Perfect house to celebrate a 60th birthday with friends and sisters! We had 20 people sleep here comfortably! Loved the long table in the dining room for meals together and games! Great sitting area outside by pool and campfire pit! Hot tub was spacious too! Property was clean and ready for us even before our 3pm check-in time. Property manager was helpful and in contact with us all time, even when power went out due to severe storms…the celebration continued! Easy walk to downtown to wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store. Highly recommend!
I had a very nice stay at this property, we had everything we needed for the stay and the owner even left us a bottle of wine aswell as a bottle of non alcoholic sparkling wine. I had a very nice stay and would definitely recommend!
We stayed for a weekend in the winter and had plenty of room and relaxations. Nice home and accommodations. Winery’s are near by. Summer time this property is a slam dunk!!
Our family absolutely loved this place! More than enough room for everyone and the pool is amazing! Very convenient location for exploring the area, easy to get to with none of the crazy traffic you find in Saugatuck or South Haven. We definitely would/will stay here again on another trip to the area.
Was a great place to get away and everything was as they said in the listing. All the amenities were thought out and made staying there quite easy. I especially liked the integrated house sound system.
My family of 20 stayed for 5 days. The pool was hit with all age groups. The house was great and very spacious. Can’t wait to book again. We really loved the location and we were able to explore west Michigan beaches with quick drive.
The house was exactly as it was described and more. Y friends and I really enjoyed the town and it was close to lots of fun adventures. Would definitely like to book the home again during the summer and enjoy all that the home and the area have to offer.
My friends and I loved our stay here! We came in the Springtime, so we did not get use of the pool. However, we loved having access to the hot tub and having such a large space to hang out. There were 20 of us and we all felt like there were enough spaces to have our own time to ourselves. We talked about how we all want to come yearly and do this again and again. We hope to return sometime this summer or next! Thanks, Rick, for an incredible stay!
We spent the weekend with our adult children and the space was perfect for our group. The backyard is secluded and very quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and fire pit. The house easily accommodated 6 couples. We will definitely return.
We were very impressed with the outdoor amenities of the property: pool, hot tub, fire circle, landscaping and all the pool accessories and outdoor furniture were great for family fun. The kitchen was very well stocked with every utensil and small appliance one could need. The interior of the house was a bit aged but adequate. Fennville is a very nice small town walking distance to grocery, restaurants and the library - which our kids enjoyed.
Looks like a lot of things were updated this year. A lot of new furniture, stuff in the basement, and kitchen equipment. Great location for family reunion and we have been booking here for years.
This house was a good size to accommodate our large family. It was well stocked with dishes, towels, bedding, pool toys, and lots of space to play.
The extra fee for the pool was a surprise, but we chose this place mostly for the pool and we spent many hours enjoying it.
The house was large and everyone had their own room. Made a fire both nights. The kitchen had everything we needed. We stayed in January and there was a big snow so we never left the house and just hung out and visited. Was a great weekend. Would stay at this house again.
This is a wonderful property! The pool is great for relaxing and you feel like you’re surrounded by nature. The garden that surrounds the outdoor spaces adds to a peaceful experience. At nights you can see many stars as you sit around the fire pit. The house has so much to offer too and you have everything you need in the kitchen. We had a great time sitting at the large table for dinner. The host is great and communication was excellent! Thanks!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience staying at this property. We had a group of 17 girls and each and every one of us couldn’t stop raving about the house and all of the amenities. We are already planning a summer trip with our families next year! Rick is attentive and quick with his responses. The house and outdoor areas had plenty of space for our big group. The pool and hot tub are big and clean. There are tons of floats and items for the pool. The house is in a nice friendly neighborhood. From start to finish, it was just wonderful experience and we had a great time.
We had a 4-day mini family reunion stay at Allegan Fields. The home was great! Rick, the host, was wonderful to work with. He was so quick to respond to any questions. There was plenty of room for everyone. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked. They have a table that accommodated our entire group! The most popular parts of the house were the heated pool, the hot tub and the basement recreation room. The house is very comfortable. We were able to relax and just enjoy each other. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay at Allegan Fields. I can’t speak enough to how amazing this property is. There is so much to do for everyone! The outdoor area alone makes this worth the booking. Inside, the house is great for groups with many big areas for everyone to gather while there are plenty of areas for smaller gatherings or getting some alone time. The host was easy to work with, EXTREMELY helpful, and the house was clean. There were very few things we needed for our stay. We also appreciated being close to downtown Fennville including being able to get groceries at Wagoners and fresh tortillas for taco night at Las Brazas. Only a few minutes from nice beaches too. Highly recommend this place for any trip you need!
My family and i stayed here for our 2024 family vacation. We had the most wonderful time!! The house was perfect for all 19 of us! And exactly as advertised.
We cooked every day, the kitchen accommodations were wonderful and plentiful for cooking for large groups. We had 9 children (ages 11months to 12yo) and 10 adults. My parents, who are in their 80s, enjoyed the porch swing daily.
The many chairs around the fire pit fit us perfectly! We all throughly enjoyed the pool and all the pool toys provided!
This experience was 10 out of 10! Would definitely rent this property again!!
This house wound up being an excellent spot for my friends and I. Rick was communicative and helpful before and during the stay. Checking in was simple and clear. Check out was easy. We did need to clean many of the dishes, pans and silverware we used through the stay before we used them. Some of the rooms were not quite as clean as we would have hoped, but it wasn’t a major issue. I hope they add different exterior lights by the pool to help making hanging out outside easier. The house had many many, many of the things we needed and the group all agreed we appreciated its amenities and location.
My group does a yearly trip to a destination and we chose fennville for this year's. The property has everything you need (pool, jacuzzi, bon fire pits, full amentity kitchen, etc) and just a stones throw from downtown fennville.
The property itself was amazing and spacious. The owner, Rick, and the property, manager, Yolanda, were both helpful with any questions or accommodations.
I would highly recommend again. We usually go out and about to different nearby cities, but we never left the house as everything we needed was there.
11/10.
This is the 2nd time we've stayed at ALLEGAN FIELDS. We bring a group of friends and a couple of kids for a few nights leading up to the New Year. We always find the house to have what we need (except for the slowest drip coffee maker on the planet ;) ) A hot tub, lots of space, a fireplace, 2 fridges and plenty of towels and creature comforts to make the vibes just right. The town offers grocery + dining options and Douglas/Saugatuck is close by when people wanted to do a little shopping.
One of the best features of the area is a hike close to the Oxbow House for some time outside, walking in the woods and a beautiful view of the lake.
We had a great stay. Fourteen of our family stayed for the week. We had teenagers that loved the pool, cool pool noodles, ping pong table, and pac man games. (Note that we paid extra to have the pool heated which was a good idea.) Adults liked that the kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked a lot. Generous towel supply was much appreciated. Backyard fire pit was the best we've experienced in our 20 years of renting vacation spaces. Also loved the big backyard umbrellas. We also had an issue with a tripped circuit. Communication with the owner was prompt and considerate and the problem was fixed in a few hours. We would come back again.
We picked this location based on the location being near our Skate Ministry Leadership Conference. The house is very spacious, plenary of bedrooms, bathrooms, and definitely a really big dining room that seated our entire group during the weekend. Backyard has a pool and hot tub. You can tell that the owners work hard in making this place special and have thought through many things for their guests.
The deck is being sanded and refinished which will only add to the awesome backyard area.
Just bring your groceries and enjoy each other’s company. Will definitely stay again.

Six adults with four children between 4 and 1. The house exeeded expectations on roominess and pool/beach items. The house shows wear and tear but clean and funtional with ample cooking untensils. The beds were vey comfortable. The hot tub was a big hit. Only less then possitive items were the cleanliness of pool. Surface water was clean but pool bottom had hair and other debris. And the jacuzzi jets in master bath did not work, but this was known prior to visit.
