Beautiful new house nestled in a private and fenced 30 acres nature sanctuary.
This brand new house of 2800 plus SF is nestled inside a totally private and fenced estate of 30 acres of beautiful Michigan natural forest, land and prairie, with winding trails and a large variety of trees, shrubs and plants, even cactuses, that will rejuvenate your inner bond with Mother Nature. If you are tired of the crowds, this is truly a sanctuary of peace and privacy that will help you rest and recharge your inner self. The house is both elegant and welcoming with high ceilings and an open floor plan for greater comfort. There are 4 bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, all elegantly designed and well equipped. There is a large TV room and even a private office space. The great room has a beautiful wood burning fireplace, and offers relaxed family gathering in comfort and elegance.
The house offers multiple openings on its more than 2100SF of covered porch to let you enjoy the natural beauty of its surroundings and breathe that famous Pure Michigan Air, this invisible treasure your lungs will love. This total privacy is a mere 10 minutes from downtown South haven, its restaurants and cafes, and beautiful Lake Michigan beaches.

This is an amazing house! The landscaping, trails and porch are incredible. We felt so relaxed here. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and the home is very spacious! The check in and check out process was very simple. We would definitely stay here again!!
The home was so beautiful and spacious with great appliances & decor. We had 7adults and one child and we had room for more - we felt very pampered at this property. The back porch was wonderful and we were able to sit on the porch and visit with family, use hot tub, and cooked on the grill! Plus we went on the hiking trails behind the home. Best place I have stayed at in South Haven! Hands down

Thank you so much for this stellar review, I am really happy you enjoyed my place. Thank you also for leaving the place so clean, you and your family were really a stellar guest.
Host is above and beyond accomodating. This house has everything you will need and can think of. Beautiful and modern and close enough of a drive to lake. Nicest property I have ever stayed in on VRBO. Thanks again.
This property is exactly as described and pictured, if not more beautiful. Christian has thought of everything you will need and provides it! He graciously allowed me to check in a bit early and his communication was phenonmenal. For those looking to stay somewhere in proximity to Black Sheep Shelter, this property is literally 3 minutes away. Can't recommend enough!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, I am very happy that you and your party enjoyed your stay at "La Joie de Vivre".
This property is beautiful, well appointed and clean. Everything needed was easily available with lots of comfortable seating. Very well stocked kitchen with plenty of space to prep and cook. The owner was extremely accommodating and easy to contact. There are walking trails through the well preserved land. It is a gem and I would recommend it to all!
We stayed here with our 3 children and some friends that have a 2-year-old. This home was perfect for two families. It was beautiful, spacious and had anything we could possibly need and much more. Chris was a very gracious host, communicated quickly, and even volunteered a later checkout when he saw no one was checking in right after us. It’s a quick 10 minute drive into South Haven. The property itself was so much fun to explore and the kids loved having so much land to roam. You wouldn’t have to leave this place to have a great time. We’re looking forward to coming back!
As promised, we came back. My wife, Stephanie B, left a review when we were here last year. We were just as pleased as last time. The property truly is stunning inside and out. We always find ourselves able to take a true break from the hustle and bustle here. We pop into South Haven a few days here and there and spend the rest of the time taking in the peaceful surroundings. Christian was a great host again - easy to contact and very responsive. Everything is always spotless! We love so many areas of the home - the kitchen, the cozy movie area, the hot tub, the endless areas to sit outside and just exist… We highly recommend coming here to unwind.

Johnathan and his family are the ideal guests, friendly, clean, respectful and always positive. As a host, you won't find any better!
This property meets all of our needs for a vacation home. We love the secluded privacy of the property, and appreciate how close to South Haven it is. Christian, the owner, has done a wonderful job on this property. The layout of the house makes it feel as though there is more space than there is. We never felt crowded. The back patio area that spans the entire length of the home, is accessible from nearly every room in the house. The patio is one of our favorite features of the home. Plenty of areas to gather or just lounge around in between all the activities that the South Haven area offers.We have happily stayed here twice. This is a newly built home that was built with modern luxuries and the looks of a dream home that most of us could only fantasize about living in one day. So when you stay here, it really feels like you are on a well deserved vacation.Thank you Christian!
