Quiet getaway

Very quiet area off the beaten path. Our own area of beach. The kids had a blast playing in the water and on the beach. (Adults did too.) Spacious home with plenty of room for 10 people to spread out and enjoy the trip. Lots of fresh fruits to pick from. And we did!

Family trip

The house was great - spacious for all of us. The only surprise was that the lake was a steep stair climb down and up from the house. The beach was tiny. There was no shoreline for a long walk so we walked the road easily enjoying the homes. The sunsets were gorgeous. We sat around the firepit and enjoyed the view. overall we loved being there. Thanks

Fennville vacation

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay. The neighborhood and location were premium and felt safe.The home is older with limited updates. We attempted to open windows, due to an odor, but were unable. Laundry area was undesirable. Beds were very good, enjoyed the deer, taking walks on their he road and the close proximity to things to do.

Breathtaking spot for a family vacation!

The property is beautiful and extremely well appointed. We traveled with a group of 9 family members of various ages and everyone had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed playing in the spacious yard and close beach access. There were also a variety of games provided for them for rainy days! The adults loved the outdoor fireplaces and listening room after the kids went to bed. The house was spacious, with several common areas for groups to enjoy simultaneously. The property was at the end of the road with very little traffic and close proximity to Saugatuck. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we truly enjoyed it!

Chill

The home was what it says it is. There are a lot of outlets that need repaired. The ovens are very small. The grill is also small. The price paid for the week. We expected a little more. All in all it was a good stay. Just a couple of things to work on. Oh bugs. Thousands dead on all doors and windows. Piles of them. Nothing they can do about it. Just be prepared.
