Great house and view

We had a great stay. We planned a last minute trip and Jim was super helpful and responded quickly to all our questions. The house is great, clean, and the location is quiet. We loved the beach access and view from the house and the yard. We wouldn't hesitate to come again with just our family or a larger group!

Great Getaway!

We had 3 couples for a long weekend getaway and chose this house because every bedroom has a lake view and its own bath. Also the main space is open for gathering PLUS there’s beach access for long walks along the water! The house was just as shown and even better. It’s lovely and light inside. Kitchen was great for food prep and shared meals at the big table. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch looking out at the lake and sunset cocktails down on the beach. Grilled out in the back yard which is also well-appointed—tables with umbrellas, outdoor shower, swing located perfectly to watch the lake/sunset. The 180 step staircase to the beach is a workout, so be advised (and make sure you have what you want as “running back to the house to get something” is a real climb! But the beach area is private and so much fun to walk. Easy swimming/wading/beach rock collecting too, and they keep chairs for you stored conveniently close to the bottom of the staircase. No beach towels/cooler in the house, so bring your own. (NOTE TO JIM: that might be something to add to this already well-stocked place.) The house is close to both Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven for restaurants and shopping/exploring. We went to nearby state park for a hike too (dunes trails and beach access). This place will be gorgeous ALL year around. The host was so easy to work with and really responsive when I had a few questions about check-in. Highly recommend.

Marvelous!

Let me just preface this by saying that during the last 10 years we have stayed at over 40 vacation homes throughout the midwest. This one stands out and I am grateful to the owner for letting us enjoy this lakefront property and create memorable family experiences. We had an extended weekend stay with kids 9-13 and greatly enjoyed all amenities the house had to offer and the private beach. What stood out to me the most, was the striking architectural elegance of the home. Inside and out, everything in its proper place, harmonious symmetry and masterful design execution down to the smallest detail. Other highlights for us are the outdoor spaces and private beach. We would spend long hours at the beach and nights around the firepit on the patio enjoying ourselves and the vistas. I loved the beach. In the early hours, waters were calm and kids would swim, play games, and go pebble hunting. At the time, water was waste deep 50 yards into the lake which was awesome. Mornings I would run up and down the stairs that lead to the beach for an awesome workout. That said, if you have any kind of mobility issues, you will not be able to enjoy the beach as the vertical drop to it is significant. The athletic types would love it. I would highly recommend this vacation home and we will hopefully be back someday soon.

Perfect Family Retreat

At 568 Mozart is a beautiful stately well furnished house with a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan and an amazing 179 step staircase to a very private beach. Would go back in a heart beat.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Skarin

My wife of 42 years and I enjoy working together. We poured our hearts into building this home. Our five children and seventeen grandchildren have all added insight into making this vacation home extra special. We all enjoy extending hospitality to others and know that you will build many happy memories at our Pleasant View Cottage.

Why they chose this property

Our family selected this property because of the quaint setting and beautiful beach. The mid-century beach neighborhood is comprised of single family homes and is in a very quiet wooded setting. We prized the serene location that was just minutes from the amenities of South Haven's bustling downtown.

What makes this property unique

Besides the beach and stunning sunsets over Lake Michigan, this home exudes charm from the moment you drive up to it. The private back yard with its two decks and bluestone patio invites you to sit and relax with a glass of iced tea while reading a book or chatting with friends and family. The arbor swing offers spectacular views of Lake Michigan, and the quiet setting provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway with family and friends.
