My daughter's wedding was in Benton Harbor and no one lives in the area so we needed a place to stay. I found this house last minute and am so glad that I did. It slept 16 comfortably. it was clean and well stocked. The lake is beautiful and although it was to cold to enjoy the water, the sunrises were amazing. I would highly recommend this property a would love to stay again some day

The property is very spacious, plenty of room throughout the 2 floors, deck and big yard. Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves, the nice weather allowed us to use some of the amenities the owner offers, like ride on the pontoon (extra charge), kayak and paddle boat. The kids enjoyed themselves playing in the sand. House is equipped with everything you need to cook meals. Communication with owner, was excellent! He was always available for any requests that we had. Overall this was an excellent choice for our group, will definitely stay here again. In fact we already looked for availability for next summer lol, but house is unfortunately fully booked. Thank you John for everything!

The place was the best my family and myself loved it. So much fun and there was so much provided for the house and lake. Everyone wants to come back next year. The owner is great responds right away with any questions.

Everything about my family vacation at this house was perfect. The location of the home and lake itself were beautiful and ideal. And the accommodations provided by the renter were top notch - from kitchen ware, glasses and appliances to the abundance of beach towels. Having a basement area for the kids (movie room with five theater chairs and bunk bed room) was incredibly nice for the kids AND adults who needed a bit of a vacation too. As a host, the homeowner went above and beyond. The check-in/check-out instructions were crystal clear and he often checked in via text to make sure our stay was going well. My family has stayed in many vacation homes around the great state of Michigan, but they all want to return to this home for years to come. I only hope my rave review doesn't impede my ability to reserve once again.

I cannot say enough good things! The house was perfect! Upstairs for adults and downstairs for kids. There are 2 tables which is perfect for coloring downstairs & eating upstairs. There are so many beach towels which is great! Just make sure to be a good guest & wash them. The WiFi was perfect, huge new fridge but another in the basement in case. All of the bathrooms are very clean, modern, and large. There are bowls, woks, more cups then you could ever use, and many useful things in the many cabinets. Lastly, the outside has a perfect setup. Even in March our kids swam & played on the paddle boat. John answered so many questions for me & we will 100% be back! Just need to book in advance since this house is such a great find!

Spent 2 nights at this location and had a great time! The house was very clean and organized with lots of room for guests! A very short drive to the bars/restaurants/stores. John was so great with answering all of my questions throughout the weekend! Absolutely recommend this location to everyone!

We had a wonderful stay at the property! It was beautiful! There was plenty of sleeping space and space to gather to hang out with 10 of us. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful with suggestions in area and making our stay wonderful! Highly recommend this property!

I loved everything about this vacation. The house was exactly what we were looking for. We planned an end of the year guys golf trip and I was originally worried about the house not being big enough to accommodate 12-14 men. We ended up with only 8 guys and there was more than sufficient room for all of us. I definitely will consider doing this again next year and would love to business with the Paligas again!

Great overall experience. Location was great, kitchen was well stocked, plenty of parking. Would definitely stay here again.

Had a Great time at this place. Owner was great. We had a baby and they had a pack & play - high chair - crib. Tons of towels. The bed was good. Plenty of Hot Water. Nice place - we would rent it again. Phil

Everything was great from the moment we got there. The place was exactly as it was described. So much space and everything you need for a great stay. Owner is very fast at replying to any questions or concerns.

Went for my daughters bachelorette party. 13 of us had plenty of room to stay and get ready to go out to several wineries on Saturday. Would highly recommend this house.

The house was extremely clean. Very roomy - we had a mini family reunion and there was plenty of room for everyone. The lake is lovely! The kitchen was very well stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes and glasses we could have ever wanted. Overall, an excellent stay.

A large house that exceeded our expectations. The house is well stocked and the extra refrigerator downstairs was a real bonus. This is a perfect house for a family vacation. We had 6 adults and 5 children in our group. Great fishing and swimming in the clear lake with a sandy bottom. Our grandkids loved the “water mat” and there are lots of outside chairs. John the owner was fantastic! He was always ready to answer our questions and ensure we had everything needed to make it the perfect family vacation. We are going back next year!

We chose this house from the website for a few specific reasons, and it did not disappoint. Lovely house was comfortable and clean with enough room for everyone. It even has central air and wifi. Since we have young grandchildren I wanted a sandy beach area where you wade into the water, and the kids had a blast. The house was equipped with many items that we've had to drag with us at past rentals, i.e. Bed sheets, bath and beach towels, kitchen utensils and baking dishes, box fans. Basically you bring your clothes, food and beverages and you're good to go.

My family of 10 adults and 5 kids stayed here for Thanksgiving. We get together only once every two years, so it is very important to all of us. The house was beautiful, and large enough for everyone to sleep comfortably. The huge (and well-stocked!) open kitchen made meal prep easy, and we were all able to dine together. Two large living rooms were great for kids and adults to enjoy their own movies. We enjoyed playing games altogether, and sitting around the fire pit. Host was welcoming and easy to reach throughout the stay. I had a lot of people to please in the family, and everyone was thrilled with the place. We hope to come again for our next stay, or even earlier. We would LOVE to come back sometime during the summer to go swimming and fishing. Thank you!

We went up here for a girls weekend. We really enjoyed the first night as the weather was great. Sitting on the pier was so peaceful. The house was very comfy and we all enjoyed our stay even with all the rain we got on Saturday and Sunday, We would book this house again.

Had everything we needed. Clean, updated and spacious. We had a great time staying here! Would highly recommend.

House had everything. Good location. Do feel return of deposit taking too long though, as I am still waiting after three weeks.

We had five couples stay in this home for two nights/three days. We had a great experience from beginning to end. The homeowner was helpful and friendly. The home was in beautiful condition and was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and be comfortable. The sandy beach and dock were a fun addition for swimming and fishing. Plenty of outdoor seating and bedrooms made the house feel even larger. Two huge TV's were a huge plus as it was the start of the NFL football season the weekend we were in the home.

I wanted to have my grandchildren experience the kind of vacation I had as a child in Sister Lakes. This was not quite the same as the simple cabins we had stayed in -- it was so much better! :D The house is beautiful and has all the modern comforts: two large, separate living spaces with big screen TVs, theater seating in both areas, fully-equipped kitchen, with the added bonus of a private beach. My children and grandchildren loved it and we had a wonderful week. Owner John was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

From the moment we arrived we knew that we had truly lucked out; this cottage has so many positive features. It has two different "living areas" with large rooms and comfortable seating in both; the kitchen has every possible utensil and even two sets of silverware. There are many places to sleep and all are comfortable. The beachfront is nice and we enjoyed using the fire pit with the available ample supply of wood. Plenty of chairs and two dining areas inside as well as an outdoor table on a patio near the lake and two tables on the deck. The owners were exceptionally friendly and accommodating; they communicated readily and wanted to be sure that we had everything we needed. Great lake, too. All in all, we felt that we had one of the most relaxing labor day weekends ever and can't wait to return. Five Star and More!!!

Our family just spent a week at this house. We can't wait to go back next year! The house is gorgeous, clean, well equipped to meet your every need. The yard is wonderful, with a clean beach and a walk out downstairs that makes it easy to bring toddlers in for a rest or a bathroom break. The kitchen has everything to make meal time easier and the deck and firepit make outdoor gatherings fun. The owner, John, is so easy to get a hold of for questions that come up. It is easy to see that John and his family put their heart and soul into this house to make renters comfortable, and that is exactly one of the reasons we will be back next year!! Thank you for giving us such a memorable week!!

Recently stayed for the weekend and could not have been happier. The home had everything needed for a perfect weekend away! Plenty of space and awesome owner! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at this lakefront house. John was a pleasure to work with. It was plenty big for our group of 8 adults. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped which worked well for all the cooks we had in the kitchen. There were enough blankets and tons of towels including beach towels. The wifi worked well, with 4 of us on laptops at the same time. We spent most of our time on the large deck. We made a trip to St. Joseph's which was about 20-30 minutes away. The guys went golfing at 2 courses close to the house. We enjoyed walks and a bonfire, wood was supplied. I would recommend this house to those looking for a quiet stay on the lake.
