Summer Fun Retreat, Pool, Huge Yard, Gardens, Chickens, Close 2 Beaches & Towns

This was the most amazing VRBO our family has been able to rent. Our children (ages 3,5,7) enjoyed the home as much as we did! The kids loved taking care of the chickens (honestly they didn't stop talking about it), the pool was the perfect size - equipped with a sturdy no-entry fence to ease any safety concerns, the house was equipped with plenty of toys for all ages, the vegetables gardens were fun to explore, and the outside was large to run, play, and observe nature. Us parents enjoyed the coffee nook, outside firepit, pool, and multiple tvs. The kitchen was more than well equipped and easy to pivot for cooking at home, take out, and feeding multiple ages. We will be coming back to this wonderful home!

Where do we start??? We lucked out by finding this amazing property for our annual four generations of gals trip. The house is nestled in the woods, situated on a stunning 2 acres offering the perfect seclusion. The minute you walk in the front door, you are welcomed by an amazing interior offering plenty of space for quite a few guests. Our great grandma of the bunch felt like an absolute queen in the master bedroom, Yaya (grandma) was comfy in the guest room, and Mama and Sweet pea lived their room with a twin and double bed. The butterflies were swarming the butterfly bush by the pool enclosure and the hummingbirds (Henrietta and Henry) were great entertainment….however the best of all were….Red and her roost (the 8 adorable and talkative chickens)! The house was so well equipped with everything one could hope for in a rental, complete with the most awesome playhouse and stroller for any dolls that make the journey. We loved our stay and could not recommend this property more highly, an absolute gem!!!

This is the second time we have stayed here - we came back because it’s perfect for families! Wonderful location and incredibly well appointed. The hosts, Anne and Bill, are very helpful and have great communication. Our children wake up every morning wanting to help with the chickens, take a long walk/bike down the street (with great views) and then jump in the heated pool! Plenty of toys and kid safety items around the house, if needed. We will certainly be back!

This was the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at, and the rare rental where it is even better in person than in the photos. The house was perfectly equipped for traveling with a small child - from toys and safety gates to thoughtful details like a kneepad for giving baths and children’s dinnerware. Our son absolutely loved it, he had plenty to play with and it gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the home! The grounds and gardens are more sprawling than you can see from the pictures, and we loved picking tomatoes, basil and blackberries. With the fresh produce and well stocked kitchen we were able to make many lovely meals at home. The home really stands out because of the thoughtfulness of the owners. Anne and Bill clearly spent a ton of time making this a beautiful and comfortable home for their renters, which is evident from the plush linens, detailed guidebook, essential supplies (cleaning supplies! Bug spray! Portable speaker! S’mores kit!!) and lovely decor. Can’t recommend it enough.

Lovely!

We had such a great experience. First of all, Anne, the property owner was great. She was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. She thought of everything you’d need for the perfect stay. You felt as if you were in your own home. The home was very clean, she had lots of towels, pool toys, nice soaps etc. We loved the pool, the gardens were magnificent and the chickens were fun to watch. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time with family at Anne and Bill's beautiful home. The layout of the house was really nice and spacious. The pool was a total hit with the kids and the perfect size. The linens and towels were all so nice, and we appreciated the extra fleece blankets around! Our family made many new memories here that we will cherish, and It was so nice to have the backdrop of this home to make them in. Thank you Anne!

Six of my girlfriends and I had a lovely time staying at house. The property was beautiful and the house was outstanding. We will for sure all go back! Thanks to Anne and Bill for letting us stay.

My husband and our two young kids enjoyed our stay so much! Anne and Bill did a great job communicating prior to our arrival. Perfect spot for families with young children - plenty of toys, space, child proofed home. Very well appointed house with all the kitchen and home basics provided. The location is perfect - along a beautiful street that is a joy for long walks with views of the lake and very close to Saugatuck/Douglas. Heated pool was a huge hit with our kids! Already planning our next trip back.

This was a beautiful house, well located and Anne could not have been more attentive. We look forward to going back next year!
