The house was nice and clean and the host was friendly and communicative. Lots of extra blankets for everyone was nice too and extra towels for the hot tub as well
This was such an amazing location and property! Just 15 minutes away from downtown South Haven. Very private, very safe area. We did a girl’s trip for three nights. The kitchen and bathroom were very well appointed. The beds were so comfortable. We were obsessed with the couch- so much so one of us is trying to find it to purchase for their home. 10/10! We hope to make it an annual trip to this exact location. Great communication and great host!
This property is wonderful! Home was incredibly clean, decorated beautiful, had plenty of supplies for our weekend, was cozy and the hot tub was very relaxing. Absolutely no complaints about our trip! Wouldn’t hesitate to rent this house again!
The pictures did not do this place justice! This was the perfect quiet get away. Don't be afraid to check out the local area spots not in South Haven or Saugatuck. We did the Dune Tours in Saugatuck. Modales winery was also a nice hidden gem. Check out the visitor's guide that Holly provides as she provides great suggestions!!
The schoolhouse property was perfect for our family. Cozy main room with a well appointed kitchen, comfy beds and a firepit and hottub. We’re looking forward to the next time we can sneak away and hang at the schoolhouse for some much needed RR
