Wonderful Getaway! Great house with lots of extras provided!
Where do I begin?? Diana was always very quick to answer any and all communications. The property was EXACTLY as advertised and the pictures did not do it justice as the house was immaculate! We had a party of 9 which included myself, my wife, my 23 yr old twin boys, my 14 yr old twin boy and girl, one of my older son's girlfriend and each of my younger ones brought a friend. With the 2 levels, we were able to spread out when needed but living rooms on each level were big enough for us all when wanted to be together. There were enough bedrooms where everyone had plenty of room to sleep as well. With the sofa sleepers, we could have had a few more people there as well. We enjoyed a night out by the fire and the kids liked the rope swings. They could not find the paths down by the telephone poles but that was okay. Charcoal, lighter fluid provided made cooking out a breeze. The large table in the kitchen allowed us all to eat together which was very nice. The kids played board games they brought from home and also card games with the cards provided. My wife and I enjoyed the sitting area located off the kitchen for reading and talking in the beautiful Michigan weather. The location was close to everything as Holland and Saugatuck/Douglas were within a 15 min drive. We enjoyed downtown Holland and their activities (we had been there 2 years ago) but made our first venture to Saugatuck on this trip. We LOVED Saugatuck with its beauty and nice shops. Although the weather was only in low to mid 70's while we were there, it remained dry for a couple of days so we enjoyed a day at Oval Beach. It was less crowded due to the weather so that was a plus. It was a brisk 58 degrees in water but we went in anyway. It was sunny enough to get a few mild sunburns (LOL). All in all, the only bad thing is we didn't stay longer up here in Michigan. I would DEFINITELY recommend this property to friends and family (which I already have) and anyone who wants to be close to things but yet a little bit out by yourself. Thanks again to Diana for opening up this home and the many things provided both in the house and outside of it.
