We love this place so much we had to come back! The location of the two lakes is a dream come true and Ed is so accommodating and responsive. But most of all, we love the cleanliness of the property. Everything in the house is spotless and inviting. Thank you again, Ed, for another memorable family weekend. We hope to be back again!

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I vacationed along the MI coast on our honeymoon. So for our 20 year anniversary we chose a long weekend to stay and revisit many of same places and discover some new ones. The neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten path. The manager was very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. The location was convenient for explorations of Muskegon, St. Joseph, South Haven, Grand Haven and Grand Rapids. We had a great trip and would stay here again in the future.
