Such a great experience! The property is beautiful, the house is well laid out & spacious (my kids especially loved the big yard & foosball table), and the owners are doing a great job making upgrades to make the house even better. The back deck/yard are a great entertaining area with a large grill, plenty of out-door seating, and a cozy fire pit. We were happy to find a couple ripe tomatoes in the garden that went great with our dinners (unfortunately the peaches weren't ready yet...maybe next time! ).I really Appreciate the fantastic communication, from answering my questions before booking, during our stay, and all the way through to our check-out day.We'll be adding this property to our list of places to stay in the future! Thank you again for a great weekend!

Thank you so much for your sweet, kind words! So happy to hear about the few tomatoes you found (I’m sure buried in between the weeds LOL) Would love to host you and your family again someday in the future! Cheers!
Location was perfect. Close to South Haven. So nice to have a house and yard instead of being in a hotel. The farmers market was close. The hosts were great and messaged back quickly. Would definitely recommend this property.
