Wonderful Weekend

Loved the place! It was a super spacious area to rent for the weekend, and the host was very accommodating. I love the quick responses when I would communicate with her and how helpful she was. All the decor in the house was really beautiful to look at too. Overall the house and host was unlike any other place I've stayed!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We are so lucky to have stumbled upon Bek's beautiful barn and studio-- what a beautiful property and sanctuary for a large group! So many little details and personal touches, alongside kind and proactive communication to make sure everyone in our group was loved! Thank you for making this such a beautiful weekend for our family and community. We are forever grateful for the experience and look forward to visiting again.

A Yoga Retreat to Remember

Bek was an incredibly efficient communicator and helped put me at ease in answering my many questions :) The property was perfect for our yoga retreat with 18 of us. The yoga studio space was perfect for our classes and the sleeping areas worked wonderfully for our needs. Plus Bek provided some delicious food that was the star of the retreat. We will definitely return!!

1880s Beauty

It was tremendous for all 20 of us, in all our age ranges, to be "together" with the variety of sleeping areas throughout both the Barn and River Rock Studio. The outdoor areas were expansive and beautiful. Coordination with our host and hostess was easily and readily accomplished. I cannot give it a high enough rating!!

Bachelorette party

This property is GORGEOUS! The house is uniquely decorated which creates its charm! I hosted a bachelorette party and the house accommodated for 16 people easily! The host, Bek, was very easily available if needed but gave us our privacy as well. I’d like to note that the time changes on the property so that made it difficult to determine what time it actually was! Otherwise this is a GREAT house to rent and I highly recommend!!

Great for groups - everyone gets a bed!!

This property is incredible beautiful and has eclectic decor that make for great conversation starters for any group. The host is fantastic and provided everything we needed to do the fire pit on the back porch with the group. We had a group of 15 for a girls weekend and it was perfect because we’re way beyond the age where people want to sleep on the couch! There were plenty of beds, everything was accessible and New Buffalo beach was only 20min away. If we forgot anything there was a Walmart 5min down the road which was very convenient. Everything was clean and comfortable and the host was a great at planning communication for a large group! Would highly recommend for a girls weekend, large families, and reunions.

Dad’s 90th Birthday

The house was beautiful ! The grounds were very pretty and peaceful. The large family areas were perfect for our family. We all congregated around the pool table & played pool every evening which was great fun ! We had plenty of room utilizing both houses. Almost all of the bedrooms in the Barn had twin beds. The description on VRBO said that one of the downstairs bedrooms would have a D/Q bed which we planned for our elderly parents, however there were 2 twins instead, which was a bit disappointing, but we worked it out. We were within an easy drive to the beach, casinos & wineries. Bek was great to work with, very pleasant and patient answering all of my questions. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms (however we assumed that hand towels and washcloths would be included with the towels, otherwise we would have brought our own). We had a lot of fun and my Dad enjoyed a wonderful 90th birthday weekend with all of our family. Thank you for everything !

Wedding was amazing!

Bek and her husband were amazing hosts for us during our wedding! The barn house was absolutely amazing and the studio was gorgeous! We got so many compliments. The T.P/Yurt was a huge hit as well. The Yurt can sleep well over 5 people! The place was very clean. We had approximately 60 people there for the wedding which was the perfect amount for the size of the location. I would recommend this to anyone for a wedding or family reunion or big party! Or just for a great get away for a couple! The decor was amazing and all the intricate details made the place such a unique place to stay! God bless you guys and hopefully we’ll see you again soon!

Fabulous Bachelorette Getaway Near Michigan Wineries

We loved our time staying at Bek's property! I hosted a bachelorette for 14 and it was the perfect space for our party. The property itself is very unique and we loved having the barn and guest house spaces. Communication with Bek and her property manager, Jose, was very easy and they responded quickly and kindly to all of my questions. We are so happy to have spent a good amount of time during our weekend stay at the house itself. We thought the location was great to go to the myriad of Michigan wineries just over the border and make the drive back to Chicago in just over an hour. Overall, would highly recommend this space! Thank you!

Great for a family get together

The house is beautiful and unique. We appreciated the special touches of hospitality (wine and s’mores!) the owner provided. It was helpful to have wood provided for a campfire. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the loft. They thought it was like a clubhouse.
