Very clean and cute home. The kids had a blast on the canoe and kayaks. Grill was a bit outdated so we opted to use the wonderful kitchen instead. Very close to South Haven.

We had 2 families (4 adults & 6 kids) for a long weekend. Everyone loved the house!! Plenty of space, indoors and outdoors, for all to keep occupied. The kids loved the beach and all of the outdoor activities. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we could have asked for. I would definitely recommend the rental to others and would stay with my family again. Great location too!! So much fun so close the house.

Lovely, peaceful retreat!

It is as lovely as it looks in the pictures--spacious and in excellent condition. The lake is beautiful, swimmable even for little kids, and it's an easy drive to Lake Michigan for a daytrip too.

Excellent getaway for large family

It was wonderful to be in a quiet place away from town, yet close enough to visit nearby towns for shopping and the beach. Loved that there was so much to do inside the home with games and toys for children, as well as fire pit and water activities. Nobody was bored for one second! Incredibly relaxing, very kind neighbors.

Perfect family get away

It was another absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Plenty of space for 10 adults and 3 small kids. the property is absolutely beautiful and big enough for all of us to have room and enjoy fishing and hanging out down by the lake. Bonfires at night with lots of smores and wonderful family stories. Communication with Martha and Gaius was timely and very thorough. if you are looking for a perfect family get away this is the place to book.

Relaxing

The house is perfect for a large family, everything you could need was available. The property is nice, the beach could use more sand and cleaned up as far as the landscaping goes, but overall we enjoyed our stay! Our children fished and played in the water all day everyday and had a great time! Will definitely recommend for large groups!

About the host

Hosted by Gaius and Martha Berg

Host profile image
We have used our home as a retreat place for many of our friends for over 20 years so it is well equipped to handle large groups. We live in Chicago, but our good friend, the contractor who built the house, lives nearby and is available to handle any emergencies.

What makes this property unique

Turning into the driveway on our first visit to the property in 1979, a sense of peace settled on us as we drove through the long row of trees. By the time we reached the house and saw the peaceful lake, we knew this was the "retreat house" we had dreamed of for ourselves and our friends from our church. We remodeled the house in 1996, adding the "great room" so the house could accommodate large groups. Over the decades, numerous families have used this for family reunions, and there are countless children who consider this their home away from home.
