Modern Country Home with Pool, Hot Tubs & Fire Pit - close to wineries & beach

Dahlia is a well-appointed modern country home on over 10 acres of rolling hills & woodland preserves in the heart of SW Michigan’s wine country.

** Ask us about promotional pricing for off-season stays longer than 2 nights from November through April (holidays excluded).**

Distributed among three levels, the custom-built 10,000 square foot home offers high-end amenities in a modern, yet comfortable atmosphere. Dahlia is well-suited to accommodate large groups, offering multiple spaces large enough for your whole crew and numerous specialized entertainment spaces. Nature rushes in through the soaring floor-to-ceiling windows providing a perfect SW Michigan hideaway.

The main level features 3 spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a powder room, spacious open concept chef’s kitchen/great room, large dining space, catering kitchen, and screened balcony overlooking the pool and woods.

The lower level is entertainment central! The great room includes a game room with a pool table, ping-pong table, smart TV, wet bar with refrigerator, and powder room. Dahlia’s amazing kids’ playroom with a wide array of toys and books is a great space for little ones’ imaginations to run wild. The theater room is an ideal viewing setting with comfy seating and digital projector. This level includes an expansive bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The remaining 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on the upper level are situated in three distinct wings, providing private settings for peaceful slumber.

Dahlia’s backyard oasis includes a large heated pool with safety cover, two hot tubs, outdoor dining area with gas grill, and custom fire pit. The property’s basketball and bocce ball courts are perfectly-suited for a little friendly competition while the shallow end of the pool’s three levels make it easy for children to splash around and adults to lounge in.

Dahlia is located moments away from some of the area’s best winery tasting rooms and nearby Bridgman offers a fun destination for breweries and restaurants.

Beautiful rental
Exactly as pictured and described. We had 24 people very comfortably stay at the house and didn't use many of the beds. I've rented a lot of vacation homes and this is easily one of the best stocked houses in terms of kitchen items, cleaning supplies, etc... pretty much everything you need is accounted for in every room.

Dahlia
Dahlia is a fabulous home. The decor is beautiful and the home is so well equipped. Immaculately clean. Incredible lower level for games and entertainment. The property is equally beautiful and the views from the house are magnificent. We have rented from Dwell many times and every experience is 5 star. They are great to work with.

Always a wonderful stay with Dwell Vacations
We have stayed at other Dwell Vacation rental properties but this was our first time at Dahlia and we loved it! The house was perfectly set up for our group. We try to gather our friend group once a year all together and have found that the Dwell Houses are perfect to get our growing group together. With the Dahlia house we were able to comfortably set up those with kids and without kids to have their own space. The basement area was where all the adults would hang out at night and the kids slept upstairs without hearing a peep from us. The double hot tubs with access right from the lower level made it so nice. And of course the kitchen is always stocked so well for us to set up a big group dinner and not need to bring anything extra. It was such a perfect winter getaway that we checked into the house and didn't leave the entire weekend. It's a wonderful team running the properties and communication is always so smooth. We will definitely return again next year!

Beautiful house, expert and kind staff!
We had a college friend reunion and enjoyed the best weekend at Dahlia! The house is INCREDIBLE and the staff is kind and responsive. We are now planning on making this an annual tradition and can't wait to check out the other properties! Thank you for an incredible time!

Rented for a yoga retreat
we had an amazing stay at the Dahlia house and I highly recommend it! The attention to detail is incredible. The house very comfortably fit our whole group of 28 women we loved the hot tubs and in October to swim in the heated pool it was a real treat. The kitchens were well equipped. It was amazing to be able to have everybody eat together and have enough dishes and silverware for everyone. It was great having all of the lovely bathrooms and all of the beds were super comfortable.!!! I would love to rent this house again.

Perfect house made for amazing weekend!
I cannot say enough great things about the house as well as the host! Communication was easy and helpful, and even last minute early check-in/late check-out requests were accommodated. The house had everything- truly no detail was overlooked. It was perfect for our group of several families, everyone had their own space. The amenities were fantastic- we just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy them more! Truly could not recommend this house more. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

Facility is fantastic. Well appointed and plenty of space. The one thing I forgot to tell you at our trip last year was that in the bedroom that’s above the kitchen up the back stairs the lights by the sides of the bed have never worked. I even brought up
I think I already said this, but we love the facility. It’s extremely well appointed and taken care of and comfortable. Plenty of space for leisure activities. The one suggestion is have someone check out the lights by the bed in the bedroom, that’s above the kitchen because they have never worked, I tried them last year also and even even my friends could not figure out what was wrong

Company Meeting
We held a company meeting at Dahlia instead of our typical hotel/conference room accommodations. What a huge upgrade! The house is incredible and the host was super responsive and friendly. We will definitely book with Dwell in the future.

A wonderful family vacation!
Everything was clean and well maintained. The cousins always enjoy the pool and we set up a pickle ball net on the basketball court. It was a little smaller than usual but it was perfect! Dwell Vacations' properties and staff are the best. From the supplies and equipment provided to the immediate response when there's any issue, this is a stellar organization. We're returning to Primrose next summer because of the pool being on the same level as the kitchen. However, Dahlia was really great for space and we had a wonderful time!

So. Much. Fun.
We spent a long weekend at Dahlia for a mini family reunion and couldn’t have had a better time. The house is amazing- fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, plenty of fridge/freezer space, and a laundry room with about 6 washers and dryers…every mom’s dream lol. There was so much to do for every age- we thoroughly enjoyed the pool, hot tubs, fire pit, bocce, basketball, golf, and corn hole…everyone just rotated from one thing to the next and enjoyed the perfect weather. The pool table, ping pong, and card table were late night favs. The best part about this house was the memories made within it. It was so special to spend that time with my family and the next generations that hadn’t even met yet! We laughed endlessly and truly enjoyed spending some long overdue time together. It was a magical weekend for sure :)

A perfectly amazing place!
The house is everything and more than we expected to be! The pictures don't do it justice. The place is perfect! The rooms are spacious and well furnished, the kitchen is big and perfect for a large gathering, and the outdoor area has something for everyone. Even though it was on the colder side when we were there, the kids enjoyed playing outside and so did the adults with the hot tub and fire pit. This place is worth ever dollar!

Amazing Place!!
The Dahlia house is unbelievable!! We rented this house in December to get our entire family together to remember our Mother and share Christmas together. There were 36 of us ranging in age from 7 months to 62. The owners were so kind to put up a Christmas tree and make the house so festive for us. The house is even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures on the website show. The kitchen is a chef’s dream and well stocked with pots and pans and everything you need to serve your guests. The house is great for young children, it even has a children’s playroom and a theater room. We were blessed with a beautiful December day where we could enjoy the outdoor area which includes a large fire pit, hot tubs, play area for the kids and so much more. Because it was winter, we did not use the pool but there were plenty of other things to do. I cannot say enough about this beautiful place. It was the perfect place to get all of our family together. The rooms are so spacious. We all decided we will definitely want to come back again. Thank you so much to Dwell Vacations for for making all the arrangements so simple!! We were all so blessed by our time together in this amazing house!!

Family Gathering
Our extended family of 28 people gathered at the Dahlia house for a family reunion and memorial service for a family member in July 2021. We ranged in age from 3 months to 82 years old, with 16 adults and 12 children under 11 years of age. Everyone agreed the house was the ideal place for us. The guestbook/instruction manuals were well laid out and very helpful. We were able to arrive prepared and familiar with the spaces which was important since we were coming from 7 different states. The many bedrooms and bathrooms made it possible for individual families to have privacy and quiet spaces for older adults and babies. The kitchen had lots of eating spaces & worked well for our family dinners together. The Prep/caters' kitchen added extra storage space as well as the walk-in pantry. The multiple independent thermostats allowed each group to have control over their own bedroom temperatures. We appreciated the baby/kid provisions provided - cribs, high chairs, baby bath tubs, toys, little water table, and the toy room. Other items provided: soaps, shampoos, & basic supplies were plentiful and good quality. The outside space was wonderful. People were in the pool every day and the layout of the pool with the three different levels was FABULOUS and worked very well, providing safe sections for kids and all. We appreciated the pool towels and sand toys for the kids. We enjoyed making s'mores at the firepit area. The hot tub was a big hit with the adults. There are 2 hot tubs but unfortunately one was broken when we arrived. We notified Penny and someone came to fix it midweek. We also contacted Penny about another maintenance issue and someone came out to fix that as well. We really appreciated their responses to our concerns. Penny was very helpful and great to work with throughout our entire booking process and stay. The AV equipment was good, easy to use and good WiFi. However, cell service was poor for many of us. One of our members who is in IT said a "repeater would have been nice". We were grateful for all the washers/dyers with all our kids. We enjoyed the good central Michigan location, and visited a local winery, brewery, parks for the kids and the beach at St Joe's. The kids especially loved the hidden items - angels and fairies - that they discovered while on a scavenger hunt in the house. Overall the house had lots of wonderful areas, served our group very well and everyone loved it. We would highly recommend Dahlia.

Best of the best!
We stayed 10 days in this spectacular vacation house. The house is well equipped with high end kitchen appliances, quality items from the beds, towels and furniture. In addition to being the most well equipped, it is meticulously clean and well maintained, it is artfully designed and decorated. But what made our stay so special, was the extraordinary customer service we received from Penny. She is a great host and we would love to come back. I highly recommend this house, it is by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in.
