About this property

Historic Fenn Hill Estate w/Idyllic Vineyard Views - Arcade, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Pool

Need a vacation rental with plenty of space to spread out? Look no further – Fenn Hill isn't just your average lake cottage. With enough room for 16 guests, this private estate can accommodate large and multigenerational families, as well as friend groups and reunion getaways.

Guests can choose between seven cozy, artfully curated bedrooms with scenic window views: three on the first floor, and four on the second floor. Claim one of the comfy nooks with queen sized beds, while the youngsters set up camp in one of the bedrooms with two twin beds. Pro tip: steal the 7th bedroom with a game area before anyone else gets to it! There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room for additional sleeping. Bathrooms aren't an issue either – with two on the first floor and one on the second floor, you won't have to battle over showers.

Not a morning person? You might actually enjoy them here at this 1890 farmhouse. Brew a cup of coffee and sip as you admire the morning light pouring through the front foyer entry windows. It's a serene spot to sign the guest book and imagine the home's 150-year-old history, and all the people who stepped into Fenn Hill before you. Breakfast can be enjoyed at one of the small breakfast bars in the warm, bright kitchen. Watch the birds fly by from the large backyard-facing kitchen window and get excited for the coming day.

When it's time to plan out today's activities as a group, you can convene on the couch in the comfy, modern living room. This is also a great place to wind down with a movie in the evening or host a game night.

While the interior of Fenn Hill is comfortable and spacious, you'll probably be dying to get outside where the magic really happens. The grassy, beautifully landscaped front and side yards are huge. So challenge each other to lawn games as you take in the scenic Fenn Valley Winery vineyards just a few hundred yards away. We also wouldn't judge you if you spent your entire vacation poolside, swimming, and sunning on our umbrella-covered lounge chairs. This brand-new heated in-ground pool is open to guests from Memorial Day through September. Take a dip when the weather's hot, then gather around the tranquil outdoor fire pit space for conversation and marshmallow roasting. On cooler nights any time of year, when the air is crisp and the stars are bright in the sky, there's nothing more magical than a float in our private hot tub. Relax and enjoy the total privacy of this backyard patio space, with furniture seating, a grill, and unforgettable views. This is the wine country getaway of a lifetime.

Additional Information
The swimming pool at this home is typically open from Memorial Day Weekend through September, weather depending, and is set to a comfortable 80 degrees. If you are inquiring for specific dates around the opening or closing dates of the swimming pool, please inquire with a reservationist for more information. The hot tub is available to guests year-round! While Fenn Hill offers all of the modern day amenities guests are sure to appreciate, the property was built in 1890 and some of the charm of yesteryear does still remain. This includes some uneven floors and steeper than normal staircase. The entire home does offer central heating and air-conditioning. The homeowners have also added some "modifications" to this to help with the distribution of the HVAC system, including a seperate mini-split unit in the Kitchen area and seasonal window a/c units in some upstairs bedrooms. This home is pet (dog) friendly and will accommodate 2 dogs, up to 50lbs. If a pet will be vacationing with you, a non-refundable pet fee (per pet) will be added upon approval of your booking request.

Area Information
Guests adore Fenn Hill for its perfect location in Fennville, MI. Nestled among vineyards and just minutes away from multiple lakes, you'll have easy access to the dozens of popular lake vacation activities Fennville and beautiful Saugatuck are known for. Our location along the Michigan Wine Trail is private and scenic, with the picturesque Fenn Valley Winery vineyards just a few hundred yards away. You can head over to it on foot for a memorable day of wine tasting in the vineyards. And just beyond the winery is Virtue Cider mill, a European-style cidery where you can sample craft cider flights. Another favorite local spot is just 500ft down the road from Fenn Hill: Hutchins Lake. Those looking for an active vacation will love this all-sports lake, with its beachfront and public boat access. So much of this is within walking distance. But just a quick drive away are a plethora of other options! You're only minutes from Lake Michigan public beaches like accoladed Oval Beach. You're also right next door to all the town amenities of Fennville, and 10 minutes away from charming Saugatuck, with its ice skating rink, hiking trails, and golf courses. Both towns offer casual eateries, markets, breweries, art galleries, and antique shops. Needless to say, you won't be bored for a minute during your Fenn Hill stay.

Moms’ Weekend
Ten of us mom friends stayed and spent some time together and away from our responsibilities. It was a great weekend to rest, relax, and recharge. The house had everything we needed to enjoy each other, our time, and the location. Blu Coast Properties made the process from reservation through check out easy and understandable!

Family Holiday Weekend
Our best family holiday weekend to date. For context, we treat our kids and grandkids to a Thanksgiving/Christmas weekend early in December each year so their actual holiday schedules are less hectic. This year's theme was Hallmark Channel Christmas. This amazing, 1890 farmhouse was absolutely perfect. Everything was as described. Tons of kitchenware to prepare and eat our Thanksgiving dinner. Huge yard to host our Christmas Olympics events. Perfectly furnished living areas to host Christmas morning and family game night. Tons of bedding and towels for a large group. Crazy Michigan weather even gave us a warm evening to sit around the campfire in the big, paved fire pit area. It was only 17 miles from Holland where we attended the Christmas market and light show. Only 2 negatives that any of us mentioned were the remnants of an outdoor party that hadn't been cleaned up in the backyard and a baby gate for the stairs would have been super helpful. The house has 1890s steep stairs going to the 2nd floor. We had to move a chair in front of the stairs to keep our very fast, toddler grandson from pretending he was climbing Mt. Everest every 2 minutes. Great property, great location, great weekend.

Perfect Getaway
This house was beyond amazing! Perfect for big groups like ours and everyone had a blast. The pool and arcade games were a big hit, as well as the close location to Fenn Valley winery. We were able to walk to the winery and had only a short drive into Saugatuck. I hope to visit again!
