The basement offers a secondary master bedroom w/ a full bathroom and a recreation room. The recreation room includes a pool table, Simpsons Arcade Game for 4 players, a couch, and a TV. Both the basement master bedroom and rec room have doors that lead out to the lower deck and pool.

Among the many tourist attractions in southwestern Michigan, this property is located within a 20-30 minute driving distance to over a dozen of Michigan's best wineries open year round. Guests can explore the various wineries, sign up for a local wine tour, or hire a local driver service to take you to the wineries you want to go.

This rental was perfect for our girls trip! The house has a great layout with multiple areas that work well for hanging out, playing games, and catching up. Our only suggestion would be more hooks in the bathrooms to hang clothes etc. The location worked well - it was an easy drive to St Joseph and New Buffalo. Thank you for a pleasant experience!

The house and amenities are exactly as described. It is beautiful! Great place to relax with a large family or cohort of friends. Plenty of space to spread out and gather together. It was clean and comfortable. Lots of options for bedrooms and beds. Decks and Landscaping are beautiful. We did not have the opportunity to enjoy the pool (we were too busy), but it was clean and well kept. Communication with the hosts was easy and seamless. Super Nice Place! Next time we are in the area, we will stay here again!

Weekend away

Had a wonderful time.the house is lovely and in a great location. We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking and socializing easy. We didn't have the best weather so the fact that we could enjoy each others company indoors, play games etc without feeling overly crowded was a plus. Neighbor was quiet.

Light out in lower basement bathroom over sink, drawers in dresser not working well otherwise room was comfortable with ample storage. Need to update instruction book since trash was to be taken out on Wednesday not Thursday as listed. Steps to pool area are dangerous for elderly. Otherwise enjoyable 4 day stay. Thanks

Great Place to Relax

Great house with pool

We went with three families and there was plenty of room for everyone. The pool was clean and in great condition. Everything we needed was there! We especially appreciated the roll out bed because the master bedroom was very large but just one bed. Silver beach is a 30 minute drive and a great location!

Lovely Lake House with Pool

My siblings take a yearly vacation together in order to stay close & in touch. We loved the updated home & it’s convenient location on the lake near our Chicago home. We loved sitting out on the deck to enjoy the lake view in a quiet neighborhood. The owner gave us great info prior to our arrival about the house & nearby attractions.
