The house is well maintained, clean, and has so much space. The extra twin bed in the top level bedroom was great for our family. When you were on the top floor or in the lower level, you really couldn't hear much from the main floor--this was key for our group, which included young kids who had very early bedtimes. We visit family in Fennville as often as possible and will stay in this house again. It's conveniently located to some of our favorite places, including Cranes and Waypost, and in general is just a great home base for the whole Fennville/Saugatuck area. The communication was really easy and clear. Overall incredible house and location.

Me, my husband and some of our extended family had such a great time at this house. The property is BEAUTIFUL and so is the house. Extremely clean, comfortable and check in couldn’t have been easier. The host also provided detailed instructions for the house.. where utensils belonged, what kind of stores and entertainment, hiking.. etc were in the area. We would definitely stay again!

Our group stayed here recently for a friends getaway. IT was a great space- the property was so clean and well kept. It was close to the beach, private and secluded. There was plenty of parking for us, it was well stocked with essentials and there were clear and easy instructions throughout the house. The host was friendly and responsive. We had no issues during our stay. Definitely recommend this beautiful home

This is a great property that accommodates a large group, with plenty of separate rooms and sleeping arrangements. The house is amazingly decorated and equipped. The property provides privacy and seclusion. A short drive to everything you need. There is not a large beach area to access at the house, however way better beaches are nearby for a short drive. The restaurants in Fennville were good, or a short drive to Saugatuck for many more options. Communication with the host was the best of anywhere we stayed - got back to us immediately on any questions or assistance. Highly recommend.

We rented this house for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary weekend. There were 10 adults and it was the perfect house. Tons of space, tons of beds, a beautiful kitchen. The outside area had many sitting areas and a firepit. Keith was a great host with outstanding communication. I would recommend this house to any group for any events.

Don't know where to begin but all of the previous reviews were spot on. As you pull in the drive you realize you have your own little paradise driving up to the house. The grounds are immaculate both in front and back of the house. Loved to sit out in early morning on front porch with coffee and enjoy the peace and wildlife strolling through. The back porch and gardens are just plain beautiful and kept up great. There is a nice firepit with plenty of chairs and a bench we enjoyed a few nights with smores and good old family stories. Inside the house there is so much space for everybody to enjoy their own privacy or hang out together. The house is decorated with so many different kinds of art depending on which area you are in. Couldn't have been impressed more and many in our party commented on how nice it all came together. Keith was a fabulous host and answered any questions super fast. We would highly recommend you staying at this house if you are in the area and you won't regret it. The area has so much to offer from Saugatuck, Holland, South Haven, Fennville, and many orchards and wineries and fresh fruit stands. Thank you for sharing your house with my family and myself as it was much appreciated!!
