Wonderful Property

5 of 5
Submitted: May 10, 2009 Stayed: October 2008
This is a long over due review and so very deserving of this property and of the owners Jim and Doris.
We were making a last minute get away out of Chicago, and like to bring our (not so little) dogs with us. We have used home away before for other properties, but loved their pictures and the ideas of walks and the beach and night fires, even when we booked in the late part of October. It was everything as described in the property listing.
Their paper work was prompted and contacting them was easy. The directions to the property were easy and great, even at night. And when we woke the next morning what a beautiful sight we saw. The beautiful November clouds on the little black lake were breath taking. The dog run was perfect. Their endless back yard that blended right into Hoffmaster State Park trails that took you right to Lake Michigan was awesome.
The house was a little big for just the two of us and our dogs, but none the less... perfect. It had everything needed to make a great stay. Clean and well maintained, all the kitchenware and appliances were in great working order. Attached garage was convenient. Washer and Dryer were easily accessible and better than the ones I have at home.
We didn't venture away from the property to eat at any local restaurants, we were so wonderfully content staying at the house.
Jim and Doris stopped by to make sure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything. They are very delightful. We could have talked all day.
We would definitely recommend this property and look forward in returning in the fall again. Although, we don't want to recommend it too much, they might get too booked up.!!! Thanks Again Jim and Doris for making us and our four legged family feeling welcome. We still have your Christmas card still hanging on our fridge.

Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: March 25, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My wife and I wanted a fun place to getaway to and found it here. The house was quite spacious and full of all the necessities. It also has a nice basement with ping-pong, air hockey, and darts. We loved exploring Hoffmaster State Park out the back door during the day and driving an hour into the city of Grand Rapids for a little night life. A wonderful place to relax and have adventure at the same time. Try Francino's Pizza nearby. Its a great local place.
Owner's Response: Grand Haven is often thought of as a summer destination but as these guests discovered, it is also a great place to visit during the off season. Reconnect with loved ones, re-energize or just kick back. All to often life gets too busy. Work, computers, families and others duties zap energy. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax, make a reservation now. Hike, bike, fish, canoe, play a game of ping-pong, read a book or just enjoy the view.

Home away from home....

5 of 5
Submitted: September 25, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My husband and I decided last minute to "get away from the weekend" with my son and dogs in tow... We came across this home which had everything... lake Michigan access and overlooking a small lake.

The home owners were gracious and accommodated our last minute needs.

The home had everything we would want and need. It was close by grocery stores and restaurants (if necessary). The home owners also gave us a ton of recommendations for food and activities.

My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

We will definitely be staying here again.. but next time for an extended weekend or week!

Great week!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 24, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Great house! Very comfortable and clean! I can't believe how well-equipped it was. I certainly did not to pack as much as I did. The house is spacious, clean and had anything you could ever need for a week's vacation. The location is amazing, an easy drive to Grand Haven, Saugatuck, and even Grand Rapids.The view from the front porch is just gorgeous and the trails that run through the State Park in the back were fun to walk. This is a great house with great owners. We'd definitely come back to this house!
