INCREDIBLE HOME

This was our first ever family vacation with our terminally ill daughter and we were a bit nervous to say the least. However; upon arrival our minds were quickly put at ease, as the owner had literally thought of everything! Old Owl is a beautiful home with a layout that was perfect for a group of 14 people ranging from 18 months to 87! The property manager and owner were INCREDIBLE to work with; From booking our stay, to the clear and simple check in process, they answered all questions in a timely manner and were always willing to help in any possible way they could. The accommodations were second to none and we couldn’t be more grateful for the cherished memories we created at this beautiful home! We’ll definitely be booking again!

10/10 would return

This place exceeded our expectations. We were a family group of 13 adults and one toddler and all the spaces were comfortable for hanging out, cooking/eating, and sleeping. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, outdoor fire, screened-in porch, downstairs game room, cornhole game, quick walk to the lake, walks along Lakeshore Drive, and quick access to Douglas and Saugatuck. For potential visitors, our activities were: Hiked Mt Baldy, fishing charter (caught King Salmon to feed us all x 3), kayaking Kalamazoo River, Saugatuck dune ride, pontoon boat rental for the evening, food tour, brewery tour.

Heuer Family Reunion VII

The Old Owl House is clean and modern. My wife and I four children + spouses and four grandchildren had a wonderful time, enjoying the pool, fire pit and proximity to Lake Michigan. Hot tub was a slight disappointment as we couldn't seem to get it much warmer than the pool. Service as great as Chad was there promptly remedy the ice maker in the main refrigerator and one other minor issue.

Fabulous Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Old Owl House! The layout is great for our large family group. Lots of room to visit, play, sleep, cook and eat. The pool and the outdoor lounging and seating areas are fantastic and we spent a lot of time there. The fire pit, wooded area, lush lawn and long driveway with a basketball hoop were a big hit! We loved walking to the lake, especially for the sunsets. Proximity to Douglas Beach, Douglas and Saugatuck was another positive. We’re already planning another summer stay at the house.

Luxury Getaway

GREAT vacation rental! We gathered our family at this beautiful house for a summer reunion. Our lively youngsters were in the huge, heated pool from morning 'til night. Brett, the owner, and Chadd, the local manager, have outfitted this house with everything you want and need for a comfortable vacation. Smaller touches that made a BIG difference impressed me. For example, there are more than enough good beach towels for everyone. There were lots of lightweight chairs to take to the beach. There are plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware so you don't run short trying to serve one meal. We mostly used the high quality and attractive plastic dishes although there are glass dishes, too. The layout of the house includes space to gather as a group and places to retreat for quiet time. The house is spotlessly clean. The decorating is tasteful. The furniture, including the beds, is so comfortable. With counter stools there is enough room for everyone to sit and join in group meals. Old Owl's location, literally at the end of the road, felt secluded and private. We hope to return in the future to enjoy this idyllic home!

Perfect in Every Way!!!

Our stay in Old Owl was superlative in every respect. As a matter of fact, everything was in such perfect condition, we would have thought we were the first guests had we not seen the guest book and reviews. The home was beautifully and comfortably furnished, with plenty of private space for our 13 family members spanning three generations. The heated pool and its environs were expansive and impeccably maintained, as was the fire pit. And the home’s cozy and private set back from the road allowed the little kids to safely scoot and ride bikes without traffic worries. The property is located in a quiet enclave of lovely resort homes, making the 4 minute walk down the drive to see the sunset a nightly must. We all hope for a return visit next year!

A Perfect House for a Multi-generational Family Gathering!

This is our family's second summer spending a week in this most special house! The pool and the hot tub make perfect early morning and late afternoon activities for all and the house's proximity to the beaches, hiking, boating, fruit picking, and other activities ( we loved the Art Barn on our rainy day!)- not to mention many great near-by eateries - continue to make this house a family favorite gathering spot. We hope to return again next summer!

Perfect home for our family vacation (8 adults, 6 kids aged 3-10). Ample room for everyone. Large well-equipped kitchen and eating areas. So many fun things to do inside and out. Everyone loved the pool and kids became better swimmers. Appreciate the safety considerations taken. Icing on the cake- it’s beautifully furnished and decorated. Would definitely return.

A perfect family getaway

After my parents sold our family home, we needed a place to gather for the holidays. The Old Owl House was a perfect venue for our large and growing family. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to prepare a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, and the many bedrooms allowed each family some privacy over the course of the week. Countless amenities at the house - from the hot tub to the big screen TVs - meant we never wanted to leave. The surrounding woods and proximity to Lake Michigan made for stunning surroundings. The house was spotless, and Brett and the property manager were excellent communicators - always getting back to me within minutes! Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our stay and hope to come back soon!

A Great Rental in Every Way!

This house is brand new and was perfect for our 3-generations family gathering - 6 adults and 4 children, ranging in ages from 7mo-81 years. The large, open kitchen/family room/dining room was a perfect gathering place throughout the day and evenings. There was plenty of room for everyone - to find a quiet spot if needed and to enjoy different activities - either on the upper or lower levels, on the screened porch, the large deck or near the pool. All the bedrooms were comfortable, with enough space for everyone, and even the primary bedroom's closet was more than big enough to keep our infant grandchild in his pack n' play close to his parents during the night - a perfect spot! The wonderful pool was a daily highlight (with lots of pool toys and floaties), as was the proximity of the house to a variety of glorious beaches (and sand dunes), to peach and apple picking, and to town with a variety of shops and food options. The house also has many activity options in addition to the wonderful pool; our grandchildren enjoyed the video games, the basketball hoop, scooters, and we all enjoyed a family tournament of Corn Hole. A short walk took us up to the cliffs above the lake where we also enjoyed a glorious sunset as well as daily walks along the road above the lakeshore. Chadd (the property manager) and the owner were readily available for all our questions leading up to our stay and upon departure. The house is located on a quiet, large, well-kept, private, wooded property which was simply a perfect home-base for a lovely, relaxing vacation week!
