About this property
Walk to Beach & Downtown • River + Lake Views • Huge 3-Level Home Sleeps 16
Once part of the historic Grandview Hotel overlooking the bluff, this beautifully renovated 3-level home offers one of the best locations in South Haven — just a 1-minute walk to downtown and a short stroll to the beach, riverfront, harbor, and marina. Guests love the unbeatable walkability, stunning views, and spacious layout perfect for families and groups.
From the home’s multiple decks (front and back on every level), guests enjoy bluff views, treetop views, views of the river from both the front and back of the property, and beautiful Lake Michigan views. Morning light, evening sunsets, and year-round scenery make this home truly special.
Inside, the home features three full levels of living space, multiple family rooms, flexible sleeping areas, and thoughtful touches designed to accommodate groups of all sizes. Historic charm blends seamlessly with modern updates throughout.
Located steps from restaurants, shopping, ice cream, coffee, and lakefront paths, guests can park once and walk everywhere. Families especially love that Kids’ Corner — one of the best playgrounds in the area — is only a few blocks away.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jill - Owner
I grew up in South Haven and spent my entire childhood just minutes from this home. After attending Michigan State, I moved to Florida, but my heart has always stayed here. My family and closest friends still live in South Haven, and I return with my own family every summer. Hosting this home allows me to share the joy, beauty, and memories of this special town with others. I currently live in Tampa, Florida, but South Haven will always be “home.”
Why they chose this property
I purchased and lovingly renovated this home in 2005 because of its extraordinary character and history. The property is over 100 years old and was originally part of the iconic Grand Hotel overlooking the bluff. The neighborhood offers the perfect blend of charm, walkability, and peaceful views. It’s ideal for gathering family and friends, and the upgraded amenities and open layout were designed specifically for entertaining and creating unforgettable memories.
What makes this property unique
This home stands out with three levels of expansive decks overlooking both the lake and the river — offering rare front-and-back water views and picture-perfect sunsets.
Inside, the open-concept layout is designed for effortless entertaining, featuring an oversized family room with abundant seating for large groups. A spacious third-floor family loft provides another gathering area with stunning panoramic water views — a favorite spot for morning coffee or sunset watching.
Step outside to the huge back deck, complete with a large dining table, plenty of seating, and a cozy fire pit surrounded by chairs and a built-in wrap-around bench. It’s the ultimate space for cookouts, s’mores, gatherings, or simply relaxing under the stars.
With multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, incredible views on every level, and thoughtful touches throughout, this home is perfect for family reunions, multi-family stays, or group getaways.
