Wendy's Cottage is spacious and cozy. Great location with an easy walk to restaurants and shops. Check in was easy and Trish was very quick to respond with any questions.
Great, except the drive way, it is narrow, we drove a honda crv and scratched one of the outside mirrors on the fence.Otherwise, the air conditioning was great, and all the other important things were wonderful.
Great house to stay in - it is very well maintained, clean, and has everything you need. Only challenge was parking/the driveway which was tight to drive through. As a heads up - if you have a large SUV like I did, it will be extremely difficult to park.
Very nice and cozy location. Within walking distance of everything. Has back patio and kitchen. Also many board games. I saw folks talking about the driveway but we had a Pacifica and it fit in the driveway, just couldn’t go back all the way but it didn’t ruin a thing. Communication with host was always fast and friendly.
We had a perfect long weekend in this adorable house! Everything was extremely clean, and the location was convenient to everything. The house had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again, no question!
We loved this well stocked and gorgeous cottage. We are used to staying closer to town, but we’re able to walk most everywhere. The driveway was very narrow for our SUV, but we made it work. Would definitely stay again.
We felt at home immediately! Very clean and comfortable vibe. Loved having two bathrooms with thick towels. Nicely decorated, too. Be aware that the house is on the 4 lane main road leading into South Haven.
We enjoyed our stay at Wendy's Cottage. It had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The deck in back is great, complete with a great grill and outdoor heater. I would only caution those bringing multiple cars that the driveway is quite tight.
Very nice clean house, good location. Parking on another street as the driveway is very narrow. We absolutely enjoyed our stay, thank you for everything!
Wendy’s cottage was a wonderful place to stay while visiting South Haven. It was clean and cozy. We were within walking distance to downtown where there’s many restaurants and shops. We and our friends are walkers and bikers and this property was close to walking and biking paths. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in South Haven. The cottage had so many personal touches we felt right at home.
Wendy’s Cottage was delightful. Super clean,well equipped and quite charming. When we absent mindedly locked ourselves out they responded to us immediately. Problem solved. I gave the location a 4 only because the street was so busy. Walkable location to so many things was great!
The property was very nice. Two bedrooms with queen/full beds, plus another queen/full in a loft area outside one of the bedrooms. Two full baths with showers. Our family of 4 never ran out of hot water. Host was nice enough to stock the fridge with bottled water and left some snacks to enjoy. The walk to downtown South Haven was no more than 15 minutes, which was great when we didn't feel like driving. We drove to the beach, but parking was easy to find. A lot of reviews mentioned the narrow driveway, which is true, but not a big deal. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. We would stay here again.
I rented this house with 4 of my lifelong friends to celebrate all of us turning 50 this year. We wanted to rent something fun and close to Lake Michigan. This house was perfect! We absolutely loved it. The paintings and decor was adorable. It made us feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked and the linens and towels were high quality. It made for a memorable trip. SoHa is a special place to us and we are so thankful for having the opportunity to be able to spend this time together. We definitely felt 50 & fabulous!!
Nice and clean property, small driveway situation.
Our Toyota Tundra did not fit in the driveway between the fence that is next door and the house. Wehad to park with the tail end of our vehicle sticking out onto the sidewalk. We also found it extremely dangerous to back out from this location onto the busy street. Just a heads up if you have a wide vehicle/truck, this was kind of a bummer and I felt like that should be mentioned in the listing. The rest of the house was very nice and clean and we enjoyed the use of the back deck that was private. No issues other than parking.
Extremely clean and well kept property....snacks/bottle of wine waiting to greet us . Very nice. Only thing parking is very narrow...we just had 1 car so it was not a problem. You can walk to downtown ,farmers market and beach pretty easy..
