Family time

Beautiful little house just about one mile from Lake Michigan. We enjoyed our walks to the beach and getting to climb the sand dunes. House is just around the corner from a small store that had a little bit of everything. Van Buren National Park is just a short walk from the house. Definitely would recommend and would go back again.

Great location

Very neat and tidy. We loved the quieter location away from downtown, but quick walk to Dunes and short drive to State Park, Downtown and N. And S. Beach.

Good Stay for Families

We had an overall great stay. I actually really liked that the property is away from the busyness of the main area of South Haven but no more than a 10 minute drive if you want to go there. We loved the close proximity to the beach at Van Buren Park, how well the air conditioning units worked, and the large yard and privacy. The space worked well with a two-year old toddler too! The only reason I wouldn’t give it a perfect 5 star rating is the water is definitely a little brown so just be prepared to bring or buy some filtered water for drinking. There were also some small bugs like ants and spiders, but to the owners’ credit we saw preventative measures around to take care of them and understand it’s hard to completely get rid of them with all the nature around. Finally, just a few recommendations to make the place even better—a foam topper on the bed in the bigger room would do a lot to improve comfort, as well as some small bedside tables. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for those who want to be a little closer to nature but not too far from the main area of South Haven!

Lovely place to stay

We loved our stay here! The cottage was clean and beautiful, and it's minutes away from the beaches and shops. We could not have asked for a better location or home to stay for our trip. Highly recommend!
