Great stay - recommend
Adorable well kept vacation home on the lake in a beautiful quiet neighborhood . All the amenities one could ask for and easy communication with the host when needed. We were not there for a week on the lake but wish we could have used all the fun amenities /toys that were made available . Bedding and towels were high end quality. And in comparison to other homes I’ve stayed in I would say this host does go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and they want you to be able to feel at home and use all the amenities . Great for families or couples

Wonderful!
We absolutely loved our stay here. Becky was an amazing host. The beds were comfortable, and the kids loved the bunk room. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our stay here. The pantry was a big bonus too as we had room to store things we had brought with us.
Becky also had several little extras around the home that were just the icing on the cake (Like all the makings for smores and so much more) We had one cooler, rainy day during our stay and there was plenty of room for us all to be comfortable as well as tons of things for the kids to do. They loved all the games & toys.
Be sure to bring a pair of binoculars and a good camera to catch the Bald Eagle that lives there. We got to watch him catch a fish and eat it in a tree a few houses away from us!!!
There was plenty of room for family who are locals to come visit us during the day too! A major plus as we live 20+ hours away. We plan on staying here again next year!!

Magical lakeside getaway!
This home and host is everything you want in a lakeside getaway and more!! As soon as I pulled up I knew this place was going to be more than I expected!! And yes, it absolutely was!! Everyone loved their rooms! Everything is upscaled and thought out with exquisite taste. Felt like home to me;). The lakefront space has so many options to enjoy!! The table for BBQ, the fire pit, and dock seating...enjoyed each spot! The lake is beautiful!! Used all the water features, paddle boards, kayaks, boat rental, lily pad, fishing and swimming. AND there are things I didn't even have time to try. This host has thought out everything you need to enjoy and create memorable moments! I can't wait to return and enjoy more magical times!!

This property is AMAZING!!! The home is gorgeous, the location is fantastic, the community is wonderful. We have never had such fluffy & soft bath towels at a VRBO. Everything was top tier to the max. The use of the pontoon boat to all the lake toys (kayaks, paddleboards, yard games, etc) was so much fun. All you have to do is arrive and start having fun and that is exactly what our family did. We had our 2 grandchildren (ages 7 & 9) and they didn't come out of the water until it was time to go to bed. Fishing off the dock, playing in the water, tubing, they kayaked all around the lake trying to catch up with the swans. Sitting on the dock, enjoying a beverage, and watching the sunset after a busy day on the lake was so relaxing, it helped get us ready to do it all again the next day. We will definitely come back!!!!

We had a great stay at this lakeside property. The neighborhood was great, location is close to all things Kalamazoo. The house accommodations were great along with the lake amenities provided (Kayaks, Fishing gear, boat dock). The kids were able to use the bicycles provided along with a adult bike. Special thanks to Megan for providing the jungle gym and small trampoline.

Great House in Great Location
We stayed here to prepare for our son's wedding. We live out of town so we needed a place to work on final preparations. We also stayed a few days after the wedding to rest and relax. This was the perfect place for us! There was space to work and for everyone to be comfortable. Becky was a great host, very responsive and very nice!

Kid-friendly, all we could have hoped!
A marvelous venue for an extended family week with small children. This home was by far the best equipped one I have ever stayed in with a thoughtfully, generously and fully stocked kitchen and lots of toys, books and entertainment particularly for the elementary and under set. Lots of opportunity for water play, too, with several human powered watercraft and flotation toys. This home is an easy one to recommend.

Wow!
Our family of 12 (2 kids-ages 8 and 12) had the best time staying at this home. Becky was so great with communication. The patio furniture in front and back both got used a lot and were very comfortable. The inside of the house was clean and very homey. The kitchen had every possible thing you could image you might need. I have stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and this kitchen was by far the best of the bunch. The beds were comfy and the master bathroom was beautiful (so was the walk in closet). The lake was perfect and never felt too busy. We had the lovely sandy sandbar to ourselves most of the week. There were so many outdoor games/toys to choose from. The kayaks and paddle boards were used often. The kids loved the playground and trampoline. It is very close to Kalamazoo so there are so many options to check out besides just enjoying the lake. The AirZoo in Kalamazoo was a kid favorite. The farmers market in Texas Township was small but seemed like it had all kind of homegrown options to pick from. There is really nothing bad I could say about this property and the location. Our family would definitely stay here again.

Loved everything about our stay!
We booked the house for a combined family trip, with four adults and four kids ages 2-5. The house exceeded our expectations in every way, and made for the most perfect stay! Becky has thought of everything - this was the most accommodating VRBO I've stayed at. She has gone out of her way to ensure you have everything you could possibly need for a great lake trip. This house is ideal for families, but would be an amazing spot for a girls weekend or adult trip, too. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the house was very clean and organized. There is even an ottoman full of toys in the living room - total bonus if you have littles! The backyard and lakefront are truly beautiful. The attention to detail continues outside, with beautiful landscaping, outside seating, fire pit, etc. We had so much fun swimming, kayaking, fishing, and just enjoying the lake. We made a trip to the Bell's brewery one day for lunch, but other than that we didn't leave the house and lake since we had everything we could need right there! Becky's daughter Megan lives a few houses down, and she went out of her way to help make our stay great as well! My son took a pretty nasty spill on his bike while Megan happened to be outside. She came down with an extra first aid kit and everything we needed to help patch him up and get him back to enjoying the lake. Becky and Megan are incredible hosts. We really had the best time from start to finish, and would love to visit again!

Fabulous
I rarely leave reviews these days but I just have to let the people know how fabulous this property is! Let me start by stating I’m quite of the Vrbo frequent flyer. This has been the best property I’ve stayed in. It is quite obvious a lot of thought has gone into making the guests feel comfortable and at home. The towels alone, were amazingly soft and beautiful. That doesn’t even include the shower, bed and kitchen. Everything you can possibly imagine is stocked for your use. The lake and property is gorgeous and easily accessible for your older guests.
Book this place! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Becky!

Gem on Eagle Lake
This property is one of, if not THE best, my family and I have ever rented. This includes other Michigan and Arizona lakefront properties as well as ocean front houses in Texas and Florida.
The house was very clean, fresh and included everything one would expect in their own home. All linen, towels, furniture and kitchen supplies were like new. There was a nice welcome gift of wine, chocolates and snacks.
Lake access is easy as was mooring our pontoon boat and jet skis. Boating and skiing were great as the lake was not over-crowded, even on the weekends. The water was refreshing, nice and sandy, although a little sea-weedy out past the dock. When seaweed started accumulating near the shore, the owners made sure to remove it.
Becky, the owner, and her daughter Meg were there to greet us, made us feel welcome and let us know they were available for any questions or problems that may occur.
The next time we decide to rent in this part of Michigan, we definately will call Becky first.

What a Gem!
This property and host are EXCELLENT! If you're looking at this house and thinking.....maybe? Stop your search and book it! I really can't say enough great things about our experience. Starting with the phenomenal communication from start to end and the warm welcome (with treats) from the owner and her daughter. The house is in excellent condition inside and out with everything you could possibly need, it was like we were staying at our family's home. We rented a pontoon boat (next time we will rent one that can pull a tube) and we loved to kayak and paddle board around the lake. We 100% would stay here again and hope to make that happen next summer. Thank you for sharing this special place with us!

Family Lake Week
Family vacations are important to us, a retired couple with adult children and a young grandchild. All 3 generations enjoyed this well-equipped house and the wide range of lake activities. Convenient for cooking, bringing in food from nearby restaurants, and enjoying visits to special places in the area. Easy communication with our host and prompt help whenever we needed it. A-plus!!
