Among the many tourist attractions in southwestern Michigan, this property is located within a 20-30 minute driving distance to over a dozen of Michigan's best wineries open year round.

Had a great stay with my kids and grandkids. They absolutely loved the pool and managed to catch a few fish off the pier. The house was big enough that we could spread out but still remain close. Definitely a good choice.
