We were 15 adult family members and there was plenty of room for all of us. The only negative thing was we were to rent the pontoon for three days and everyone was excited about this, especially the fishermen.. Unfortunately when we arrived we were advised the pontoon had engine problems and we could not use it. We were not advised any further if repairs could be done. ##### Alice S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua S. Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise This home has it all! We made the home our "base of operations" for my wife's 40th birthday party and it did not disappoint. We had 17 adults stay in the home and at no point did it ever feel cramped or crowded. Granted, we spent most of our time outside, which was also amazing. The deck gazebo was an absolute hit, and a great relief from the sun throughout the weekend. The hosts, Janice and David, were incredible. Incredible attentive and responsive, they did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We did have an issue with the pontoon boat stalling, but Janice and David refunded me immediately (without me asking for it) to recitfy the situation. I could not recommend this property more. If you are looking for something close to South Haven, but far enough way to feel "remote," this is your place. 5 stars all the way around. ##### Joshua S.

Our host was so prompt in returning answers to our questions beforehand. Plenty of room to spread out. Beds were good. Supplies were good. Enough bathrooms. Lake was perfect for the kids and we made use of the kayaks. We brought fishing poles and some children caught fish. Close enough to Lake Michigan too that the five families got there to enjoy a morning. The spacious deck and gazebo were wonderful for the adults to visit out there late into the evening after the children went to bed. We don’t know if the TV reception was good or not because we were too busy enjoying everything to turn those on. 😁 Thank you Janis! ##### Laurie V.

Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Saddle Lake lakehouse We stayed here for a family wedding. We had 20 to 22 people at the house and everyone agreed it was the perfect layout and we would definitely stay again. The lake water was warm. It is sandy near the shore so great to float or sit in the water, but if you want a swimming lake, this isn't it. It was great for fishing and kids could fish right off the dock! It's close to Lake Michigan, so we enjoyed our day swimming at Warren Dunes, an amazing state Park. The kitchen and dining area is spacious and the deck on the back with the gazebo was amazing. The only complaints from the group was the old style TV in the living room that did not have HDMI and the very spotty Wi-Fi. Don't plan on a working vacay if you need Internet. The beds were comfortable, the house was super clean with very comfortable furniture and the owner was so accommodating, which we very much appreciated. We also really appreciated all of the toys available for our 4 year old granddaughter to play with! ##### Tina M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vickie C. Sep 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Seniors just Wining & Brewing The house was great! Large kitchen, wonderful deck, comfy beds. Two large bathrooms with deep tubs (showers included). Third bath has a bit of a weird layout with separate shower room, separate toilet room and for a sink it's the laundry sink beside the washer & dryer. It works tho if you're not finicky about brushing your teeth in a deep sink 😊. Both tubs & the shower were a bit slippery for us senior citizens to try to get out of after a shower without grab bars and non-slip flooring or mats. I did like the fact that upon arrival each bed had a towel & washcloth on it for guest, a very nice touch. The king bedroom that says is accessible through the garage is separated from the main part of the house and the only access is thru the garage or the deck. Nice room but no privacy curtain on the door to the deck. Beautiful setting on the lake, so relaxing. If you're thinking of staying at this house, don't hesitate, do it!! No, it's not perfect but then, I've yet to stay in a perfect place and I've stayed in VRBO homes in several countries and across the USA. This was the cleanest home I've ever stayed in by far. My only concern was the slick tub/shower situation. ##### Vickie C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick M. Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a large family Perfect house for our family of 16, which included 8 adults and 8 kids age 12 and under. The house was very clean on our arrival and is tastefully decorated and furnished.There is plenty of room in multiple levels so you don't feel crowded at all. The air conditioning was top notch throughout the house. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals and two large tables for seating everyone.The deck is massive and had a spacious gazebo which is in the shade during peak sun. All the book readers hung out here. The kids seemed to gravitate to the upper loft where they hung out and watched movies. There is a neat little play area in the basement with a lot of toys that the younger kids played with. We found the internet adequate, but it did slow quite a bit during heavy use, and it really drops right outside the house. The yard leading to the lake is huge, however this seems to be a preferred spot for geese. A large flock were there when we arrived and trashed the lawn with their droppings. It took awhile to clean up the mess using a scoop that was on hand. They will keep coming back so you have to be on guard. The lake water was clean and shallow near the edge but there are slippery rocks as you try to enter the lake. Past the pier it's very weedy and not pleasant for swimming. Excellent fishing for kids off the end of the pier. The fish practically jump on the hook. Overall we loved the house and are making plans to go back next year. ##### Patrick M.
