Fantastic stay!

Rented the house for a mini getaway for my daughter’s 10th birthday and we had a great time. The country house was perfect for us! Such a cute house with peaceful surroundings.

Quick trip to Grafton

We took a quick small family trip to the Grafton area. The house is perfectly situated just outside of town. There is a very small commute time to get into town. But it is far enough away that you do not hear the hustle and bustle that is going on there. It is the perfect setting to enjoy a nice walk or sit by the fire pit.

Nice getaway close to Grafton

Our family enjoyed this home for our weekend get away to Grafton. It was close to all the Grafton activities. We loved the back deck for coffee. There is a firepit so we made smores. Sat on the cute front porch and wartched the family play wiffleball. I like how the main bedroom was split from the other rooms. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Quiet country retreat

My friends, sister & I stayed the night this past weekend. It was very easy to find. It is just outside of town, but not too far. It is the cutest little place in the country but had plenty of room for all 6 of us. The bed was very comfy. It was equipped with everything we needed & was very clean! We loved our stay & will definitely stay here again when in Grafton.

50th Birthday Getaway

This property was exactly as the pictures showed. Very, very clean and comfortable(the master bed maybe could use a mattress topper, a little too firm for my liking). We loved all the decor and noticing something different everyday. It is just minutes away from downtown Grafton and easy to get to. We are already talking about booking again the next time, probably for a girls trip!!

Friends Winery Day

A group of friends and I all stayed one night at this quaint place on 11/04/23. It was SO clean and so spacious! There is plenty of room for air mattresses- the little den area really lends itself for extra space. Both from front and back porches are nice to sit and relax on. The owner came and brought us firewood for a very small fee. Dennis is extremely accommodating and answered every question we had. There's plenty of seating to eat meals. 5 minute drive to downtown Grafton. Beautiful serene scenery all around you at the house. We will definitely stay there again next year! You can't beat the price for the space, and beautiful country feel. Thank you Dennis!

Holiday stay

We enjoyed our stay at this country home. It was prepared(very clean) and provided very well. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving while meeting with our son who lives nearby. Nice country setting and close to Grafton and Pere Marquette Park. Just 1 recommendation: If you have a pet staying with you, make arrangements ahead of your stay for the pet fee payment because it is not included in your rental payment. We were notified by the host via email on our final day that the pet fee to be left in cash. Good thing I checked my email before we left the property & lucky I had cash. This could have been easily overlooked. Other than that, the hosts are very pleasant and accommodating.
