The property is all in the name. Peaceful, quiet, and rejuvenating! Sunrise in the spa was the greatest way to decompress and reset. Families will have a memorable time fishing, canoeing, swimming, playing board games, and exploring. Mona is timely in her communication, personable, and knowledgeable about the local hot spots! We cannot wait to come back to this gem! Thank you again for sharing your home! ##### Danielle S.

Good communication with Mona & speedy correction of concerns or answers to questions. Loved swimming in the private lake, or just sitting on the dock. Close to multiple activities of choice, perfect scenery of vineyards & orchirds on the drives. Wish we could have used the upper deck, but understand rationale-- same type of cocerns with my childhood home. Would love to see the addition of a railing on the stairs down to the lake. ##### Linda V. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc B.

We had 2 adults, 5 kids and 2 dogs. We did not feel cramped. The house itself is lovely and it is situated on a beautiful, quiet lake where the houses are set back. The hot tub was fantastic! It is a short drive to Warren Dune State Park and Weko Beach in Bridgman, which is a great dog-friendly beach. The house is also so close to Dablon Vineyard that you could walk there. Also, the host was very kind and helpful. We highly recommend! ##### Marc B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason E.

The location afforded relaxation for everyone. The "Welcome Gift"... a complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely gesture. The house was well appointed, the pantry and spice cupboard stocked. The four seasons room was spacious for dining and family game nights. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided. The hot tub was clean, the lake calm and peaceful. Beach towels for everyone was also very nice. It was fun to get out in the boat and catch a few fish with my folks and paddling with my son in the canoe was awesome.. Overall... A great time and a great location! ##### Jason E. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen W.

Well appointed kitchen. Great linens and pillows. Cool woodsy hot tub with changing colorer lights. Fabulous correspondence with owners. Easy check in and out. Highly recommend morning coffee with sunrise on the dock. Note: the upper balcony attached to master bedroom is not accessible - our only disappointment with the property. Perfect for all ages - our group ranged from 25 to 55. Loved the wineries, beaches, dunes, trails and fun shops nearby! Mona is a delightful host and gave us some excellent recommendations for food and fun! ##### Jen W.
