Ryan and Andrea were excellent hosts. The Honeycomb home is comfortable and inviting due to all of the special touches that the owners have put into it. We rented the house to provide a Christmas for nieces and nephew, and it was perfect. We hope to return next year and create even more terrific memories. Thank you gain Ryan and Andrea for being so accommodating and understanding. We hope we left your home as we found it and with a little spirit of Christmas.Gratefully,John and Rob

This was a beautiful property and home. Everything was clean and all the little "extras" were provided. Thoughtfulness of bathroom supplies, bug repellent, activities, and kitchen adequately stocked. All of the large beds, linens, and pillows were very comfortable. The twins were ok for kids, not as much for adults. We loved the space for gathering our family for my dads wedding celebration. We didnt explore the area much, but the space was close to everything we needed and exceptionally comfortable.

Family Vacation weekend at HoneyComb Heart of Wine Country sleeps 10 home.

We had a great time with our family for the weekend. The house was very nicely set up and they had practically everything you needed. The game room downstairs was nice with games and a couch and tv plus more. Along with the 2 bedrooms and bathroom. Outdoors was awesome too with a beautiful deck and obstacle course with a zip line etc. Big area for a bonfire also. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. Very easy to communicate with. Stay here if you are looking for a wonderful home to stay in with your family or friends!

Excellent weekend getaway.

My buddies and I spent the weekend at the Honeycomb Home and absolutely loved it. It’s close enough to Kalamazoo to enjoy some nightlife but remote enough to enjoy peace and quiet. The owner was very attentive and the home had everything we needed. We definitely recommend this rental and we will be back!

Loved the Honeycomb!

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your incredible home. We were blown away by the house and the property. I did pay quite a bit in cleaning fees so stripping the beds and taking the trash to the end of the driveway seemed like something that would be incorporated in the fee. The personalized note when we arrived and the help prior to check in was great. I’m hoping to bring my kids back this summer!

Such an Amazing & Fun Stay

We celebrated our family Christmas weekend here at honeycomb! Everything about the place was amazing! Very clean, comfy beds, lots of towels and the most stocked I have ever seen from a VRBO. The kids and grandpa loved the arcade type games, the board games were a huge hit as well as the toys they had. My kids are not huge winter outdoor kids but because of the yard and Ninja course they were outside most of the day for two days straight! Thank you for such.a fun time and it maybe come a family tradition!

Hidden Gem!!

This house should get a 6-star rating. We were so impressed and happy with our stay at the Honeycomb house!! Came into town to visit relatives, and arrived later in the evening due to traffic and weather. From the moment we turned down the long and winding driveway, we started to relax. The entire home was amazingly well-appointed and sparkling clean! There were six of us staying and we never felt crowded or crammed together. When my younger nephews came to visit, they had a blast exploring outside, playing in the game room, and riding the zip line. The teens did too! :)We loved it so much, we are already looking at some potential dates to come to the area this summer when the house is available!

Mother's Day retreat

For Mother's day weekend we had a delightful stay at Honeycomb Home! My wife and I with our daughter, son in law and 2 teenage grandchildren arrived Friday May 10th and left Sunday May 12th. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortably furnished. 👌 The internet connection was strong. We had a wonderful Zoom get together with our children and grandchildren in 4 states! It was near supermarkets and shops. The family especially liked Moo Moo ice cream joint in Mattawan and Perfect Storm West for comics and trading cards in Paw Paw. Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan was fascinating 👍
