We stayed in South Haven for a couple of night off season in late March. Beautiful little town. Must be something in the summer when the marinas are full. The place was really nice for my dad my son and I. There was lots of room around the house so we kinda felt like we were in the country but we were just a few minutes from the main part of town. Everything in the house was very clean and we could tell the host thought of every little thing to make every guest comfortable. The check in and out couldn’t have been easier. We would definitely stay here again!
Great place. Clean, organized, well stocked, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Zero complaints or suggestions. Would definitely recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Anna
We’re a family who loves spending time in South Haven and the surrounding Lake Michigan shoreline. We chose this home as a place where we could slow down, enjoy nature, and still be close to the beach, town, and outdoor activities. As hosts, our goal is to create a comfortable, well-equipped space that feels easy and welcoming from the moment you arrive. We’ve set the house up the way we’d want it for our own family—clean, thoughtfully stocked, and ready for both relaxing weekends and longer stays. We’re happy to share local recommendations and want guests to feel at home while enjoying everything South Haven has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, wooded setting that feels peaceful and private, while still being walkable to downtown South Haven and close to the beach. You can stroll into town for coffee, shopping, or ice cream, walk to South Beach on a nice day, or head out for biking, hiking, or a day at the lake—all without feeling like you’re in the middle of the crowds. The area is calm and residential, making it easy to relax at the house, enjoy the deck or fire pit, and unwind after a full day exploring the area.
What makes this property unique
Lakewood Cottage stands out for its combination of location, comfort, and flexibility. The home is well suited for families and groups, with multiple sleeping options, a fully stocked kitchen, fast and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, and plenty of space to gather. Each bedroom has its own heating and cooling for personalized comfort, and the outdoor space offers a quiet, tree-lined setting that’s hard to find so close to town. Whether you’re here for beach days, biking the Kal-Haven Trail, golfing, or a relaxing off-season stay, the house is designed to feel livable, comfortable, and easy—so you can focus on enjoying your time in South Haven.
The property recently changed ownership, but the new hosts are excited to continue the 5-star history of this South Haven gem.
