The house was beautiful and the hosts were incredible! My family, friends, and all of our kids had an a amazing time. The hosts thought of everything from towels by the pool and blankets for the fire pit to a first aid kit and every appliance a person could need or want. This trip was seamless from check-in to check-out and we would definitely stay at this beautiful home again.

This place is absolutely amazing. It is well thought out and very comfortable. Plus the game room, pool and outdoor area make it nonstop fun. It was a perfect location for our family birthday party. The hosts are very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Location of the property is great. Very secluded and private but only 5 minutes from the store. We will be staying here again!!!

Excellent home to stay for large groups. Very spacious & equipped with everything you need. Plenty of entertainment for all ages with the swimming pool, game room, fire pit & large side yard to play yard games. Our host was always available & responded quickly to any questions. I needed some extra tables & chairs & he referred me to a local business that delivered & picked them up after. Very reasonable price as well. We loved staying there & would definitely return again!

This location was ideal for our group of golfers. Close to Meijer if we needed something quick. Within 17 mins to all the courses we played. Secluded back off the road. Just a perfect location. All of the amenities anyone would need for anything outdoor or indoor. The kitchen was completely stocked and there were plenty of utensils for our group. I do all of the cooking each night and I had everything I needed. The backyard was used by everyone. The fire pit came in handy each night. Frank is an incredible host and checks in periodically to make sure all is good. But not annoying check ins. Just the perfect customer experience. I can’t say enough about our stay. If you have a group of more than 12 people, I wouldn’t pass it up.

Great home and lots of little gems in the area! Would recommend the chocolate covered chips at Alpine Chocolate Haus, the lavender picking at Lucky Clover Farms, the Elk preserve lookout at dusk, Snowbelt brewery, and the gem mining and aquatic park at Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort.

My family and I loved our stay at the Northway. It was very spacious and in a good location. The pool was amazing and perfect for our kids. It’s so hard to find a nice modern space that allows pets. Frank was super easy to contact, very helpful and responsive.

This was a beautiful place! Perfect for our gathering of 18 adults! Plenty of room - firepit with ample seating and the pool was so fun! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and had lots of space to put away our groceries! Both game rooms were a hit and this spot would be perfect for any family or adult gathering! Will look into booking again in a winter month!
