Great House!
This house was such a great house! We comfortably slept a group of 16. The kitchen was amazing equipped with 2 dishwashers which was key with the amount of dishes we used in a daily basis. I would highly recommend with large groups. Elaine was extremely easy to work with and very responsive to questions. She has truly thought of everything! We hope to be back in the future!

Best equipped & organized lake house/beach house ever!
This was the 6th or 7th time we have rented a beach or lake house for time with our extended family (13-16 people). This was by far the best equipped, most organized house ever. Everything was perfectly clean and well labeled. Instructions were crystal clear. And I can't think of anything we might have wanted that they didn't have! None of us had ever played pickleball before -- what an amazing court! So much indoor and outdoor space -- everyone could find a quiet place to read or work if they wanted to. We never came close to running out of bowls, mugs or silverware. And to have two dishwashers for a large group like that is a stroke of genius! We never had dishes piling up because we never had to wait for a dishwasher to finish running to load up. We could connect to the outdoor speaker instantly. The young adults in the group loved the hot tub. Having the grill directly connected to the gas line is also awesome. My nephew loved the espresso maker and I loved having an electric vehicle charger. We brought our own inner tubes to float in the lake, but we liked having the canoe & kayaks to paddle around. Communication with the owner was outstanding. Overall really 5 stars. Every VRBO owner could take lessons from them.

Awesome
This place is great. Perfectly setup for a large group. We stayed here with my extended family and everyone had plenty of room. The house is very thoughtfully equipped. A fully equipped kitchen, yard games, boats, books, it’s all here. Lots to do in the house and yard and lake, but only 15 min drive (or hour bike ride on the nearby kal haven trail :) ) into south haven for more.

Amazing Stay!
I was looking for a larger home to celebrate my dad turning 60. The listing doesn’t do the home justice. It was absolutely beautiful. The host, Elaine, is amazing and graciously answered all of my never ending questions. The home is so fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and is so helpfully labeled as well. Everyone mentioned how extremely comfortable the beds are and how clean the home is. My family has even mentioned wanting to book the home for a summer getaway! I will absolutely be back to stay again! Thank you, Elaine, for such a wonderful experience!

Beautiful home perfect for our large family
We really loved our stay at Elaine's home. She was a gracious and generous host. She was quick to respond whenever I had a question or request. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and had our entire family there. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The bathrooms had the amenities you would need, plenty of towels, and great closet space as well as hooks to put all your things! The property is large and the pickleball court was a HUGE hit for our entire family. When we weren't outside, we were in the kitchen which has a large table that accommodated all of us and plenty of seating throughout. We had a wonderful time. Thank you, Elaine!

About the host

Hosted by Elaine Soble

Host profile image
We started going to South Haven about ten years ago. Then we found Saddle Lake and fell in love. Grand Junction is not crowded at all, and we are surrounded by beautiful countryside. When this property came up for sale, we grabbed it and built our dream house, which we are happy to share.

Why they chose this property

Three acres, on the sandy side of the lake, just off Phoenix Road -- we couldn't ask for anything more.
