Very Nice and Secluded
Very clean and modern with attractions and Lake Mi close by. Easy to find and Fennville is close for groceries and fuel. Neighboring towns and places of interest all were within a 45 minute drive. I had a little difficulty getting the lock box open - but that was operator error. I called the host and within 10 minutes had the entry opened. Great support!

Quick Summer Getaway
Cute little house in a nice neighborhood. Plenty of privacy. Central air and fast wifi. Check in was easy and the place had fresh towels and soaps like a hotel. Kitchen was well equipped (was only missing frying pans) and I enjoyed using the grill and having bonfires. Easy access to the inland lake and ~13 minutes to a county park on Lake Michigan. Would stay again!

Lovely cottage
Place was very clean and accurately described in listing. The beds were comfy. Easy to drive to nearby towns and beaches. At first when arrived was worried about the no air conditioning it was so hot inside but once we opened all windows and found all the fans we didn’t notice there was no air conditioning. The only thing was the lake access is not clearly marked and it’s awkward. It’s a small piece of lawn squeezed in between other houses with other peoples boats and tables on it and when you arrive at the water there is no place it’s all covered with boats and docks of the other residents So if you wanted to sit there you feel like sitting In Someone else’s backyard and if you want to swim or get your boat in water you have to go in between and around all the docks and boats. So not really usable in my opinion. I would still definitely stay there again

Cute cottage
My husband, myself and a friend stayed 4 nights. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. The space is small but seemed larger due to the all weather porch on the side. We actually spent most of our time on the porch. During our stay we explored Saugatuck, Douglas and visited Holland. Great art galleries, restaurants and beaches. We really loved the area.
