About this property
Rustic Private Cottage w/ 4 Bedrooms + Close to
Stairway to Haven is located in Highland Park, a historic and iconic cottage community just up the hill from Grand Haven State Park. With cottages dating back to the early 1900's, Highland Park has been a popular vacation destination for over a century.
"The house had a peaceful cabin feel even though the beach was only a 5-minute walk away. Great location. Would love to stay here again."
River D.
Stairway to Haven is situated on a wooded dune and just a short walk from beach access. The cottage is close to everything Grand Haven has to offer while still offering peace, quiet, and serenity to its guests. It is not unusual to see deer and other wildlife meandering around just behind the property.
Take a short stroll to the beautiful sandy beaches just down the hill, or make the quick trip into Downtown Grand Haven to have dinner, do some shopping, or take in the famous Musical Fountain.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
This air-conditioned home has four bedrooms and one bathroom and half bath in the laundry area (basement), a fully stocked kitchen, spacious living room, and porch areas as well as outdoor sitting areas behind the property and on the side of the house. Two parking spaces are provided.
*Please note that this property is at the top of the hill and there are many stairs (100) to climb to get to the home*

REVIEWS
"We loved the house! It was very relaxing to sit on in the sun room with the windows open and listen to the trees, birds and feel the cool breeze. We loved the rustic look! The homes had everything you needed for a great trip! Each room had a fan and multiple outlets. It was a work out to get to the house, up all the steps but we loved it and it was very unique. "
Dawne S.
"We had a lovely stay. It feels like you are in a treehouse; so peaceful and beautiful and only a few minutes from the beach! The stairs are real - you were warned but they are totally worth it."
Christy P.
