Great spot for kids and families

We really enjoyed all the space and activities available. The pool, hot tub, sports court and game basement had something for everyone. It was an easy drive to South Beach in South Haven. Also very close to the new water park in South Haven.

Wonderful Stay!

We were looking for a home to accommodate us, our daughter and son in law and four grandchildren. This home certainly delivered! Plenty of space for us all to get together or have quiet time away. Dining table fit us all for family dinners, roomy kitchen, three bathrooms and plenty of beds. So many activities we didn’t have to leave the house to find things to do! Pool was wonderful, kitchen well stocked, comfortable furniture…. And super CLEAN!!!!!!

Private summer getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the farm! Loads of things to do like basketball, pickle ball, and yard games plus the pool, hot tub, and fire pit. Our family and another family plus the kids all had a blast. We took advantage of the proximity to the beaches in south haven as well. Owners were very attentive. Would for sure stay again.

Summer Vacation

Wonderful home, pool and location on a quiet farm only 10 minutes from South Haven and the beach. Plenty of room for the 5 adults and 3 kids between 3 and 8. Craig and Leslie were super communicators and a pleasure to meet. It's a keeper for future vacations.

Repeat guests

We've been there every year for several years because it's such a great place to hang out with friends and is close to the beach, good places to eat and pick fruit, and several towns up and down the lake.

Country Estate Living

Tranquil living - private play ground with all the attractions required for the best family vacation. Should have booked 2 weeks because the first one floated right on by. The pool, Hot Tub were perfect, and the sports court is one of a kind. Craig and Leslie are wonderful and take very good care of their property and treat the guests like family. Location to South Haven or shopping for the great dinners you can cook up in a open kitchen or grill out side. Plenty of room for everyone and a great patio to relax each morning and enjoy your coffee. Thanks again for sharing Craig & Leslie, we had a wonderful time

Great getaway with plenty to keep you busy!

Extremely clean and well equipped property. Owners go above and beyond to communicate and ensure you are comfortable. Pool, hot tub, basketball/tennis court, games in basement. Peaceful location so you can truly relax and get away from it all. Close enough to beach, groceries, etc. Had an amazing time. 10 outta 10 would return!

Great family getaway location

This place has everything for a great family getaway. We swam a lot every day and made good use of the sport court, especially playing pickleball. We even used the open air garage for the few hours of rain we experienced. it's a nice place, taken care of well.

Family vacation time

This was our 2nd family vacation at this property. It's a perfect home to relax for a week and spend quality time together. Home is big enough that you can spread out and have quiet time or gather together to play cards or watch a movie. The pool is great, sport court was awesome, we used the fire pit for s'mores, used the large grill for easy dinners, lovely location away from crowds, but close enough to South Haven to enjoy the downtown area and walk along the beach. Hosts/owners are super nice and helpful and always ready to make your vacation time as great as possible. We will definitely keep this on our list for future vacations! Highly recommend if you want a quiet get-away, and lots of amenities, with family and friends!

Another Trip to Paradise!

This was our second year staying at this beautiful, relaxing, stunning property. It was even better this year because we had high expectations and our trip exceeded those expectations. From the wonderful pool, basketball court to plenty of room to relax inside and out this is the absolute perfect spot if you like your privacy and love to have fun in the sun! The hosts are outstanding and even better people! Highly recommend this property for your ideal getaway!!

Great experience again

The house is close to South Haven, the Amtrak station in Bangor, and lots of farms, including upick blueberries, peaches, apples, pumpkins, and flowers that are great for families. Craig and Leslie take care of it better than any rental house we've been to, and the kids love the heated pool, hot tub, sport court, swings, yard, fire pit, garage and basement hangout spaces, and toys in the living room.

Family vaca 2022

Each summer my adult children come together from all across the country to spend a week with me. Last year we chose Michigan and our stay was magical. Perfect for us out in the country and quiet but with everything we needed to have a great time. Thinking about returning next year if this property is a available!!!

Rural Oasis

We've come here for a few years because the house, pool, sport court, and yard are big, beautiful, and a very welcome escape from Chicago. It's also in a quiet rural area and close to beaches, blueberry and apple picking, and both South Haven and Kalamazoo.

Resort Feel in Paradise

This was by far the best place my group of friends have been to in our 20 years of annual trips! The property owners were amazing and very helpful to start our trip off and continued to be awesome throughout our trip! The house and the surrounding property is gorgeous, relaxing, breathtaking, spacious and a dream to call ours for a week 😂 The pool (hoops in the pool) and hot tub were worth the price of admission alone!! The attention to detail is second to none and I marveled at how well maintained and cared for the property was. This property is best in class and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to relax, have fun and make memories. We will be back!! Thanks for everything L&C!

Pandemic splurge

Away from the crowds of South Haven but close enough to take advantage of what it has to offer. For our pandemic vacation this was exactly what we needed. The sports court was like renting your own park, the pool was fun to stay all day or mix it up with part beach and part pool. My kids loved the pop a shot & ping pong/pool table in the basement. Country quietness but easy to get to town for ice cream and grocery shopping.

The house and property have a lot of space and amenities, and are close to u-pick farms, farm markets, beaches, and South Haven. The owners are very welcoming and responsive, and had great advice on things to do in the area. Great place for kids and big groups. It was our second time staying here and we'll go back.
