Anne and Bill were excellent hosts. Their home provided the perfect place for our family vacation. The home and grounds were immaculate with many extra touches to accommodate our littles; high chair, crib, baby gates, and pool safety fence. We loved caring for the hens and loved the bonus of farm fresh eggs for breakfast! We also enjoyed picking tomatoes and berries from their garden. Anne also provided us with many excellent ideas for restaurants, beaches and shopping!

It is a lovely property inside and out. Although we didn't have any kids on this trip, the house is very well-suited for a young family. We hope to bring grandkids with us on a future trip! The house has lots of living space to spread out, and comes well-equipped with almost anything a renter might need. The heated pool is a great touch, and perfect for a dip in the cooler months. And if you're lucky, the owner will have some freshly-picked veggies for you from her garden!The street where the house is located has many nice homes, but is still quiet and peaceful, with great views of Lake Michigan. The entire area is wonderful, and we hated to leave!

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time with family at Anne and Bill's beautiful home. The layout of the house was really nice and spacious. The pool was a total hit with the kids and the perfect size. The linens and towels were all so nice, and we appreciated the extra fleece blankets around! Our family made many new memories here that we will cherish, and It was so nice to have the backdrop of this home to make them in. Thank you Anne!

Great stay!

We had a great experience at this property for our Labor Day getaway! The owners were incredibly responsive and easy to chat with, especially with questions around COVID before we came. They were very flexible. Feeding and caring for the chickens was SO FUN for the kids, the s’mores kit they left was a nice touch, and they had many supplies needed for cooking, fire pit, etc. would absolutely rent with them again!

Perfect family home!

We loved our "home away from home"! A great location & plenty to do even on a rainy day. Our grandsons (2 & 5) loved the huge playroom/tv room and the pool. And the 5-year-old didn't want to leave the chickens. He rushed to help every time we needed to take care of them. Plenty to do in the area and many kid friendly places!

Another great stay!

This is the second time we have stayed here - we came back because it’s perfect for families! Wonderful location and incredibly well appointed. The hosts, Anne and Bill, are very helpful and have great communication. Our children wake up every morning wanting to help with the chickens, take a long walk/bike down the street (with great views) and then jump in the heated pool! Plenty of toys and kid safety items around the house, if needed. We will certainly be back!

Amazing trip!

My husband and our two young kids enjoyed our stay so much! Anne and Bill did a great job communicating prior to our arrival. Perfect spot for families with young children - plenty of toys, space, child proofed home. Very well appointed house with all the kitchen and home basics provided. The location is perfect - along a beautiful street that is a joy for long walks with views of the lake and very close to Saugatuck/Douglas. Heated pool was a huge hit with our kids! Already planning our next trip back.

Everything you need for the perfect stay

We had such a great experience. First of all, Anne, the property owner was great. She was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. She thought of everything you’d need for the perfect stay. You felt as if you were in your own home. The home was very clean, she had lots of towels, pool toys, nice soaps etc. We loved the pool, the gardens were magnificent and the chickens were fun to watch. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful week!

We are a family of six — ages ranging from 2 to 75. This home is totally gorgeous and has everything we needed to make our stay one of the best we’ve had. The little ones LOVED the pool and the play room — which was well stocked with toys for them. The beds and baths were luxurious, and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cookware making meal prep easy. The outdoors area is spectacular with lush landscaping and gardens, a fire-pit - and chickens! The location makes it easy to get to the beach and other fun things in the area. We totally enjoyed our stay.

This was the most amazing VRBO our family has been able to rent. Our children (ages 3,5,7) enjoyed the home as much as we did! The kids loved taking care of the chickens (honestly they didn't stop talking about it), the pool was the perfect size - equipped with a sturdy no-entry fence to ease any safety concerns, the house was equipped with plenty of toys for all ages, the vegetables gardens were fun to explore, and the outside was large to run, play, and observe nature. Us parents enjoyed the coffee nook, outside firepit, pool, and multiple tvs. The kitchen was more than well equipped and easy to pivot for cooking at home, take out, and feeding multiple ages. We will be coming back to this wonderful home!

Fantastic vacation home!

Our family really enjoyed staying here in June 2022. The house and property are outstanding! The most important aspects for me were how clean the property was and family friendly. I don’t always feel comfortable in rentals and I really felt like this was our second home during our stay. There were so many helpful additions for the kids—baby gates, high chair, crib, and even a play area filled with toys. Our boys had the best time with all the toys, and of course the pool! So nice to go exploring in the morning and relax at the pool in the afternoon. The hosts made the extra effort to make sure we had everything we needed before and during our stay. They left helpful suggestions of places to visit which came in handy since it was our first time in the area. We are definitely considering coming back because we’re not sure this place can be topped!

Where do we start??? We lucked out by finding this amazing property for our annual four generations of gals trip. The house is nestled in the woods, situated on a stunning 2 acres offering the perfect seclusion. The minute you walk in the front door, you are welcomed by an amazing interior offering plenty of space for quite a few guests. Our great grandma of the bunch felt like an absolute queen in the master bedroom, Yaya (grandma) was comfy in the guest room, and Mama and Sweet pea lived their room with a twin and double bed. The butterflies were swarming the butterfly bush by the pool enclosure and the hummingbirds (Henrietta and Henry) were great entertainment….however the best of all were….Red and her roost (the 8 adorable and talkative chickens)! The house was so well equipped with everything one could hope for in a rental, complete with the most awesome playhouse and stroller for any dolls that make the journey. We loved our stay and could not recommend this property more highly, an absolute gem!!!

Spectacular vacation home in perfect location!

Our family of 5 adults rented this amazing home July 18-24. We have been renting vacation homes for nearly 20 years. This was our best experience ever! The home is perfectly located with several beaches within a couple of miles. Douglas is a quaint little town. Holland and Saugatuck are just minutes away. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous! Gardens and trees everywhere you look. We've never seen so many butterflies, hummingbirds, entire families of deer. The patio and pool were so relaxing and refreshing. The interior of the home is beautifully decorated with top notch furnishings and appliances. The owners obviously spared no expense in making sure every room is comfortable and inviting. The most equipped kitchen in any rental we've stayed in.The master suite is absolutely gorgeous! We definitely recommend this property and plan on visiting again. Lots of communication and helpful info from the owners. They couldn't have been any nicer. We were treated like family.

Perfect Family Vacation

This was the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at, and the rare rental where it is even better in person than in the photos. The house was perfectly equipped for traveling with a small child - from toys and safety gates to thoughtful details like a kneepad for giving baths and children’s dinnerware. Our son absolutely loved it, he had plenty to play with and it gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the home! The grounds and gardens are more sprawling than you can see from the pictures, and we loved picking tomatoes, basil and blackberries. With the fresh produce and well stocked kitchen we were able to make many lovely meals at home. The home really stands out because of the thoughtfulness of the owners. Anne and Bill clearly spent a ton of time making this a beautiful and comfortable home for their renters, which is evident from the plush linens, detailed guidebook, essential supplies (cleaning supplies! Bug spray! Portable speaker! S’mores kit!!) and lovely decor. Can’t recommend it enough.

The house was beautiful and exceptionally clean. We also chose to take care of the chickens during our stay. At first, the instructions seemed a little overwhelming, but once we got started, it was much easier than expected. Collecting the eggs each day ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and we even gave all the chickens funny names.One thing we really appreciated was the thoughtful guide the hosts put together. It included recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and local activities, which saved us a lot of time researching and made it easy to enjoy the area. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we would happily come back.

Anne was a wonderful hostess. The notebook that she prepared for guests was quite informative. Places to go, places to eat and places just to see, are all explained in detail. Initially, we had decided not to care for the 9 chickens in the back yard. Anne came over and demonstrated how easy it was to feed and water the chickens. My grand kids enjoying feeding the treats to the birds. It became a family adventure every morning and at sunset.The house is well stocked with all top notch accessories. Our grand kids loved the pool and the outdoor shower. We plan on going back next year.
