Historic Fenn Hill Estate w/Idyllic Vineyard Views - Arcade, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Pool

Need a vacation rental with plenty of space to spread out? Look no further – Fenn Hill isn't just your average lake cottage. With enough room for 16 guests, this private estate can accommodate large and multigenerational families, as well as friend groups and reunion getaways.

Guests can choose between seven cozy, artfully curated bedrooms with scenic window views: three on the first floor, and four on the second floor. Claim one of the comfy nooks with queen sized beds, while the youngsters set up camp in one of the bedrooms with two twin beds. Pro tip: steal the 7th bedroom with a game area before anyone else gets to it! There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room for additional sleeping. Bathrooms aren't an issue either – with two on the first floor and one on the second floor, you won't have to battle over showers.

Not a morning person? You might actually enjoy them here at this 1890 farmhouse. Brew a cup of coffee and sip as you admire the morning light pouring through the front foyer entry windows. It's a serene spot to sign the guest book and imagine the home's 150-year-old history, and all the people who stepped into Fenn Hill before you. Breakfast can be enjoyed at one of the small breakfast bars in the warm, bright kitchen. Watch the birds fly by from the large backyard-facing kitchen window and get excited for the coming day.

When it's time to plan out today's activities as a group, you can convene on the couch in the comfy, modern living room. This is also a great place to wind down with a movie in the evening or host a game night.

While the interior of Fenn Hill is comfortable and spacious, you'll probably be dying to get outside where the magic really happens. The grassy, beautifully landscaped front and side yards are huge. So challenge each other to lawn games as you take in the scenic Fenn Valley Winery vineyards just a few hundred yards away. We also wouldn't judge you if you spent your entire vacation poolside, swimming, and sunning on our umbrella-covered lounge chairs. This brand-new heated in-ground pool is open to guests from Memorial Day through September. Take a dip when the weather's hot, then gather around the tranquil outdoor fire pit space for conversation and marshmallow roasting. On cooler nights any time of year, when the air is crisp and the stars are bright in the sky, there's nothing more magical than a float in our private hot tub. Relax and enjoy the total privacy of this backyard patio space, with furniture seating, a grill, and unforgettable views. This is the wine country getaway of a lifetime.

Additional Information
The swimming pool at this home is typically open from Memorial Day Weekend through mid-September, weather depending, and is set to a comfortable 80 degrees. If you are inquiring for specific dates around the opening or closing dates of the swimming pool, please inquire with a reservationist for more information. The hot tub is available to guests year-round! While Fenn Hill offers all of the modern day amenities guests are sure to appreciate, the property was built in 1890 and some of the charm of yesteryear does still remain. This includes some uneven floors and steeper than normal staircase. The entire home does offer central heating and air-conditioning. The homeowners have also added some "modifications" to this to help with the distribution of the HVAC system, including a separate mini-split unit in the Kitchen area and seasonal window a/c units in some upstairs bedrooms. This home is pet (dog) friendly and will accommodate 2 dogs, up to 50lbs. If a pet will be vacationing with you, a non-refundable pet fee (per pet) will be added upon approval of your booking request.

Area Information
Guests adore Fenn Hill for its perfect location in Fennville, MI. Nestled among vineyards and just minutes away from multiple lakes, you'll have easy access to the dozens of popular lake vacation activities Fennville and beautiful Saugatuck are known for. Our location along the Michigan Wine Trail is private and scenic, with the picturesque Fenn Valley Winery vineyards just a few hundred yards away. You can head over to it on foot for a memorable day of wine tasting in the vineyards. And just beyond the winery is Virtue Cider mill, a European-style cidery where you can sample craft cider flights. Another favorite local spot is just 500ft down the road from Fenn Hill: Hutchins Lake. Those looking for an active vacation will love this all-sports lake, with its beachfront and public boat access. So much of this is within walking distance. But just a quick drive away are a plethora of other options! You're only minutes from Lake Michigan public beaches like accoladed Oval Beach. You're also right next door to all the town amenities of Fennville, and 10 minutes away from charming Saugatuck, with its ice skating rink, hiking trails, and golf courses. Both towns offer casual eateries, markets, breweries, art galleries, and antique shops. Needless to say, you won't be bored for a minute during your Fenn Hill stay.

Fenn Hill Estate was the perfect place for our family of 14 (3 generations - ages 8-71) to spend the week. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool and evenings around the fire pit. The large yard was perfect for outdoor activities. Plenty of room inside with a great kitchen and large dining room table. Also, a lot to do in the area; Oval Beach, farmer’s markets, wineries and brew pubs. Great vacation!

Girls Wine Weekend Success

We had a great time in Fenneville at this location! The driveway is long and held many cars and not being right on top of the road was a nice “escape”. There are a ton of bedrooms, lots of kitchen counter and fridge space, and a smart tv in the living room. After a couple glasses of wine the stairs up to the second floor felt steep but there’s a handrail! Communication was quick and so helpful, I would stay here again- it’s proximity to multiple tasting rooms was ideal.

Great stay!

The house was amazing and had amenities for our large family with a variety of ages. You can easily spend your entire vacation right at the house with no need to travel further! The pool, hot tub, and firepit were our favorite ways to spend our time there. The house had everything we needed, and the host was easy to communicate with. We are already looking forward to planning our next trip!

Perfect Getaway

This house was beyond amazing! Perfect for big groups like ours and everyone had a blast. The pool and arcade games were a big hit, as well as the close location to Fenn Valley winery. We were able to walk to the winery and had only a short drive into Saugatuck. I hope to visit again!

Great Escape

We visited with friends and our kiddos (ages 5-10) for our annual hiking trip. The location was a good distance to travel to tulip time in Holland and hiking in Saugatuck. We loved the peaceful property and outdoor space to play.Our group had a cookout on the grill and outdoor eating space. The only downfall was a lack of pantry items like pepper and salt. The hot tub was great on cool spring nights and we enjoyed having smores in the firepit. The kids played hide and seek and baseball in the yard while the adults relaxed. The kids also LOVED the arcade games. We appreciated how spaced out the bedrooms were and the large indoor spaces for eating and relaxing. We are looking forward to visiting again next year!

Perfect family vacation

There were enough beds and bathrooms for my group to be comfortable. We used every amenity and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, and game net kept us busy.

Charming home on a beautiful property

We loved our stay! It was the perfect spot for a multi-family trip. The kids loved the pool, we all enjoyed the fire pit and volleyball net. There were multiple places to sit out doors and enjoy the peaceful serenity of the wooded lot. Interior decor is so cute and fun, this house was rehabbed with great attention to detail. We loved visiting the area orchards, vineyards and our favorite spot, Virtue Cider. Highly recommend this home for a multi family getaway.

Rural Fennville Old Farmhouse—Great Location

We came for the Tulip Festival in Holland. The location was perfect. Fennville, Saugatuck, and Holland are all within driving distance. Several wineries are located near this home. Dining options and activities are abundant. While the home is lovely it is truly an older farmhouse so be ready for narrow stairs and uneven floors. It’s also in a rural location so be prepared for bugs and critters outdoors—especially in the evening. A great place to stay overall and an enjoyable vacation.

Family Holiday Weekend

Our best family holiday weekend to date. For context, we treat our kids and grandkids to a Thanksgiving/Christmas weekend early in December each year so their actual holiday schedules are less hectic. This year's theme was Hallmark Channel Christmas. This amazing, 1890 farmhouse was absolutely perfect. Everything was as described. Tons of kitchenware to prepare and eat our Thanksgiving dinner. Huge yard to host our Christmas Olympics events. Perfectly furnished living areas to host Christmas morning and family game night. Tons of bedding and towels for a large group. Crazy Michigan weather even gave us a warm evening to sit around the campfire in the big, paved fire pit area. It was only 17 miles from Holland where we attended the Christmas market and light show. Only 2 negatives that any of us mentioned were the remnants of an outdoor party that hadn't been cleaned up in the backyard and a baby gate for the stairs would have been super helpful. The house has 1890s steep stairs going to the 2nd floor. We had to move a chair in front of the stairs to keep our very fast, toddler grandson from pretending he was climbing Mt. Everest every 2 minutes. Great property, great location, great weekend.

A group of six girls stayed at the farmhouse for a long weekend, visiting the Tulip Festival in Holland and Saugatuck for shopping and a retro boat rental. This farmhouse has a perfect location, across from a winery and in a private setting! The host was great, thank you for sharing your home with us!!
