Bek was so accommodating and responsive during our stay! We were a large group of 16 and the property was abundant in space to house all of us. The house is exactly as pictured.

Loved the place! It was a super spacious area to rent for the weekend, and the host was very accommodating. I love the quick responses when I would communicate with her and how helpful she was. All the decor in the house was really beautiful to look at too. Overall the house and host was unlike any other place I've stayed!

It was tremendous for all 20 of us, in all our age ranges, to be "together" with the variety of sleeping areas throughout both the Barn and River Rock Studio. The outdoor areas were expansive and beautiful. Coordination with our host and hostess was easily and readily accomplished. I cannot give it a high enough rating!!

Bek was an incredibly efficient communicator and helped put me at ease in answering my many questions :)
The property was perfect for our yoga retreat with 18 of us. The yoga studio space was perfect for our classes and the sleeping areas worked wonderfully for our needs.
Plus Bek provided some delicious food that was the star of the retreat. We will definitely return!!

This property is incredible beautiful and has eclectic decor that make for great conversation starters for any group. The host is fantastic and provided everything we needed to do the fire pit on the back porch with the group. We had a group of 15 for a girls weekend and it was perfect because we’re way beyond the age where people want to sleep on the couch! There were plenty of beds, everything was accessible and New Buffalo beach was only 20min away. If we forgot anything there was a Walmart 5min down the road which was very convenient. Everything was clean and comfortable and the host was a great at planning communication for a large group! Would highly recommend for a girls weekend, large families, and reunions.

Dad’s 90th Birthday
The house was beautiful ! The grounds were very pretty and peaceful. The large family areas were perfect for our family. We all congregated around the pool table & played pool every evening which was great fun ! We had plenty of room utilizing both houses. Almost all of the bedrooms in the Barn had twin beds. The description on VRBO said that one of the downstairs bedrooms would have a D/Q bed which we planned for our elderly parents, however there were 2 twins instead, which was a bit disappointing, but we worked it out. We were within an easy drive to the beach, casinos & wineries. Bek was great to work with, very pleasant and patient answering all of my questions. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms (however we assumed that hand towels and washcloths would be included with the towels, otherwise we would have brought our own). We had a lot of fun and my Dad enjoyed a wonderful 90th birthday weekend with all of our family. Thank you for everything !

Wedding was amazing!
Bek and her husband were amazing hosts for us during our wedding! The barn house was absolutely amazing and the studio was gorgeous! We got so many compliments. The T.P/Yurt was a huge hit as well. The Yurt can sleep well over 5 people! The place was very clean. We had approximately 60 people there for the wedding which was the perfect amount for the size of the location. I would recommend this to anyone for a wedding or family reunion or big party! Or just for a great get away for a couple! The decor was amazing and all the intricate details made the place such a unique place to stay! God bless you guys and hopefully we’ll see you again soon!

Amazing Getaway
Bek was an INCREDIBLE host! We wanted to make a fire and she ran out and got us all the supplies we needed. The barn was just as described in the pictures and the kitchen supplied everything we needed. Thank you Bek for being so wonderful and giving us the perfect weekend getaway.

We loved our time staying at Bek's property! I hosted a bachelorette for 14 and it was the perfect space for our party. The property itself is very unique and we loved having the barn and guest house spaces. Communication with Bek and her property manager, Jose, was very easy and they responded quickly and kindly to all of my questions. We are so happy to have spent a good amount of time during our weekend stay at the house itself. We thought the location was great to go to the myriad of Michigan wineries just over the border and make the drive back to Chicago in just over an hour. Overall, would highly recommend this space! Thank you!

Bachelorette party
This property is GORGEOUS! The house is uniquely decorated which creates its charm! I hosted a bachelorette party and the house accommodated for 16 people easily! The host, Bek, was very easily available if needed but gave us our privacy as well. I’d like to note that the time changes on the property so that made it difficult to determine what time it actually was! Otherwise this is a GREAT house to rent and I highly recommend!!

Great for a family get together
The house is beautiful and unique. We appreciated the special touches of hospitality (wine and s’mores!) the owner provided. It was helpful to have wood provided for a campfire. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the loft. They thought it was like a clubhouse.

We will be back!
We were charmed be the superior decor and appliances and sheer extravagance in top quality elements. This is our second stay. This time, weather permitted a better exploration of the place (rained a lot last year), and my grandkids were delighted to see the big tent on the edge of the wood, and the flowers and many trees, a hammock, a cute storage bldg that looks like a old time store, that all make for fun photo ops and a nicely furnished deck with a fire pit for s'mores (which the owners were kind enough to provide the marshmallows etc!) The master suite is up in a loft and it's lovely. However there are a lot of steps, so it might be rough for elderly, toddlers or handicapped. They are pet friendly, which is great of those of us who travel with a pet. If you take a dog out for pee time at night, you might prefer to have a good flashlight, since there are stone steps and the property is sloped. Not good in the dead of night leading a dog around on a leash. Owners are not intrusive. They leave you alone, but live very nearby, if you need them. All in all, a high end vacation home for families or for a 'gal's weekend or such.There is that master in the loft with a king, and two more bedrooms on the first level , one with a double bed and one with twins (with living on the middle level with kitchen) Very very nice!

2nd year here, and even better than last time
My group of 10 friends just spent our second year for our annual get-together here and everything was perfect. The property is in a great location, and very comfortable. Rebekah is an amazing host and made sure everything was taken care of and we had a great experience! We hope to be back for a 3rd year later!

We arrived Christmas Day and Rebekka had a fire going,the house was warm, there was snow on the ground, she even had a Christmas tree and bottle of wine to greet us! It was the perfect way to celebrate with our family. The setting is great and there were plenty of things to do in the area from lunch at the Stray Dog, a trip to the casino and shopping. All in all it was our relaxed vaca with family and friends over good food, games and conversation. Perfect! Great host!

What a terrific location to spend Thanksgiving. Bek was so thoughtful in so many ways from chocolates on the pillows to fresh flowers on table. She even provided us with a turkey roasting pan. The kitchen was fully equipped for making Thanksgiving dinner. The location was convenient for three families to meet.
The barn is decorated beautifully. We all enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend The Barn.

Fantastic house and owner
The house is awesome, very big and well maintained. Bek is fantastic. She is super responsive and helpful leading up to and during the stay. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness is demonstrated by the case of beer and chocolates that welcomed us as we first entered the Barn. I highly recommend this house and owner!

Rustic mixed with Elegance
My husband and I rented the 'Barn' on our visit to the grandkids, who have a place in nearby New Buffalo. We were struck by how artistically the home was decorated. Lovely surroundings. Three bedrooms, including a very nice loft Master. The main living area was on the second level, with 2 smaller, but nice bedrooms on the first, entry level, floor, with a bathroom on that floor also. Up the flight of steps is the main living area, the kitchen, a pool table, plus the upper level bathroom. Both baths have showers. Decor, as I said is rustic, artistic and some of it must be one of a kind. The steps up to the master might be a little scary if you have toddlers. However our 5 year old grandson scampered right up to the loft and onto the ladder that leads to a little cupola which has a nice seating area and a lovely view. But it was a bit warm for August. The deck is equipped with a nice seating area, a grill and a fire pit, which we used for our 'traditional' S'mores dessert with the grandkids. We were pleased that we were allowed to bring our 2 small dogs. The place is on a quiet street with enough lawn to easily walk the dogs. There was a hammock, but with the rainy week we spent, we didn't have much time to use it. Inside, the sofas were nice for TV watching after the grandkids went home to bed. Too, being a coffee freak, I enjoyed the French Press every morning for great coffee. We also had our 'traditional' spaghetti dinner, and there were plenty of pots and pans for that, and a nice big bowl for our salad. All in all, a comfortable place with everything we needed and very elegant surroundings to please the eye. I would highly recommend the place, but as I said, I'd be careful of little ones who might try to climb the stairs to the loft. That might be bad for a 1, 2 or 3 year old since on the landing there is no railing on one side. Otherwise, older kids, and especially adults, would find the place a tranquil, romantic getaway.

The barn is very well done with tons of character and charm. We stayed for 3 nights and all the Dunes parks were within 30 minutes. The owner was very sweet and accommodating as we arrived to a gift package that had things for the kids and champagne for us. She gave us some helpful tips on things to do and places to eat and our trip was awesome! We will definitely stay again!
