Beautiful, quiet, and fully outfitted
my very first impression was that the yard and exterior of the house are absolutely gorgeous. my second impression was that the interior is even more impressive. we just finished a bachelor party weekend here, and everything was immaculate about this place. There are plenty of places to sleep, there is plenty of room to hang out both indoors and outdoors, and there are plenty of things to do, already here. We had a billiards tournament, we played cornhole, we sat in the hot tub, we listened to music on the in-home Bluetooth sound system. We cooked breakfast burritos on the incredible 6-burner gas stove, and we cooked burgers and brats on the outdoor grill. There are PLENTY of cooking utensils, plates, cups, silverware, etc All you need to do is being the food itself and you're completely taken care of. I brought my own Dutch oven just out of caution and didn't even take it out of my car, and I love my dutch oven! The basement has a pool table, a ping pong table, a smart TV, a bar with barstools, a very comfortable couch, an arcade system with several games, and a bedroom with space for 3-4 people depending on who would share a bed with each other. my only wish is that there was a bathroom in the basement, but it's really not too big of a hassle to walk up the stairs to use the bathroom, so it's barely an issue. I'm running out of space for my overall review, but to wrap it up, this place is incredible and I FULLY plan on coming back here at some point

Simply Wonderful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this house and cannot wait to come back! I rented this house for my husband‘s 50th birthday celebration. We had between 18 and 20 people there over 4 days. The house is even better than described in the description and the pictures. It is stunning, beautiful, clean, cozy, inviting, etc., etc. etc. I have stayed at many VRBO rentals, but I have never stayed at one where we literally wanted for nothing. This house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly think of needing to entertain and live comfortably, including kitchen utensils, appliances, bath towels, pool towels, shampoos, conditioners, pool toys, games, mattresses, linens, extra blankets, lighting, food storage, refrigerator and freezer storage, parking - And that’s just everything I can think of just right off the top of my head. I’m sure there are more. If I could leave a 7 to 10 star review I would but five is the top of the scale for them so that’s what I’m giving.

Great experience
The house was beautiful and unique. The backyard and pool area was nice and put to well use as the weekend was on the warmer side. Plenty of room for the group of us. Rick was also great to work with as we lost a watch during our stay and quickly found it and took time out of his day to return it to us. And was always in great communication with us before, during and after our stay

Great Time In Fennville
My Family and I, 13 total, spent a week at this fabulous property. There was plenty of room to accommodate us. The pool area was beautiful and super relaxing and the house was supplied with everything you would ever need. Probably the best thing is the location. Very private yet a 15 minute drive to all that the Saugatuck area has to offer.

Perfect Family Getaway
What an amazing place for a family of 15. The house was great, comfortable, and cleverly decorated!! Plenty of sleeping room for all and with a group this size, many little areas for the kids to be by themselves if needed. The basement game room was well used. The fam enjoyed game time! Our favorite house attraction was the pool! Such a good size and deep! Lots of diving contests this week and for the non-divers, plenty of swim rafts. Fennville is a great location. Close to Holland and Saugatuk for great shopping, and fine wineries for tastings!! Finally, Rick was amazing to work with. He always responded promptly with any questions I may have had!! Thanks again for a wonderful weekend packed full of family memories!!

Beautiful home but very lacking in cleanliness
First, I want to say that this is a very beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay, despite the dirtiness of the home. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard. There was coffee left in the coffee makers that were put away. There was a pan in the oven with food on it. There are lots of crumbs of food in the silverware drawers, and the cupboards. There were dishes in the cupboard with dried food on them. Our socks were ruined by the filthiness of the floor. It was very dirty and sticky. The upstairs bathroom toilet was not working well we had to use a bucket to flush the water down. There was urine dried to the toilet seat, and the back of the toilet seat when you put the lid down in one of the bathrooms We had trouble with wasps in the home that we were killing daily. As well as several stink bugs. A couple of the bed sheets were not washed, and it was very obvious. We did not bring these things to the property managers attention while we were there, we just took care of the things that we needed to and could take care of. We did not want us to waste our weekend together with the hassle of coordinating things with the property manager to have things cleaned properly or taken care of. I have to repeat that this home is a very very beautiful home and would be so awesome to rent in the summertime when you could Utilize the outdoor area, but it definitely needs to be taken care of better!

Enjoyed our stay at the property. There were a few mishaps in the beginning, a minor power outage and there were no crib sheets as we were initially informed there would be. We also noticed spider webs in the basement. Property manager was quick with responding and we made do with the situation. It would be helpful to update the house pdf regarding the electronics being Bluetooth, and an update to the sectional sofa. We were also unable to locate the outdoor hammock. Nonetheless, it was a nice family vacation and the home was equipped with everything you need for a pool or beach day. Easy check in and out.

2023 Summer - Fennville
The pool was the best part of our stay! The kids LOVED it. The homes's property/layout is beautiful. There are multiple seating areas outdoors and indoors. Our family of 10 weree able to sit around a table together which is fabulous. The kitchen has everything needed to cook, bake or do whatever:-) The way the home is decorated is artsy and appealing. The home has great "bones", although the layout is choppy. We did need to wash two sets of bedding, as we found two small bugs and a few small pieces of food within those beds. There are some updates needed (new sectional upstairs and some electric wiring (flickering lights in master bath and a few other places) The housekeeper and Rick were super responsive. I'd definitely rent this house again. I'd love to know what brand of sheets were on the master bed. They felt like butter....

Great location, great size for a large gathering
We had a great time gathering as a family (7 adults, 6 children) at this property. The location is perfect and the house has a lot to offer. The large pool area is the best part! Unfortunately for us, the fire pit is on the other side of the tall fence outlining the pool - we didn’t feel comfortable using it at night because the children were all young – we didn’t want to leave them inside that far away (it is a large property) where they wouldn’t see us if they woke up and needed us. The basement bedroom is exactly as described on the website, but should not be listed as a bedroom. We were disappointed to find there were no egress windows in the basement and did not feel comfortable having the intended family sleep down there as planned; in the end we did so because we could not come up with a different configuration in the house for the parents/children to be in the same room. The top bunk bed is close to the ceiling and I was told my 7-year-old grandson could not even sit up in the upper bunk as there were pipes running directly overhead (also making it noisy when someone flushed upstairs). Finally, while the house in general is very nice, it should be noted that the pictures were taken some time ago and, in some instances, do not reflect the furnishings that are there now.

Comfortable and convenient
We hosted 8 adults and 6 children under the age of 5 for a summer family gathering. This home is spacious and comfortable enough that everyone had their own space, yet we were able to enjoy the common areas together. The backyard is definitely the highlight and where we spent most of our time, with plentiful seating and umbrellas. We were surprised that the pool has a fairly small shallow area (maybe one quarter) with the rest quite deep; this was only a concern for our group because of the little ones. The large fire pit was also very nice with lots of seating. We loved the thoughtful and eclectic decor, very unique! The kitchen was fully stocked and even had a good variety of spices. I understand that routine maintenance and upgrades are done in the slower parts of the year, and the home will really shine after those improvements (new couch, little repairs, etc). Yolanda, property manager, was very communicative and helpful. Follow up with Rick, the owner, was quickly answered and all questions addressed. The towns of Douglas and Saugatuck are very close (within 15 minutes) and we visited both, as well as Oval Beach. Fennville is a quaint small town with a grocery store, hardware store, cute restaurants and excellent ice cream! Everyone enjoyed the stay!

Beautiful property with owners that care!
Pictures don’t do this properly justice, the house is cozy and inviting but felt like we had plenty of space for 7 adults and 7 children all under the age of 13. We hit a few snags along the way with some smaller items in the house that needed fixed, but Yolanda the property manager responded quickly, even showing up with two toasters that day after we informed her the one in the house wasn’t working. I would happily recommend this property to someone and I would return!

Great context for family and grand kids
Pleasant environment. Beds comfortable. Walls a little thin, as you can here all that is going on in other rooms. Pool was fun, but dirty...the owner seemed to he having trouble with the pollen flying around. Great location. A bug or rwo in the garage fridge, and a half bottle of vodka left on the cupboard and a pan of 30 hard biscuits in the oven left from previous users. Overall, 4+ rating

Family gathering
The location was ideal and the property was perfect for our family gathering. However, I found the listing pictures and actual a bit misleading. There were no extra blankets anywhere and the only bed coverings were the single comforters and it was chilly. Plus I had to hunt all over for the bedding for the pullouts (one was in a steamer trunk). Also, for what we paid the place needs to be fixed up, ie furniture, bedding (pillows were not good). The backyard grounds were weedy and not maintained. Overall, the layout was great and the outdoor area was perfect for our family and their kids.

It was an amazing cabin! Very spacious. We had everything we needed. It was nice to have utensils and other utilities ready to use. The living room was amazing for gathering everyone together to spend time. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great house
His house definitely has a lot of great features and the size is wonderful for large groups. Unfortunately the hot tub wasn't working which is one of the main reasons we chose this home. The only other thing was the basement had a very strong damp smoke smell from the fireplace which did come up to 1st floor as there is no door in the basement. Don't get me wrong, this is a great house and the kitchen is so well stocked. 2 large refrigerators was a bonus too as we had 3 families staying. It also has 5 bedrooms and a library with a pull out couch, not 6 actual bedrooms.

Spead out or ger close your group will like it
We had 3 generations together in the house during a big snow. We had room to spread out and room to gathee around the wood fireplace. It was a terrific experience. Pool and ping pong in the basement + a dry bar we didnt use. Main floor had shabby sheek tables, etc. Huge sectional in one room. A reading room, a game table. Next time id like to use the pool more than the fireplace.
