About this property

Almost 5,000 square feet in the house and 2 acres of woods and a private pool for relaxing outside. Spacious layout and lots of living space on main level. Great for entertaining larger families. You will not be disappointed.
Lots of room outside to enjoy. Large heated pool with diving board. Pool is 12 feet deep and has a wide stairs in the shallow end for little kids to play on. Pool is always heated to 82 degrees. There are outdoor games and a Weber gas grill located in the garage. Kitchen is very spacious for a large group, it has a Keurig and a regular coffee maker. No need to worry about putting trash bins out, there is a trash dumpster on site that gets emptied every Monday.
Great hiking trails just a 5 minute walk down the road and the beach is a 10-15 minute walk.

* There is no longer a pool slide due to complications. The diving board is still there.

August 2023 Three Generation trip

What a wonderful week we had with our kids and grandkids (7 adults and 7 kids). The pool was the highlight for the kids, wide steps to play on and the diving board became a goal for them. The bunkroom was perfect for them to all sleep together. Plenty of space to spread out when we were all inside. We loved the large kitchen w/barstools at the counter and the large dining room. There was plenty of storage space for our things. VERY clean!! There are a lot of little touches to make this feel like home, a great place to stay! We also had fun blueberry picking and lake Michigan was not far to go for the afternoon. Thank you Jamie for sharing your home

Great family vacation

We enjoyed our time at this lovely home. The kids really enjoyed the pool. The pool was perfect because it had a shallow end with very gradual wide steps leading into the deeper end. The only problem we ran into was the house felt cold due to the home owners wishes to keep the thermostat from being touched or changed. But otherwise it was great. Plenty of space for our group of twelve to settle in.

Lovely Home in the Woods

We had a nice stay at this house in the woods. The pool really made everyone’s day all week long! The house was nice but had a couple quirky maintenance things that could be fixed- I will send the owner a note on these because they are minor and could be easily fixed. Also a word of caution for those with littles: the doors didn’t have a pool alarm so we were constantly nervous/watching the 3 year olds. Otherwise it was really great. Adding the layout of the bedrooms to the listing would be helpful for anyone with multiple small families figuring out how to arrange the sleeping. There were 4 bedrooms on the second floor, one small bedroom on the main level and one bedroom in the basement. The bedrooms were comfortable and we had 14 people who had a great time for the week! It’s about 10 min from Holland so close enough for activities. We picked blueberries nearby, went to a dune buggy ride about an hour north and visited Holland and Saugatuck while we were there. The house was also much more well-stocked with the basics than we expected (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry soap, etc.) We had brought our own but wouldn’t have needed to had we known. So nice little touches like that we’re great!

Our family gathering

We had a wonderful time at this house. Everyone enjoyed the pool and yard space. We also appreciated the closeness to the beach, parks, town, and walking/hiking/running trails.
