The Property Managers were amazing solved anything we had questions about and great communication

by Margaret 2026-07-10

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.

Any question we had was answered right away.

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.

Great Family time! Easy check in and out! GREAT POOL! even with the lovely willow tree! That is a great tree!

by Jamie 2025-07-21

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!

by Kenneth 2025-06-26

Thank you for absolutely everything! This place was large but allowed everyone to seamlessly connect.

by Camilynn 2025-06-26

Thank you so much for another wonderful summer stay! Our family felt right as home.

Great stay.

by Danielle 2024-09-09

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!

by Todd 2024-08-22

Wonderful property, wonderful part of the state.

by Bradford 2024-07-12

Property worked well for our family and friends. Still close to Saugatuck for eating and shopping!

by Camilynn 2024-07-03

We've been vacationing at Lake Michigan for 14 years & this house is now one of our favorites. From the welcoming host to the swimming pool & the quiet setting - it was a perfect spot for our family holiday. Thank you for helping us feel right at home!

by Thomas 2024-07-03

Jaqua was quick to respond to our requests and was accommodating to our needs

by Camilynn 2024-07-02

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!

by Grant 2024-05-21

Wonderful house and property!

by Sally 2024-02-28

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.

One of the Best

by Pamela 2024-02-28

We have rented several vacation homes but this one was exceptional, from the cleanliness of the home and beautiful decorations, to the gorgeous property, to being fully stocked with everything you could possibly need during your stay, this one had it all!

Little Slice of Heaven

by Mary 2024-02-28

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.

Great House

by Michele 2024-02-28

Loved the property from the flower beds to the pool. Felt secluded but not far from town. Will stay here again.

Lovely Retreat

by Bethany 2024-02-28

The pool, hammock, and wind chimes were highlights for us at this beautiful secluded home. We would love to return!

Great Property

by Peggy 2024-02-28

Loved the pool.

by Doug 2024-02-28

We loved the house features, patios and pool.

Perfect Girls Weekend

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!!

Wonderful Stay

by Ryan 2024-02-28

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.

Charming Home

by Sarah 2024-02-28

We booked this home for a ladies getaway weekend and we could not have found a better home! It was charming, cozy and so clean. We had more than enough space for our 6 guests and throughly enjoyed all of the spaces both inside and outside. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your gorgeous home to relax and recharge! We will be back!

Thorndale = Awesome

by Patrick 2024-02-28

Best house ever. Wish we lived there.

by Allison 2024-02-28

The house was amazing - beautifully updated and decorated with all the amenities you need. We used the hot tub a few nights, which was fun and relaxing in the winter weather. It's a perfect house for a cozy, quiet getaway. We will be back!

by Deborah 2024-02-28

Everything was as described on line. I would recommend you bring your spices very limited but they also did not say they had them, just fyi. We did enjoy staying at the house.

by Shamina 2024-02-28

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.

by Kelly 2024-02-28

Thorndale Farm is just lovely. Everything about this property is exceptional. The outdoor spaces were my favorite part. The toy closet under the stairs was a delightful surprise for our 3 year old grandson!

by Caroline 2024-02-28

This home was so beautifully decorated with ample spaces to entertain and relax! We will be booking again in warmer weather! Gorgeous inside and out!

by Allie 2024-02-28

Very beautiful and fun home! Great for a group of friends. Lots to do and very clean.

by Jacki 2024-02-28

This was the second time we stayed at Thorndale. We love it and will definitely go back!!! The property is beautiful, the pool is big and well taken care of, the house is charming… My family loves it all!!!

by Jim 2024-02-28

Very nice house, pool and hot tub! Clise to Oval beach. Great kitchen and bedrooms. Would stay here again.

by Nicholas 2024-02-28

The property is beautiful. The grounds, pool, etc are amazing and relaxing. The house is very nicely furnished. Great home

by Shannon 2024-02-28

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.

by Dana 2024-02-28

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.

by Diane 2024-02-28

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.

by Colleen 2024-02-28

The house has so much charm. Plenty of space. The outdoor area was very well maintained. Good location.

by Jay 2024-02-28

We loved our stay here. Plenty of room for 4 adults, 2 kids & a toddler! No one felt on top of each other! The house was meticulously cleaned and we had everything we needed. Cooked dinner there every night which was not the original plan! We would definitely rebook Thorndale in the future!

by Stephen 2024-02-28

Great home Great pool Great time

by Hanna 2024-02-28

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.

by Kate 2024-02-28

We had a fantastic girls weekend at this property. This is truly a beautiful home with so many gathering spaces.

by Sandra 2024-02-28

Well decorated & cared for. Great gathering areas to meet wide range ages & activity

by Cindy 2024-02-28

This is a really great property to have fun and relax with your family. The pool area is wonderful. The property grounds are beautiful. Lots of beautiful sounding wind chimes that lull you into relaxation. You know how everyone always ends up in your kitchen? Plenty of room in this kitchen.

by Cheryl 2024-02-28

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!

House and grounds are exceptional. So relaxing! Location is great… we enjoyed the hot tub. Plenty of room for all!
