Amazing property

My group found this to be the perfect spot for a weekend get away. The deck and dock are fantastic and the hot tub was very clean. The park across the street is great for all ages. If you wanted to hit a beach there is a public park 5 minutes away with a nice one. I would recommend this property to anyone and would 100% book again!

Quiet with a Riverview

Our group of 12 enjoyed our stay at Seth's and would recommend it to anyone looking to book in this area. We choose this location because part of our trip involved a day at MI Adventure which was only about a 45 min drive from the home. Communication to Seth was great when we reached out due to needing additional towels, he had them shipped next day. There was also an issue with the hot tub but when I informed him he made the drive the next morning to address the issue which was appreciated! We would rent this home again.

It worked for us.

We stayed here for a fishing trip. The inside of the house was clean but lacked a table and chairs to each meals at. The outside was good enough for our needs. We had a good time. Thanks.

Family Celebration/Memorial

We thought is was very nice with great view and setting. Lots of space, huge garage for inclement weather. We went into the town - Newaygo - and found it to be very quaint and interesting, lots of little shops and old bookstore. Great place......................Jim
