Stay at Bug Red

The house is amazing. The kitchen was very well equipped. We brought our own kitchen aid mixer and discovered they had one. Coffee maker and Keurig were there Two sizes of crock pots. Sharp knives. Great appliances. We used the washer and dryer we brought our own detergent but they some there. The screened in porch was great. Everyone loved the golf cart. The beds were nice lots of towels were there. We had 8 people 2 were small children. The deck on the second floor was beautiful but we did not utilize it. The host was on site and very kind and nice Thanks for a good reunion

We loved Big Red

This was a great family house. Huge open kitchen, dining and family room. We spent hours on the shady, screened in porch. Everything worked well and was very clean. The owners were super responsive. The area is perfect for multigenerational families. You never have to get in your car! We walked or took the golf cart everywhere. At night, the whole neighborhood is filled with families sitting around a campfire. It’s such a happy, peaceful place!

Great vacation

This home was more than we could ask for. Everything is right there within the resort. The house was clean and big enough for everyone to have their own space. We would love to come back and stay again.

Great house in a fun area

We enjoyed our stay at Big Red. The house has a great Kentucky Derby theme with cool art and mementos. The neighborhood is a golf cart vacation rental community with a pool, a lake with a small beach and easy access to Lake Michigan across the street from the community. The house has a nice layout with a big living room and nice sized kitchen and dining area and a screened porch that has tables for additional seating that we really enjoyed. The bathroom situation is a little odd -- 4 full baths total but one is in the basement and one on first floor. There are only 2 bathroom upstairs that all 5 bedrooms share. Lots of towels, including beach towels and a nice laundry room. We loved having the golf cart to zip around the neighborhood. JR is very responsive and quickly got back to us with what we needed. House was mostly well stocked. We needed to ask for a broom and the only vacuum was a roomba that no one could figure out -- a regular vacuum or a nice broom with dust pan would be nice. The area is neat -- we enjoyed Washington Park zoo, free Thursday evening concert in the park, the friendship Botanical garden and the Dunes state park.
