Conveniently located two blocks from the beach at the blue stairs and breathtaking sunsets over Lake Michigan! One block from the amazing Kids Corner playground, 5 blocks to the kids Splash pad and 5-6 blocks from downtown. Plus steps away from the paved Van Buren State Park Trail and a short ride to the Kal-Haven 33.5 mile trail for biking, running or walking.

Love the water? Ask us for information on fishing charters (contact us for guest discounts) or sailboat cruise.

Our cottage is open for year round fun and is the perfect winter retreat! Walk, cross country ski or snowmobile the Kal-Haven trail. Ice skate downtown in a festive atmosphere or go downhill skiing at Timber Ridge or Bittersweet 35-45 miles away. Take in a movie at Michigan Theatre of South Haven or play the over 65+ retro video games and pinball games at Rocket Arcade. Then shop and dine downtown after viewing the lighthouse in all of it’s winter glory! End the day by coming home to relax in front of a warm, cozy fireplace.

The cottage is perfect for a family vacations, girls retreat or romantic getaway.

The cottage sits on a double lot in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood. The property features a custom brick firepit and open grassy area is to the right of a large brick patio/driveway. This space is perfect for making memories with friends and family.

We also love to give back! Our family gives to local causes like the South Haven Community foundation for things like scholarships, park improvements and as well as donates our time in the community. Your stay also helps support some wonderful local families and businesses that help us with our homes. Thank you very much for thinking of us for your stay! We love sharing our hospitality with you!

Why they chose this property

We started coming to South Haven when we were dating in 1999. In 2019 after looking in a real estate magazine we found & purchased this 149 year old home. It was a diamond in the rough with no plumbing, no heating & no kitchen. We love South Haven & were so excited to have our own slice of heaven near Lake Michigan! After 14 months non-stop work we had transformed the home into what looks & feels like a brand new cottage. We decided to rent it to pay for the payments on the home & in the process realized we LOVE hosting! There is nothing greater than hearing about how our home brings people together.

What makes this property unique

Our home is designed with you in mind. We love designing a places that feel like home with a simple, timeless style. Our family and the local people that help us take great pride in offering a updated home with great hospitality.
