Great house has everything you would need with plenty of beds and massive yard to explore.
However the checkout “check list” was pretty lengthy with how much the cleaning fee was. Not a fan of that but nonetheless would stay again.

We had a great time! My four married kids and their children came from 4 different states for a family reunion. The house was perfect for families with young children. Lots to do in the game room downstairs and lots of fun things provided for our time at the lake. We really appreciated all the water "toys". The grandkids had such a fun time down by the water.
5.0
We had 25 adults on this trip and the house was spacious to accommodate us all comfortably. Some couples had to bunk together in rooms but it worked. The house is supplied with everything!! The kitchen even had crockpots. We brought our own but wish we knew how well stocked it was to lighten our load. We had a fabulous time. Lots of things to do and games to play. We loved going to sandbar and hanging out all day with our pontoon. There were very few people on the lake the whole week so we basically had it all to ourselves. Great memories made with the family.

The only thing our parents wanted in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary was for their kids and grandkids to go “jump in the lake” and spend some time together “away from it all” on a lake in Michigan and that is exactly what we did!! We could not have asked for anything better than Jimmy’s property! The description and details of what to expect were spot on! I believe we utilized everything this rental home had to offer! Most of the family had never stayed on a lake before so this was super special. Some favorites included swimming, playing in the clean sand and simply relaxing down by the lake. Many basketball games were played even some under the lights! The boys fished every day - largest bass caught this week was 4.25 pounds!! We used the kayaks, paddle boat, SUP and swim deck. We rented a pontoon 2 of our days which was a perfect addition to putt around the lake stopping at both the deep water and sand bar to play and swim! The campfires down by the water were amazing as we talked, made s’mores, shared fun times. The whole process was super easy and the communication with Jimmy was very responsive. We highly recommend this rental! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with our family!

Memory Keepsake

Homeowners pay attention to detail and make their home a wonderful place to have a vacation. Very nice kitchen that is well supplied with kitchen necessities. Plenty of space for large families. Very nice area out front for an evening fire in the driveway. Plenty to do outdoors and indoors. Owners are very accommodating and helpful. Wonderful vacation for our entire family!

Friends and Family Getaway
What a great place for a large group! Although the weather was a little rainy the house was spacious and the screened in porch offered us a bit of the outdoors and a beautiful view of the lake.

Amazing
The property and Jimmy were absolutely awesome. The amount of random games/activities that the house has to offer is endless. The location feels very private. Every person that was on my vacation (14 of us; plenty of places to sleep) commented how awesome it was.

Great place for our large group
We are an extended family with adults and kids getting together after an year of lockdown. This was a perfect place for all of us, with lots of room for everyone and so much to do for the younger ones.
Our host (Jimmy) was great in all aspects, easy to work with and immediately available through out the planning and stay.
Sports court was a big hit and spend tons of time there while the beach and swimming was the favorite part for kids.
We had a great time and started planning for future visits.

We have been coming to this vacation home for years now. Since purchasing it, the owner always does something new on the property, we look forward to finding out what it is! The front patio with the Adirondack chairs, fire pit and open space is a great place for kids to ride bikes, play with bubbles and water balloons. The lake is always comfortable, the outdoor seating and deck was a great addition, done a couple years ago. This year the picnic table was moved to the deck under the shade and there is electricity on the deck - great for inflating rafts and charging our bluetooth speakers. The house is always clean with a great flow, the kids never get bored on this property and since it is secluded and far from the main road they have a ton of space to safely run around. The Wifi was a welcome addition, we do come to unplug and relax but 2 of our family members are in masters programs and we are in the middle of selling our home, so email needed to be accessed at times and it was nice my brothers didn't have to go to the McDonalds in town to work on homework. The screened in porch is always enjoyable, a great place to have dinner and not worry about the mosquitos. The basement rec room is a great place for kids to hang out, and the large laundry room makes traveling with little ones easy since we can do loads during the week. Excellent property and great for large groups and kids.

Great getaway for a large family.
It is so difficult to find a vacation destination that 19 family members can stay in and be comfortable. Jimmy's house is THAT place. Enough room for everyone with space to spread out. This was our first visit and the description on Home Away was spot on. So many great things to do without ever needing to leave the property. Jimmy was so understanding when I communicated that we had lost the paddle board Oar. We felt so bad and he made us feel so much better. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your wonderful home with our family.

Wonderful family getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful well kept home. The house was perfect for our group and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the lake for using the kayaks, SUP, paddle boat and floats. The deck by the lake was like an outdoor living room!
The fire pit was great for s'mores after dinner in the screened in porch off the kitchen.
Jimmy was great to work with and very responsive to any questions.

Great family vacation spot! Tons of room!
2nd summer staying at this house. Perfect in every way possible. The house, the lake, the new docks, everything. We definitely will be back. The kids loved the private, secluded beach. And south haven is only 25 min away.
Thanks!

Fantastic Family vacay!!
This place was great!! Nice little Lake beach with so many water toys, kayaks, and a paddle board. Home was very family friendly, clean, and had everything we needed. Jimmy was also easy to contact, communication was easy and fast. I would definitely go back, wish we had more time there.

Property is beautiful, well maintained and plenty of activities for adults and kids of all ages.
We have been to this property several times, and every year there are great improvements made since Jimmy has been the owner. This year we really enjoyed the new deck and seating area he put in at the beach. The outdoor couches were comfortable for the adults to relax, and the deck is nicely shaded in the afternoon. We go with extended family with younger children and the beach is perfect. It is shallow enough for them inbetween the piers to safely play and enjoy themselves but deep enough by the end of the pier for older kids and adults to jump off. There is plenty of sand to play with, and kept clean. The basketball court is great for young kids to ride their bikes or scooters, and we really utilized the front yard this year - there is a new patio with seating so we could sit in front with a fire and watch the kids ride their bikes. The aesthetic updates inside are so nice, it definitely feels like a lake house. I had to reach out to Jimmy once while we were there with a question about the lights and he quickly responded. It's an easy drive into South Haven for restaurants and shopping, and the nearby town of Gobles has a small market for last minute food items, and places to buy firewood and ice. Easy and scenic drive to golf courses in the area. Highly recommend!

Beautiful lake home
We had a wonderful time! There were 20 of us, basically 3 siblings with their spouses, children & grandchildren. With 7 bedrooms we all had a bed. Everything you could possibly need was there. Fully equipped kitchen, water toys (kayaks, paddle boat), shed full of beach toys, fire pit, game court that had basketball, tennis, shuffleboard. Kids even found some kids golf clubs and enjoyed hitting balls in the enormous yard. My favorite spot was the hanging swing chair on the back porch looking down at the water. I highly recommend this property for any large group. They have thought of everything and Jimmy, the owner, was a pleasure to work with!! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect for family get-away - beautiful & peaceful
This was a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for my parents. There were 25 of us all together -- with 17 kids ranging from 3 to 19. We've taken several trips before as a family and rented houses, but this is by far the cleanest, most well furnished/stocked house we've ever stayed in. The only thing that would have made it better for our large party is to have one more full bath. Both the house and the property are absolutely beautiful. There's plenty to keep everyone entertained, both inside and out. And even when it rained, there was plenty of space for us all to spread out inside.
Jimmy is fantastic to work with. He was very patient with my many, many questions, both prior to our arrival and after we got there. He was always very quick to respond, even late one night when there was a widespread power outage. He responded quickly, got it reported, and followed up with us. The power company had power restored in just a couple of hours.
The property is in a remote area, but just a short 20 minute drive to South Haven. Most of our family has AT&T and did not have cell service. There are two that have Verizon, though, and they were fine.
If we vacation in this area again, we will definitely book this property if available.

perfect peaceful getaway
Jimmy was super accommodating, flexible, available, and so nice.
Amazingly pretty and quiet spot...practically had the whole lake to ourselves during the week!
House was large enough for all 22 kids and adults; fantastic yard to run and play; tennis and basketball games; late night pool tournaments; gorgeous new docks and deck with a perfect shady spot for elderly parents to relax and take in all the water fun- which included kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, water football and frisbee, floating with a cocktail, and since we rented a boat also tubing and skiing.
We were a little short on towels but there is washer, dryer and detergent so no problem.
Didn't quite have enough sheets/pillow cases for futon and couches but were brought right over with a phone call. The only real drawback for us was the lack of a main bedroom and bathroom on the ground level for grandma and grandpa, but we made do. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Beautiful home in a very private location.
We had three families and lots of kids. There was plenty of room for all of us. We were very thankful for all the games since the weather wasn’t good. And lots of toys for toddlers, too. There was everything anyone would need provided. Close to South Haven and Kalamazoo. The beach area and docks were wonderful, although the lake itself was full of vegetation. Except for between the docks that the owners keep clear. We would stay again and hope for better weather!

Perfect Family Vacation Get-Away!
Our immediate family vacationed at this property just after the 4th of July holiday. This included 4 adult couples with 5 boys under the age of 5. We had more than enough room in the house and the amenities at this home/property is endless. This home is very kid-friendly with an array of toys and games on the main and basement floors. There are plenty of adult games too that creates a fun, yet competitive atmosphere. The home was clean and well maintained.
The outdoor sport court provided the boys (and the adults) many hours of fun! The private beach and docks allowed for a relaxing and peaceful gathering place. The lake itself is secluded, calm and very beautiful. We also rented a pontoon for 3 days from a nearby boat rental company. Launching the boat and returning the boat was flawless. We were able to tour the lake, swim and fish which was well worth the investment.
Our family had a very comfortable stay and loved everything about this property. Jimmy was excellent to work with and everything was exactly as described. We would definitely recommend this vacation destination and look forward to staying here in the future!

Great house for a large group
Our family had 20+ kids and adults and this property provided everything we needed and more! We all slept comfortably, with most families having their own room. There were lots of items in the house for little ones, which helped our group. There were enough areas in the house so that we could have several activites going at the same time at night and no one really interrupted anyone else's fun or sleep. The kitchen had almost everything we needed, and had plenty of room for several people to pitch in and prepare meals together. The screened in porch was a relaxing gathering place, as was the lake. The lighted sport court was a big hit with our active family...badminton, pickleball, basketball, wiffleball, you name it. And I have to mention the marathon ping pong games going on in the lower level game room, plus a pool game or two. There was even a weight room, though we were so busy doing other fun things outside during the day so that went unused. You will hardly need to bring anything if you rent this property because it has it all. Lastly, the owner was extremely accomodating and very communicative. We voted to come back if we get together next year.

The Family Loved it!
We had a large multi-generational family together for five fun-filled days this summer. The house included fun after fun after fun. Kids (and parents) loved the basketball court. Everyone enjoyed the beach. Owners have packed the house with games and toys for all ages. We swam, had a s'more fiesta, played competitive Hearts games and endless rounds of Horse on the basketball court. Jimmie, the owner, was responsive and easy to deal with. Quick to respond when issues arose. We drove 25 minutes to South Haven and Saugatuck for those who wanted Lake MIchigan views . But if you have younger kids, there's little need to leave the property.

Amazing!
This house is so beautiful and perfect for a big group. The owners are amazing and have great communication. So much to do with the lake, sports court and everything else the house has to offer. We will definitely be back next year!

Bloomingdale Outing
We have a group of middle managers and we go away each year for golf, team building and fun in the sun. The Bloomingdale resort is perfect for all the testosterone flying around. We're all very competitive and love sports. Bloomingdale gives us all we can handle; Basketball all night, tennis, horse shoes, Kayaking, ping pong, pool championships, weight lifting. Heck, we even had a contest of who made the best bon fire. Everything is right there for you and convenient at Bloomingdale. We love this house. We've even gone twice a year before. The property is warm, friendly and inviting. It's not stuffy as other properties were, so nice that we didn't want to sit down on the furniture. Bloomingdale is nice and feels like home. We sat on the floor, played video games and had a ball. The kitchen is open and user friendly. I also appreciate the "basic" supplies that people need when they come to a property. They were all there for us. The sleeping configuration is great. There are enough beds for everyone and the sleeping quarters in the lower level is fantastic. None of us could get a signal on our cell phones. At first we were bummed, but that turned out to be a positive. It presented the opportunity to really get to know each other minus the intrusive distraction of devices. Over the past ten years we've rented many homes. We'll always go back to Bloomingdale.

We loved the Bloomingdale house on Muskrat Lake!
We came in midweek for a 4 night stay.. What a beautiful property! With the many kids all of our families had, there was plenty of room, and lots to do. The favorite spot outside of the beach and lake had to be either the large screened in deck, or the lighted basketball court. We rented a boat nearby, and did plenty of fishing, swimming, and tubing. The water was wonderful, and the little ones enjoyed playing in the sand by the water. All of the extras, such as video games, water toys, sports equipment, etc. were an added bonus that the youngins definitely took advantage of. Would come back, and would recommend this place for large groups and families. Owner was very easy and nice to work with. Thanks for a great trip!
