Our group has been back to Woodhaven time and again, and every time it feels like coming home. We love the hot tub, screened porch and the large open living room/kitchen, big screen TV and stereo. Henry and Mary are close by and very helpful. Can't wait to return!

Homeowner Response:
We strive to make Woodhaven a wonderful place to visit and nothing validates our efforts more than repeat visitors. We greatly appreciate your comments, your business, and the way you have cared for Woodhaven. I almost said friendship also - I feel that way sometimes. Look forward to next time.

A wonderful space in the woods, here you enjoy nature from a wonderful home. The site is beautiful and the house is grand. It comes fully equiped with all the things you might need and many that make the home a special place away from home. Our family all enjoyed the time we spent in Beverly Shores. The country home makes the trip grand. We especially enjoyed the Hot Tub nessled in the woods. My wife said it was the best place she had celebrated her birthday. It is especially confrontable, well decorated and relaxing. We will return.

Woodhaven was a perfect match for our small family group during the week, but also large enough for a family reunion on a weekend! The facilities were exceptionally nice for a beach rental. And mentioning the beach, it was a perfect spot for small children. Of course we adults enjoyed it as well!
Thank you for the making the house so child friendly. We will have many happy memories of our time spent there.

What a wonderful place to vacation!!! Woodhaven is a great place for family to gather. It is very spacious and all the extras are there for us to enjoy. The grandkids enjoyed their area with the TV and games. The walk to the beach is short--we spent five days enjoying the sand, water, and sun. We hope to return next year. Thanks Henry and Mary.

Some of our extended family who attended our daughter's wedding and the reunion afterwards stayed at Woodhaven. We all thought it was a wonderful home in a great location and beautifully and completely equipped with nearly every convenience. We'd love to return sometime for a quiet and relaxing vacation (without wedding activities)!

For many years we traveled between Detroit and Chicago via Indiana and never knew what a treasure we were passing. Our family spent a wonderful week at Woodhaven enjoying the area and all the top class amenities Woodhaven provides. Every one of us went away with fond memories.

We had such a great time at Woodhaven with our children and their families traveling in to meet us there. The 12 of us loved the hot tub, the large comfortable living room, the toys and great kitchen. The screened porch helped make a 10th birthday party extra special. Many memories made at the lake, and in Chicago, will be long-cherished. Obvious efforts to accommodate guests were much appreciated. Our allergy vulnerable family members benefitted from the "no pets in the house" policy and the cleanliness of the house. Thank you, Henry and Mary, for your thoughtful preparedness!

Fabulous!
You've thought of everything a family could ever need, and then some. The tlc and attention to detail was everywhere to see. All three generations of our family had a wonderful time.

The kids made full use of the air hockey, the thoughtfully provided markers, construction paper, games, the "Felicity" books, the wagon and beach toys, not to mention all the toys in the play area. The large screen TV was popular. My daughter says she was extremely careful with the toys, and has a big Thank You for the free rein...

My mom loved the kitchen the appliances & provisions and we got a taste of home cooking on Sunday - nice!
Thanks also for the wi-fi, use of the computer, and the chance to get some of our laundry done while there.

And of course the location was perfect for beach outings - just a perfect peaceful and private retreat.

Please accept a big all-around thank you. And we do hope to be back.

Our very best to you both...

Homeowner Response:
Thanks for the very kind words. We have worked hard on Woodhaven and comments like this are very rewarding. Thank you also for the very good care you took of our place and the condition in which you left it. We are thinking of firing the cleaning people and just renting to you. Please come back and our best to your family.
Cheers

We LOVED our stay at Woodhaven! We were the first scrapbooking group to stay there and will be back. There were only five of us so there was plenty of room. We felt comfortable the minute we walked in the door. They have thought of everything you might need during your stay. It is a peaceful area, the beach was great and the house is very clean. We absolutely loved it! Thanks again for sharing your wonderful home with us! We'll see you again:o)

This is our second "girl's week-end" at Woodhaven. We had a great time and enjoyed the hot tub, the deck, the screen porch and the huge kitchen and great room very much. Woodhaven just gets nicer and nicer as Henry and Mary add more conveniences to the home. We look forward to our next visit and many more after that. Woodhaven is not just a house for rent it's a home!

While cold outside, we felt warm and comfortable inside- probably used the fireplace more than anyone before! The seven cousins were able to roam the house without us worrying- thanks for child-proofing. Great amenities, great access to whatever, great hosts nearby. No regrets and we'd do it again. Thanks.

What a wonderful and well-cared for house! We so
enjoyed our stay at the end of August with our two
young children. The house was spacious, clean,
well-appointed, and you took care of just about
everything one can imagine. You have obviously
put a great deal of thought into making a guest
house and it shows. From the stereo set-up in the
livingroom, to the games for kids, to the directions
for various parts of the house, We want to thank
you for the best vacation house experience we've
ever had. Hope to see you again,

Henry & Jill

Had a great Ladies week-end at Woodhaven and can't wait to return. Everything is top quality from the linens and towels to the kitchen appliances. Lot's of gathering spaces for large groups. Nicest place we've rented. Owners are extremely helpful. Thanks Henry and Mary

We had a great time and enjoyed the house and surroundings so much. The beach was perfect, all the amenities of the house made our stay there convenient and luxurious, with ample seating for our large group of 5 adults and 6 children. The kitchen is a dream! The owners are most helpful and accommodating.

This house is absolutely GORGEOUS. It has a fantastic
common area for spending time together, it's so close
to the beach, and the back porch/hot tub/barbecue is
very nice. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for
a great place to vacation with family or friends.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful house with us. We relaxed in the hot tub,
swam at the beach, cooked, played, and laughed together. The memories made
here will be with us forever.

Incredible house. As Lizzy mentioned, this was the
nicest of the 5 different houses I've rented for
vacations. Huge flat sceen TV, high speed internet,
great couches to lounge on, and a bug-free porch
area. It has it all.

We had such an amazing time at Woodhaven. We have rented many houses and this was the best one by far. The living room/kitchen area is amazing. The kitchen is full of every appliance you might need. The entire house has great beds, linens, an AIR HOCKEY TABLE and the hot tub is ENORMOUS!! It's right down the street from the beach. I loved this house!
