Comfortable
Extremely overpriced. The house was nice and large. The linens were all musty, felt like no one had been there for a while. Couch cushions were disgusting and the floors were filthy. The lake for fishing is not a lake as pictured. It’s more of a catchment/pond with an unstable dock. My dog fell from it, into the freezing black water. Not safe and I would not let kids on it after that. Nice deck. Hot tub was nice but the area around it was gross. Very gross. Dirt, mud, mold etc. There was not a place to sit on the patio unless I cleaned for a hour. I AM NOT cleaning a VRBO upon arrival-that I paid 2k for. Cushions scattered everywhere, patio chairs were stacked for storage and unavailable, it was a mess. For the price of 2k- for a day and a half-I’m extremely disappointed. I realize that it was 30° and the weather was not cooperative, but the house was not set up to facilitate any kind of weather. Or guest.

Grand Valley Visit
We had our extended family out to visit our niece at Grand Valley. This home was ideal as it wasn't too far away from GVSU, had plenty of space for adults and teenagers, and the outdoor trails were great for walking our dog.

Homebase for family wedding
We used the house as our home base for children and grandchildren as we came from out of state to celebrate our son's wedding. We had plenty of room to spread out and get good rest between events. The hot tub was a huge plus at the end of our days.

Shower trouble
We all enjoyed our stay at this house! The setting was very peaceful, the accommodations were very comfortable, and, the house met all of our needs. We loved sitting out on the upper deck with our morning coffee, and, loved hanging out around the gas fire pit at night. The property owners were very friendly, and, VERY responsive to any questions or needs we had. The only problem we had was with the handicap accessible shower. Unfortunately, the shower drain didn’t drain well, and, because there is no elevated edge along the shower entrance, water backed up all over the bathroom floor and onto the bedroom carpet. The owners responded to our call for help immediately, and, the drain clog was remedied right away. Unfortunately, for both the owners and for us, the situation created a mess. I would just caution anyone using that shower to pay attention to whether or not the water is indeed flowing into the drain. Because the water was able to flow freely from the shower area into the rest of the bathroom, the fact that the water was not flowing properly down the drain wasn’t picked up on until it was too late. I hope others find their stay to be as pleasant as ours was.
