Lake view

Rustic lake house not far from South Haven had everything we needed and we enjoyed the lake view with eagles and swans we fished swam and used the paddle boat. North beach was the best and Marias was the best restaurant and the Saugatuck dunes rides are a must great family Vacay

Relaxing Getaway

Great place to stay right on the waterfront! The views were amazing, weather was perfect and the water was so calm. The history of the ice house is pretty interesting. The only other thing I would comment on is the fact that the two rooms are semi-private. So I would say be sure you are staying with family or close friends that you don't mind having a bit of openness to the rooms. We really enjoyed our stay!

Fun at the lake

Overall had fun at the lake and good fishing. Close to nice beaches. Place is a little more dated and a little dustier than expected. Clean enough to not be a major concern, but just know what to expect.

Nice quick getaway (:

The lake and area was peaceful and quiet, good fishing and the use of the paddleboat is a plus (: The icehouse is very quaint and cute. I loved the kitchen island! Very close to Lake Michigan, Saugatuck and South Haven. The Saugatuck Sand dune ride was fun! The Michigan Maritime Marina is a must! Both very cute little towns to visit with good food. Only 2 downfalls, the beds are a little creaky but not terribly uncomfortable and the Wifi is quirky. Will definitely stay again!

Quiet lake cottage

Nice and quiet lake cottage with a pleasant westerly view over the lake. Peaceful and picteresque sunsets in July for us! Little to no curtains with lots of big windows. Good on natural light but not good for feeling you have privacy. Anyone who has concerns when it gets dark and people can see you inside, but you can't see them outside may be uncomfortable. Two small loft window units provide the A/C; there isn't central air. We ran and emptied the humidifier often along with the having the ceiling fans high and were generally good with temps near 80. Note that the road is unpaved but it's a short uneventful drive. Lots of wood interior = fair amount of dust if you have allergies/sensitive breathing. Shower jets look to have potential mold/mildew in them. There is also a bathroom window looking at the neighbor's house with half the window having no way to cover it. I.e. if you are in the driveway and look toward the house, you could see a person standing in the shower. There is no cable TV and internet is spotty. We were gone most of the day, but even getting reliable local channels on antenna would have been a nice way to wind down the night. Good location with nice drives to many places-wineries, orchards, St. Joseph, Holland, Saugatuck, South Haven, and more. Overall quiet place, but older historic place without some modern conveniences. Owners very responsive!

Pullman lakehouse

Had a great time. Very peaceful & relaxing atmosphere. There wasnt much traffic on the lake either & we caught quite a few bass. Only negative was the oar locks were broke so we couldnt use the row boat. We tried all the oars available also. So we had to fish from paddle boats. Kitchen was nice & had a few pans,utensils & more. The wifi was hit & miss but we werent on our phones much so i cant really give an oponion on that. We do plan to stay again sometime.

A Wonderful Escape

We really enjoyed our stay at The Icehouse. Everything was just as it was described. We used the kayaks and were enthralled by the swan family. This was a perfect place to enjoy the area including South Haven and Saugatuck.

Fun, Funky, unForgettable stay!

We loved spending time together at your unique and cozy cabin. The location was perfect for us attending a wedding together in Pullman. We loved getting to see the leaves change over the lake, take in some quality relaxation time in between festivities, and be surprised by the flat friend on the wall! ;) Two minutes up the street is a Mexican grocery/counter service restaurant which was DELICIOSO - we were excited to try Pizza Time, but were served lots of pizza at the rehearsal dinner -- next time! Thanks y'all!
