The Neighborhood:
Sunset Beach House is just one of our 15 getaways here in Michigan! In spring, enjoy the vibrant blooms and greenery. Summer brings fun opportunities to enjoy on the water—boating, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area or savoring the sweetness of locally-grown apples freshly picked from one of the many local orchards. Of course, winter offers skiing, sledding, ice skating, and plenty more snow-filled fun.
We’re 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms, famous for amazing pies and fruit picking. Fenn Valley Winery offers tastings and tours just a short drive away. Antique lovers will find that the area harbors a treasure trove of stores in nearby South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck. Summer brings the chance for Saugatuck dune rides, exploring the Lake Michigan shoreline on South Haven & Saugatuck's beautiful beaches, exercising up and down the scenic local biking trails, and sharing in the bounty of locally-grown fruit galore: savor freshly-picked cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches.

Getting Around:
You will need a car to see all that our area has to offer! We are conveniently located near several key coastal towns—just 15 minutes from downtown South Haven, 20 minutes from Saugatuck, and 25 minutes from Holland.

Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO) is located just under 45 miles SE of this home.
Gerald R. Ford Int'l. Airport (GRR) in Grand Rapids, is located about 57 miles NE of this home.
Amtrak's Pere Marquette line runs daily between Chicago, IL and Grand Rapids, MI through both Bangor, MI (15 miles south) and Holland, MI (25 miles north).

- Wi-Fi internet is provided by AT&T, but they only offer limited speeds best suited to web browsing & checking email. More than a few connected devices at a time will cause lag. We provide satellite TV & DVD players for all our homes since video streaming is not an option.
- No use of tinsel, glitter, confetti, feathers, etc. Nothing may be stuck to our walls, since this will damage the paint.

We had a great stay with our group of 10 friends. The access to the lake was great even though the weather wasn't on our side. Location was a bit further from other attractions than we anticipated but it was located between South Haven & Douglas/Saugatuck so we were able to visit both during our trip. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone to spread out. We couldn't find the remote during our stay but didn't end up using the TV much anyway. Communication with the host beforehand was great, answered all our questions and suggested things to do in the area. Great find for a Southwest MI getaway!

Great Remote Location

My friends and I chose this Vrbo for our annual retreat in a remote location and this served us well! Very spacious (we made it work for 12 young adults), the property management team was very efficient and proactive with their communication (they answered all questions), the check-in/out process was smooth, and the lake that the property was off of was beautiful.Though this is likely a more desirable place for a family summer vacation, my group and I had a great time. I would recommend this Vrbo for anyone looking for a place to stay in Pullman/South Haven.

Pullman Cottage

This lake house exceeded our expectations. Perfect place for our family to enjoy time together in the open kitchen and living space. Nice deck, yard and fire pit. The lake was very clean and shallow enough for kids to play. The house is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. It was nice to have enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 6 adults and 3 children. There was good communication with owner and property manager. We hope to return.

Peaceful getaway

We loved staying here! The house is perfectly set up for myself and my family, my brother and his, and my sister and hers. We had 7 adults and 6 kids very comfortably situated. The only thing i could ask for the house didnt have wasa game room or second living room. The lake was very peaceful and you dint have to worry about thenyounger kids going to deep as the lake is very sandy and shallow. Caught many sunfish and largemouth bass off the dock and canoe. Watch out for the swans and geese! Having the small fence to roll out came in handy. Thanks for a great stay!

Nice home

The house was the perfect set up and right on the water. Kitchen table(s) were great, perfect for dinners and game playing. Walk right out to the lake for ice fishing. Bedrooms were average size, fine for sleeping. We all really enjoyed our stay and wished we would've booked a longer trip! Our only complaints are that the grill had no propane, a previous review also showed the grill wasn't working properly so that could be related. And the biggest disappointment was the difference in the documents provided after booking. The SBH Brochure Rental Rates showed early check-in/late check-out could be available upon request for one price, and the listing showed another. There was a significant price difference that we felt should have been honored.

Snowy week in Michigan

Property had a great view and was very roomy. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. There was a strong cleaning solution smell upon arrival. There were ample paper products, towels and hot water. The internet was slow and spotty. Not sure if the weather affected it, but we had to reboot the router many times. The beds were comfortable. There were no easy chairs or rocking chairs so the only seating besides for around the tables was the couch and the couch cushions were well worn making the living room seating uneven and uncomfortable. The TV had a green line running across it which was distracting. The owner and property manager were easy to deal with, gave clear instructions and sent necessary information plenty early. We especially appreciated the property manager getting someone to shovel the walk and plow us out when we had so much more snow than expected (forecast was for 1-3" and we ended up getting probably close to 18"). We would book this place again.

This cottage is located on a very tranquil lake and hosted our family of 3 generstions with 6 adults & 4 kids, with room to spare. It is perfectly located between South Haven & Saigatuck, making it so easy for venturing to either town. The lake is a little mucky, once you get past knee deep, but is shallow, making it perfect for young kids. The open concept of kitchen dining and family was perfect for hanging out with beautiful views out to the lake. The master bath and shower are tiny, but didn’t bother us. Place was clean and beds were extremely comfortable. They even had a separate snack drawer for kids & separate drink fridge (very handy) and huge dining table to accommodate all of us. The views are amazing st sunset, especially with a bonfire and drink/smore to top off the end of the day.

We spent the weekend Fri-Sun. We were very lucky to have the most perfect weather. The view was terrific. We found things to do but if we hadn't left the house it would have been great too. House was great! We did have a lot of ladybug friends but this is the season and they didn't bother us. I appreciated the full stocked kitchen supplies but what is always nice was that there were spices and those kinds of things. It was easy access to wineries and the surrounding towns. Recommend!

Family Vacation 2024

Had a great week with the family. The house was great and was well stocked. The fence used to keep the geese out of the yard was a bit odd and annoying to have to take down to access the dock/lake. It was nice to have the kayak but it would have been nice to have a pontoon available. It was also a bit weird to have strangers wandering the yard every day scooping poop. Especially the guy who was complaining constantly while doing it as we sat on the front porch trying to read. Overall, the trip was great and the house was nice.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Kosten

Host profile image
I love helping people find the perfect vacation rental for their needs, and I've been managing this growing group of homes in southwest Michigan since 2011. As a lover of the water and the natural beauty Michigan has in abundance, I hope that the folks who stay in our homes come to appreciate the area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The owners fell in love with southwest Michigan on a trip to visit friends in South Haven nearly 15 years ago. As Chicago natives, they were immediately enchanted by the serene atmosphere and natural beauty — not to mention the extensive outdoor activities. Since then, they have embraced the tradition of spending holidays and summer weekends in the area, and it was only a matter of time before they decided to find a vacation home of our own.

They discovered their first gorgeous property on Upper Scott Lake in Lee Township over ten years ago. They began renting the cottage there out of a desire to share their wonderful experiences there with others. Now with three additional rental properties, they love offering a simple countryside alternative to busy city life.

What makes this property unique

The Upper Scott Lakefront and nearby Lee Township, MI, are part of a quiet community where many vacationers return year after year to enjoy the lovely seasonal changes, as well as fishing, cycling, water sports, and golf. Sunset Shores Lake House is one of just a few comfortable and spacious vacation homes gathered on the shores of Upper Scott Lake, giving the area a quiet and close-knit feel. The dazzling sunsets and stunning lake view make for a nature-lover's dream!
