Work Trip

We stayed here as an alternative to a traditional hotel for a work trip and it was great! Communication from hosts was immediate and clear, the house was excellent, and we would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing & Quiet

The description of the house is perfect. The house met our needs. The Lake was nice and the location was close enough to South Haven and Saugatuck for a Lake Michigan Experience. Also, the Swan Lake Store Does Indeed have Literally Everything, have to see it to believe it. Highly recommend this house. I have been using VRBO for about 9-10 years. First time I have ever talked on the phone to my host. Grant was very nice and informative.

Our time at this cottage was great! It was very clean, neat and well-stocked with everything we needed. We could tell that the owners put a lot of thought into everything they did to make it an easy, no-worries stay for their guests. The property was awesome as well...fishing and kayaking on a very quiet lake, nice firepit with a supply of dry/covered wood, plenty of outdoor seating by the beach, etc. The pictures online nicely represent the cottage and property, but seeing it in-person was really a great treat. Thanks so much to our hosts for having all of the bases covered and being available and responsive when we reached out to them. They did a great job with everything! We would highly recommend this property to anyone who may be looking for places to stay not too far from the nice little towns along Lake Michigan...South Haven, Saugatuck, Holland, etc. We really enjoyed ourselves!
