We had a great time fishing, boating, swimming and exploring the river. The house and nearby are are beautiful. The hosts are super easy to communicate with and more than helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Had a nice stay at this place. The owner was great and met us to show us how to use the boat and get around the river. Boat worked great all weekend, getting gas at the station in town was also easy. Nice spot with some nature trails and deer on the island. Screened in porches were great and the firepit by the water was awesome. We did had to get propane and trash bags to use, and finding an old grease pan in the oven the was kinda gross. We also had issues with ants on the counter.tops and getting into our food. Trash was also a bit unexpected when we found out we had to go find a dumpster in town to use. But the owner was helpful in telling us where to find one. A few minor things, but overall we had a great weekend.
We had a great time. Eddie and Gabrielle were awesome
Was met at the dock by the owner of property showed how to get to property and showed around very friendly and helpful. When ever we had a question they answered it within a hour by text always willing to help. Caught a walleye off the dock. Town was cool ate at river saint joe was amazing could not ask for more when leaving everyone was ready to start preparing to book another trip next year.
Southwest Michigan has lots of great spots and we wanted a quaint spot close to them. We found this place on VRBO and its location on the river was the selling point. We were close enough to explore the area, after having the morning coffees on the dock enjoying the river roll by. After going out, we were able to come back and take advantage of the boat for the afternoon and cruise/float the river followed by a few evening drinks on the dock. Taking the boat to and from the island was certainly manageable, though it took a little planning. The hosts were helpful and informative, getting us checked in and set up. Overall the house was good, especially being right in the river. We’d recommend it.
The owners are beautiful souls with a beautiful property! Our stay was perfectly relaxing and we loved every minute of our four day stay! The property was extremely clean and very welcoming! I look forward to our return trip next year!
Another wonderful time spent at the lake house. First time with friends- I loved it so much I couldn’t wait to bring my family here!! My family was in awe over this place. (As expected) The set up of the house is the coolest! The aesthetic is everything. Such a great place to have tons of fun & live up every minute of vacay life. Boat cruise, swimming, grilling, games, soaking up the sun, watching scary movies all night & then watching the sun rise by morning. I am so grateful for the memories created here this year & thankful for such awesome hosts!! Can’t wait to come back next year!
This place was absolutely a fantastic experience. The owner's were super friendly and helpful. We had a great time on the river fishing, beaching, and don't forget the rope swing. Also found time to relax. You can't beat the view first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee.
Location was absolutely perfect on a beautiful stretch of River, we will be back!
Had a bachelor party of 10 guys stay on the island for a fantastic weekend of golf, fishing, and just watching the river flow. The hosts were great, and made everything easy. Strongly recommend!
The property is absolutely beautiful!!! 100/10 recommend if you’re looking for an awesome time on a budget! We received nothing but professional hospitality and the owner was nothing but kind and made sure we enjoyed our stay! The pontoon boat was included with our stay and the river has a breathtaking view! I couldn’t recommend this place enough, we’ll definitely be back every year!
