Unplug, unwind, and rediscover relaxation in this one-of-a-kind Galien River retreat.

I think this may be our 10th year staying at this beautiful property. It is warm, welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Ron Morales and his team are quick to respond in every aspect of communication. We thank you for sharing this home.

The house and location was excellent. My kids and dog ran free on the big secluded yard and loved it. Many bonfires were had, sat on the deck overlooking the river and fun game nights in the screened in porch downstairs. Would stay here again.

We had a great time together in this house. Would definitely use it again. Only item we needed was hot dog sticks. The lower level was very cold.

The house was clean (as they always are through WAYA). Perfect set up for our annual golf weekend with a group of guys. Private/scenic location. Everything in the home worked as you would want (hot tub, internet, TV, HVAC, etc).

We loved our stay! The property is off the highway & expressway tucked into a serene wooded lot with the Galien River flowing in back. Very quiet & peaceful! Located near all the fun places to visit; Beach, casino, Wineries, restaurants, farm markets, etc. We enjoyed sitting on the large & relaxing upper deck. The grill was large & clean. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We were not able to find the switch to turn on the front porch lights & it's dark in front at night trying to get in/out of the house. Everything was as stated in the listing. The hot tub was very relaxing! We are looking forward to returning next fall!

This was our 2nd time staying at WAYA’s Den. It’s perfect for our extended family (grandparents, kids, and grand-kids). Plenty of comfortable beds and bathrooms for all. Close to everything we like to do in SW Michigan. Private and scenic setting, with multiple places to congregate and enjoy our time with one another.

My family loved our week at WAYA's Den, it is a beautiful property with comfortable beds and fully stocked kitchen. We loved the back deck overlooking the river and the hot tub was used a ton! The property management company was extremely friendly and always answered my questions immediately, we really appreciated their patience and kindness, especially Maria. We would definitely recommend this house! Thank you so much for helping make our family vacation amazing!

Wonderful stay for a girls weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy property! It was very close to town and had all the amenities you’d want, the hot tub on the deck was such a treat. We loved using the screened in deck on the lower level as well to avoid bugs! We’d definitely stay here again. The only negative is that there is an outdoor light right outside the primary bedroom window that must have been on a timer, we could not figure out how to turn it off, making it not as dark for sleep as we’d prefer, so I’d recommend bringing an eye mask for sleep!
