This was the perfect place for a big group getaway to Western Michigan. It’s conveniently located to stores, restaurants, South Haven, and other sought after lakeshore destinations. The price for the property size and its amenities is unbeatable. The host is generous, responsive, and thorough in communications.

Stayed here for a week while attending an event at Lake Arvesta. There were eight of us in the house, and we could've comfortably fit twice that. This is the best-stocked rental property kitchen I've ever seen, and there was plenty of space for us to just hang out either with other people or by ourselves. If I attend events at Lake Arvesta in the future, I will absolutely rent this property again in a heartbeat.

Property was great and house was clean. Tons of space and beds to accomodate our large group, and we loved all the amenities on the property. Very close to south haven and right next door to beeches golf course.

Great retreat destination

We had 11 guys stay for a men's ministry retreat, and it was great. A short 15 minute drive to Lake Michigan was great for sunsets and beach time, and the house itself provided all the other entertainment we needed. We loved the ping pong table, pickleball court, and long hours out at the fire pit. The inside is an open layout and can easily fit a large group. The area is nice and quiet and you feel like you are off on your own.

Secluded but still close to the action

50th birthday party all girls and it was the perfect spot! We loved that it was private but within a five minute drive of downtown shops, the beaches, and food choices. The amenities at this place are great. We really enjoyed the fire pit and deck. Inside we had a ping pong tournament that brought lots of laughs and played games in the spacious dining area. We had 12 guests and it could have slept nearly 20. Very spacious place! Only suggestions would be to update with painting and furnishings and decor. This would be a very cute “cottage” themed place but as of now it looks like grandma’s outdated space. The bathroom and kitchen are updated which look great. We didn’t get a chance to use the pickle ball court which we would have if we had more time as it looked really nice! Wish the pool was still there tho. I would recommend this place again and again. The price was definitely right! The hosts communicated very well!
