We enjoyed our stay! The house was spacious and a great place to gather with family. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and communication from the host was clear and timely. There are a few minor updates that would make the house even better (some loose tiles, a broken toilet handle, etc.), but nothing that impacted our overall experience.

Great house to celebrate my daughter’s 17th birthday. The walk-out lower level, with screened in hot tub, living room, bathroom and bedrooms, was a perfect space for 6 teenage girls. The large upper living space was perfect for the adults and for all of us to gather and eat and hangout. Twelve total in our group and plenty of room for all of us. The walk through the woods to the beach was a fun adventure. Would stay here again. Highly recommend!

Great Trip

Great house for a large family. The host was very helpful and responsive. Nice proximity to the beach. I recommend Silver Beach about 15 minutes away, but our dogs loved the closer beach, Hagar. That beach was so nice and close , but my parents could not handle the almost 100 steps to get down. It was our first time to Lake Michigan and I would recommend this house! Just don’t go the Waterfront Restaurant unless there is a big sign reading under new management.

BIGGEST ISSUE: Just hours before we were scheduled to check on, we were notified by the property managers that the house had no electricity due to a storm the night before. We were driving from 7 hours away and planning to stay with my sister and her family, so I told them if them if the power doesn't come back on we will need to cancel our reservation. They said power outages are NOT a reason to cancel and we would still be charged over 1,800 for the 2 nights even if we didn't show up and the house had no power. I inquired if they had a generator and if the house was on city was or a well. No generator and the house is on well water. Let that sink in... No power no water! How can you except someone to pay to stay at your house but not take a shower or flush a toilet?! The power was restored so we ended up staying but the rediculousness of being told we couldn't cancel is the biggest part of this low rating. - Second, the shower in the master bedroom has blinds that you can 100% see through! This is a huge safety and privacy issue. At night, you can stand outside the house and see right into the shower. - There is a security camera INSIDE the house not mentioned in the description - The beds were very uncomfortable.- lacked common items like cooking oil.The PROS: the space is very large and pictures matched the description.- lots of windows and the house was clean.

We had such a great time!!! The house is so pleasant to hang out in. The main rooms are surrounded with windows. It almost feels like you’re in a treehouse. I would definitely stay here again even though it could use a little freshening up .

Nice setting, roomy home

Liked: ample seating for all in an open concept home. It was spacious but still felt cozy. Hot tub was great and property is secluded. Weather was uncooperative for us, unfortunately we couldn’t explore but did walk to the beach which was empty (late November). A few odd/not great things. Our kids wanted to watch a movie downstairs while the adults were upstairs. The Roku remote is a rechargeable remote, it was dead so I reached out to ask about the charging cable.Response was “don’t know, guests lose them all the time”. My husband had to go to the store anyway so he bought one. Shortly after we arrived a repair man came to look at the washer/dryer. There was no previous communication about this. Apparently he was meant to have come earlier, but there was a mix up. Luckily he didn’t stay long. Last, the checkout time of 10 am is too early. The home accommodates like 15 people - there was zero time for relaxation in the morning and enjoying the house with trying to get the kids fed and still clean up the house according to the required checklist (strip the beds, start laundry, do dishes, take out trash). It’s a great house, but maybe consider the early checkout time if you’re booking.

Best stay ever!

I cannot say enough good things about this property! The house was beautiful and spacious. Valerie was extremely helpful and accommodating. We asked to have our wedding rehearsal dinner at the house and she had no hesistation what so ever! Our bridal party stayed the entire weekend and had plenty of space. My makeup and hair artists had plenty of space to work and amazing natural lighting. Everyone that came to the house complimented how gorgeous it was. Everything was clean and we had everything we could possibly need. The location was only 13 minutes from our venue so was perfect. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to host a large group of people!

Great getaway but plan to wash your bed before you sleep in it.

This is a nice property with everything you need to relax. The hot tub was nice but it created a ton of foam which was weird for a hot tub. The beach was accessible by crossing a busy road but we didn’t mind that. The wood fireplaces were a great touch and there were plenty of places to lounge. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. The cleaning though— left a lot to be desired. We found candy wrappers in our bedroom, indicating it had not been vacuumed at all and it was clear they only washed the bed sheets as the duvets were dirty and stained.

Lovely getaway in the woods

This is our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for two families (4 adults and 5 kids total), able to spread out and relax. Easy walk through the woods to the public beach (as noted you have to cross what is essentially a freeway to get to the site so while it is a short walk I wouldn't recommend with small kids), the woods are lovely, good amenities and nice cozy ambience in the home. The beds and bedding are not the most comfortable or updated and there are signs of wear/etc. in the bathrooms but the value for a home so close to the beach and absolutely great communication and ease of checkin balance that out. Also so grateful to get to bring our dogs. Highly recommend nearby Jollay Orchards for a fall visit too. There is not much that is super close to the home (not much of a town to speak of and limited dining options in Coloma) but an easy drive to St. Joseph for more restaurants and stores (and we did find local pizza delivery).

Great spot for families!

Communication with the host was prompt, thorough, and above all, friendly. The home had several board games for the kids and several areas to gather. It was in close proximity to several beaches and was easy to find. If I were to offer any area of improvement, I would share that the house could have really used new bedding on most of the beds. The fitted sheets were very lose/worn, the comforters needed to be laundered, and the few pillows were very flat/old.

Amazing Home for Family Vacation

Our family of 13 booked this home for our family vacation and we had an AMAZING time! The house had a peaceful, treehouse feel to it. It had ample space to sleep all of us and the grill, firepit, and hot tub were awesome amenities! We also loved the private pathway that led to the street near the beach. The stocked kitchen was also sufficient, especially considering that we cooked all of our meals during our stay. Valerie was a great host. She always responded promptly and professionally and gave us all the information we needed from check in to check out. My family and I would definitely book this house again!

Great place, would stay again

Pros: My family really loved this place. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. It was perfect for all of us, and we especially enjoyed walking to the beach or driving to St. Joseph if we wanted to. Cons: The place could use a deep cleaning but was NOT dirty by any stretch. The bed in the master bedroom was not the most comfortable, and the sheets in the master bedroom were worn out and felt like sleeping on sandpaper.

We appreciated that the house accommodated the 13 of us very nicely. The lay out of the house was excellent for all to find a niche to visit, play cards, do a puzzle, nap, etc. The short walk to Lake Michigan was very convenient even though the weather was cool, with some rain. The host was very responsive to questions and feedback about the condition of the house including a timely sending of the repair man to fix chair legs that came loose. Thank you to the hosts!

Great House for a large group!

The Woodshore Retreat is a great house that was perfect for our family get together with 6 adults and a 2 year old. The living space is huge and very comfortable. A true open plan that makes it fun for the entire group. There is one large room with the kitchen, dining area and lounge area with a huge TV. The kitchen is well stocked. It's secluded in mature woods but just a 5 minute walk to a nice lakeside park that has a fun play area for kids and a nice sandy beach. The hot tub is an added bonus and it was great to sit around the fire pit even if it was December. Valerie was very accessible and was a pleasure to work with. We will be back!

Great Family Getaway

The property was perfect for our family. The layout couldn't have been better for our 3 generation getaway. The house was tucked away in the woods, very private. The beach was a short walk through the woods. The wifi was great so checking in with work was a breeze. Streaming televisions allowed our grandkids to watch Disney in the early morning so our " big kids" could sleep in! The house was very clean and with more than enough amenities in the kitchen and lots of towels and blankets. The owners were quick to get back to me with a few questions I had and resolved a small problem quickly. We go apple picking in Michigan every year and this house was close to many venues. Also close to restaurants, wine tasting and shopping. We also enjoyed two evenings around the fire pit. And the hot tub was a big hit!
