer/dryer. There was no previous communication about this. Apparently he was meant to have come earlier, but there was a mix up. Luckily he didn’t stay long. Last, the checkout time of 10 am is too early. The home accommodates like 15 people - there was zero time for relaxation in the morning and enjoying the house with trying to get the kids fed and still clean up the house according to the required checklist (strip the beds, start laundry, do dishes, take out trash). It’s a great house, but maybe consider the early checkout time if you’re booking.

We enjoyed our stay! The house was spacious and a great place to gather with family. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and communication from the host was clear and timely. There are a few minor updates that would make the house even better (some loose tiles, a broken toilet handle, etc.), but nothing that impacted our overall experience.

Great house to celebrate my daughter’s 17th birthday. The walk-out lower level, with screened in hot tub, living room, bathroom and bedrooms, was a perfect space for 6 teenage girls. The large upper living space was perfect for the adults and for all of us to gather and eat and hangout. Twelve total in our group and plenty of room for all of us. The walk through the woods to the beach was a fun adventure. Would stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great Trip

Great house for a large family. The host was very helpful and responsive. Nice proximity to the beach. I recommend Silver Beach about 15 minutes away, but our dogs loved the closer beach, Hagar. That beach was so nice and close , but my parents could not handle the almost 100 steps to get down. It was our first time to Lake Michigan and I would recommend this house! Just don’t go the Waterfront Restaurant unless there is a big sign reading under new management.

Beautiful property in the woods with a quick walk to Hagar Beach. Our family and dog had an amazing stay. Very clean and spacious. We had more than enough space to spread out. The kitchen was nothing short of amazing. Cooked most of our meals in. A quiet relaxing vacation with family. We loved how close south haven and St Joe were. 15 minute drive north or south. Thanks so much for sharing your house with us.
