Outdoor chairs are available for use on the deck and the bon-fire area. The house is surrounded by woods with many walking paths, an abundance of wildlife such as deer, swans, ducks and many other birds.

In town for a wedding with our adult children. Home was truly a pleasant surprise, exceeded expectations with many nice touches. Extremely clean, very well equipped kitchen. The back deck was a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee, we wish we’d had more time to explore the property. Very good value for a group!

Wonderful Home for a Winter Getaway

We had a wonderful two day ski vacation with our family. Bittersweet is just down the road, the property was clean, well-stocked, and when we had a few questions, the owners were quick to respond. Hoping to head back next winter.

Heaven! If this is available book it!

If you're looking for a retreat, this is the place to go!! The house is absolutely beautiful and private, set right on a large pond. They have kayaks, a canoe, a hot tub, and even have a volleyball court, which we definitely took advantage of. The house is large and spotless and has very welcoming decor. Melissa is extremely sweet and responds fast. I can't say enough great things about this place. My group was in heaven. It was very sad to leave. I want to retire here!

A Beautiful Property

We were 5 adults and 3 children (ages 2, 3, and 4) staying at this property and we were very happy with our stay. The house is beautiful, clean, well-decorated and very well-equipped. The owners have really gone above and beyond when it comes to providing everything you need - we really didn't have to bring anything with us! The property is right on the river and the hot tub sits on the patio with a great view. It is quiet, safe, and comfortable. More than enough space for the 8 of us! The owners were responsive if we had any questions or issues. I highly recommend this property and we hope to return to it again soon.

Conveniently located near Ski resort!

We visited over winter break for a last minute ski trip at Bittersweet. We were lucky to find good snow and be able to squeeze the ski trip in but, couldn’t have been luckier to find a nice house that is clean, comfortable, and located incredibly close to the ski resort! 3 minute drive, we’ll take it! The hosts provide plenty of household amenities and then some. Kitchen fully stocked with cookware, utensils, etc, bath towels, beach towels, linens. The ONLY thing I did not like was that I was informed after my booking was confirmed that we had to wash,dry, fold and put away all towels, wash sheets and start them in the dryer before checkout. For the first time ever, our group (with kids) was able to keep up so we weren’t scrambling to be out by 11am. I will say, if we were not seasoned in traveling/ staying in vacation homes with multiple families, this checkout procedure would have been extremely stressful for us. It wasn’t too bad since we were mindful of what we used and stayed on top of it, though. Back to the good stuff… We took advantage of the trails and did a little snowy night adventure with the kids. We had flashlights but couldn’t really find anything on the scavenger hunt list because it was dark and snow covered but still enjoyed the stroll and spotting wildlife tracks in the snow! The hot tub was a treat after our chilly outdoor activities.I bet summer is a lot of fun here too! Lots of outdoor fun and games provided as well. We will definitely be back!

This home worked our beautifully for our family in town for a wedding. Everything was as described in the listing and the owner was quick to assist with a very minor issue we experienced. Coffee maker was SUPER slow and getting all the towels washed and dried before the 11:00 check out time is a bit of a lift for a large group. Overall a very nice property and we would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Enchanted Chalet

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Enchanted Chalet. The house and property are truly beautiful and unique. Plenty of room for five of us. Well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the hot tub, the walking trails, the canoe and kayaks. Caught some fish. Saw lots of wildlife. Enjoyed the fire pit and made S’mores. Great restaurants nearby. Highly recommend.

Relaxing stay.

We booked this due to a family get together in Kalamazoo. The house is stocked with basic needs, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo and conditioner. We really enjoyed the kayaks. The pond/lake is not appropriate for swimming, but this is stated in the listing. We enjoyed the wildlife on the pond and the grands had a ball seeing chipmunks and various bird species. Beds were very comfortable. Only draw back that was not expected is that we were expected to wash all sheets and towels. We were told it was ok to leave them in the dryer, but this was a lot of work and we got out of the house later than we wanted. Overall though, wonderful stay.

Peaceful Business

We stayed at this property as part of a business trip. The house is in a very peaceful location to j wind at the end of a busy day. Our only complaint was the wifi, which was spotty. In communication with the property owner the issue was most likely the storm system that went through.Thank you for your hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Rough

Host profile image
We are Greg & Melissa Rough. We live in Michigan. Greg has his own business and I work at a school. We met in 2010 and soon realized we were meant to spend our lives together. In 2012, we married and merged our beautiful family together. We love to have fun and spend time with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the this home the moment we roamed the property. There were more than 30 swans on the lake. We were surprised by the many paths going through the woods and the stone edging along the trails by the lake. I love to play volleyball and they had an area designated specifically for volleyball.

What makes this property unique

We are one mile away from Bittersweet Ski Resort and 10 minutes away from Timber Ridge Ski Resort. Kalamazoo is less than 20 minutes away. Our favorite winery is Fenn Valley and it is about 20 minutes away.
