Great property for extended family stay Very clean. Large kitchen with everything you need.
The Old Dam Inn was absolutely perfect! A group of 10 of us stayed here for a friend's wedding at Camp Newaygo, and it couldn't have gone better. The inn had more than enough space and the hosts have thought of everything. We couldn't get over how perfect the kitchen was for a big group! The garage was also the perfect place to watch the football game while shooting some pool. 5/5!
Very fun house with an interesting history and more games than you can play. Awesome yard space and just a 1 minute paddle to the larger lakes made this a perfect spot for a reunion gathering.
A historical house with beautiful views and perfect for family gatherings Twenty members of our family had a great week
Even better than the pictures! It is such a beautiful property and the themed rooms were such a fun touch. The owners were so friendly, helpful, and responsive. We were staying in the area for a retreat and we couldn’t have picked a better location if we tried. The owners have thought of everything for their guests. Everything was labeled clearly and easy to find, we had plenty of wood for daily campfires, and enough space for all 24 of us. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the outdoors (boats, volleyball, griddle, walks) the most but the garage was a favorite hang out spot after dark. Thanks again!
We really enjoyed our stay. Great property! Very clean and as described. Very near lake access, enjoyed many kayak trips and swimming in the beautiful emerald lake. Kitchen is very well equipped and labeled. Could use a few more kitchen towels. Hosts are very helpful and responsive!
This property was perfect for our Christmas Party. The house was all decorated for Christmas and Kurt and Heather the owners were so very nice and helpful. My family loved the map room the most.
Beautiful stay, such a great experience. Will be returning again in the future. The pictures do not do the property justice! Fantastic hosts! Newaygo is such a great town as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with family ranging from 4 months to 80 years old. Everything at the Inn was as described online. House and property were clean and well kept. Everyone loved the garage space with all the fun games. This property is well-stocked with everything you need. Owners were quick to arrive with extra bedding when needed and they were very responsive the entire time. Pretty hard to beat this place.
This property was perfect for our family. The garage/game room and the outdoor activities kept the older kids occupied. The kids play room kept the younger kids happy. The lake and fishing kept the men busy. The large kitchen made preparing meals easy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation week at the Old Dam Inn.
Spacious, up-to-date home. Owners were gracious and home was clean and organized. Lots of fun activities to do on the property.
