Perfect for big groups

We stayed at this home with my children, their spouses, grandchild, and a few of the wedding party, for my son's wedding nearby. The house was perfect for big meals, yard games and plenty of room to spread out for makeup and hair! Wish we had more time to spend there and enjoy all it had to offer!

Perfect for Large Families

We love staying at Gray Haven. This was our second visit and we already have the home reserved for another year. We love having a large kitchen to prepare meals, a dining table that will fit everyone together and all the places we can relax around the house. The host is quick to respond and very friendly. Gray Haven is perfect for large family gatherings!

2024 Cronister Family Vaca

Excellent! Country Estates was very comfortable and accommodated our four families. It was well supplied with what we needed and was very nicely decorated. The kids enjoyed the larger heated pool and we played outdoor games on the patio. Adults enjoyed hanging out at the fire pit in the evenings.

This is a beautiful home and property, inside and out. Large open spaces, yet cozy at the same time. The pool and firepit were enjoyed by all. Close to beach towns, wineries and activities but you really don't need to leave the house to have an amazing vacation. Highly recommended!

Great property for a family!

My only concern is that two of the”bedrooms” were lofts, one of which we could not use due to the ladder access and the ages (70+ and <5) of our family. Otherwise we had a great time. Close to lake Michigan and South Haven- plan to return!

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location, Great Host

Our family of 20 (grandparents, kids, grandkids) loved this house! The house had plenty of space to spread out when we were stuck inside on rainy days. There are so many areas to lounge, play board games, and for the kids to run around. The kitchen is huge! We had 8 adults cooking at once and still had room for more. The house was very clean and well maintained and the host was welcoming. We already booked for next year!

A spot with great indoors and outdoors

This house is a wonderful place for a family trip. Its size and delightfully unusual layout (including its extremely large number of beds and enormous great room) are hard to describe adequately. Also worthy of note is the kitchen, which was equipped with everything even a gourmet chef could dream about. Perhaps the best part, though, is the family-oriented outdoor areas, including a terffic heated swimming pool (which we stayed in for entire afternoons) and deck, a large covered porch, a fire pit with a gargantuan quantity of firewood and a huge grassy play area made for kids and dogs. Even with some rainy weather, we could not have had a better long weekend.

Beautiful property; perfect for large gatherings

Our family of 17 loved our stay at this property. The house has a unique design which allows for additional privacy (and fun!) by its layout. The kids loved the lofts; we all loved sitting on the porch area. The playscape (and really the whole house) is larger than it appears in the photos, as is the pool. The side yard is nicely mowed allowing for yard games and activities. The kitchen is well supplied for cooking. We had several questions in advance of our stay and the owner was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this location!!

Amazing property

We had a family reunion with 19 family members. This property was the perfect place to hand out, swim and explore. The house was large enough that we all had space to move around without feeling crowded and it was decorated very nicely. They even had snacks and a wonderful coffee/bar for us! The host, Eric, was great to work with. We will definitely keep Gray Haven on the list as our first choice for the next family reunion!

Great escape

Gorgeous property! Very quiet, and loved that it was pushed way back from the road. Lots of open yard space, really enjoyed the pool and fire pit. The house was perfect for a large group (esp kids and pets). Loved the ability to gate off certain areas, the loft for kids to sleep in and captain’s quarters! The decor, furnishings, appointments, cooking tools, games and outdoor toys were appreciated. Proximity to the beach was nice but we ended up never leaving! Great visit!

Family Vacation

We chose this location for the close proximity to different beaches and the St. Joe area. A plus for the kids was the Sarret Nature Center which had easy trails for walking and exploring plus the inside building of frogs, turtles, snakes, and bird watching. The pool and firepit were used every day we were at the house and our grandkids loved the open spaces to play yard games. They spent many hours playing hide and seek in the house as well. Owners did an outstanding job providing everything you would need and more !!

Great House for Large groups

This house is outstanding for large groups. The central room for meeting, dining and watching tv, etc is huge and has several places to sit and visit. The bedrooms are great and the number of bathrooms is great as well. The pool was just perfect for our crew with the maximum depth good for our smaller children but deep enough for all to enjoy. The fire pit was great for smores and visiting at night. The playground was great as well. The whole house had enough gates to prevent falls from our children and the outside yard was huge with great privacy. Plenty of toys, seating and overall joy in the whole house. I recommend this house for sure.

Gorgeous!!

We booked this property for our bridal party during our wedding weekend.The house is absolutely gorgeous, clean, and spacious. We had 17 adults total staying there and we had so much room to spread out and enjoy ourselves! We enjoyed a bonfire with everyone sitting outside, chilling on the porch in the evenings, swimming in the pool during the day, and hanging out in the massive kitchen. My parents booked the property next door which was so nice having them right down the driveway. It's super close to the nearby wedding venues and downtown St. Joseph. Highly recommend!

Spectacular Friends Vacation

We had four different families come together for this stay. The kids ranged in ages 5-13, with 8 adults. This property provided something for all the ages. The highlights of our trip were the pool, yard games, large home and fun sleeping quarters! The house was exceptionally well stocked with any and all supplies. The endless firewood was also much appreciated! The host has thought of it all. Thank you for making our stay so easy and enjoyable. We also enjoyed the proximity to the beaches, such a great spot to stay. If you are considering this property, do it, you won’t be disappointed!

50th wedding anniversary

The property was everything we thought it would be and more. We drove up from South Florida for our anniversary. We chose this instead of a big hall party so we could spend some quality time and too make memories with our children, grand kids and couple of the boys girlfriends. Very clean and spacious. Eric was great and readily available. He even went out of his way to bring us a few extension cords for movie night outside by the fire. We HIGHLY recommend this property.
