“We booked this home for a girls weekend reading retreat. Overall we loved the place. The hot tub, sauna, and steam shower were fabulous. The rooms and beds were nice. We did not care for the bunk room - better for children than adults. We would recommend better fitted sheets on the bunk beds. There were plenty of mugs, dishes, silverware, etc. There was plenty of seating for us all eating meals and hanging out. Plenty of towels, wash clothes, toilet paper, paper towel. The river view was nice, though we didn’t go down to it. The host is super responsive. My only complaint is the place was visibly dirty when we arrived. Not horrible but the floors clearly needed vacuumed, there were hairs in the shower, sediment in the tub, leaves and sediment in the hot tub. They responded immediately and offered to reclean, which we accepted. But it was a little frustrating because it interfered with our trip. They were nice and took care of it but I would have preferred not to have had that at all”

“All good things!”

“Our stay was exactly what we needed—a beautiful home with ample space, perfect for friends, couples and larger groups. We took the weekend to relax and enjoy some quality girl time. The nearby wine tasting was a lovely experience, and we cherished the peaceful outdoors while unwinding in the jacuzzi. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and look forward to returning!”

“Stayed for the weekend with a group of women. The home was exactly as described and matched all the photos. The house is large and it is easy to spread out and almost lose track of where everyone is. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need! Check-in and check out we're both straightforward and easy. Our only suggestion would be more seating in the livingroom for such a large home. We very much enjoyed our stay and would be happy to book again!”

“Loved it so much we had to go again.”

“Loved the place”

“We really enjoyed our stay!”

“Place is exactly as pictured. Very spacious and comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked.”

“The home was beautiful & Sage was quick with responding whenever we had questions”

“This house was a great space for my family to gather for the holiday. With the different levels in this home, there was privacy and space for all. Thank you!”

“The property was absolutely clean and stylish. It was exactly the same as shown in the pictures.The host was very friendly & quick with responding to questions I had. The home had very big rooms with cosy beds! I really enjoyed the sauna and beautiful view! Overall very quite and spacious home and I would definitely recommend, as we feel so lucky to have found.”

“Clean, quiet and comfy”

“Very good! We just had a small gathering with some friends over the weekend and had fun (Just wished the snow let us do a bit more). Nice and quiet neighborhood and we were able to communicate well with the host. Would recommend and would stay again sometime in the future.”

“The house was beautiful and the surroundings peaceful. We loved the views along the St Joe”

“The house was so beautiful, our group was very impressed. Each of the bedrooms were as good or better than what was pictured. We had a wonderful surprise when we entered to see that the ping-pong table was upgraded to a pool table! There were updates in the bathrooms and the deck patio now has a pergola. We loved using the fit pit each night too! The neighborhood was clean and quiet. Sage was in communication with us and answered our questions. The only thing that could have been better was that the outdoor lights were set for only 3 seconds. I am sure they will adjust this going forward. This is a place we would love to come back to again.”

“Great place to stay! Such a beautiful house. The games that were pictured weren’t there and they went and got us some and had them to us before noon the next day. Such a great experience.”

“Really nice place. If I were a ND fan, I would stay here for sporting events for sure!! Plenty of room and awesome location!!”

“Great property. We hope to visit again”

“Nice accommodation with a lot of beds/bathrooms, great for a large group of people. We got use out of the fire out & sauna as well.”

“We loved this house! It was perfect for our large family! Great location!”

“Everything was so great! Super helpful and understanding!! Definitely plan on coming back sometime if accepted and will for sure be setting recommendations to my friends”

“My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house has plenty of space. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the patio overlooking the beautiful green space. The kitchen had everything required to cook or bake. The cabinet had seasonings but I had already bought my own. We had minor issues that were quickly resolved. The host are very responsive of which I appreciated. We also enjoyed the river walk behind the home❤️ The property was exactly as described and more the basement has its own kitchen and fridge cool teen space. The bedroom on the main floor, bathroom is large beautiful and tranquil great job!! We definitely will be back…In Berrien Springs most things are at least 20min away including the beach. Overall we enjoyed everything about the property and the host stayed in communication anytime I needed anything.”

“Everything was fantastic. The house was very clean and kid friendly. It accommodated our large group perfectly. Sage was welcoming and communicative. It was a wonderful time and I would stay again when in the area.”

“Very nice stay. Highly recommend!”

“We had a great time in Berrien springs and surrounding area”

“We recently stayed at this beautifully renovated house and had an exceptional experience. The property offers a stunning view of a plantation and lush trees, adding to its charm. The kitchen was very well-equipped, and the house had ample bedrooms to comfortably accommodate our group of 12. The common areas were incredibly spacious, and at no point did we feel crowded. The check-in process was seamless, and the host was extremely responsive and accommodating. The only thing that could make this place perfect would be the addition of a hot tub. We highly recommend this property, especially if you're looking for a peaceful retreat about a 20-minute drive from the beach. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!”

“Our stay was amazing loved everything about this house.”

“What a lovely place for our family gathering. Everyone had room for their family. The home was clean, neat, with amenities such as a Keurig with coffee and creamer ready for morning use. Plenty of dishes for meals and laundry for after dune runs. Hope to return for our next reunion!”

“Great home with lots of room.”

“Other than a slight hiccup with the heater, it was a wonderful stay and was our 2nd time.”

“very very fun. lots to do and very relaxing”

“The house was beautiful and big! We had a few wifi issues with the tvs though. And a few lights didnt work but other then that everything was just as pictured if not more nice. Would def stay again!”

“Beautiful home in a quiet little town. Nice fishing spots around town. Good local food spots. Close to wineries on the Michigan wine trail and a short drive to Lake Michigan with some wonderful beaches. We took a trip to the Warren Dunes State Park which was about 25 mins away- beautiful beach and nice water. Great spot for kids. House was in a quiet neighborhood that you could walk around. The house had cool stuff everyone enjoyed: putting green, hot tub, sauna, and nice gym in the garage.”

“We had a wonderful week with family doing day trips and using the yard. The host was informative and quick to respond The beds were comfortable and rooms met our needs. Access to the river was difficult having to walk down a steep hill and a swampy area to see the river. We didn’t use that. We recommend lake arvesta farms and Red Top winery”

“Worked well for a lacrosse tournament weekend with another family”

“It's a very nice property and we had a great time.”

“Perfect place for our family gathering. There was enough room for all of us and the kitchen was big enough for our large group”
