wow , what can i say, it was perfect ! we had family members from upper and lower michigan, colorado, texas and cayman islands all staying in the house for a family wedding. we all loved the peacefulness and privacy we had . boating, fishing, hikeing , talking and cooking were highlights of our stay. we loved the wildlife bunnys, raccoons, snakes, frogs , fish, turtles , birds and lightning bugs. it was a perfect getaway to reconect with everyone.it was like you were in your own home , anything we needed was at our fingertips. everyone kept telling me over and over what a great job i did finding the home. thank you we loved it. the only thing we didnt like was having to leave.

Green Heron review

Nine (Indpls IN)
Review submitted: August 25, 2011   Date of arrival: August 5, 2011

Excellent! It was as if we were in our own home, everything we needed (charcoal, bug spray, sunscreen, soap, etc) was available somewhere in the house without having to rush to the store. I spent about 2-3 hours each morning fishing (and catching) with my 8 year old, and we found plenty of activities within 20-30 minutes to keep our teenagers occupied, and even Lake Michigan was only about 45 minutes. Everything in the description of the house is accurate - definately recommended. If you want to rent a pontoon and have a great time on a smaller, not quite as busy lake try the Pine Lake Marina. The rentals there are about half as much as Gun Lake with much less traffic on the water and excellent fishing and swimming areas.

Our family of 6 adults and two boys (ages 9 and 13) thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at the Green Heron on England Lake. We found that there was adequate space for both sleeping and relaxing even when it rained a couple of days. The setting is quiet and peaceful yet the boat, kayaks and fishing provided hours of enjoyment for the two boys. We especially appreciated the handicap facilities for the 13 yr. old in a wheelchair. The ramp and decking gave him total independence. We did not feel the need to go out at all except for ice cream in the evening which is available in nearby Plainwell. We did opt to take paper plates to save on washing dishes! Because of the high humidity and 90 degree temperatures (and since one family lived close enough), we brought in a dehumidifier. This helped greatly and I would suggest that the owners consider adding one both for comfort and for the preservation of the cottage and furnishings. Would we recommend to others? Most certainly! Will we be back? Undoubtedly! Thanks for sharing your home/property with us.
