This property was perfect for a 3 generational vacation. Plenty of space to gather together or have some quiet time. The house was clean, welcoming and very comfortable. The deck and pool area were the favorites of all! Looking forward to renting this property again in 2027!The Piper Family

Rachelle, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for being such wonderful guests! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your loved ones. There’s something special about bringing grandparents, parents, kids (and even the pups!) together under one roof, and we're honored that Private Escape could be the setting for those memories. We designed the home to make those kinds of gatherings easy—with three spacious levels so everyone has room to unwind, yet plenty of inviting spaces to reconnect throughout the day. One of the home's biggest highlights is the outdoor living space, and we're so happy your family enjoyed it. Whether it was grilling on the expansive two-level deck, sharing meals overlooking the yard, gathering around the fire pit, or unwinding in the heated saltwater pool and hot tub, it's exactly the kind of setting we hope brings families together while still giving everyone a chance to slow down and recharge, all surrounded by peaceful nature. Our entire team works hard behind the scenes to ensure every guest walks into a spotless, well-prepared home that truly feels like a home away from home, so your kind words mean more than you know. Thank you again for choosing Private Escape for your family getaway, and most of all, for already rebooking with us for Summer 2027! We look forward to welcoming the Piper Family back for another memorable stay.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Debbie! It was a pleasure hosting your family over the July 4th weekend. One of the things that makes Private Escape so special is its location at the very end of a quiet road, so it's wonderful to hear everyone was able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and all the privacy that comes with it. It sounds like the pool was a favorite, and we still remember your message about making dinner on the Blackstone—that sounded like the perfect way to spend a summer evening together! Our team works hard to have the home fully prepared and thoughtfully stocked so guests can simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy their time together. Hearing that you noticed those details means so much to us. We'll also be sure to pass your kind words along to Fawna—she truly enjoyed hosting your group and will be so happy to hear she helped make your stay a memorable one. Thank you again for choosing Private Escape, Debbie. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you and your family back whenever you're ready for another relaxing getaway!

Great Family Time

Had a great family vacation here - we mostly wanted a place to swim and hang out and this was perfect. Everything we wanted was provided and there was excellent communication with Fawna. We went golfing, checked out the nearby animal park and had a picnic at Cascade Park where there was lots to do. Also close to Grand Rapids for lots more things to do. But we mostly enjoyed the deck, pool and very private yard. So many games and baby things were provided. Would recommend this place!
