Great for Weekend Wine Tasti ng

I have stayed here previously, and it is a great spot for a large group. The four bedrooms allow for privacy for multiple couples. The large dinning room gives plenty of space for eating and playing board games. The locations is a great spot with wineries all around.

This is such a unique spot in a perfect location for Lake Michigan Shore wine tasting! We loved being walkable to Baroda - such a rare amenity! Mike was amazing and speedy with communication before and during our stay. The only downside of this property is it doesn’t have a dishwasher, but no big deal as long as you plan for it!

The inside of the house is absolutely amazing! The fire pit was so much fun. They thought of everything for your stay. The outside of the property does not match the beautifulness of the inside, however, there are secret hidden treasures of the property, such as the fire pit where you can enjoy some smores and and amazing fire, or the front porch, where you can enjoy your morning coffee in the peacefulness of the neighborhood which is simply beautiful. From the moment you walk in its like a warm hug, it feels like home. Would definitely stay here again.

The house is absolutely beautiful and very well kept. Every room is spotless. The owners add thoughtful touches such as brochures with things to do in town, board games, wine, and s'mores supplies. The location is also fantastic, as you are close to endless wineries and the beach. This was our second year in a row staying here, and we are planning many more. Thank you Mike & Mary for a fantastic stay!

We stayed at the House on Hills for my sister's party. Mike and Mary made it so special by personalizing the house with decorations! It was a really kind surprise. We also appreciated the prompt response to one question about where to find a hair dryer. Overall, a great experience!

Perfect bach weekend!!

I stayed here with some friends for a weekend of fun and wine! The house is b e a u t i f u l!! Photos don’t do justice. It’s just walking distance to the cute downtown area which was a nice perk!! The coffee shop in town is to die for. We were also gifted wine and a s’mores kit from the host here!! Such a nice gesture. Thank you!!

Old charm

We loved everything about House on Hills. From the logo throughout the house to the little extra toiletries and the signs with quotes. We loved it! So clean, fully stocked, and loved how we could walk to town. A few of us had to leave a day early for a family emergency but we for sure want to come back and explore the area more

Birthday celebration!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Perfect location for all the local wineries. We had breakfast at Local which was amazing and right across the road and Round barn brewery is right in the back yard with great food also. The house was adorable, clean, and Mike and Mary even put up cute little decorations for my 40th Birthday celebration. We will definitely come back.

Wedding trip

We recently stayed at the House on Hills Street as a party of 10. We were in the area for my son's wedding at Hidden Vineyard Wedding Barn which was only about 15-17 minutes away. The house is beautiful, a restored Craftsman Style home. Everyone had comfortable sleeping accomodations, and with two bathrooms available we were able to get ready in a timely manner. We loved the fire pit. It made the evening before the wedding very fun and reminiscent of the camping trips we used to take when my kids were younger. We really enjoyed our stay at the house on Hills Rd and I would recommend renting it for your next trip with a large group. The hosts made it very special by leaving a small wedding gift for my son and and new daughter..Thank you Mike and Mary.

House On the Hill has Charm

This home has a special charm to it. Beautiful stained glass, vintage sinks and doors, plus all the added decor really makes the home have character. The owners do an amazing job to assure you have what you need. Beds are comfortable and the location is perfect for walking to downtown Baroda or a quick drive to apple picking and vineyards. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home and wonderful owners!

We enjoyed a girls birthday getaway weekend in this beautiful home! The home had great character, was clean, and had many special touches throughout the home to make our group feel welcome and comfortable. But the true highlight were the owners of this home. When a question arose, they were very quick to respond, have the question addressed promptly, and were incredibly kind and gracious. They went above and beyond to make sure we were ok. Highly recommend this beautiful home to explore a great part of Michigan!

Lots of love has gone into this house…

From the decor to all the amenities, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house! It’s in walking distance to several of the wine tasting rooms! We had the best cauliflower crust pizza I have ever had at the Red Barn Public House! Mike and Mary were amazing hosts and the house was immaculate! We really enjoyed our girl’s weekend and hope to be back soon!

Why they chose this property

We have visited Baroda for the past 10 years. Coming up to wineries regularly and becoming wine members to some of our favorites (Round Barn and St. Julian) we quickly fell in love with area and the memories we have made over the years. When an opportunity came up for us to spend even more time in the area we love, we had to jump on it.
The reason for hosting on VRBO is to let others experience what we did so many years ago, in a safe and gorgeous historic home.
