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.

Everything was organized and labeled. So many activities all over the property inside, and out for kids and adults. The boat and swim pad were big hits along with the ping pong, kayaks and paddle boards. The beach was perfect for young kids. We all had a great time!!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
This was our first stay at the house and we were extremely pleased. When we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful plantings / garden and how the yard was well manicured and taken care of. Once inside we were impressed on how very clean and well kept it was.
Inside:
There was beautiful woodwork throughout. Spacious and comfortable areas for hanging out, playing games and eating /dining for our crew. We took advantage of the 2 full sized fridges. There was even a work area for one of family members who had to work remotely, which was nice.
Fun stuff: The ping pong and shuffleboard tables were a hit. Lots of comfortable outdoor seating with great views of the lake. The small sandy beach area along with numerous toys was a big hit with the kids. And plenty of seating for adults to keep an eye on them.
A lot of us took advantage of the kayaks on the lake. The large floating pad and pontoon boat were likewise a big hit. There were plenty of life preservers for all sizes and ages. A couple of us used the kayaks and the dock to some fishing. The fire pit was nice for a peaceful evening of “smores”.
Chris was great to work with – quick and responsive.
