“Worked out great for our group. Nice and close to REDBUD”

“Highly recommend this booking! Great for entertaining large groups. The backyard activities were fantastic.”

“Lot of amenities. Access to the river. Beautiful home with lots of space and things to do.”

“Positive: Location was perfect. House was great for the group we had staying here! Negative: A little pricey and early check in cost is insane.”

“Our group loved our stay here! The outdoor space and gym area were a big hit with both kids and adults. Sage was really responsive and check in/out was a breeze. The only hiccup was a minor ant situation in the master suite but the host is aware and remedying the issue. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would book this house again”

“The property was beautiful. the host was great and responsive. The location was perfect. we had 10 guests and we were all comfortable. 10/10.”

“We had a large group and the house accommodated us perfectly. We had an issue with the passcode when we arrived and our hosts responded right away and fixed the problem. The amenities were awesome and we utilized all of them. The putting green, hot tub, and sauna were our favorites. Also, the steam shower was a great touch! We would love to stay again.”

“This house was perfect for a small family trip. Plenty of space for the kids, lots to do, and the little river in the back is just darling! Will definitely be booking again!”

“Beautiful and comfortable home. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back! Kitchen had plenty of utensils and a lot of seasonings were provided as well, though the only issue we had was the stove not heating up properly. The home had everything that was listed and hosts were very helpful and quick with responding to our messages which we really appreciated!”

There was plenty of snow, which made the whole place feel magical ❄️ The property is beautiful and very well maintained, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The sauna and jacuzzi were a huge bonus and the perfect way to unwind. The house was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable retreat!”

“Came here for a weekend with 10 people, five couples. It was a little large for 10 people, I would say it could sleep 12-14 comfortably. There was stuff for children there like a high chair, although we don’t have any children, but nice for those who do! The putting green was very cute and had putters and balls provided. The sauna and hot tub were awesome for a chilly fall weekend but the hot tub did give some of us some skin irritation which was unfortunate. Kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. Firewood was provided which was nice. The round barn winery/brewery/distillery was amazing! Tabor hill was meh. Watermark brewery is about 20 mins away but worth it, fire pits very cute. And the dive bar called welcome inn (cash only) was super fun. Brunch we went to Nikki’s (cash only) was also lovely and 1.5min from the airbnb. We had a great time here in the berrien springs area! Thank you so much!!”

“Loved this place. Booked this place for my wife and I and a small bridal party group of four other friends during our wedding week. Fantastic space, sauna and hot tub were great and quick 10 min drive to our venue. Loved it and would highly recommend.”

“Great place to stay! Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Backyard (fire pit, putting green, deck furniture) is outstanding. Host communications are prompt and accurate. Will absolutely look for this house for future stays!”

“We have stayed here several times and always enjoy it. The host is very attentive. The house is always clean and large enough for our crew. We look forward to staying in the future.”

“beautiful home with responsive owners .would definitely recommend”

“The house was clean and very charming. Our group enjoyed the sauna, hot tub, fire pit, and especially the putting green as we were in the area for a golf trip. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We had a great time!”

“Very responsive hosts - a beautiful home and beautiful surroundings. Lots to do at the house with all of the amenities - it was a great place to hang out with our friends leading up to the wedding weekend!”

“Hot tub and sauna were great! The view is spectacular and we had enough space for our family of 14! The host was always responsive”

“Me and my friends had a great stay here. The host is always responsive and helpful.”

“We had an amazing stay at this charming riverside house! The location is absolutely perfect — peaceful, private, and just steps from the water (400 ft.) Waking up to the sound of local birds and enjoying coffee on the deck with a beautiful view of the open sky was a highlight of our trip.”

“Great place.”

“Perfect house for a weekend getaway! Exactly what we were liking for to for a nice sized group. And a beautiful view in the backyard.”

“Spacious. Nice amenities including hot tub, coffee, kitchen supplies, blankets, and so on. Quick communication with an issue we had, which was resolved asap. Great stay.”

“This is our second time staying here. Again, we were amazed by the accommodations. The host was very responsive. We look forward to staying in the future.”

“The house was perfect for our larger crew. The house has plenty of amenities. The host was very responsive, and we look forward to staying in the future.”

“A truly fantastic weekend retreat! The house was charming, clean, and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The setting is beautiful and offers a great sense of peace and quiet. Loved the hot tub, sauna, fire pit, porch . Easy check-in and great communication. Highly recommended!"”

“This house has it all when it comes to amenities. The place was great for the 3 of us who were in town for work. We really enjoyed our stay and the property manager was easy to work with… we would definitely return. ”

“The house was very nice and the property managers got back with any questions quickly. ”

“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!”
