Always a pleasure
A quick trip to enjoy cold-weather fun in Harbor Country. We really enjoy staying at Katie & Steve’s house. Everything we need is there, whether we are using it as a home base while out and about or enjoying time relaxing at the house.

Wonderful Harbor Country Retreat
My family and I have been coming to Harbor Country for years and have stayed in a variety of different places. This one is among our favorites -- ideal location with proximity to the lake but also to Three Oaks and the wineries; great features like the hot tub and pool (though we were out of season for the pool), firepit and the spaciousness of the yard in general; indoor spaces that were comfortable and clearly very well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living area was an ideal place to chill out after a day of visiting all our favorite places. I loved the hammock in the backyard -- a simple thing but so impactful looking up at the fall colors of the trees that create a nice living fence along the property.

Great weekend in harbor country!!
We decided to take our pups apple picking and make a weekend of it. Katie & Mike’s getaway was a great home base! We visited the Schafer Apple farm near Baroda - the only farm we could find that still accepts dogs. Super great experience. The house as was centrally located with restaurants and groceries in easy reach. Look forward to visiting again during the summer when the really nice pool is open!!

Late season
Thank you for another wonderful stay at this family property. We are a multi-generational group and the property was perfect for us. We took advantage of the late season heated pool and hot tub and easy proximity to beaches, restaurants and shopping. Loved sunset at Cherry Beach - as recommended by the hosts.

Truly had everything
We had a family vacation as this was perfectly located between our kids and grandkids in different locations. Katie was super responsive to any questions we had. The house was very spacious for everyone and super clean. The entire family enjoyed the afternoons at the heated pool, the hot tub, watching the kids on the playscape and we could have bonfires at night. One of our favorite features was the hot outdoor shower. A very unique experience! Her wonderful neighbor stopped by and brought us homemade blueberry muffins. The recommendations for the nearby beaches, shopping, wineries and restaurants were extremely helpful! Everything is very close by. My family wants to come back again as an annual family vacation because it was a perfect getaway for all of us.

Girl's Weekend
The accommodations for our girl's weekend turned out wonderful at this property in Union Pier. The beds were all comfortable which is important for our aging group. We spent many hours each day of our 3-day weekend in the beautiful pool, and the living room furniture was quite comfortable for our hours of visiting and catching up. Lots of nearby restaurants and antique stores. We had a great time.

Pool + Privacy= THE BEST
We had the best time at this rental. The house is so clean, spacious and has literally the best appliances ever. The private, gated pool is perfect and the property has a giant back yard with a great hammock nestled in the back. We never saw any neighbors and felt a little off the grid (in a good way). The best part was the pool at night. The lights are amazing and we had a perfect view of the moon. I hope this property is available next year because we will definitely book again.

Hidden gem, perfect hosts
I feel like this house is a hidden treasure in this area. You're far enough away from the chaos of New Buffalo so that you don't feel overwhelmed but not so far that you can't be a part of the fun. The house itself is clean, orderly, and stocked with all that you need. Katie and her family are truly the best hosts - we had a power outage and of the renters in the neighborhood, we were the only ones whose hosts were actively trying to get us information. They just go above and beyond!
