About this property

Beautiful log cabin with all the creature comforts of home. Private fishing lake

Escape to a peaceful log cabin in the woods located in beautiful Southwest Michigan. The cabin is part of a Centennial fruit farm with plenty of land to explore and a private 45 acre fishing lake. Spend the day relaxing in the cabin, baking, reading, sitting by a camp fire, reconnecting with loved ones, fishing, enjoying nature, and relishing the abundant peace that is present here.
It's in the heart of wine/beer country with easy access to many golf courses, Lake Michigan, nature trails, restaurants, and so much more. Come to this area any time of the year to take in the scenery and enjoy the local activities - golf, skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing/skating, farm markets, festivals, fall color touring, beach days, hiking, canoeing, and shopping to name a few.

The cedar log cabin was built for our Grandpa in 1983. The living area is open and inviting with a fireplace built using field stones collected on the family farm. It features a newly renovated kitchen with all of the utensils you might need to create meals during your stay. The cabin has central air/heat. Enjoy sitting on the covered front porch that looks out over the wooded yard which includes a swing set/play fort for kids. The back deck includes a gas grill (small charcoal grill is also available), table and chairs. Surrounded by a split rail fence, the back yard looks out over a wild flower field where deer are sighted almost daily. Spend the evenings by an outdoor fire (pit and wood provided) and enjoy roasting marshmallows and gazing at the stars.
Grandpa’s cabin has been the setting that holds so many wonderful memories for our family. We hope you’ll experience your own special times here as well.

What a beautiful cabin in a quiet, private setting! Our family of 6 really enjoyed our time at Grandpa’s Cabin - close enough to beaches, dining & entertainment to make for a fun time & secluded enough to have a place to unplug & unwind without worrying about the neighbors. Our kids 16 really enjoyed the private lake as well! Clean, nicely appointed- would definitely recommend.

We had the perfect fall weekend at this sweet log cabin. Our family of 7 (5 kids ages 14-4) fished, walked around the property, picked some apples from the orchard, played on the swingset in the front yard and threw some balls and roasted marshmallows in the backyard. The kitchen was well stocked with the utensils we needed to make meals and the house was clean. All the views from the property were beautiful, and we would love to return one day. We definitely will recommend this to friends and family.

Great weekend get away

Our family of five with two young kids enjoyed our stay. Great get away, well stocked, and beautiful property. Loved the playground and walking down to the lake. Cabin is beautiful. Great location to get to Lake Michigan. Only recommendation would be to get a motion detected flood light outside; the one that shone was a little bright for those staying in the loft. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Beautiful nature preserve and cabin

We needed relaxation and restoration and that is exactly what this lovely cabin delivered. Well appointed kitchen so we were able to eat dinners in but not too far from south haven where we were able to enjoy the art fair and beach. Lovely to wake up each morning to a symphony of birds and visits by deer.

Grandpa's Cabin

This was the absolute best place we've ever stayed. The price was cheaper than renting 2 hotel rooms for 3 nights. The cabin was rustic and so beautiful, we had our daughter and grandkids with us and they had a blast. It was located close to our relatives, on a lake with apple trees. We had the best time, can't wait to go back. grandkids with us and they had a blas

Vacation with Grandson

This was the perfect place for us and our 10 yr old grandson. He had his own private loft and could be on his own. Beautiful property with fishing lake that we spent many hours on. The row boat was great as we could move around on the lake to try different spots to catch fish. Kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials plus the little things we didn’t think about. We enjoyed so much it will be on our list to come back.

Wonderful stay

The cabin is gorgeous! It is surrounded by woods and a field of wildflowers in the back. We were lucky enough to see all types of wildlife, including deer wander a few feet from the cabin. We wanted a quiet place to stay. This was perfect. Thank you.

Perfect Fall Weekend

This property is truly beautiful! The cabin is well built and stocked and very clean. The setting is idyllic, from the yard around the cabin, to the native grass and wildflower field behind, to the orchards and the lake—you can sense the love the owners have for the land. Fishing was excellent, and we saw abundant wildlife. Communication was prompt and friendly. One of the best stays I’ve booked. We plan to make it an annual event here!

Absolutely loved the location! The dampness and old smell of the cabin was a bit much but this is something that’s hard to address. The beds were comfortable and the property was wonderful. Our kids ran around picking apples, looking at fish in the lake and just exploring. We did a bonfire and ate smores. It was a great place to connect.

Peaceful getaway

We came to enjoy some quiet time and to relax. Grandpa's Cabin was the perfect place for relaxing. The location and scenery was beautiful. The Cabin is within about 30 minutes to different places to visit. We went to South Haven and Saugatuck. Lake Michigan is always amazing. But just staying at the Cabin is wonderful. It was very hot outside but the air conditioning worked great.

Lovely cabin in the woods

We had a great experience with Grandpa’s Cabin. It was clean and inviting. The cabin had everything we needed to have the comforts of home, away from home. The lake was beautiful and there are row boats you can use. We forgot our fishing poles so I messaged the owner and asked if there were by chance any at the house before purchasing a few for the trip and she ran some over for us to use. Only about 20 minutes from South Haven. Would recommend.

Remote and quiet

This property was super gorgeous outside with a giant field of wildflowers between the cabin and the lake. It was very clean for an old log cabin. I hate spiders and I was a little nervous about the doors not shutting that great when people were coming in and out. I only saw one spider the whole time and it was outside. Overall, the beds were comfy, the appliances were new and modern, and the AC was cold. The lake on the property no doubt had some bass, but I didn't fish while I was there ! I highly recommend if you are looking to just be away.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Pearson

Host profile image
I, Sue, grew up on this family fruit farm as the oldest of 6 kids. It was a great place to be raised. When Grandpa died in 2004 he passed the cabin on to us. Up until 2022, we had long term renters. However, our family didn’t get to utilize and enjoy the cabin in that circumstance. Now my siblings and their families are able to stay there when they visit.
The part of being a host that I most enjoy is reading the guest notebook and appreciating the special memories that people had during their stay. Grandpa would be so happy.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is located on the farm where I was raised.

What makes this property unique

The family farm is over 150 years old in that the same bloodline has worked the land during that time. American Indians lived on the land prior as evidenced by many Arrow heads found on the land over the years.
