Chris was great and the house was so clean!

Owner was an excellent communicator prior to our arrival and throughout our visit. Beautiful property, well equipped for our group of 10. Lots of lake toys, chairs and sitting areas outside.

Such a wonderful place and host!! We had the best family week being lake people with sand castles, swimming, pontoon, fishing, kayaking, and campfires! The house is perfect for a bigger group like ourselves (10 adults and 3 grandkids) with loads of sleeping options. Chris was the most responsive host with very quick replies to any questions! Welll stocked kitchen, 2 refrigerators and nice seating for meals inside and outside made staying in for all meals a breeze. We also enjoyed the bike trail nearby into South Haven. Again, such a perfect place and thank you to Chris for sharing his slice of paradise with us!!

My family had such a great time at our Grand Junction Vacation. The owner was awesome! He responded promptly to any questions that we had. The house fit our needs perfectly. The lake was not that large but we did enjoy our boat rides on the pontoon. Swimming was excellent. I would definitely stay here again.
