Best Experience on VRBO
Bar Down was hands down the best place I’ve had the privilege of staying via VRBO. The house was represented well via pictures and description. The owner was readily accessible if needed and was very helpful throughout our stay. I would highly recommend staying at Bar Down if you are visiting SW Michigan. Only ask is you let me k ow when you plan on booking so I don’t miss out on this property next time I’m in town. 😀

Book Club Weekend
Our book club was looking for a special place to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We wee 8 senior women. The facilities were excellent. Wonderful location. Quick walk to the lake. Hot tub and outdoor fire pit was great. All the beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for celebration. There were games, movies and pool. Already planning our return

Lovely Beach Vacation Home
Communication was excellent from the beginning. The home was outfitted with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing trip to a small beach town. It was extremely easy to pop down the road for food or a walk, and the local public beach access was beautifully kept and a short walk the other way. Our only complaint was cleanliness: the home did not meet our expectations for cleanliness of floors and there were a significant number of ants and spiders who found us to be a nuisance to their typical activities. This is somewhat to be expected, seasonally and in a home that isn't occupied all the time, but it did make the stay a little less enjoyable for us. Overall, it was a good place to spend a few days away from real life.

Greeted by Cardinals
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Such a beautiful home we have already booked for next year. Thank you for the delicious pie and checking in with us during our stay. We were greeted by a male and female Cardinal when we arrived in the sunroom. My niece said it was my parents who used to come to Union Pier with us 😇😇. The outdoor space was wonderful, which is where we spent most of our time. Lots of laughter, good food, and memories made❤️. Until next year……
