The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked.The upstairs was warm at night but there were fans provided.The pool was great. It's a short walk from the house and had plenty of outdoor water toys and outdoor furniture. It was nice having a washer and dryer on site.The firepit area was great for making s'mores with plenty of of seating.

My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. Check-in was very easy. The instructions and communication from the management company were thorough and exceeded my expectations. The house was clean and felt like a “home.” We enjoyed walking the property and all it had to offer - especially the pool, hot tub, front porch, and screened in porch. We definitely hope to make a return visit.

We just returned from a stay with 6 adults and 2 children. We had a blast! The pool was utilized a LOT and we love the patio with the wind chimes and beautiful garden. Based on reviews and information from the company, we had more stuff packed than what we needed (toilet paper, paper towel). Communication was great! The upstairs was hot because it was super humid outside and the suggestion was to use more fans, but other than that, our stay was amazing! Clean, well stocked, great space. Would definitely visit again!

This was the perfect place to get away for a girls trip. It felt very secluded, and the property was beautiful. Location was good, you are within 10-20 minutes to a lot of places to visit. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend away!

We absolutely loved staying at Thorndale. Having a pool & hot tub at the house was such an added bonus! The property was very relaxing & the house was such a comfy spot for our family. We arrived at the house a few minutes early, but Johnny helped us in & visited with us as he did a final check of the house. It was a very sweet welcome!

The owners have taken pains to provide good quality equipment in evert way. Good kitchen equipment, pool toys, games. There is space to spread out and for several family members to work of necessary. The location is not in a town, but we found it easy to go into Fennville, Douglas and Saugatuck.

Cozy house in the farm country of Michigan. Big enough for our family of six but compact enough to foster togetherness. Fenced in pool is a high point with a beautiful tree-d lot. The house is clean and in good condition which makes it comfortable. Close to fruit picking orchards, the coastal town of Saugatuck, and lots of local activities, it's a very nice vacation spot.

The house & property were beautiful! Plenty of space for a group of 10. Very clean. We loved all the different seating areas and all the outdoor space. Great star gazing. It was nice not being super close to neighbors. But still a quick drive to Virtue Cider and also into Downtown Saugatuck. Easy check-in & check-out process. Would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful home with nice artistic touches. Lots of room in and out of the house. Also, we loved the location in Fennville. The house is private, but only a few minutes from many of the nearby towns for shopping, sightseeing, etc.

My friends and I enjoyed the property the picture doesn't do justice there's a lot of space and a lot of land. The hot tub and the fire pit was one of the perks why we ended up getting that place. There is small towns nearby but we mainly ate in saugatuck where there was cute little shops and lots of fancy places to eat and shop. I've read some reviews where they said you need to bring seasonings they ended up having that there they also have blow dryers and the bathrooms and laundry pods for laundry they had an air fryer coffee maker toaster pretty much anything you'll need in the kitchen they have ice already made from the ice maker in the freezer and some courtesy shampoo and body soap. They even had fire pit sticks for s'mores and complimentary wood My friend and I absolutely love this place.

My husband and 2 sons age 11 and 17 stayed at the property for 5 nights. The property was stunning. The owners have paid great attention to every detail to create a beautiful and relaxing retreat. The decor features local art and area specific antiques. The home was extremely clean and all sheets and towels were new and fresh. The outdoor space was well thought out with large mature trees with wind chimes that gave the sense of being at a spa retreat with total privacy which I loved. The pool area was tastefully decorated with quality outdoor furnishings.

Beautiful Rustic farmhouse, tucked away on a huge plot of land. Very private and peaceful. Nice size pool, hot tub, lots of nature to explore. About a 10- 15 minute drive to town.

The home and yard are lovely; we especially enjoyed the pool, and the many places to sit and relax outdoors. The kitchen is a warm, welcoming, and well appointed gathering spot— but it was nice to also have a variety of comfortable spaces to gather , or sit and read quietly. It worked well for all 3 generations! It was also very nice to have 2 full and 2 half baths and a washer and dryer, and all of the modern kitchen appliances.

The house is gorgeous and stocked with pans and utensils to support cooking meals for 10+ ppl. There is an abundance of wind chimes on the property. While charming during the day, can be disruptive at night (Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper-- the room with the 2 queens seemed to have the best buffer against the chimes at night). Ample room for our party of 10-- adults and kids were able to spread out and relax. The game room was stocked with some toys and games for a range of ages.

The property and house were lovely for a fall trip. We were looking for something off the beaten path but not so far from shops and dining that it was a hassle to go anywhere. This really the bill. Check in and out were super simple. The house was tidy, rustic but modern and had great amenities.

The house was amazing. We loved the different sitting areas, the pool, the landscaping. There were 7 of us there for a girls' weekend and we didn't leave the house. The house was very clean and well decorated. We loved having the Echo Dots around the house and pool for music. We would definitely book this house again!
