Beautiful home and property. Very spacious! Super comfy beds and pillows. Thoughtful extras in the bathrooms and extra blankets in the linen closet. The only recommendation I have is to replace the pots and skillets. Otherwise, it was very well stocked.

Room to spread out!

Great place to spread out, relax and enjoy yourself. Had a great time playing pool on the table in the living room and cooking good meals. There were a few issues we had during our stay. The TV’s were a little difficult to link up on streaming services so we could watch football. The upstairs shower has very low water pressure but there was plenty of hot water for the four of us. The steps in the house are a bit tricky so be mindful of that for kids our elderly people. Otherwise the house was very clean and organized. Was a great place for a guys golf trip to American Dunes!

Great house for larger groups!

This house was just as described! We had a group of 10 and all had adequate and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen was a great size and all enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating area. We also enjoyed the games available at the location, which included a pool and ping pong table. The space was very clean and the host was extremely responsive. Would definitely recommend if staying in the Norton Shores area!
