This home was a perfect stay for our family including our adult children and one tiny granddaughter. The kitchen is well equipped, a big beautiful deck, a peaceful lake with kayaks to use and more. The location was an easy drive to Lake Michigan, sand dunes and farmers markets. We rented bikes in Hart to ride the nearby beautiful Hart Montague trail. We highly recommend this little piece of paradise.

We had a great stay at the lake house. The lake was clean, quiet, and perfect for relaxing. The fishing boat was a great addition and worked perfectly for fishing.The house was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed.The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that, for the price, the house could use some updating. The living room furniture was uncomfortable, with a leather couch that had worn, sagging cushions. The TVs also weren’t smart TVs or connected to streaming services, which made it harder to keep the kids entertained. There was a DVD player and a huge selection of DVDs, which was appreciated.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would come back.

Thank you for the review. We are working on getting new TVs before the start of next season. We are a very remote location and we were just able to get WiFi last year. I hope next year we will have more updates. This year we added a new tub shower in the master along with a king bed. We will continue to do updates and I hope you return. Thanks again for visiting Pleasant Valley Farm and Vineyard.

Beautiful location!

We had 6 adults and two teens and everyone had a great time! The beach was sandy, there were enough water toys for everyone, and the lower patio was a perfect spot to lounge the day away! Our host was friendly and there to answer any questions we had. The property being located on a vineyard/ winery was a beautiful bonus. There was plenty of room for our group, and we would definitely come back again! Thanks for a great week!

We had a delightful time at this lovely spot. The house is very roomy with a large deck for enjoying the outdoors and dining. The lake is quiet and serene. We enjoyed kayaking, and making s’mores in the evening. This was our second trip here. Hope to return again sometime.

We had an absolutely amazing week in this cozy home nessled on Crystal Lake. We had 3 of our nieces children ages 8, 10 and 12. Between fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming, there was never a dull moment. The kids also spend time at the Silver Lake Sand dunes, Mac Woods Dune rides and Craigs Cruisers. Another fun day was spent at Lewis Petting Farm. Theresa, the owner of the property was very friendly and accommodating. The home was well stocked with cooking supplies, towels etc. This was definitely a fun week to remember.

Its a beautiful area with lots to do. We had many different ages in our group and was able to find something for everyone. Theresa met us at the house upon arrival and was a great host.

Fabulous property perfect for family holidays!!

If you are looking for a getaway with a terriffic water view, with all the amenities you can think of, near to all the cool things to do but which still offers the atmosphere of a private oasis when you are done with your wanderings for the day, this house is for you!!! We kayaked and fished (caught 6!) and cooked healthy meals in a well equipped kitchen. We hopped over to the dunes and parks and surrounding towns and reveled in the country side. When we got home in the afternoons on days we wandered, we were grateful for our good fortune in finding this place.. you could never wander any where and be content too!!

Life Long Memories Made

We can't say enough nice things about the property or the host. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to others. We didn't use a lot of the amenities for we just needed a place to sleep and cook a couple of meals. Like others have said, AC throughout the house would have been welcomed for the breeze was nonexistent for our stay but the host did everything to ensure we were comfortable. We had family staying at another house around the beautiful lake and we spent the majority of our time with them but renting the house saved us an 60 min drive ea night. Wouldn't hesitate renting from again.

Amazing in Michigan

First off, the property is amazing. The house is clean and quite large. The views from the house and the deck are fabulous. Although, the patio down by the lake is where you'll spend all your time, whether on the chairs relaxing, using the available kayaks and paddle board or just sitting by a fire looking at millions of stars. All the amenities you could ever want are there. Theresa, owner/property manager, is a fantastic host and is always willing to talk about the property and its history. She is very proud of her family's property, as she should be. The winery on property is a huge bonus. The wine is great, the staff is friendly and live music on the weekends. We stayed for a week, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. It is conveniently located less than 10min from Shelby, Hart and Silver Lake. Huge thanks to Theresa and her family

Quiet and peaceful getaway

We were very pleased with our week long stay here. We had two couples and my mom and there was more than plenty of room. The upper bedrooms were spacious and loved the big walk in closets. The lower room with multiple beds had a nice bathroom. The linens and towels were all nice and there were PLENTY for everyone. While the cottage doesn’t have AC (very common for the area) the house was never uncomfortably hot and the host provided plenty of fans to use and there are also ceiling fans. The deck has a lovely view of the lake and plenty of outdoor dining space, as well as very comfy loungers and a nice propane grill. The lake itself is clear and very pleasant to swim in. It’s not a very busy lake at all.. making it great for fishing and very serene. The husbands made great use of the provided fishing boat, which was a huge bonus. We also enjoyed having kayaks, a paddle board, and a floating dock/pad to lay out on. And it was nice to have lounge chairs down by the water as well as a fire pit to enjoy in the evening (with provided firewood!). Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised that the house is on a beautiful vineyard! It was very convenient to walk up to, the property is gorgeous and there was a wide variety of delicious wine! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and felt the place was very comfortable and spacious. We would definitely rent here again!

The property was as advertised. Very peaceful and private and the lake was really nice also. Sandy bottom with gradual slope out to deeper water, which the grandkids enjoyed. We also made use of the included kayaks, paddleboard and the 2-man fishing boat. The boat only has a battery powered electric trolling motor and the battery is provided. The house had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The owner lives right next door and was very responsive to any questions we had. There is also a winery on the property and it was fun to be able to walk over to the tasting room. The owner has a couple of large very friendly dogs that like to wander over for some attention and we enjoyed that.A few suggestions for some minor improvements that could be made. Label the kitchen cabinets/drawers so that you don't have to search through them every time to find things. Replace the TV's with Smart TV's so that people staying there can setup streaming to their own Netflix, Prime, etc accounts. The basic DirectTV package was pretty worthless in our opinion. Replace the burned out bulbs in the recessed lighting. Change the shower curtain setup in the master bath, there was barely enough room to turn around without the curtains sticking to you.Overall, it was a fun place to stay and we would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for visiting and your suggestions. We do have a Roku available and I’m sorry I did not let you know about it. We just were able last year to get Internet. Being so remote, it was not available. We will be replacing the shower this off season. Last offseason we added the air conditioning. Thank you again for visiting and I hope to see you next summer! Also thanks for leaving the home in great shape.

We had an enjoyable week playing in the lake, biking on the bike trail and exploring Silver Lake State Park. The house was very clean and the kitchen was one of the best we’ve ever had in terms of quantity of dishes and quality of cooking pans. It was nice to have a dining table big enough for all of us to sit around. Would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay! Large home with room for our party of 10. Boys enjoyed fishing off the dock and in the small motor boat. Kayaks were a hit with them as well. Able to use the floating pad to soak in the sun. Close to Silver Lake, Ludington, and Pentwater for day activities, plus close to the bike trail. Kitchen was really nice! Showers had great pressure and no hot water issues for our large group Full size washer/dryer. This was a great vacation home!

Summer getaway

We really enjoyed our summer getaway staying at this home on Crystal Lake in Hart. It was very clean and comfortable, with nice furnishings and a well-stocked kitchen. We found it very relaxing, as it is in a quiet rural area on a small lake without a lot of motorboats or other watercraft. The view from the deck overlooking the lake was pretty, and a good place to have morning coffee and dinner meals. The location is convenient to Ludington and the Silver Lake sand dunes and lighthouse. We also enjoyed the fish boil in Shelby. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Family Vacation

Lots of space! We had our 2 adult children, spouses and 4 grandchildren. The weather was not so nice for a bit of the time but there was enough space that it wasn't a problem. There was a new swim platform that worked out great for our young grandchildren and they loved the shallow water at the shoreline.
