Vast Lakefront Home with Rec Room and Fire Pit

Summary:
Welcome to Heron's Landing! This lakefront home with an open concept has the same floor plan/amenities as 4 of our other homes sitting right next to each other on Upper Scott Lake.

It's 1 of 18 beautiful listings we have in the Scott Lakes area! We offer a variety of home sizes to fit your needs, and we're happy to help you plan your next trip. Our goal is to make your stay effortless and unforgettable. Book today and start making memories!

Ask about kayak rental, fishing, or docking your boat.

The Space:
This home features 2,612 sq ft and is a ranch-style home set on a private lot along the east shore of Upper Scott Lake. It has 75 feet of private lake frontage, a spacious lawn, and a fire pit perfect for evening gatherings right in the middle of the backyard. This retreat offers the best of both relaxation and adventure. While the home sits back from the water’s edge, you’ll have access to a private dock and swimming area, making it ideal for lake lovers. The lake starts shallow enough for several feet, making it ideal for those with little ones wanting to enjoy the lake!

Inside, the great room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking lake views, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy lounge area with leather seating and a 55” HD TV, and a dining table large enough to accommodate up to 12 guests. The rec room is a haven for entertainment, featuring pool, air hockey, and foosball tables, plus a second media lounge with another 55” HD TV and plush seating. And new for summer 2025, we've added two king beds only to this home! This means we can now offer king, queen, and twin bed options all within one home!

Step outside onto the lake-facing deck, where two large dining tables provide seating for up to 16, or enjoy meals in the screened porch, complete with a ceiling fan and a 7-piece dining set. The XL Titan park-style charcoal grill (new for spring 2024) is ready for cookouts all year long, making this the perfect spot for summer barbecues.

Whether you’re here for swimming, fishing, or simply unwinding by the fire, Heron’s Landing is the ultimate lakefront retreat for up to 16 guests.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the entire property, including the private dock, swimming area, and our complimentary canoe.
Guests have the flexibility to gain convenient access to our home via the keypad entry system any time after the designated check-in time on their scheduled arrival date.
Note: Our docks, watercraft, gas grills & outdoor dining furniture are not available Oct 25-Apr 15.

The Neighborhood:
Discover the charm of Upper Scott Lake and beyond, with nearby attractions that offer plenty of year-round activities.

Summer means dune rides in Saugatuck, soaking up all the fun and sun at South Haven & Saugatuck's beautiful beaches, biking trails, and finding fruit galore: cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches.
Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area, and picking fresh apples or sipping cider straight from local orchards.
And Michigan winters offer skiing, ice skating, and plenty of other snow-filled fun.
We’re 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms - amazing pies and fruit picking. There are over 27 area wineries offering tastings and tours! For antique lovers, the area has a treasure trove of stores in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck.
Make your next getaway your best ever by choosing one of our wonderful lakefront homes!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Our group was 10 college friends who hadn’t all been together for several years. The size of the house (bedrooms & bathrooms) was perfect. The main room not only had a great view of the lake, but was more than large enough for us to all be together cooking, laughing & just catching up. The location is ideal for relaxing & the team was very responsive to any questions we had. The only negative relates to the lack of window treatments in the main room & game room. On a sunny day you may need to wear sunglasses in the main room as the sun gets lower in the sky. At night, you feel a little exposed especially as the house has neighbors on both sides.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this house, perfect layout for our big family. The view of the lake is spectacular, and the fire is a great place to gather in the evenings. We would have loved it, though, if hairdryers and beach towels were provided; they are very bulky and heavy to carry in your suitcase on the plane. Would be a nice addition!

Girls Trip

We stayed here for our yearly girls trip. The house was a wonderful fit of our needs plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone. The view of the lake was wonderful especially as we enjoyed the firepit one afternoon. The kitchen was well stocked and equipped with all the utensils you could need. Only disappointment was the cleanliness of the grill. We planed to cookout one night and the grill was clean and not taken care of.

House checked all the boxes

We've rented several lake homes thru VRBO over the years; this house, Heron's Landing, was by far the best. Plenty of space for the family with 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. A really nice size kitchen with a table plenty large enough for the adults and a smaller table for the kids. The game room was a total hit. And the lake area - from beach to pier - was perfect. OK, the lake was a little "weedy" but that's what you get with a smaller lake. And a smaller lake also means quieter, less speed craft. All in all, a perfect getaway lake house.

Family get away

The property was just as described. Very comfortable for large families. The outdoor area was very nice, large beautiful fire pit perfect for the cooler evenings we had with a beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed taking the canoe out on the lake. The lake was small enough for us to get a chance and explore all the shoreline. The kitchen was very large which was perfect for all of us to cook together. Close to the quaint towns of Saugatuck and South Haven. Both had many options for lunch and dinner. The only issue we had was with receiving the door code. The door code for check in is only provided via e-mail 10 minutes prior to check in. In our case we never received the door code and trying to reach the host was challenging. There is somewhat spotty cell reception in the area so it was a concern when we did not receive it. Thankfully there was a note on the door when we arrived (at 5:10p) that gave a different house manager's name/# who answered the phone right away when we called and gave us the code.

The Heron’s Landing house was a great location for our annual Big Chill week for seven University of Michigan grads (all women 70). There was plenty of room with 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with lovely sunset views over the lake. The property was clean and quiet, and the owner was very responsive to questions before and during the stay. As noted in the VRBO description, wifi internet connectivity was a bit limited, generally allowing only 2-3 people to have sufficient signal access at any one time. Overall, we recommend this house for your next group get-away.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Kosten

Host profile image
I was raised in southwest Michigan, in the Grand Rapids area, and I have always reveled in the natural beauty to be found here in our Great Lakes State. I just love being near the water, so any chance I get to be near a lake is a perfect opportunity for me to relax and unwind. I hope you get to know our beautiful state when you stay with us, because to know it is to love it!

Why they chose this property

I was immediately drawn by the natural beauty of the lake and its environs — not to mention the extensive outdoor activities and peaceful surroundings. Since then, I have made it a priority to spend as many summer weekends in the area as I can.

What makes this property unique

This home was conceived and built specifically to cater to large groups and families who want to escape the mad rush of daily life and spend time growing closer to one another while experiencing all the tranquility and enjoyment that "life on the lake" has to offer. We have worked to provide a balance of comfort, functionality, charm, unity, and fun throughout our home and grounds. We even designed our outdoor spaces to provide maximum opportunities for gathering together to enjoy good meals and good conversation. We sincerely hope that the breathtaking lake views from the great room and lake-facing deck will inspire and astound you as much as they do us. We love creating welcoming spaces that draw you in with their charmingly decorated rooms designed with great care, and our greatest desire is to see you return year after year so you can continually create memorable moments with those you love.
