Plush seating arrangements ensure everyone has a comfortable place to sit, whether you're watching a movie on the flat-screen TV, reading a book, or simply enjoying each other's company. The seamless flow between these spaces enhances the sense of unity and makes this vacation home an ideal place to relax, connect, and enjoy each other's company.

The upstairs master suite is a luxurious and tranquil haven, offering a serene escape from daily life. This spacious retreat features a plush queen bed with high-quality linens and large windows that flood the room with natural light, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding trees. A highlight of the suite is the private soaker tub, perfectly positioned to offer relaxing soaks with views of the lush greenery outside.

The home also features a spacious, lush yard where kids and dogs can play freely, providing ample space for games and activities. Meanwhile, you can relax on the deck, keeping a watchful eye on the fun below. For outdoor dining, utilize the natural gas grill, perfect for preparing delicious meals to enjoy al fresco on the deck.

We were so happy to walk into such a beautiful home. Even though we brought most of our own stuff, we appreciated that this house was equipped with everything we could need was amazing just steps from the beach. (May 2024)

The house was wonderful for 4 adults, 3 year old and 3 small dogs. House had large areas to cook, eat and relax. It was clean and spacious for our family. The nice sandy beach was a short walk and a flight of stairs, so we also got some steps in. The big windows on the main floor allowed us to see the trees and the windows on the top floor showed gorgeous sunsets over the lake. The location was only a short drive to downtown South Haven and freeway, so an ideal spot. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your house. (June 2024)

Very clean, comfortable house. Kitchen is fairly well stocked. Bring your own spices etc. if you plan on doing much cooking. Both fireplaces had broken screens and ignition didnt work. That was a disappointment as nights were cool and it would have been nice to use one of them. House is nestled in lovely wooded area with vaulted ceiling and wall to wall windows which create a beautiful space. Bed is very comfortable and linens and towels are good quality. There were some minor repairs that should be attended to which I passed along to management company. A very nice home which I would recommend. Wed like to return. (October 2024)

Fantastic location only steps from the lake - very nice beach with views of lake from above. House has many windows facing a wooded ravine. Beautiful site. The location is also close to the heart of South Haven with its extensive harbor and beautiful beaches. Very comfortable and well appointed house. Lovely deck surrounds the house - wooded and private. We especially appreciated the dog-friendly rental and neighborhood! Recommend great walks along beach and views from the pier and excellent Michigan Maritime Museum in town. Highly recommend this rental! (September 2024)

Enjoyed our stay for a long week, beautiful view of woods from huge wall of windows, a few steps from the beach, very peaceful area. Fireplace was a little disappointing because it was gas, I love the atmosphere of wood burning. We had a bit of confusion on how to turn the gas fireplace on, no directions were posted. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking. I would stay again, love that dogs are allowed. (October 2024)

Property was clean and well furnished. Property was located on a quiet dead end road but there was easy access to downtown and other attractions. View and access to beach/lake were just a few steps away. The Guest House was just as listed.
