Spacious Whitehall Home w/ Hot Tub + Game Room

The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 6 children. It was close to the beach and Michigan's Adventure. The house was well-stocked. The gameroom was great for the children as was the large back yard. We had a blast!

Great location and very spacious house. Only concern was the air conditioning could not keep up which made the upstairs bedrooms nearly 80 degrees. It is not an issue if it cools down at night but when we stayed, the temps did not fall at night so opening windows was not an option. Also not a lot of cookware so plan on bringing some pans.

The house and yard were big and the kitchen was good. The house was clean and the hot tub was clean. The major problem we had was a lack of hot water for showers. We had 22 there and had to take some cold showers or wait for a long time for water to heat up. Very hard to get young children to take a cold bath or shower. Called our contact person who said someone would be out to fix it. We were there 6 days and no one came. Some small details that could be better is not enough toilet paper, had to bring our own. We brought several tables with, so that our group could eat together and had tables to serve off of. Could use more bath towels also. Lots of fun things to do nearby. Went to Duck Lake State Park and Michigan Adventure and nearby public golf course.

We were very hopeful for this trip. Photos showed a very spacious house, even for our bigger group. Great location, quick drive to the beach. That all was proven true. However, a few things that bothered the group: I reached out prior to check in to make sure there were enough towels and toilet paper given the size of our group and was told to bring extra of both just incase. Then I asked about propane for the grill and was told it “might be full” and if not we were directed to go get a refill ourselves at the local market. Maybe I’m wrong, but my understanding of being a host is to make things as easy as possible for the guests, not make them bring extra of what should be house amenities and then telling us to pay out of pocket for the house grill. The final incident happened as we were cleaning before checking out. We found a lot of mouse poop under one of the couches. Very disturbing, especially since we had young children with us. Extremely unacceptable and just flat out disgusting! If ever back in the area, we will not be pursuing a second stay at this house.

Everything was as described, thank you!

We were a group friends of 10 adults. The house was clean, lots of space. Loved the big table. Loved that some of us could be seating on two separate rooms to watch TV.

Great location which backs up to a golf course and is close to the beach. Beach is not a reasonable walkable distance for families with children since it’s a two lane road with no sidewalk but Parking at the state park was easy. The place itself provided plenty of room for the 12 adults and 8 kids. Could use some updates with (fixture corrosion in baths, paint missing, yard screen door not usable since screen was ripped off), the firepit did not have any chairs (as featured in the photos). Kitchen was undersized for cooking for large groups but we managed. There were communications deficits with the host with attempting to reach for questions prior to our departure (place is managed by Evolve). A single water heater for a house this size became problematic with the number of adults during this reservation. You will also need to buy or bring your own propane. It is not supplied. We bought a tank refill across the street which was easy to do. The house itself was adequate for our purposes of a family reunion, just needs a little TLC.

Nice place, lots of room, we all had a great time

Overall our stay was good. The house was huge and very accommodating for our large family weekend. More than enough beds and the beds/pillows were actually comfortable. Kitchen had more than enough dishwater, utensils, cups. There was several things that were not ok though. The grill was not usable. It was rusted and looked like it’s been left out or open in bad weather. We were not able to cook on it. Even if we could, we would have needed to buy our own propane. I have never had a rental supply a barbecue with no propane. We did however, find a small grill smoker in the basement that we were able to buy charcoal for and used it to get the job done. However, being that we planned both of our dinners to barbecue for 20+ people it was a bit tedious to cook on a small grill.The house can accommodate 20+ people, but some items did not suffice for 20+ people for three nights/4 days. There was one roll of paper towels for our entire stay, only two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, and five small trash bags for the entire stay, needless to say we had to buy paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags for the household. There was no aluminum foil, or Ziploc bags. I know this isn’t mandatory, but it is nice if the kitchen is stocked. Lastly, we requested to leave an hour later as 10 AM was pretty early to get out 20+ people. They honored the request, but asked if we could wash a load of towels. Not a problem, but the rental does not provide any kind of laundry detergent.

The house is fantastic. Very large and great location. The drawbacks were some of the small details, windows dirty, Grill not cleaned, foosball and pool table not good, when we moved the couches it was not clean. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again, I just wish they would just address the small issues.

Excellent stay

We had 23 ppl stay in this house for 3 nights. Michelle was our contact and was very helpful, answering all of our questions. The 2 bedrooms on the main floor share the full bath that is just off the kitchen. The 3 bedrooms up the main stairs are wonderful. Tw of them share the same hallway bathroom but one has its own bath and a large closet that a 2 yr old’s pack ‘n play fit in beautifully. The other bedroom above the garage is very private and large and has its own bath. The living areas (living room and game room) are very large, each with lg TV, and much comfy seating. The dining area has a very large table. The kitchen is tiny but well stocked with dishes, flatware. - with a table & 4 chairs. Nice front porch. Very close to an adorable very handy market called white duck market. The owner is great. Almost a mile to public beach. My husband and I walked easily. A dune to climb and run down. We were very pleased with everything about the house. Extra full refrigerator in the garage.
