Lovely, peaceful retreat!

It is as lovely as it looks in the pictures--spacious and in excellent condition. The lake is beautiful, swimmable even for little kids, and it's an easy drive to Lake Michigan for a daytrip too.

Excellent getaway for large family

It was wonderful to be in a quiet place away from town, yet close enough to visit nearby towns for shopping and the beach. Loved that there was so much to do inside the home with games and toys for children, as well as fire pit and water activities. Nobody was bored for one second! Incredibly relaxing, very kind neighbors.

Perfect family get away

It was another absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Plenty of space for 10 adults and 3 small kids. the property is absolutely beautiful and big enough for all of us to have room and enjoy fishing and hanging out down by the lake. Bonfires at night with lots of smores and wonderful family stories. Communication with Martha and Gaius was timely and very thorough. if you are looking for a perfect family get away this is the place to book.

Relaxing

The house is perfect for a large family, everything you could need was available. The property is nice, the beach could use more sand and cleaned up as far as the landscaping goes, but overall we enjoyed our stay! Our children fished and played in the water all day everyday and had a great time! Will definitely recommend for large groups!

Quiet place on the lake

The property was very clean and the views were gorgeous. Kitchen was stocked well and there was plenty of space to eat. Very quiet area which was nice. There were kayaks and canoes, etc to use which was a fun bonus, although we didn’t end up having time to utilize them. Lots of beds available, which was also nice. Overall a nice, quiet, clean place to stay. Owners were responsive to questions and had things labeled very nicely.

Kick back and relax

Beechtree house was exactly what my family was looking for. We had kids ages 1.5-17, and plenty of space for all to hang out, eat, and sleep. The best part was the lake access with all the supplies to have a good time (canoe, kayak, life jackets, fishing poles) plus a fire pit and chairs. The house feels loved and loved in in the best way possible, with games, books, puzzles galore. We were close enough to Lake Michigan but felt like we had our own private slice of paradise. We highly recommend!

Perfect family getaway

The property was excellent: comfortable with all of the amenities we needed. We were 3 adults, one teenager, and two children, and we had excess space. The property is gorgeous, much of the back yard well-shaded even midday. The fishing on the lake was fantastic, and the foosball and ping pong table kept us occupied when we weren't at the lake. It's about 20 minutes to South Haven, which is just close/far enough. The neighbors are very friendly and kind. We didn't lack for anything. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Will definitely consider staying here again when we are back in the area.

Beautiful, quiet and peacefull

When you walk in the front door you are greeted with a stunning view of the lake, as the entire back of the house is windows. The kitchen is open and the adjacent sun room great for putting the kids to eat dinner and being able to see and hear them. Great property and layout, Hosts put a lot of thought into the amenities. The only disappointment was the fishing , the lake needs to be dredged , no one caught any fish, even going all over the lake in the boat.

Exceeded all expectations

We loved our stay over the long holiday weekend. The listing description doesn't even fully express the thoughtfulness the owners put into this property. They have literally thought of everything! Plenty of room for everyone (we had 7 adults) Loved the kayaks and enjoyed the breeze off the lake while lounging in the (3) hammocks. Location is perfect. Close to Saugatuck, South Haven, Van Buren Rec Area, horseback riding and so much more. If you get a chance try Frida's Cantina on 43 - delicious food and spirits. Can't wait to stay again in the future!

Perfect Family Getaway

We had an amazing family vacation this past July. everything was first class from the initial questions we had previous to booking and continued through the time we returned back home. very clean and it fit the needs of our family perfectly. My wife and I and our four adult children their spouses and grandkids had lots of room to sleep play and relax. With 5 couples needing their privacy at times the rooms were set up perfectly and had plenty of room for some blow up beds and a crib for the three grandkids. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need The view was beautiful from the living room down to the Lake and the beach and dock was perfect for all of us to be out there enjoying the kayaks, canoe, boat and the fishing which was terrific as we never went a day without catching multiple fish. The neighbors are very friendly and were a pleasure to talk with also. five stars and we hope to go back and make more family memories every year.

Great Vacation Spot for Grandkids!

We took our kids and grandkids to the Beech Tree Retreat; 6 adults and 5 children (ages 10 months - 14 years). It was perfect for our group. The kids spent hours playing in the sand and the water, and the older kids explored the lake with the kayaks and the canoe. Much of the sandy beach area is shaded, so we didn't have to worry about sunscreen as much as usual when we're at the beach. We had bonfires and s'mores nearly every night, and it was great having lots of firewood available. The adults and teens also enjoyed the hot tub every evening. On rainy days, the pool table, ping pong table, air hockey, and many games kept the kids entertained. The house is great, with lots of seating and enough table space for all of us to eat together. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking utensils, plates, silverware, and pots & pans you need to cook full family meals. The large washer and two dryers were great, as the kids played in the lake and then came inside to change multiple times each day. We all agreed we would love to come back to this house in the future. We highly recommend it!
