The biggest hit was fishing off deck with Grandpa! Clean and roomy. We would definitely stay again. ##### Kris B.

We didn't end up doing any fishing at Lake Van Auken because we ended up spending most of our time in South Haven or St. Joseph. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris N., Vicksburg Jul 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Getaway Lovely spot away from it all.

Enjoyed yard games, making smores and visiting around the fire pit, grilling on the deck, kayaking and fishing the lake. Great location for lots of area attractions in easy driving distance. Highly recommend this place especially for family groups. Jack Hennessy is a great host. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max Y.

The house is very very well stocked with cooking appliances/utensils, board games, towels and toiletries. Also, the beds were more plentiful....atleast 2 king beds! The hosts were extremely accommodating and helped answer any questions we had. It is a bit tough to spend time in the evening outside with the bugs, but this is a great house if you're looking to spend time out by water and see the stars at night. ##### Max Y.

I loved spending our evenings out by the fire and our early mornings fishing from the provided kayaks. Loved the 1/2 bthrm on the main level! The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms had everything you needed and more! The drive to the beach was a little longer than what were used to but the large yard, firepit and lake makes it worth the drive. Also, easy to communicate with!

Lovely home with great bedroom arrangements. Excllent Wifi service. TV was not a true Smart TV. Was not able to access the internet from the TV. This is the farthest we have stayed from St. Joe but not to inconvenient. You need to add a Keurig coffee maker. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your home had a little bit of something for everyone.Thanks for the late check out. I picked up a large screw in my tire and it was flat when we started to leave. I did not have a spare but did have a flat tire repair kit. Used your air pump to pump the gel into the tire and reinflate the tire. I drove it to Fairplane and bought a new tire. Thanks We are back home in Kentuky safe, sound, and satisfied. ##### Jerry J.

Plenty of room to spread out our multi-generational family. The kids loved using the kayaks on the little lake behind the house. 20 min from Lake Michigan beachfront towns. A couple of things to note: the playroom with the futon is connected to the master bedroom, so you have to walk through the bedroom to get to the playroom. Also, there is a 2nd, smaller master bedroom with bathroom on the main floor. I must not have read the description clearly because I assigned my parents that room before arrival thinking all but the upstairs master bathroom opened to the hall. With the 2 master baths that leaves the other 3 bedrooms (8 people in our case) sharing the remaining full bathroom upstairs and half bath downstairs. Not a huge deal, but required some coordination since my parents went to bed early and my sister and her small kids were in the master upstairs. Overall a very nice rental. The host was attentive, texting me daily to make sure everything was okay. Will stay here again if we're back in the area. ##### Tricia J.

The house was the PERFECT place to hold us through the intense and emotional sessions, with plenty of gathering space to be together, and enough spaces for everyone to break off and process individually and in smaller groups. The back yard is incredible and we even had a fire under the stars in the fire pit. Everyone enjoyed the lake dock, and we frequently walked out there to process, and be with nature. We cooked soups, and beautiful breakfast meals, we had lasagna, and baked fresh brownies and corn bread and had everything needed to make all these meals delicious and fresh. There was two fridges one in the house and one in the garage that kept the beverages cold. There were kayaks in the garage that we took out to play with. No issues with hot water, and they had plenty of clean bottles drinking water on hand. Lots of towels for showers. The house had a feel of summertime, and everyone loved the patio deck outside the kitchen to gather post meals and in between sessions. We cannot wait to come back to this secluded paradise. ##### Lynelle F. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marilyn L.

Everything at the property was suited for large gatherings and it made for a really comfortable weekend. As other have noted, the owner has everything you'd need to "live" in the house for your trip. The bottled water was a great touch and saved us from hauling a bunch of heavy water jugs with us or water bottles that will just end up being single use plastics. I will add this to the review as It was something I was looking for and didn't get much info on... We only fished for a couple of hours all weekend and in those couple of hours on a lake we had never fished caught a solid 5lb largemouth. We'd wished we put more time into fishing. The place is very secluded which was great for us but might not be for some so FYI. ##### Jerome P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy O.

The home is big and very clean, the bedrooms and bathrooms are a great size and the bedding is very soft. We stayed for a week and other than the weather being ridiculously hot while we were there the air conditioning was a welcome reprieve from the sun and heat. We had a great time just wished there was a nice beach on the property but we were able to get out past the lilypads and then the water was nice and clear and the grandkids loved it. Nights were nice as we had visits from the tree frogs and we all enjoyed their company and watching them on the windows from the inside and out. The playroom was great for the kids and kept them busy when we stayed in and they loved sleeping in there. Toys & games they didn't have were great, they learned something new just about every day. You won't be bored that's for sure with so much to do and the wildlife to watch. The kayaks were used daily by just about everyone, the fire pit was great for s'mores and just relaxing. Mosquitoes weren't as bad as was mentioned by someone else but we had bug wipes so it worked out great. The owners felt like friends right from the beginning and even being on their own vacation they were very available for anything you needed or questions you had. I would definitely recommend staying here and enjoying the beautiful, quiet country life. ##### Michelle K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark C., Bourbon , In. Aug 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent 3 day get away Perfect place to rest and enjoy the family . GPS took us right to property. House very clean , laid out nice and it has everything you need. Host communicated quickly . Would do it again!!! Ideas: Blinds on upstairs bedroom windows that face eastward. Ceiling Fire alarm near kitchen dining room is faulty. Tried 3 different batteries and still chirped. I’d replace the unit itself. Possibly add some gravel on roadway/ private driveway. Pretty muddy when raining with deep pot holes. These are minor things. Overall very very nice house and property. ##### Mark C.
