Our South Haven vacation rental boasts a clean, simple style that will remind you of HGTV, while still preserving the cottage's cozy 152 year old charm! Unwind on the front porch rockers or in front of the living room fireplace. The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with quartz countertops, two full bathrooms with double quartz vanities and custom tiled showers.

The cottage layout includes a downstairs queen bedroom, an upstairs queen bedroom, an upstairs loft twin bunk bed room (located between the two upstairs bedrooms), and an upstairs full bedroom. We've thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable, from kids' toys and books to beach chairs, a cooler bag, and games.

Our location is unbeatable—just two blocks from the beach at the blue stairs, where you can witness stunning Lake Michigan sunsets. We're also a stone's throw from the amazing Kids Corner playground, a short walk to the splash pad, and five to six blocks from downtown. Additionally, we're steps away from the paved Van Buren State Park Trail and a short ride to the Kal-Haven 33.5-mile trail for biking, running, or walking. For unforgettable experiences, consider booking a fishing charter or a sailboat cruise (ask us for a referrals).

Our cottage is open year-round, offering the perfect winter retreat. You can walk, cross-country ski, or snowmobile along the Kal-Haven trail. Downtown offers ice skating in a festive atmosphere, or you can go downhill skiing at Timber Ridge or Bittersweet (35-45 miles away). After exploring, indulge in shopping and dining downtown while taking in the majestic lighthouse in all its winter glory. Then return to the cottage to relax in front of a warm, cozy fire.

The cottage sits on a double lot, featuring a custom brick paver firepit and a grassy area adjacent to a spacious brick patio/driveway. This area is perfect for bonding with family and friends around the fire or enjoying a game of cornhole (boards provided).

    Beautiful, charming home! Great location- quick walk to beach and church, and easy walk to Main Street. The outdoor fireplace was a bonus, as we love being outside. Great hostess, with lots of extra touches.

    Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Ashwood Cottage. The cottage is very clean and comfortable with many updates. We enjoyed the location with short walks to a beautiful beach, park and town. The neighborhood was especially fun with all the families around us also having a happy summer vacation.

    We just spent a week in this immaculate house. It is a great location to the beach, the park and the downtown area. It was only a two block walk to see the beautiful sunsets. There is a nice firepit! Carrie was so easy to work with and gave us suggestions on places to eat and things to do. I would highly recommend this house!!

    What an absolute Gem! A beautifully renovated 100+ year old house with all the comforts of home..fully appointed kitchen, comfy beds, washer/dryer discretely placed on main floor, among other things. Keyless entry so no worry about losing keys. Decor is light and airy. Multiple windows allow the light to fill the home yet easy operating shades allow for full privacy at night. Location is perfectly situated..close to the cute downtown area and just a few min walk to the beach to see the stunning Sunsets..Nice outdoor area with Grill and Firepit (along with a Welcome S'more Kit) Carrie is everything you would want in a host..Friendly and Responsive to any questions. My only regret? That we could spend more time there❤️

    We really enjoyed staying at Carrie’s cozy cottage! So clean and updated. Just a couple blocks from the beach at Lake Michigan. Had a fun night playing Heads Up at the gorgeous firepit. She has everything you need there. Any questions we had Carrie responded either immediately or within a couple minutes. We will definitely stay here again when we travel over to South Haven

    This house is in a great location close to the beach, parks and also not far from the main shops in town. We walked pretty much everywhere with our 2 year old. The neighborhood was also very quiet for anyone looking to just get away from the hustle and bustle. Carrie was very responsive and helpful with anything needed, would stay again.

    Perfect for an easy family beach getaway. Beach chairs, umbrella and toys were provided. Home was exceptionally clean. Note that if you bring a wagon for the beach, you’ll likely need to drive as there is a full staircase at the beach entrance closest to the home (about 2 blocks).

    This home was in a great location. Easy walk to the beach and downtown. The house had plenty of space for our family of four. The bathrooms were beautiful. We also loved sitting by the fire pit in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again.

    This was our first visit to South Haven and to say that we fell in love with this town is an understatement! We have 4 boys and our goal with this trip was a slow and easy beach vacation where everything was within walking distance. We parked our car in the driveway of this beautiful home on our arrival day and never got in the car until the day we left! Only a short walk to the beach, playground, splash pad, and even into town for restaurants, donuts and ice cream! Carrie was such a gracious and kind host and her home is so lovely! Adorably decorated, well stocked and so immaculate—it truly felt like a home away from home. My only regret is that we didn’t plan a longer stay! Carrie, thank you again for a lovely stay—we will absolutely be back!

    Biggest plus for me is location! Literally 3 minute walk to the park bench overlooking the lake. Close to blue stairs, Kids Corner, and town. Also appreciated quiet mornings on the porch, plenty of fire pit seating, large bathrooms, and quality of furnishings (including baby items!) Sometimes I’m uncomfortable in someone else’s home, but not here! Clean, comfortable, and oh so cute! Felt like I stepped into someone’s Pinterest.

    We loved our stay in this cute little house. The location was great, we were able to walk to kids corner, the beach, and the town daily. The outdoor firepit was so nice to have. Walking to the end of the street and watching the sunset over the water can't be beat. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The host, Carrie, was amazing and so easy to communicate with. She was very responsive. I was thankful for previous reviews stating the house is in fact not a 4 bedroom but a 3, with the bunkbeds actually being in a loft space at the top of the stairs. It wasnt a dealbreaker for us but traveling with little kids it was good to know ahead of time. We loved this house and would absolutely stay here again!
