Forget this one
This is a tired, old farm house that should have been torn down fifty years ago. The pictures and descriptions didn’t come close to accurately describing this place. We paid for three nights but went to a hotel after one night. If we had more time we wouldn’t have stayed even one night.

Great for a group of gals
Eight of is stayed at this property for a long bachelorette weekend, and it was lovely. Great location if you want a bit of the beach and the city, which are both about 30 min away. The house looks just like the listing but with a beautiful garden in the summertime. One day it was raining, so we stayed in and got cozy watching movies and playing games, which I thought the house was perfect for. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Place For Families
The property is beautiful with a ton of historic charm. Lots of space for large groups to spread out and relatively close to a lot of major towns you would like to visit. A great jumping off point for day trips! Highly recommend to others. I’m sure we will be back to visit again in a few years.

Family wedding
We were impressed with our stay. The house was clean and so functional for our large group. The bathrooms were big, the kitchen was great to prepare a meal in. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and walking around the property, having a bonfire in the evening. It’s a beautiful setting, relaxing. We enjoyed coffee on the deck listening to the birds. The windows in kitchen allow for more bird watching. The only thing I would mention is to put different pictures on the site, the pictures they post does not do the house justice. It’s a beautiful house with a lot of character and updates. The landscaping and flowers are amazing around the property. We plan on staying again.

Nice place for family
Hosted the whole family there - 6 adults, 3 little kids. Nice kitchen for cooking, nice baths. Nice, comfortable mix of old and new. Stairs to bedrooms are steep and without hand rail, so need to be careful and may not be suitable for kids and old folks.

Girls Weekend Getaway
We were a group of 7 that were here for a bachelorette party. This house was perfect for us. Everyone was blown away with how wonderful the house was. Everything was just as described and we had so much fun here. We went back and forth over the weekend to Grand Rapids, but had so much fun at the house just talking, drinking wine, and listening to the record player that was at the house. Thank you for being such a great host, we loved every moment!

Refreshing Escape
Cool property. Great kitchen and grill for steaks. Needs a big stew pot but other than that the kitchen was fully stocked. The barn is fun, very cool place to explore and throw darts. Bathrooms were well renovated and well-stocked.
