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.The screened in porch was disappointing as the screens were torn and mosquitoes were plenty.It was nice having a washer and dryer on site.The firepit area was great for making s’mores with plenty of of seating.

Perfect for a Girls Weekend

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!

The house was generally as described in the listing and met our expectations overall. The rental agency was very responsive throughout our stay and always made an effort to address our requests. There were a few discrepancies regarding some of the amenities advertised, but the agency worked hard to find solutions and accommodate our needs.The kitchen was reasonably well equipped and suitable for preparing meals. However, the indoor dining tables were too small to comfortably seat everyone together, which was disappointing for a large group.The front door was quite difficult to open and could benefit from maintenance. The outdoor areas, particularly around the pool and fire pit, were not as clean as expected. In addition, the loungers and outdoor chairs showed significant wear and could use replacement.The pool was advertised as heated, but the water temperature remained rather cool and did not appear to be adjustable. Despite the presence of a pool-cleaning robot, the pool was really dirty, with sand and dirt accumulated at the bottom, and we were not even able to fully enjoy it. The barbecue was unfortunately unusable due to its poor condition, rust, and unpleasant odor.Despite these issues, we appreciated the agency’s responsiveness and willingness to help whenever concerns were raised.

Very Nice Stay (despite pool issue)

Beautiful home with the all the amenities to make your stay nice! The only issue we had was the pool was unusable for 25% of our stay due to issues with the previous renters’ misuse. However, the fact that this main feature wasn’t able was a big blow to our spirits.

Fennville Modern Smart Home

The pictures portray this to be a new, beautiful, modern house with large rooms - it is not. It's likely an old farm house remodeled. Floors in every room are slanted - majorly. One family member said one upstairs toilet was very crooked. The stairs to the second level are so narrow we feared for the children going up and down them. One night an adult fell down 3 steps coming to the main level to check on a child who had awoken. She has bruises on her arm from the fall. Some of the main level shower tile grout contains black mold - scary. When we arrived (we rented Tuesday to Friday), the pool was cloudy to the point of not being able to see the bottom, the handle at the stairs was loose (moved side to side) and not at all safe, there are no markings on the side of the pool to warn of the depth change, the pool house was filled with bugs, spider webs, leaves and debris, many pool toys were broken. The cloudiness was remedied by Thursday. The listing states a heated pool & hot tub. The pool was not heated. Hot tub was nice. The house has a closet under the stairway filled with children's toys. Unfortunately it wasn't labeled and we found it the last evening of our stay. Sorry to say, this was not worth the amount we paid for 3 nights. I don't recommend it.
