Rosewood Pointe -- Best Site for a Family Reunion
Review Submitted: June 17, 2009

We held our four-day family reunion at Rosewood Pointe less than two weeks ago. I can't say enough wonderful things about this site. We rented all seven houses/cottages for our 67 or so relatives, and everyone loved it. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with hundreds of colorful flowers in bloom that were very well maintained, the cottages were spotlessly clean. There were loads of activities for children and adults alike (kayak, paddle boats, row boat, horseshoes, volleyball, swing sets, and toys for kids to play in the sand). It's ideal for family events because kids can play on the beach while parents monitor them from the decks of the houses/cottages. There's a large grassy area b/t the houses and the beach, where we played many games, such as kick ball, Whiffle Ball, Red Rover, and where the kids were able to hold various races. Many of the kids crashed early from all of the playing, fresh air, and sunshine, leaving the parents to enjoy cocktails and s'mores by the campfire while the moon shone beautifully on Lake Macatawa (it looked like a postcard). Of all of the possible venues I researched (hundreds), Rosewood Pointe offered the most amenities at the best price. The bonus, however, was that the property was spectacularly beautiful, with loads of room and endless opportunities for family fun. There were plenty of areas that offered shady places to sit and relax, and the beach offered unobstructed sunshine for tanning, building sand castles and, of course, water balloon fights. Many of our family members fished from the rowboat or piers, and they some huge fish tha were delicious! I have a ton of wonderful memories of our reunion at RP, including hilarious rides with cousins on paddle boats and kayaks, that will stay with me forever. (I'm grinning now, just thinking of them.) I had one of the best times of my life at the reunion, and its success was largely due to the perfect site. There's even wireless internet service on the property, and the property manager(s) and maintenance people couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful lake retreat at which to have an event, no matter what the size. In fact, we have an annual weekend away for all of the over-21 women in our family (16-18 in all), and it's likely we'll rent Rosewood Pointe for our next one. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Can't wait to go back!
