About this property

The Sanctuary - Halfway point between South Haven and Saugatuck - Walking distance to Lake Michigan

Welcome to Sanctuary House

Sanctuary House, a chic, relaxed, contemporary house with room for 10, sits in the middle of its own six-acre forest of hardwood trees. Perfect for a relaxing vacation.

INSIDE THE HOME
Its warm, uncluttered interior boasts gorgeous amber pine floors (great for allergy sufferers!) and an open living and dining area, with a breakfast nook. But the real star of the house is the spacious screened porch, completely surrounded by forest. Ahhh.

Feeling sporty? The house has its own tennis court (and rackets), great for tennis of course, but also soccer, skating, and goofing around. There are lawn games and various beachy things, and since Glenn's little-visited beach is just a half-mile walk on a private path through the woods, you'll be needing them. (You can also drive to the beach – parking is usually available and always free.) The beach is rocky, however, so water shoes are strongly recommended. When you get back, the outdoor shower awaits, as does a charcoal grill on the patio, a fire ring for s'mores, and a first-rate hammock by the creek.

THE LOCATION
The tiny town of Glenn consists of one flashing light, one convenience store (which has all the essentials and makes good pizza), and one diner (which is everything a diner should be). Even though the delights of Saugatuck and South Haven are just 15 minutes away on the beautiful Blue Star Highway, you may find it hard to leave.

Great Location, Nice spaces, Mattresses Iffy

The Sanctuary is a nice place with plenty of different spaces to gather, and great for groups of 8-10 or so. The screened in deck was great, the kitchen large and the front porch was nice in the mornings also. Areas for improvement: the twin mattresses and the basement queen are in need of replacement and some of family really struggled to get a decent nights sleep. The artwork on the walls was also very personal, different and a little disconcerting for our group. Beauty in the eye of the beholder . . . Very convenient location overall, though.

Family Vacation

Three generations of our family very much enjoyed our stay at the Sanctuary House. The open plan was great for our 3 toddlers to play as the adults visited and cooked together. There was plenty of space for 10 adults without feeling crowded, with the screen porch, front porch, and large basement. We enjoyed making s’mores at the fire pit surrounded with Adirondack chairs and played pickleball on the tennis court. The nearby beaches within a short drive were beautiful and we were delighted to have access to a walkable beach as well. Excursions to pick blueberries and visit the Dutch Village in Holland were fun too. We would love to return next summer!

Nice Getaway

A group of ten and 2 dogs, we had plenty of space. We enjoyed the wooded surroundings away from the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to enjoy Saugatuck, South Haven and Holland. We enjoyed bonfires at night in the fire pit area. The kids enjoyed playing on the tennis court. Saw quite a few deer and a couple of wild turkeys. Had a minor plumbing issue that was addressed quickly by property management. Had an enjoyable stay.
