Fennville, Michigan
“Autumn, in his leafless bowers, is waiting for the winter's snow...”
(John Greenleaf Whittier)
We have had a beautiful Summer and Autumn, and are settling in for the cozy serenity of winter.
Get away from the hustle-and-bustle of the city, and breath the fresh, crispy air! Relax in front of the fireplace at our cozy & charming cottage on beautiful Lake Michigan, conveniently located just a 45 minute drive from the Grand Rapids Int'l Airport and 2 1/2 hours from Chicago.
Just a short walk to the shoreline, through a top-rated park, you can enjoy your morning coffee, listening to the lapping of calm Lake Michigan, or watch the gorgeous sunset in the evening.
Or, enjoy drinking a glass of wine (or whatever is your preference) on the deck, in the privacy of your own miniature park, back at the cottage, surrounded by the peaceful rustling of the giant red, orange and yellow leaves.
Or visit with your friends, late into the night, watching the stars, around the firepit, roasting marshmallows...
Our lovely 2 bdrm 1 bathroom cottage sleeps up to 6 people, includes a fully equipped kitchen, a barbeque, washer and dryer, and free wifi, for your convenience.
If you decide to venture out, you will love the wineries, chocolaterias, steamboat tours, restaurants, pubs, art galleries, museums, parks, festivals in the nearby towns of Douglas, Saugatuck and South Haven, or go hiking up Mt. Baldy! (We include more information in our welcome package, and would be happy to answer any other questions, if we can!)
For all you beer lovers, West Michigan features many award winning micro-breweries, all within a short distance.
Please come visit, and make Lakeshore Haven your Home away from Home!...
My family and I were amazed. The kids had a blast and my husband and I relaxed. This beautiful cottage has it all and it’s so clean. Like ridiculously clean. I’ve been ruined for hotels for life. The kitchen was so well stocked. The house had toys for the kids and dogs. (Just a note: if you have dogs, be sure to treat them for fleas/ticks before you leave. This lovely cottage is in the woods. There are ticks/fleas. Treat your pets before you go!) We had friends and family visit and they all commented on how beautiful the cottage was and how homey and clean it was. The owners are amazing. I don’t think I ever waited more than an hour for a reply from Rachel. We also decided to extend our stay and she was very accommodating. Check-in was super simple and..... honestly, I could go on for days. This little cottage is amazing. I miss the view. I miss the smell of the outdoors. I miss the quiet. My family and I had an amazing time. I can’t wait to find a time to visit again.
Was here for my second visit in a year. Cottage has everything for everybody, including dog bowls! What a lovely vibe this has opening the bedroom window at night and hearing the waves! LOVE the area; Fennville, Douglas and Saugutuck all adorable towns have everything you need or want to do. Master bed was wonderful and the place was impeccably clean on arrival. Loved the beach access next door @ park!!!!!! Wish I could of found a vacuum before I left so I could have cleaned up a bit ?! Thank you Shannon for being a wonderful host!
This was our second timing staying at Lakeshore Haven and it did not disappoint! We love the privacy (and that it’s dog friendly) yet still close to both Saugatuck and South Haven. The weather was lovely so we visited Oval Beach and a nearby nature preserve and enjoyed a fire in the evening.
Lovely cottage, felt like a real Michigan lake cottage. Very nicely appointed. They even left pasta and wine if we got in late and needed dinner. Great location right next to county park. Minutes from Saugatuck/Douglas area. Lots to do. We brought our dog. We so appreciate the opportunity to travel with her. Note if you travel with dog the county park does not allow dogs but the host pointed us to another beach very close that does.
Just loved the house for us and our dog. Having the park next door was very handy!
This was a wonderful place for a long weekend vacation. The property was beautiful and a short drive to great restaurants, coffee, wineries, and hiking. The cottage was comfortable and cozy to stay in and was exactly what we needed!
The property and it's location are great. The only issue was with the hot water smelling strongly like rotten eggs. We couldn't use it at all which made showering very hard. Otherwise, we had a great time.
Stayed in this adorable cottage with my dogs in April. Loved that it was off season! Cottage is immaculate with very comfy furniture and beds. 10min walk to gorgeous beach. Kitchen is fully loaded if you cook. The Farmhouse Deli in Douglas IS AMAZING!! Take out or eat in. The Saugatuck Township Tails & Trails Dog Park is VERY nice, huge, free & friendly. Restaurants nearby. I will book again for sure. Shannon the host is the best, if you need anything.
Beautiful cabin by the lake, the cabin was very clean and as advertised. It is great for a family with kids and is located right next to a park with a play area and beach access. The cabin was very comfortable and brings you back to the 80s and 90s with a huge collection of books, puzzles, board games, video cassettes and DVDs along with all the modern touches you need. Highly recommend!
Wonderful, very peaceful and just a short walk thru park to peaceful lake Michigan Beach also the park would be great for kids the owner was great as always this was our 2nd stay we enjoyed both stays.
This is absolutely great place to stay for a family with kids and pets. Ideal location: 5 min walking to a beach, playground, and nature trails; 10-20 minutes driving to Holland, South Haven, Saugatuck and many farms and winery. The house is clean and well maintained and has everything for cooking and entertainment. My only comment would be about stairs to the second floor and basement that can be difficult for older adults. We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this property. Rachel, thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful beach house! We had a great time and and hope to come again. Sergey
Very quiet convenient location. We really enjoyed our stay.
Always great hosts! We have stayed several times, and each time is always amazing!! We often call it our second home !
We are a family of 6 (ages 7, 6, 2, 1) and it was the perfect spot to visit the South Haven/Saugatuck areas. The 2nd floor was perfect for the boys with the twin beds and the home had everything we needed. The kids loved looking through the DVDs and playing in the yard. We mostly cooked at home and used the grill out and fire pit at night. We loved eating and playing on the big deck. We loved how many towels and hooks there were, and the use of a washer/dryer came in handy! The home was also conveniently located next to a park and had beach access. Overall, it was the perfect stay for our family. Thanks so much!
Great clean house and so close to the beach. Very cozy and nicely decorated. Everything you need a great affordable vacation.
We love visiting Michigan for blueberries, cherries, and the lake and this was the perfect home base. This place is great for kids, with lots of toys and the nearby park and beach. The kitchen is well stocked, including thoughtful gifts from the hosts. Highly recommend.
We stayed for a long weekend with our 4 young kids (3-11). It was great, they stayed upstairs in the adorable bedroom and in the basement with the toys and absolutely loved it. My wife and I enjoyed it too :-). Some confusion at checkin as the time was miscommunicated through VRBO (it’s 4 pm). The stairs are extremely steep going up and down, but it didn’t deter the kids! It was nice to walk to the beach each day. The public beach does not get crowded even on a nice Saturday (parking limits this) and the size is much wider than other area beaches that have experienced erosion.
My wife, son (4), and daughter (1) just stayed for a few days and it was our first time using the VRBO app. The check-in process was simple, the property was secluded but still within 10-15 minutes of anything you’d need, and the property was in great condition.
It was clean, comfortable and well kept. Great location, nice deck and front porch. We’ll supplied with dishes, utensils, etc to make food prep easy and convenient.
Quiet cottage near the lake, with modern appliances, and plenty of places to relax and read a great book. Easy car ride from farm stands, orchards and wineries.
