About this property

Wildhaus Retreat | Hot Tub • Private Walking Trail

Summary:

Tucked into 10 private wooded acres just minutes from downtown South Haven, Wildhaus is a design-forward 2,500+ sq. ft. retreat with natural walking trails surrounding the property, soaring ceilings, a gorgeous island & chef’s kitchen, game garage, spacious fenced-in yard, and serene views throughout. Enjoy direct Kal-Haven Trail access, space to relax or work remotely, and high-speed Starlink internet perfect for streaming, gaming, or Zoom calls.



The Space:

Ideal for families, creatives, and nature lovers alike, Wildhaus sits at the top of a private shaded drive nestled among the trees. Secluded and serene, you'll feel safe from the hustle-and-bustle while only being minutes from South Haven’s beaches, shops, and top restaurants.



Wildhaus welcomes guests with its soaring ceilings, dramatic walls of windows, warm wood finishes, and panoramic forest views throughout the home. The open-concept Great Room centers around a beautiful stone fireplace, flowing into a fully equipped chef's kitchen featuring granite countertops, high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator, and everything needed for preparing memorable meals together. The design-forward master suite features its own double-sided fireplace shared with the spa-inspired ensuite bathroom, creating the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. Dedicated workspace and fast WiFi make it easy to work remotely while enjoying the calm setting.



Outside, you'll find ten private wooded acres to explore, including a quarter-mile walking trail where deer and wild turkeys are frequent visitors. The fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for kids and dogs to play, while the patio is perfect for al fresco dining beneath the trees. After a day at the beach or exploring South Haven, unwind in the hot tub or head to the game room for pool, ping pong, foosball, darts, and hours of family fun.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very clean and large house!!! Large fenced yard with grassy flat area (front and back). Master bedroom was huge with a large bathroom and walk in closet! The only slight hiccup was the two secondary bedrooms had to share a bathroom (for night time use only) as the 3rd bathroom is more centrally located vs each having its own. Again that was the only snall negative. Wonderful kitchen and pantry area with large laundry room as well! This house is located on a wonderfully wooded lot with a large hot tub and large garage game room with lots of options! We all loved this place, its location, cleanliness, and communication (had storms and lost power forca short time). Communication with owner was outstanding consideringit it was a Sunday evening!!! Such a great host! Would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat!!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad Wildhaus was such a hit with your group. From the spacious primary suite and fenced yard to the hot tub and garage game room, it sounds like you were able to enjoy everything the property has to offer. We appreciate your understanding during the brief power outage and are happy our team could help make things go smoothly. Thank you for recommending Wildhaus—we'd love to welcome you back for another stay in the woods!
