Such a beautiful location! We enjoyed the fresh eggs, fruit and veggies every morning. The house was clean and welcoming and the hosts were kind and helpful. We hope to return!
We stayed at this property for a couple nights and it was very nice. There is a lot to do in the area. South Haven and Saugatuck are a short trip a way and there are a ton of small breweries and wineries in the area. Kids loved the hot tub and the chickens!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and and a great home base for our adventures in the area. We highly recommend this listing!
We loved our stay here. The location is just a short drive to either South Haven or Saugatuck and the property is beautiful. Our daughter loved the chickens and gathering eggs each day we were there. Would stay again!
We had a great time. We loved the place! The hot tub was relaxing! We spent time in Holland, Douglas Beach, Oval beach, and Saugatuck dunes. It was a quick trip. Our daughter loved/hated the chickens. Lol. House was exactly as posted-I thought it was better in person!
First, the property is beautiful and the finishes in the apartment are top notch. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked. Our son had a blast picking veggies in the garden, hunting for eggs and even got to try a pea fowl egg for the first time. We definitely hope to stay again when we are in the area!
We stayed for a couple days just to get away, check out some towns in the area, and have a hot tub available. We were pleased by the accommodations, it was more comfortable even than we expected from the listing, and we had a nice quiet stay. The chicken eggs were a very nice touch, and the location was only a short drive to a couple towns while still being out of the way. Communication was good, messages were answered quickly but otherwise we got to keep to ourselves. Just what we were looking for!
My children,10 and under, loved feeding the peacocks, chicken and fish. They also rode on the provided bikes all over the property whenever they could. The hosts were very responsive if I had a question. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. The cable tv and WiFi worked great. Kitchen and showers were well supplied. Quick 10 minutes away from several different towns and locations.
I was looking for a place for our family that was near different beach options that provided a slower pace than our typical day. This place was exactly what I had in mind. First off, the location was perfect (could not have been better). We were just off the interstate with easy access to some of our favorite beach towns (Grand Haven, Saugatuck, and South Haven). The hosts live on property, but it never once felt like they were intrusive. They were friendly, helpful, informative, and opened up their property in the most inviting ways. They provided eggs from their hens, food to feed the fish, tips for a nice hike behind their house, and the house was well stocked with the most comfortable beds! Our kids have very different personalities, but all of them had a sense of wander and awe as they explored the property throughout our stay. They spent hours building and rebuilding the provided 3d planet puzzles and loved being in the hot tub. Our youngest daughter even cried as we left our stay because she loved their duck, Carly, so much! She now has a stuffed animal duck named Carly and asked when we can come back. Thanks for a great experience; it was exactly what we needed!
