Clean and modern/comfortable stay

We really felt comfortable in this space - the air conditioning worked well except it was not evenly distributed throughout the bedrooms, where they were a bit warmer than the living room areas of the doors were shut.

Good location - great value!

Worked perfectly for our family reunion. We had 3 families in the vicinity. The Howell Park beach quiet, nice, river kayaking in Dowagiac a beautiful 2 hr trip, the golf course behind the home was very accommodating especially free clubs for travelers. Ice cream at the course yumm! We had a dinner out at the Holden Green Tavern with our group of 18. A great time and value!! We wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!

Very nice home in a beautiful community!

Perfect for large single family long weekend getaway. We enjoyed renting a fishing boat from the nearby marina, put the lovely kitchen and grill to good use, and soaked in all the Cass County charm we could! We even took the little drive over to Benton Harbor to see Lake Michigan. Every minute we spent at the property from lounging around in the early afternoon’s, to cooking dinners, to playing games into the night felt as close to being at home while being away from home!

Wonderful Time

Nice place to get away to for the week. Got quite a bit of golf in at nearby courses. Hampshire Golf Club - Dogwood course was our favorite. Enjoyed our short walk out the back door for ice cream at the pro-shop! Couple of questions came up during our stay and Caitlin was very responsive.

For a place to stay close to the lake, it was affordable, clean and well stocked.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent there again.

This place has it all

Perfect family getaway spot with indoor and outdoor space to relax or gather. The layout of the house was ideal for our family of 4. The beach was only a short walk or drive but we equally enjoyed just sitting in the backyard drinking coffee and watching golfers. The place was well stocked with everything we needed and updated in all the right places. We hope to return again for more family memories!

Perfect location

We stayed at this great home for a local wedding. Everything was as listed and this home was perfect for our needs. Close to Diamond Lake and the golf course was right behind us. They have great ice cream at the golf course too. We appreciated the air conditioning also on those hot days. If you are looking for a perfect spot, this is it.

Wonderful stay.

We used the property so me and my family would be able to sleep near my brothers home when visiting. The bed was so comfortable and I only wish I would have had time to use the beautiful tub or shower. This was a great stay and the check in was so easy !!
