Perfect for big groups

We stayed at this home with my children, their spouses, grandchild, and a few of the wedding party, for my son's wedding nearby. The house was perfect for big meals, yard games and plenty of room to spread out for makeup and hair! Wish we had more time to spend there and enjoy all it had to offer!

Perfect for Large Families

We love staying at Gray Haven. This was our second visit and we already have the home reserved for another year. We love having a large kitchen to prepare meals, a dining table that will fit everyone together and all the places we can relax around the house. The host is quick to respond and very friendly. Gray Haven is perfect for large family gatherings!

A spot with great indoors and outdoors

This house is a wonderful place for a family trip. Its size and delightfully unusual layout (including its extremely large number of beds and enormous great room) are hard to describe adequately. Also worthy of note is the kitchen, which was equipped with everything even a gourmet chef could dream about. Perhaps the best part, though, is the family-oriented outdoor areas, including a terffic heated swimming pool (which we stayed in for entire afternoons) and deck, a large covered porch, a fire pit with a gargantuan quantity of firewood and a huge grassy play area made for kids and dogs. Even with some rainy weather, we could not have had a better long weekend.

Great House for Large groups

This house is outstanding for large groups. The central room for meeting, dining and watching tv, etc is huge and has several places to sit and visit. The bedrooms are great and the number of bathrooms is great as well. The pool was just perfect for our crew with the maximum depth good for our smaller children but deep enough for all to enjoy. The fire pit was great for smores and visiting at night. The playground was great as well. The whole house had enough gates to prevent falls from our children and the outside yard was huge with great privacy. Plenty of toys, seating and overall joy in the whole house. I recommend this house for sure.

Great big house!

Our family of 12 adults and 11 kids stayed at this amazing house over a long weekend for a family get together. There was space to spread out, board games, toys, a playground, fire pit (lots of wood too) and large yard, pool and deck area. The huge kitchen and tables made meal times and storing all the food and drinks easy. Microwave, coffee machine, large freezer, mixer, lots of cooking utensils and plenty of plates, bowls, and silverware for all of us. The grocery store is only a few miles away if anything is needed. We really enjoyed hanging out on the porch and watching the kids play. The pool and playground are fenced in. The house sits back off the road allowing our dog and grandkids to run around and have fun freely. It’s clean, nicely decorated and there were TVs in every bedroom (although not a ton of free channels). The beds were comfortable, but there is only one queen on the main floor. All the other beds are either up or down stairs. One loft is by ladder only. No problem for most, but it was clear which bedroom grandma and grandpa had to have. Plenty of bathrooms (3 toilets on the main floor and 2 downstairs). Laundry is also downstairs. There were more than enough bath towels and amenities. The owner was also close by and very attentive. There are tons of things to do in the area including the beach, a water course, indoor waterpark, blueberry picking and more. We explored a little, but mostly just had a fabulous time being all together in this great big house.

Fantastic stay

Fantastic stay for a yearly family reunion! Large open dining area/ living room (and multiple board games/ toys), huge kitchen for cooking/ cleaning (with everything you need, including griddle for pancakes, tea/ coffee selection, welcome goodies, and grilling tools), and pool with locked fence (child safety!). Secluded area surrounded by woods. Easy check-in/ check-out process. Great communication with owner. We did not leave the house all weekend. Definitely recommend!

2024 Cronister Family Vaca

Excellent! Country Estates was very comfortable and accommodated our four families. It was well supplied with what we needed and was very nicely decorated. The kids enjoyed the larger heated pool and we played outdoor games on the patio. Adults enjoyed hanging out at the fire pit in the evenings.

Beautiful property; perfect for large gatherings

Our family of 17 loved our stay at this property. The house has a unique design which allows for additional privacy (and fun!) by its layout. The kids loved the lofts; we all loved sitting on the porch area. The playscape (and really the whole house) is larger than it appears in the photos, as is the pool. The side yard is nicely mowed allowing for yard games and activities. The kitchen is well supplied for cooking. We had several questions in advance of our stay and the owner was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this location!!

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location, Great Host

Our family of 20 (grandparents, kids, grandkids) loved this house! The house had plenty of space to spread out when we were stuck inside on rainy days. There are so many areas to lounge, play board games, and for the kids to run around. The kitchen is huge! We had 8 adults cooking at once and still had room for more. The house was very clean and well maintained and the host was welcoming. We already booked for next year!

Gorgeous!!

We booked this property for our bridal party during our wedding weekend.The house is absolutely gorgeous, clean, and spacious. We had 17 adults total staying there and we had so much room to spread out and enjoy ourselves! We enjoyed a bonfire with everyone sitting outside, chilling on the porch in the evenings, swimming in the pool during the day, and hanging out in the massive kitchen. My parents booked the property next door which was so nice having them right down the driveway. It's super close to the nearby wedding venues and downtown St. Joseph. Highly recommend!

Friends getaway!

Our large group stayed here to celebrate with frie ds before our upcoming wedding. We wanted a relaxing weekend and that's exactly what we got!! The house was clean, well maintained, and stocked with all of the essentials. The pool was clean and ready for use. The owners were easily accessible by phone and messaging theough VRBO. The only (very minor) downfall was the lack of internet. We had planned some games/activities that required wifi that we were unable to complete. No worries though because they had plenty of other games and activities available. Our friends are already talking about returning next summer! Highly recommend!

Great property for a family!

My only concern is that two of the”bedrooms” were lofts, one of which we could not use due to the ladder access and the ages (70+ and <5) of our family. Otherwise we had a great time. Close to lake Michigan and South Haven- plan to return!

50th wedding anniversary

The property was everything we thought it would be and more. We drove up from South Florida for our anniversary. We chose this instead of a big hall party so we could spend some quality time and too make memories with our children, grand kids and couple of the boys girlfriends. Very clean and spacious. Eric was great and readily available. He even went out of his way to bring us a few extension cords for movie night outside by the fire. We HIGHLY recommend this property.

True Haven

Our family could not have experienced a more wonderful time together at Gray Haven. This was our first group trip with our entire crew, and from start to finish, Eric and Paula’s home was a true delight. The moment the kids (of all ages) entered the home, we were off to the races with the delight of all the opportunities before us. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, huge yard with all of the games available, fire pit conversations, the cook’s kitchen, the piano and the beauty of the home itself. Such a blessing and a time of recreation as well as relaxation. Thank you!
