    We had a great time in Coloma at your house! The house was fully stocked! Overall cleanliness was good. I did notice in the pocket next to one of the beds upstairs a dirty Band-Aid and chip bag and underneath the bed on the main floor were two socks and dust on the floor. The kitchen faucet was hard to work with and the refrigerator door would swing open pretty far. We had a lot of fun playing all the games that were available and sitting around the bonfire telling stories. Thank you!

    Our family enjoys going to different cities around Lake Michigan at summers' end for the past few years. This stay was our favorite! Great location inland to several beaches off Lake Michigan (Silver Beach, North & South Beach, & More)! House was perfect for our 4 kids to be entertained after a long day at the beach and they loved having the library next door. Walking distance from many good local restaurants and local park with splash pad. Highly recommend and if we visit this part of the state again, will plan on booking here again!

    This home exceeded our expectations- so large yet comfy. Especially enjoyed mornings and evenings sitting out on the covered porch and the enormous family room. Host went over and beyond with every detail. This is one of our favorite stays by far!!!!!

    This cottage was absolutely lovely! The cozy atmosphere, combined with the beautiful surroundings, made for a truly relaxing getaway. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the living area was perfect for unwinding. We especially loved the porch which was perfect for morning coffee and chatting. Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looenjoyable vacation.

    The owner was fantastic, she was very professional and responded right away when I sent her a message. The place was absolutely beautiful. She left some goodies and had everything you would need to stay there. The only complaint would be the upstairs bathroom tub, it looked stained (probably just need extra elbow grease to be cleaned). No one used it. Also, toilet seat is loose, it moves when you sit on it (I brought my own toilet covers). Other than that the place was perfect.

    Our group of 6 women loved staying at this darling cottage. It was tastefully decorated and it had 3 full bathrooms for us. It's a great central location between South Haven and St. Joseph. The owner has thought of everything you would need. We would definitely stay here again!

    We had an excellent stay. The house was lovely! I really appreciated that when I reached out, Shannon provided lots of great recommendations for restaurants and wineries in the area. The location allowed us to spend time in both St. Joseph and South Harbor within a reasonable drive.

    It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. As a family of seven, we greatly appreciate all of the beach items that are in the garage and available to use. Eliminates the need to pack a lot of extra gear!

    I've been struggling on how to write this review. The house was fine. But the neighbor is upset about living next to a rental and managed to get our car towed. We were out $325 and had to get the police involved to get the car back. The info binder with instructions clearly stated we could park in the driveway or on the side streets, but not on the main street. So when one of our group arrived late at night, she asked if she could park on the street to avoid blocking anyone in. We both checked for signage, just in case, saw none, and went to bed. The vehicle was towed 6 hours later. The police said that a neighbor called and complained about a vehicle parked near their house. So they towed it. Rechecking in daylight we could see signage on the other side of the street and every other block. Looking at coloma ordinances, there is no overnight parking on any side streets. They were supposed to issue a $10 ticket according to city ordinance. After 6 unpaid tickets, a tow is in order. The escalation is clearly a ploy to get money from out of towners. The host insists that her parking instructions were somehow not meant to be instructive and we should have noticed the signage on all the other streets and concluded not to park there and our issue is with coloma, not her. She refused any kind of reimbursement. I tried contacting vrbo directly. What finally worked was getting a partial reimbursement from my credit card company.

    We had 4 adults and 4 kids, 8 and under, on this trip. The house was SO clean, so quaint and cozy, yet spacious. We had all we needed and more, and truly LOVED our home away from home for the last 5 days. ❤️

    The house and the amenities are exactly as described in the vrbo listing. We had 5 adults and a toddler on the trip, and we had more than enough room. We grilled out most evenings and spent time on the porch. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to cook or grill. There is a great ice cream shop and park within walking distance of the home. St. Joe and South Haven are easy drives. Shannon made it easy to have a beach day with all the extra chairs, towels, and toys she kindly shares. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Shannon, for sharing your home!
