About this property

You'll love staying in the updated, and full of character, South Farm property. The 140-year old home sits on 2 acres that borders nearly 300 acres of the south tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve, and is minutes to nearby beaches including the 1200-ft, dog-friendly beach at the north tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve (just two miles north to the parking lot, then a short nature trail walk). The south preserve offers hiking/nature trails, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and birdwatching. South Farm is minutes from the crossroads of Glenn, MI, nearby farm stands and breweries, and is only 15 minutes from the large beaches and attractions in South Haven and Saugatuck (Douglas and Fennville too!). The property comes with all the comforts of home, a spacious outdoor patio, fire pit, grille, EV charger, yard games, beach wagon and supplies - you'll enjoy relaxing all day long. The kids will love the bunk beds and separate upstairs bonus room, equipped with a 50-inch TV ready for streaming and gaming (bring your own system). We love our place and know you will too.

Perfect Fall getaway

This was our second stay at South Farm. Just as lovely for the family as the last visit. Cozy living room where everyone could hang out and play games. Big kitchen and dining area. Plenty of sleeping spaces. Lots to do in the area — and the nearly empty beaches are beautiful for walking even on chilly Fall days. Love this place — we will be back.

Farmhouse stay

This older farmhouse sits on an incredible piece of property, heavily treed with a plentiful and species variety of large, mature trees. We saw our share of deer, wild turkeys, chipmunks and lightning-fast red squirrels. We also enjoyed using the direct access trail to the nature preserve. It was a fun experience. Thank you.

Fantastic family trip

This was a first outting with three families and their babies! What a fun experience. We loved the farmhouse cottage feel and being in nature. Zach was super accommodating when we were trying to checkout with four toddlers, it got a little crazy. I'm glad I called him and he made me feel less stressed about trying to tie up loose ends on check out process. Thanks again guys such a fun family trip and memories!

Great Getaway

Our stay at South Farm was wonderful. Everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy oneself either alone or en masse. The nearby beaches were beautiful and the neighborhood was as nice as could be. Great kitchen and cookout/eating patio space. Perfect place to get together with family.
