Note that no boats or other watercraft are included with the rental. Please also note that Garrett Road runs between the house and lake.brbrThe geographic location of the vacation home in the heart of southwest Michigan makes it a great location for families and/or groups that are looking to visit any part of southwest Michigan, including Lake Michigan, the numerous cute little beach towns along Lake Michigan including New Buffalo, Saint Joseph and South Haven, and the hip and fun university town of Kalamazoo, which is home to both Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College. There are several famous wineries in the area including Tabor Hill Winery and St. Julian Winery. The vacation home is also not too far from southwest Michigan's ski resorts of Timber Ridge, Bittersweet, and Swiss Valley. Four Winds Casino and Resort is also not far from this vacation home.brbrWe truly believe that this vacation rental cottage provides a great location for groups and families to stay while visiting anywhere in southwest Michigan and we would love to have you stay at the cottage!brbrbrTHE SPACE:brbrThe home was completed remodeled over 2022-2023 and it's now truly gorgeous and quite luxurious!

A new $20,000 multi-zone central air conditioning system (with some bedrooms having their own additional A/C unit) was installed in the house in 2019 and it works great at cooling the house in the summer! This vacation rental home is both pet-friendly and child-friendly and is truly a wonderful location for families and groups both large and small!brbrbrPLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:brbr1) CAMERAS: Please note that outdoor security cameras are present at the property.
