Buchanan Michigan Rental

This lovely house in Buchanan Michigan was a wonderful rental for our family get-together! It had plenty of room for the 7 of us and was nicely equipped and stocked for our visit. Our host (Kelly) was very helpful and responsive to our questions. We will definitely consider a return visit in the future.

Perfect Week with Family

The property was perfect for our birthday and anniversary celebration. The house, grounds, and nature trail are beautiful. We loved that it was centrally located to so many places we wanted to go during our Michigan vacation. We traveled to Saint Joseph, New Buffalo, and South Haven. We especially enjoyed the firepit, hot tub, and pool table. The hosts were also very kind, thoughtful and accommodating. I would love to plan and book another stay ☺

Wonderful gathering space for out of town family

We came from all over the country to get together and spend the weekend as a family. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us, and the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook, and we were close to wineries to go explore. Would definitely stay here again!

Ok

The house has bathrooms in each bedroom which was nice. There are no real walking trails on the property. The one trail is a short trail that narrows as the path goes. It could use some maintenance. The hammock broke which had a rusty hook and the wood had seen better days. Overall was ok but the price was overrated for what we received. We have stayed at better places for the same rate. We would not recommend this place to friends.

Family Gathering

The property was great for our family get together. Lots of room to spread out, and everyone had a place to sleep. The host was very accommodating. The location was great, as a lot of fun things to do short distances away. I would rent again.

ND Football Game Weekend

I was in town with a group of buddies. The place was great for our group. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to spend much time in the yard, but the house itself offered plenty of space. The basement provided room to hang out, play pool and watch a game and the hot tub felt really good after being out in the cold/wet all day. I'll definitely check on the availability of this place when I'm back in the area.
