This beautiful property exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in a beautiful community. The house is clean and stocked with all the amenities and the beds are comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful, comfortable house with lovely decorating and a great modern kitchen. Designed for larger groups, there was plenty of room for our family of nine. The amenities were well thought out and the owners seemed to anticipate how best to facilitate comfort and fun. Would definitely go again and so would our whole group.
The house was amazing! It was very well clean and very spacious. The pool was also very warm. I hate going to places with a heated pool and it not being warm but this was perfect. It was a few minutes from town. Even while having no power and being on the house generator the house held up well. We will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Old Owl House! The layout is great for our large family group. Lots of room to visit, play, sleep, cook and eat. The pool and the outdoor lounging and seating areas are fantastic and we spent a lot of time there. The fire pit, wooded area, lush lawn and long driveway with a basketball hoop were a big hit! We loved walking to the lake, especially for the sunsets. Proximity to Douglas Beach, Douglas and Saugatuck was another positive. We’re already planning another summer stay at the house.
This house is new and beautiful. We loved the interior design. The house fit our group of 6 families comfortably. We enjoyed making meals in the kitchen and lounging comfortably on the main floor and downstairs. The hot tub was a big plus. Lake Michigan is a few steps away. Although we went in the wintertime, the pool is a great addition and must make for an awesome vacation in the summertime. Hosts were attentive and the neighborhood very peaceful. We hope to come back again in the summer time!
The Old Owl House is clean and modern. My wife and I four children + spouses and four grandchildren had a wonderful time, enjoying the pool, fire pit and proximity to Lake Michigan. Hot tub was a slight disappointment as we couldn't seem to get it much warmer than the pool. Service as great as Chad was there promptly remedy the ice maker in the main refrigerator and one other minor issue.
This place exceeded our expectations. We were a family group of 13 adults and one toddler and all the spaces were comfortable for hanging out, cooking/eating, and sleeping. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, outdoor fire, screened-in porch, downstairs game room, cornhole game, quick walk to the lake, walks along Lakeshore Drive, and quick access to Douglas and Saugatuck.
For potential visitors, our activities were: Hiked Mt Baldy, fishing charter (caught King Salmon to feed us all x 3), kayaking Kalamazoo River, Saugatuck dune ride, pontoon boat rental for the evening, food tour, brewery tour.
This was our first ever family vacation with our terminally ill daughter and we were a bit nervous to say the least. However; upon arrival our minds were quickly put at ease, as the owner had literally thought of everything! Old Owl is a beautiful home with a layout that was perfect for a group of 14 people ranging from 18 months to 87! The property manager and owner were INCREDIBLE to work with; From booking our stay, to the clear and simple check in process, they answered all questions in a timely manner and were always willing to help in any possible way they could. The accommodations were second to none and we couldn’t be more grateful for the cherished memories we created at this beautiful home! We’ll definitely be booking again!
Our stay in Old Owl was superlative in every respect. As a matter of fact, everything was in such perfect condition, we would have thought we were the first guests had we not seen the guest book and reviews. The home was beautifully and comfortably furnished, with plenty of private space for our 13 family members spanning three generations. The heated pool and its environs were expansive and impeccably maintained, as was the fire pit. And the home’s cozy and private set back from the road allowed the little kids to safely scoot and ride bikes without traffic worries. The property is located in a quiet enclave of lovely resort homes, making the 4 minute walk down the drive to see the sunset a nightly must. We all hope for a return visit next year!
GREAT vacation rental! We gathered our family at this beautiful house for a summer reunion. Our lively youngsters were in the huge, heated pool from morning 'til night.
Brett, the owner, and Chadd, the local manager, have outfitted this house with everything you want and need for a comfortable vacation. Smaller touches that made a BIG difference impressed me. For example, there are more than enough good beach towels for everyone. There were lots of lightweight chairs to take to the beach. There are plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware so you don't run short trying to serve one meal. We mostly used the high quality and attractive plastic dishes although there are glass dishes, too.
The layout of the house includes space to gather as a group and places to retreat for quiet time.
The house is spotlessly clean. The decorating is tasteful. The furniture, including the beds, is so comfortable. With counter stools there is enough room for everyone to sit and join in group meals.
Old Owl's location, literally at the end of the road, felt secluded and private.
We hope to return in the future to enjoy this idyllic home!
Really lovely, family friendly home. Clean, well appointed inside and out with kind, helpful management. The pool is great. There is lots to do at the house and in the area for young and old!
We hosted my wife’s 40th with 4 other couples. The home was exactly as advertised and the property management was most helpful and communicated whenever we had questions. Would stay here again!!!!!
This was the perfect place for our family getaway…there is something for everyone…fabulous pool and patio, hot tub, lots of space, beautiful setting, ping pong, Pac-Man, big tv for hockey games, great location! We had a memorable stay and the property managers were quick to reply to our questions in a friendly way. Everyone had lots of space and loved the time together!
My group of friends and I had the best time at this house! They have thought of everything you could want out of a house while on vacation, there wasn't anything missing the whole weekend we were there. Clean as a whistle, designer finishes, it was such a delight to be able to stay there. We can't wait to get back for another stay soon!
Of all the VRBO places we have stayed at over the years this was the best managed and clearest in communication. The property is absolutely wonderful and provides space for being together but also places of quiet and rest. Will definitely want to return!
Our stay at the Old Owl was a 10/10. Everything fromBooking to check-out was seemless. The amenities of the house were great and everything was in perfect condition. We were a group of 13 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. Both Brett and the property manager were attentive and available whenever we had a question or needed something. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything you could need! We definitely plan on visiting the Old Owl again !
This house is fantastic, so much space for everyone! Everything you need and then some, they thought of everything when stocking this house for guests. Such an amazing location too! This home was a gem of a find and we will definitely be back! The host was very responsive to all our inquiries/questions, it was perfect! Thanks
A Perfect House for a Multi-generational Family Gathering!
This is our family's second summer spending a week in this most special house! The pool and the hot tub make perfect early morning and late afternoon activities for all and the house's proximity to the beaches, hiking, boating, fruit picking, and other activities ( we loved the Art Barn on our rainy day!)- not to mention many great near-by eateries - continue to make this house a family favorite gathering spot. We hope to return again next summer!
Booking the house was easy. Unfortunately, they had a gas outage in the area of the home two days before we were supposed to arrive from out of state. Brett called me with frequent updates which was wonderful, plenty of time to book another place if we were worried. The gas was turned on the evening we arrived. The stay was amazing. Thanks Brett!
