This is just what I ordered. Such a cute and relaxing property. The home owner was an absolute delight and was so helpful in finding points of interest. The property was clean--outside and in. Walked down to public access every morning and evening for great views of the water. Close drive to shopping, wineries, and beach. Great retreat for a relaxing getaway--you will not be disappointed.
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage near the lake. Our host, El, greeted us upon arrival and answered questions we had of the area. Her home was so inviting and comfortable and had everything we needed. The lake community was very peaceful and quiet. Will book here again if ever in the area again. Thank you for a relaxing weekend.
For the most part it was very quiet, great scenery and Eleanor was very friendly and welcoming.
The owner El was so kind and welcoming! Shared good spots to visit. We had everything we needed for a great stay. Would stay again!
The rental was an older cottage, but well maintained. All the rooms were small but adequate for two people. Livingroom furniture was antique so not comfortable lounging type furniture. The setting was quiet and beautifully landscaped. Looked like cottage had central heat and air (thermostat on wall), but rental agreement said it was not available for use. Bedroom windows opened with screens which helped to make sleeping comfortable.
This is not my first stay in this beautiful cottage and it will not be my last. Just steps from Hutchins Lake this is a prefect spot for a quiet, relaxing getaway. A short drive from dining, wineries, shopping, antiques and Lake Michigan it is one of the best locations in the area. Eleanor, the owner, is a wonderful person as well as a great source of information about the area. I highly recommend this rental.
I was impressed with Farmhouse the minute I walked inside. Very spacious, attractive, and comfortable rooms, every imaginable amenity, and original art in many different media almost everywhere you look. For 1 or 2 guests, this is a lovely setup. The Fennville location, in viewing distance of Hutchins Lake, was different to me from my usual Saugatuck digs, but in a refreshing way. Nice to see people on waterskis and kids on inflatables pulled by motorboats, some folks taking it slower on pontoon boats, guys fishing, kids splashing in the fresh lake water. Oh, to be that young again.... The drive to Saugatuck was easy as can be, and just 15 minutes. El was a thoughtful and warm host, and we had a lovely chat about her work as an artist and history of the property. This place is definitely on my A list!
Pretty, unique, and refreshing.
Owner Eleanor was very gracious and welcoming. She also had good recommendations for dining out and local sights. Beautiful area and great place to relax!!
Beautiful, peaceful property. The owner, Eleanor, was a joy to meet and very helpful answering questions. This property is convenient to the swim access, with beautiful views of Hutchins Lake. Many wineries and cideries within a few minutes drive as well as antique shops. I highly recommend this property for singles or couples for a very relaxing getaway.
