About this property
Relaxed 1 BR Near Lake with Fast WiFi, Fire Pit +
This is an affordable Michigan cottage that sleeps up to 2 people. It has window A/C unit, gas furnace, keyless & contactless entry, complete kitchen, outdoor space, and comes professionally cleaned and sanitized with fresh linens, towels, coffee station with grounds, and basic soaps.
We have updated many parts of the cottage (see pictures) and continue to do so, however the cottage will show its age and character at times. If you are looking for a white-glove experience, this may not be the best option for you. However, if you are looking for a clean , comfortable, & affordable space, very close to beaches and well-positioned between Saint Joseph & South Haven (in a quiet area of Hagar Shores), with all of the amenities of a home, this is a great option for your stay!
This smaller yet welcoming and restful one bedroom cottage sleeps up to 2 guests comfortably on a brand new queen bed with luxury mattress. The space is fully furnished with a fully stocked kitchen, gas stove, refrigerator, microwave and yes, coffee pot. Make yourself at home!
This cottage includes 3 rooms: one complete bedroom with Roku TV and closet, a full kitchen with small dining area, and a full bathroom. All linens, down-pillows, and kitchen ware is provided to you; including fresh coffee grounds.
The cottage is unit "B" in a 3-cottage building. There is a private exterior door with keypad entry. The cottage is located in between "A" and "C".
Located 15 minutes from South Haven, St. Joseph, and within .8 of a mile from public beach access. Come and go as you please. Key code access on the door and Wifi access.
This property is situated on a nice 3/4 acre and there is plenty of open space outside for activities and a couple nice big shade trees.
Other things to note:
Daily laundry service and house keeping is not provided. Each guest will be provided with 1 towel, 1 hand towel and 1 one wash cloth for the duration of their stay. Please provide your own towels for the beach. Hand soap and dish soap is provided but not shampoo or conditioner.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew
We have been traveling to Southwest Michigan for summer vacations and winter getaways for years to enjoy everything this area has to offer. The sandy beaches, small town charm, plethora of wineries, relaxed lake setting, and beautiful sunsets are only a small sample of what drew us here. Finally, a couple of years ago, we were able to move permanently to the area and call Southwest Michigan home. We are now excited for you to share memorable experiences in this little slice of heaven!
Why they chose this property
This property reminds us of the cozy cottages that we used to stay in when travelling to this area. Built decades ago and newly renovated, this cottage offers all of the amenities you need while reserving the relaxed, quaint setting that you yearn for when visiting the lake.
Known for its sandy beaches and dense woods, Hagar Shores is conveniently located right north of Saint Joseph and just south of South Haven. There is a pizza & burger place right across the street that is walkable. There is also a Dollar General about a 1/2 mile up the road for any last minute needs.
The cottage sits right off of two lane highway M-63. M-63/Blue Star Highway offers the scenic route connecting St. Joseph and South Haven. Along this route you will have convenient access to free public beaches , state parks and bike trails. While our area is generally a quiet location, the convenient Blue Star Highway may have peak times of road noise.

What makes this property unique
The fast WiFi allows you to work while onsite, or stream movies on the Roku stick included on the TV. There are many outdoor offerings at the cottage, including a fire pit, hammocks, picnic area, and corn hole boards. We encourage you to relax, settle in, and make yourself at home ... and most importantly, remember that you will now be on Lake Time!
