Well-furnished. Nice lake frontage and dock access. Common spaces were ideal for spending time together. Very clean. Kitchen knives were sharp. I would stay again with no hesitation.

This place was wonderful! Absolutely beautiful location overlooking the lake! The deck is amazing. Very peaceful. We loved using the kayaks and paddle boards. Kitchen was well stocked. It does have a microwave. Very clear signage throughout the house and helpful booklet with instructions regarding the house. Adam was a very helpful host. We would love to stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We were there when the temperature was over 90 each day but between swimming in the lake and the excellent air conditioning we stayed cool. We had a blast using the paddle boards and kayaks as well. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and we appreciated the coffee maker each day. We visited during the World Cup so we brought our own projector so we could stream the games on a wall (since there isn't a TV here). That worked out great. We explored two sand dune state parks and the city of Saugatuck. Overall, a great trip!
