Great space for 4 families

We enjoyed our stay at this place. The host was very communicative and informative. The only thing we would have loved was the weather to be warmer so we could have enjoyed the amazing deck space more.

The house and amenities are exactly as described. It is beautiful! Great place to relax with a large family or cohort of friends. Plenty of space to spread out and gather together. It was clean and comfortable. Lots of options for bedrooms and beds. Decks and Landscaping are beautiful. We did not have the opportunity to enjoy the pool (we were too busy), but it was clean and well kept. Communication with the hosts was easy and seamless. Super Nice Place! Next time we are in the area, we will stay here again!

Great property for our annual family reunion. Our grandkids really enjoyed the pool! I also was able to bring a pontoon boat and keep it at the dock. Lake Chapin was quiet , good for cruises and tubing. The large driveway was a plus as it could accommodate my boat trailer and vehicle without having to unhook. Having two dryers was also a plus as we had our own beach towels to manage on a daily basis. The location is somewhat distant from the local towns for quick runs to a store or restaurant but overall a really great place. The host Mike was very good with info and local guidance. Would stay here again!

Great Place to Relax

Had a great stay with my kids and grandkids. They absolutely loved the pool and managed to catch a few fish off the pier. The house was big enough that we could spread out but still remain close. Definitely a good choice.

Excellent Stay

The house is beautiful and with 3 levels ample space for everyone. The kids had a blast playing air hockey and table tennis. We enjoyed our morning coffee with the awesome views from the family room. The lake is beautiful. we were celebrating our daughters 11th Bday and we all enjoyed and made memories. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Simply Amazing

My friends and I had a little girls weekend away and loved every minute. Plenty of space, beautiful views (even in the rain!), quiet neighborhood, and simply a gorgeous house. It was everything we needed. Close enough to wineries and breweries too. I would love to come back for a stay in the Summer time to enjoy the pool area and lake! Great hosts :) Thank you!

House with great views

Great place for family vacation. We brought our fishing boat with us the dock was very nice but only caught one fish 😢. The only concern was there was not a shower in the main floor for older parents I can’t do stairs. But all in all we had a wonderful time it was a beautiful house

Relaxing Memorial Day

This way the perfect spot for our group of families to hang out for the long weekend. We enjoyed paddling in the lake with paddle boards and kayaks that we brought. The dock is a great launching point. We caught fish (and released) from the dock and from kayaks. We had a fire every night and made S’mores at the fire pit. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for our large group to spread out and also to come together. The kitchen Ida very well stocked! The owner was easy to be in contact with and was very accommodating and hospitable. We would definitely stay again.

Pool paradise by the lake!

I believe my kids swam in the pool on average 7 hours a day! Honestly my only regret was we should have stayed an extra day. Plenty of space for a small family reunion. I set up a cookout tent near the pool entrance which saved me lots of trips up the stairs. My only complaint would be the amount of stairs might be to much for grandparents or people with mobility issues. Nothing can be done about that just pack up and make a few trips like I did. The decks are spacious and we loved the lakeside fireplace for smores. The giant TV and huge couch fit the entire family for a movie night. All in all was a great stay and would 100% come back if the opportunity presented itself in the future.

This rental was perfect for our girls trip! The house has a great layout with multiple areas that work well for hanging out, playing games, and catching up. Our only suggestion would be more hooks in the bathrooms to hang clothes etc. The location worked well - it was an easy drive to St Joseph and New Buffalo. Thank you for a pleasant experience!

The home was wonderful & the pool, kitchen, firepit and game room amenities was outstanding. The double deck really set if off. We checked out KJC Atv rental, renting quads which added more fun to our stay. The host even left a welcome card which I thought was so thoughtful & nice.

Beautiful stay

Thank you for the wonderful stay! We loved the house. It was great having all the space we needed for our large family party. We loved all the fun games in the basement, and even had a great day in the pool when it was sunny! Fishing off the dock was a trip highlight. My only caveat is that the lake is more like a larger river. Some of my family members wanted to go swimming but it wasn’t really conducive to that. But it would be a great spot for a kayak or small fishing boat! Thank you again to our incredible hosts.

Weekend away

Had a wonderful time.the house is lovely and in a great location. We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking and socializing easy. We didn't have the best weather so the fact that we could enjoy each others company indoors, play games etc without feeling overly crowded was a plus. Neighbor was quiet.
