Family Vacation

The house was great. Loved the property location to access the park so easily. The surrounding homes were less than desirable but home property was very private.

Wonderful place to get away in South Haven

We really enjoyed our get away near South Haven, beaches, and outdoor activities. House was comfortable and provided plenty of space (or privacy) for six adults, two kids, and a baby. The outdoor fire place, hot tub, basement/game room and numerous other amenities kept us entertained all weekend. The trail connected to the property led to the state park and dunes for some outdoor fun. Aubrey was a very gracious and tentative host, it's a very special place.

Best time ever

We had family from northern Michigan, the middle of Michigan, and Portugal all meeting at this beautiful home. We all had a great time…the adults had great meals cooked on the grill and the well appointed kitchen had every appliance you would ever need. The large deck was great also and allowed all 12 of us (8 adults and 4 kids) a place to sit and enjoy listening to the birds in the morning while eating breakfast. The kids had a fantastic time on the swing set and the yard is big enough for a bounce house for the smaller kids and also for croquet or other yard games for the older kids at the same time. Oh, and the entire family enjoyed both the basket ball tournament (I think the 8 year old beat us all) and the pool tournament (which grandma won) every evening. Lot of laughter had by all of us. Can’t wait to return next year!!!!

Perfection

Our delayed Christmas gift to our kids and their families was a joy. This was our first trip to South Haven and surely not the last. The house was clean and had so many amenities it felt like home. Being so close to trails was ideal but still far enough away that we had complete privacy. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Hidden Hide-away

This property is perfect for your next vacation near Lake Michigan. It's conveniently located so that you can enjoy downtown South Haven (10 min drive) or just a 30 minute drive from Silver Beach in St. Joe. The house itself has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, as well as games, basketball pop-a-shot, pool table and a great outdoor area for enjoying a bon-fire. Highly recommend this place whether you're traveling with family or friends!

60th birthday celebration

Beautiful house that was stocked extremely well. Kids loved the swing set and the adults enjoyed the deck and hot tub. Beds were extremely comfortable with fabulous sheets. All rooms had a TV except the master which didn't bother me but my husband would have liked one. Hope to come again.

Great Experience!

The home was nicely decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. The owner was very helpful and it was evident that she really wanted us to have a great experience. We enjoyed the large deck, games in the basement, comfortable beds, hiking trails and proximity to South Haven. We would definitely stay here again!

Extremely clean with lots of light and great amenities. Although there were only 4 of us, there is plenty of space for larger groups. Conveniently located between Van Buren State Park and the town of South Haven.

March getaway

What a wonderful house in a great location. 2 hours from Chicago so the drive was pleasant. Located adjacent to the Van Buren Sate Park so we could hike every day with great views of Lake Michigan. The house was immaculate and fully equipped with a pool table, fire pit and hot tub for entertainment. Would love to see this place in the Fall

Such a Great Stay!

We had such a wonderful time at the house! The layout was perfect for our family, and the house came equipped with so many essentials — it was so convenient. The property manager was great to work with — very quick responses and provided great recommendations for our families needs. We loved the specious layout on the main floor and basement. The backyard was one of our favorite places to hang out — great for bonfires, making s’mores, barbecuing, playing on the swing set, and we had so much privacy. It was hard for us to leave, because we had such a good time — hope to come back one day!!

clean, comfortable, private, awesome!

Our group of 8 adults had the best time at this rental home! The house was clean. The kitchen was fully stocked. The bedrooms were roomy and had comfortable beds. The basement was awesome with a table for us to play games and a pool table that you could convert to a ping pong table. The yard was private, spacious, had a deck where we hung out all evening, and had a hot tub. We walked from the backyard down a path to the top of a dune to view Lake Michigan. The host was very easy to communicate with and so accommodating with every single request. I would highly recommend this rental and I hope to rent again someday!

Hidden Getaway

The house was very nice as well as the deck and back yard. Everything was clean and well maintained. There were 11 of us all family (8 adults and 3 children) and plenty of room. We had a great time and it was home away from home. The house had everything we needed and more. It backs up to the woods and is at a dead end. You can walk a short trail in the woods that starts at the end of the property and ends at the dunes and lake.. It was a little less than a 10 minute drive to town and the public beach and there was a general store less than a mile away. Our grandchildren especially loved it and were sad we had to leave. I have already recommended it to friends and family for their next family vacation.
