Relaxing Lakefront House-Perfect Family Vacation
This retreat on the lake was absolutely perfect for spending time with extended family during a Notre Dame game weekend! The house was flawless! Everything that was described in the listing was exactly how we found it. Our host was super quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. Thank you again for letting us use your beautiful home!

Lakefront House, Pontoon, Deck, Fire Pit & More!
Leah was a phenomenal host, very responsive and fast with her replies to my questions. The place was super comfortable and welcoming. It was peaceful and quiet just as advertised. Had a wonderful stay!

South Shore Sunrise - Eagle Lake w/PONTOON
Very nice home and backyard. The pontoon boat and kayaks offered much enjoyment. Barbecue pit worked and all amenities. Firepit nice to light and have smores for the kids. Bring bug spray for being out in the evening. Neighbors were very nice also. Great vibe to the area. Would stay again. Highly recommend.

Kelsey Lake Lake house 22 miles to Notre Dame
My family and I were blown away by the house and its surroundings. We were a party of 10 adults attending my nephew's wedding at the Marion Magnolia Farms venue which was about 2 miles away. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to make meals. Except the food, of course. Plenty of bath towels, blankets, etc. Bring bottled water. The backyard setting adjacent to the lake was tranquil and peaceful. The weather was beautiful for October (high 70's). We spent the evening around the fire pit making s'mores. No mosquitoes or flies. Yay!!!!!!! You literally will not want to leave!!!!!!!!!!!! But we had to get back to reality. For 3 days and 2 nights we were able to escape the busyness of everyday living. Thanks Amy for allowing us to have a wonderful mini-vacation/wedding celebration at your AirBnB.

Riverdance - Heated Waterfront Pool 5/9 to 10/6
I’ve rented a number of places in this area and Riverdance was very special! The home was clean and well appointed with all you need. Location awesome - everything we like to do (downtown Douglas, downtown Saugatuck, Oval Beach and hiking trails) was 10 mins or less alway. Kitchen well appointed. The star was the pool and we enjoyed it so much! A pool with no fencing between the pool and the river - that is rare and GOLD! Todd was great to deal with and very responsive. Great property, great stay!

Shore Haven: Bask in the Beauty of Spring
The house & property are beautiful & so serene. It is perfect for a girl's weekend! Porch is perfect for coffee in the morning overlooking the lake & the a bonfire at night over looking the lake! Kitchen has pretty much everything you need & the master bed is sooo comfortable!! House is super clean & just decorated so cute! The host is very nice, accommodating & responsive. It is nearly perfect except for the price. It is a little high at almost $1000 for 2 nights (in the office season) except if your splitting between 4 or 5 people... like for a girl's night.

Waterfront 4BR/2.5BA W/2 Large Decks | Haven K
Howard is an amazing host. He was super responsive and accommodating to our large group. He had all the amenities that were listed on the property and more! We had more than enough towels and even kitchen appliances, spices, and utensils. His instructions were clear about checking out and our group had a wonderful weekend. We would definitely come back if he’ll have us! Thanks, Howard!

Cozy Waterfront Cottage on Indian Lake
We had a very nice stay this Lake house! We were looking for a place that would be my wife and I and our 2 dogs with easy access to a clean lake that was private and still had access to some dog-friendly restaurants, parks, etc. This place perfectly covered all those needs with a great open layout family room / kitchen / dining room (not common in many moderately sized lake houses) with plenty of room to spread out and lots of windows. It was also nice to have the kayaks, SUP, and paddle boat available to use. Kyle and Kelly were great hosts and we hope to stay again!

The Bright Yellow Retreat
The yellow retreat house was perfect for our quick stay. It was clean and spacious and we felt very comfortable there. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. We had a great stay.

Steps to Beach & Starbucks! Private Yard, Firepit!
My husband and I had the most amazing time. We loved that we could walk to most of the places we really wanted to go to. The hosts were so kind and checked in during the stay to make sure there were no issues!

Lakefront Home w/ Sunroom, Deck, Grill + Lake View
Had a great stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Communication was smooth, and everything went off without a hitch. Would definitely stay here again!

Happy Z's Retreat~ Walk to the Beach
Great stay. We had a wonderful time and the arcade games were a bonus. House was so cozy. It started snowing just as we arrived so the views were gorgeous-even had a few deer show up to complete the view. Perfect place for a winter getaway-cant wait to stay there again in the summer.

Dog Friendly Beach Cottage - Park
Thank you! We had a wonderful time and hope to be back. The gourmet dog treat was a fantastic surprise and a nice touch!

Michigan Backwoods Retreat on Lake
From the outset, this was a very enjoyable Airbnb experience. Geri provided a very useful amount of information about the property and area eateries, wineries, etc. The home was made available to us earlier than expected, was clean, very well-stocked, and ready for our use. The WIFI apparatus was robust and very easy to connect to. We truly enjoyed the beautiful, wooded surroundings...especially in mid-October...spectacular colors. We got onto the lake for some fishing using the provided kayaks. Nice bass in the lake! We used the firepit each evening, so the firewood that was made available to us was put to excellent use! I cannot overstate how impressed we were with the thoughtful outfitting of the home...kitchenware, toiletries, bedding, games, outdoor furniture, plenty of coffee, and more; everything we might want was available to us. Geri's husband John gave us a fun and interesting tour of their neighboring farmstead...highly recommended! Kudos Geri!

New Buffalo / Union Pier Pool Hot tub 6 Bedroom
We had an amazing stay at Tim’s Airbnb in Union Pier, Michigan! The place was even better than the photos — bigger, very clean, and perfectly set up with everything we needed. It was the ideal spot for our girls trip, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves. Tim was a great host, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Debs Michigan hot tub house, open all year
We all agreed that Deb’s Place was one of the best places we’ve stayed. The location was perfect…very walkable to all the shops and restaurants of New Buffalo, but also so easy to hop in the car and drive to Art Attack in Three Oaks or Greenbush in Sawyer. We loved that we had our own bedrooms plus two baths to share among 5 of us. The yard was awesome and the only bummer was it was too cold for us to enjoy the fire pit or the hot tub (32 degrees on April 26th? Crazy!). Deb was easy to communicate with and the place was perfectly decorated and had all of the little amenities that made it feel like home. Overall, a great place to stay any time of year!!

Lake Life Livin’- Beach House
We had the greatest girls weekend here . House is cozy, decorated beautifully, well appointed with everything you could need. Walkable to beach & a fun breakfast restaurant. Spacious common areas. Large bedrooms. Great backyard with comfortable , nice furniture and a fire table. Cozy front porch with comfortable seats . Lots of seating in the house . Huge kitchen with every utensil, bowl, plate or cup you may need . Host was very responsive to all of our questions .

La Casita De Lago
We enjoyed our stay here!! We actually told Vic & Jess we saw their place from TikTok ! It caught our attention especially since it wasn’t far from us here in Chicago so we had to check it out ourselves! The view and simply being away from the city for the weekend was amazing. Vic & Jess are very responsive and attentive which we appreciated. Their home is very clean and it really does make you feel comfortable and inviting. All the vibes are there! Would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a quick getaway even with your kids. Ours enjoyed it very much 😊

Private lakeside home w/hot tub
If i could give Samantha 10 stars I would. The house is absolutely beautiful. We stayed here for 3 months due to a work project in Michigan. The space was more than enough to accommodate my crew during the stay. Samantha was very responsive and very understanding. Without hesitation I would definitely recommend Samanthas home. And if we are ever in Michigan again, I will definitely book with her.

Lakeside Haven | Cozy Retreat for 14 + Boat Option
Beautiful house in a beautiful location and close to everything we wanted to do. Our hosts are responded promptly to our questions and provided the perfect venue for our getaway. Thank You!

Eagle’s Nest
Great lake house for our multi-family gathering. Pontoon rental was perfect for fishing! We caught our limit of bluegill each day. Young and old especially loved the swinging in the great room looking into the lake. Power recliner and couch made watching TV relaxing. Girls loved painting rocks. And our 3 year old grandson was in love with cars and toys to play with.

Great Escape on Lake Michigan
It was the perfect get away, we did venture out a little bit, but we mostly stayed at the house. It was very comfortable, and was a home away from home. Had everything we needed, as we cooked in almost everyday. We don’t have a lot of conversations with Jodie, but we had adequate conversations with her. She was very responsive when we requested information. The info sheet was easy to understand and informative.

The Courtyard - A Modern Retreat, Hot Tub/Fire pit
Second time staying there, even better in the fall. Surroundings are beautiful!

Cherry Blossom
If you're looking for a peaceful lakehouse getaway, this place has all the modern conveniences along with access to a private dock for fishing. Catfish were biting! Although there are other properties on either side and across from this one, we never saw another soul for the most part. Daily visits from swans on the lake were an added bonus. The local grocery store is a 6 minute drive and had everything we needed. There's not much to do in Allegan, so this place is for those looking for a serene retreat with the amenities of our own home. Would definitely return for another visit!
