We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean. The location was great. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck. The fence was great for our pups. It was only a short walk to the tram/stairs to the beach.

Long weekend to visit family

The home is beautiful and in a perfect location. If you love sunsets, this is the place to be. Everything was clean and well-stocked with anything you may need during your stay.

Lovely time

Really enjoyed our short stay at your property. The views of the lake were amazing. The house had a sort of “Michigan cabin feel” that I appreciated. Kitchen was very well stocked. South Haven has a lot to offer. Enjoyed cherry and blueberry picking. Had a great time!

Nice, Peaceful Stay with a Lakeview

Beautiful home and well cared for! We enjoyed the lake view from the inside large open floor plan with lots of windows. Nico loved the large, beautiful enclosed back yard. It’s convenient to have 2 bathrooms too. It would be nice to come back in the warmer months to enjoy that long front porch. The owners were very accommodating and responded quickly. We visited all 3 restaurants they recommended. Great food! Highly recommend this home!!!

Lovely home closer to lake and private local beach. Lake sunsets viewed from the porch. Large open floorplan. And pet family members enjoyed the fenced back yard. We will be back.

Quiet and relaxing stay

The Rock House was a perfect spot for my husband and I to recharge with our dogs. This was by far the most dog friendly rental we have ever experienced. Spotless, quiet, welcoming. Gorgeous sunset. Met all our needs and more. Would love to return for a longer stay. Thank you Michelle and William.

Fantastic - cozy, great location, and amazing views!

My wife and I booked for a long weekend in November and our experience was great. Check-in/check-out was easy. We had a couple questions for the owners during our stay and they were very responsive (got back to us within minutes) and provided additional information that would be helpful for managing through some unexpected colder temps. The location is perfect - great lake and sunset views; quiet; close to both South Haven and Saugatuck/Douglas. Overall, would stay here again and would recommend to others.

Beautiful Home to Enjoy the Lake!

We loved our stay at Rock Lake House. The home was comfortable for our family of five and the location to the beach was convenient and adventurous to navigate the tram. Our girls loved it! We loved how the home came with so many touches to make the stay easy and comfortable - the kitchen was fully stocked and plenty of extra blankets for cozy nights. The location to town is easy and away from the crowds and it was great to enjoy the lake along with a few other community families. Thank you for our stay!

Wonderful home on Lake Michigan

My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at this home. I have not one complaint about our stay. Owners were very easy to communicate with, check in and check out was seamless, and the house had everything we needed, even for our dog! The walk to the tram/stairs to the beach was just down the road, not far at all. Very friendly neighborhood and beautiful sunsets right off the back deck. We cannot wait to return!

Family Getaway

Overall, our stay was great for kids, teens and adults. Nothing too fancy that 9-10 year olds could break 😅 but structurally safe and sound. Great location. We understand the massive amount of work that goes into renting as we are landlords as well. Good luck with your renovations! See you next time! We

It’s exactly what we needed. Lake front. Gorgeous views. A yard to play in. Fenced in backyard for the pooch. A fire pit. Cool rustic cottage feel. Property owner couldn’t have been nicer and more responsive. We’ll be back.

Amazing!!!

The property was as amazing as the pictures show. Thr walk to the trams/stairs down to the water was close by. Full disclosure, the beach is very rocky but that is part of the lake Michigan erosion and can't be helped. Still can find cool rocks and sea glass. Check in and out was easy. Would stay again for sur!!!
