HEALTH HAZARD!! Contracted bacterical infection from hot tub
This was hands down the worst vacation rental experience I have ever had in my life. Myself and a companion stayed for two nights; from Friday to Sunday, at the property. During our stay we both began feeling ill, and hours upon our return Sunday evening we broke out in full body rashes along with experiencing vomitting and diarrhea. I immediately called my doctor on Monday and was seen Tuesday. I was diagnosed with the condition "Pseudomonas Folliculitis," caused from the bacteria Pseudomonas Aeruginosa growing in the hot tub due to lack or proper cleaning and maintenance. My doctor told me I needed to let the property owners know so they could drain and properly clean the hot tub. I reached out to the property owners and VRBO to let them know of the bacterial infection I contracted from their property. I sent proof and picutres including the horrible rash on my body, test results and after visit summary from my doctor showing the bacterial infection along with prescription information I had to take in order to treat the condition. The property owners have been unwilling to communicate, or to issue a full refund. I have been waiting a month now to hear back from them. I am mortified and apalled how the property hosts have treated me and handled this situation, especially considering the proof and records I provided detailing this absolutely horrific experience. I have permanent scarring all over my body from this nightmare experience. I would give zero stars if I could.

This is my third time staying at this rental property, and it was just as great as the first. Check in/out process, cleanliness, amenities, etc. are all top notch. Quiet neighborhood and close to town. The hot tub is the best part. Hope to be back again next year!

Very clean cabin
Cabin was nice and completely what we were looking for. The water softener was different but we got used to it. We liked the generosity of the neighbors who gave us some firewood.

Hello! We are excited to be the new owners of this amazing property and be able to offer it to couples and families to enjoy time away to relax and re-connect.

We have been looking for a property that we felt had all the requirements for our vacation home. It is our goal to make this your favorite vacation spot too.

We are Michigan residents living in Zeeland. The short drive for us allows us a great vacation spot for a quick get-a-way, less then 2 hours. We are family that enjoys the outdoors and all the beauty that Michigan has to offer. We hope that sharing our home with you is a blessing to your family.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the view, nature at its best, especially from the three season room. Our family likes to four wheel and snow mobile on the hundreds of miles Baldwin (Lake County) has to offer. We also enjoy the golf coarse right around the corner. We are close enough to home but far enough away to feel like a vacation. The home offers all the amenities you get at home without the stress.

What makes this property unique

The three season room, beautiful deck and hot tub over looking the fire pit area, open concept home, a huge sleeping loft, 60 inch high definition TV with satellite, and internet. It's just a great location! State of the art water filtration system by Culligan for pure clean, soft water without rust.
