Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area and gives everyone a chance to pick that perfect apple from one of our amazing local orchards. And winter offers skiing at one of the local resorts or cross-country trails, snowmobiling, lake or pond ice skating, plus plenty more snow-filled fun.
We’re just 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms - amazing pies and fruit picking. Enjoy a tasting and tour of local favorite Fenn Valley Winery, one of the many vineyards our area is known. For antique lovers, the area has a treasure trove of stores in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck. Summer brings adventure in the sun featuring Saugatuck dune rides, sparkling South Haven beaches, biking trails, and fresh fruit aplenty: cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches will be ripe for picking here in the farming heart of Southwest Michigan.

Marissa, thank you so much for leaving us a review! We truly hope that you enjoyed your stay with us and glad to hear that the lake access was a hit with the kids!
We have a family of 14 - 7 adults & 7 kids ranging in age from 16 down to 8. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fishing was fantastic & the lake was quiet enough for even the youngest kids to kayak. The kids loved the game room & spent the chillier days playing pool & fusball. We hope to come back next year.

Happy to hear that our amenities kept your family busy during your stay! Hope to hear from you again soon.
My extended family stayed for a week at the house in Pullman. This included my older parents along with my family and my sisters’ families. We had people ranging in ages from 75 to 10.

Thank you, Rebecca for staying at home for your family vacation. We hope that you'll consider us again for next summer!
The layout is ideal for a larger gathering with good room to visiting inside if weather doesn't cooperate. Very nice place.

We thank you so much for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review, Thomas, and we hope that you will consider one of our homes when you plan your next vacation, weekend getaway, business trip, family event, or small corporate event.
We had stayed here last year and loved it. Everyone had their own room, the kitchen was stocked with all utensils etc. being on the lake was great!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Nice location, great outdoor space. Plenty of room for large groups. There wasn’t any air conditioning in one main floor bedroom, and it wasn’t working in the pink bunk room. Using the all the bedroom air conditioning units upstairs caused the circuit to trip.
Close to home for us and clean!
Loved the beachfront, the whole family enjoyed everything this home had to offer!
Many large fish caught, so close to the home. So quiet and peaceful, very private, the Grandkids enjoyed the pool table as well - Perfect for the large family getaway
Looking forward to booking in the future
The lake house and property were excellent and filled all our expectations. My family had a wonderful time. The private beach and canoe was a hit. Enjoyed by everyone from age 14 months to 61.

Thank you so much for choosing our home, and for your very thoughtful comments, Debbie We really appreciate that our home was instrumental in making your family time so fulfilling. We work very hard to make sure our homes and grounds are comfortable, clean, and inviting, and we love knowing that meeting our goals helps to ensure that our guests have the best possible experience. We hope that you will keep us in mind when planning future vacations, family events, weekend getaways, or even small corporate events.
Great property just outside of South Haven. It was perfect for us including our three children, their spouses and five grandchildren! Lots of bedrooms & bathrooms to handle us all.
My large extended family recently stayed at the property and had a great experience. The house was as advertised with plenty of room for everyone. The backyard and lake are great for kids. Proximity to South Haven, Holland and Lake Michigan made beach days east’s. We would definitely stay again.

We are so pleased to know that you found our home just as advertised, and that you enjoyed it so much you would come back again. This is high praise indeed, and we are so grateful for our guests!
This house and property were perfect for our get together. It worked really well for multiple families to share the space. Plenty of options on-site for activities to keep everyone busy. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. There's a great orchard down the road, nice local businesses in Pullman, and close to the attractions in Saugatuck and South Haven! I hope we get to visit again.
Rented the house for a fall weekend in Michigan with family. Had kids ages 4-10 and they loved it. The house was perfect for what we were looking for, clean and the location was close to apple picking and pumpkin farms.
great lakefront setting, and the house had plenty of space so that we never felt crampt. the living/game room is a great asset. kitchen is great with everything we needed. We would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed, and more. Excellent communication from owner and property manager. The private beach was great, we just wished the lake was a bit deeper for swimming and lounging.

Thank you for sharing, Lori. We love taking care of our guests--and we love our lake!
We had a great time, and everyone in our group aged 6-68 said they would go back! The beach front is perfect for kids to play in the water or fish off the dock. There's plenty of room for everyone to eat and play board games, and the game room is situated so that games of pool or movies don't dominate the sounds of the whole house. Check in and out was easy and we didn't encounter any issues that warranted contacting management during our stay.
Great property for a large group. We had 13 kids and adults. A couple minor problems and concerns. The smoke alarms went off on our first night, but not again. We have a granddaughter in a wheelchair and it was fairly tight in spots for her. The showers upstairs are tiny (all my kids mentioned this). The week we stayed it was really hot and there are only window air conditioners that kept blowing the fuse.

Thank you so much for your review during your stay with us over the summer. We will look into these issues that you've mentioned with our team before our summer season next year. We hope to see you again in the future.
What a gorgeous VRBO. Me and my group had the time of our lives from morning to day. The property is gorgeous and fit all of us comfortably between each level. The backyard leading up to the water was the highlight of our trip along with the grass and ample room from deck to water. The communication from the team was quick and precise and never seemed to be bother with any questions I had. Thanks again!

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Kosten
I love helping people find the perfect vacation rental for their needs, and I've been managing this growing group of homes in southwest Michigan since 2011. As a lover of the water and the natural beauty Michigan has in abundance, I hope that the folks who stay in our homes come to appreciate the area as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The owners fell in love with southwest Michigan on a trip to visit friends in South Haven nearly 15 years ago. As Chicago natives, they were immediately enchanted by the serene atmosphere and natural beauty — not to mention the extensive outdoor activities. Since then, they have embraced the tradition of spending holidays and summer weekends in the area, and it was only a matter of time before they decided to find a vacation home of our own.
They discovered this, their first gorgeous property, on Upper Scott Lake in Lee Township over ten years ago. They began renting the cottage there out of a desire to share their wonderful experiences there with others. Now with 8 additional rental properties, they love offering a simple countryside alternative to busy city life.
What makes this property unique
The Upper Scott Lakefront and nearby Lee Township, MI, are part of a quiet community where many vacationers return year after year to enjoy the lovely seasonal changes, as well as fishing, cycling, water sports, and golf. The Upper Scott Lake Retreat is one of just a few comfortable and spacious vacation homes gathered on the shores of Upper Scott Lake, giving the area a quiet and close-knit feel. The dazzling sunsets and stunning lake view make for a nature-lover's dream!
