The Anchor House is a dream come true for big groups traveling together. The amenities cover anything you could possibly need, rooms are comfortable and quiet, there are many different areas to be with a big group or have a moment alone, kitchen is fully stocked, every in of the house was perfectly clean, and you can't beat the bathroom count! So thankful to our hosts who clearly put so much love into this place- and grateful for the quick support whenever we had a question. We'll absolutely be booking again!

We held our team retreat here, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place for the weekend. Each room was incredibly beautiful, neat, and clean. Everyone from our dance team was so impressed with the space and immediately felt comfortable settling into the house. We had plenty of linens and towels for our group of 25, and we had ample space throughout the house for everyone. Finally, our group LOVED the stunning views of Lake Michigan, the arcade room, the hot tub, and all the different living spaces for everyone to mix and mingle throughout the day. Thomas and his co-hosts were also very proactive and responsive, especially as our final group size shifted the week leading up to our retreat. We had one of the best team retreats here, and I would highly recommend Thomas's house to other large groups or families looking for a fun, comfortable, and beautiful getaway!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this amazing Racine Anchor House! The property had plenty of room for our group. We found so many great spots throughout the house to relax, hang out, and make memories. Even though the house is big, it still felt warm and cozy, and we especially loved the fireplaces. They added such a comforting vibe. The house is as beautiful as shown, and the view is gorgeous. Sitting in the hot tub, we could watch the full moon come up over Lake Michigan. And during the day, we loved watching the dogs run around in the nearby dog park. The beds were super comfy, and everything was clean and well cared for. The kitchen is well-stocked and even the knives were sharp (which is rare). Communication with the hosts was excellent. They were super responsive whenever we reached out. Our group enjoyed the stay so much that we’re already planning another get-together here. Highly recommend! …except please don’t book the weeks we want. :)

Our group had a great stay here! Bigger than we thought, absolutely gorgeous, clean, and well stocked! We had a minor problem with heat one morning and when I reached out I had answers and suggestions within minutes. We are hoping to be able to stay here again in the future.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The view is truly stunning, and the entire place was sparkling clean with beautiful decorations throughout. There were lots of thoughtful amenities that made our trip even better. The hosts were incredibly friendly, flexible, and responsive—our family had a great time and would love to return. Highly recommend!
