Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gail Scherquist

We began coming to South Haven 10 years ago. Right away we knew we'd found our home away from home. Beautiful beaches, great wineries, just the right amount of things to do - with or without kids. We were so lucky to find our own little piece of heaven.
Why they chose this property
This property is nestled just off North Shore, just far enough from the hustle and bustle (well, as hustling and bustling as South Haven is), this home is steps from Lake Michigan and only 1.0 mile from downtown, is newly constructed and just the right size for us. The large backyard is perfect for throwing a ball, taking a nap in the hammock, or using the custom made large fire pit with wood provided. Home is tucked away on a very secluded street.
What makes this property unique
Red's Retreat is a fully stocked private home. We want our guests to feel relaxed and comfortable and enjoy time away from busy schedules and to-do lists. We've tried to think of everything you would need: beach cart, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, hammock, fire pit (and wood), comfy beds and quality craftsmanship. Come stay and unwind.
