South Haven, Michigan
With Lake Michigan in your backyard, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom home will stun you with its endless Lake Michigan private views! Enjoy beautiful sunsets from the huge backyard perched on a scenic bluff with one hundred feet of Lake Michigan frontage. Inside this newly renovated home of over 3100 square feet, you will enjoy plenty of room for everyone! Home includes four queen bedrooms, two bunkbeds that sleep three persons each, two toddler beds, a pack-n-play. Amenities include Starlink high speed wifi, outdoor furnished patios, expansive sunroom, remote-controlled awnings, outdoor shower, rec room with pool table and ping pong, generator, central air, two washers and dryers, charcoal grill, fire pit, & a fully-equipped kitchen.
Enjoy the calming sound of the waves, spectacular sunsets, and star gazing. Adventurous guests can access Lake Michigan from the backyard by descending fifty steps, and then walking down the connected ladders while holding onto the rope. By next late spring 2024, we hope to install EZ stairs to replace the last section on linked ladders.
Public beaches in South Haven, Saugatuck, Glenn and elsewhere are a short drive away to both the north and south of the house. In addition, you will find boutique shops, restaurants, a pier, wineries, and breweries in South Haven, Saugatuck, and the surrounding countryside.
Spend your mornings lingering with a cup of coffee in the Adirondack chairs on the bluff; the afternoons reading, playing games in the backyard (corn hole, small inflatable pools), and enjoying the water; and your evenings basking in the breathtaking colors of the sunset, grilling on the large patio overlooking Lake Michigan, enjoying a drink under the gazebo, or snuggling with a loved one on the outdoor sofas or inside by the gas fireplace.
Enjoy wine tasting at four different wineries within fifteen minutes of the home, or Saugatuck Brewing Company if you prefer a brew. Enjoy ice cream, farm-fresh produce, and bakery treats at the Dutch Farm Market about a mile from the home. South Haven is less than ten minutes south and offers great shopping, several amazing restaurants mentioned in the guest book, a movie theater, and unique art galleries. Meijer and Aldi are just six miles south of the house for a convenient stop for anything you may need.
The house includes all linens, bath towels, coffee, charcoal grill, fire pit, roasting sticks, a sandbox, and extra beach toys. If there's anything else you'd like while staying at our lake house, please let us know and we will do out best to help with your request.
Two special notes:
1. Due to our rural location, our satellite internet does not always provide a strong signal. We continue to seek a better option.
2. The downstairs tub/shower drains slowly due to the installation design.
My family(8) and I, really enjoyed our time there. It was in a nice small town and the people were friendly. The house was clean, comfortable, and had an at-home feel. It is definitely on our radar for a potential summer rental.
We stayed here for a week for a family vacation which included 2 families with young children and grandparents. There was plenty of room for everyone! They recently added a large sand box near the bluff which got a ton of use. The bonus there is that you get to see a beautiful view while your kids burn off their energy. We did not utilize the ladder to get down to the beach as no one felt it was safe enough to try it. If there were stairs all the way down to the beach that would make this property just about perfect! There aren't a ton of pots/pans/bakeware, but enough to make it work. The nonstick pans are definitely scratched (I'm not sure I've ever seen a rental house that had pristine nonstick pans). The beds are comfortable enough. The location was amazing. The view...unbelievable! We got to see beautiful sunsets almost every night. It's an easy drive to South Haven beaches and into downtown. The grocery store is even closer, which was very convenient. We would definitely love to stay here again for our next family vacation. I highly recommend this property!
This house accommodated three generations for a brief reunion. There is plenty of space to relax, play games, and enjoy the big yard and the beach, too. Hosts are very responsive and the location is perfect -- right between South Haven and Saugatuk.
House was great, lots of room and different areas to accommodate our party of 9 ranging from 3 to 72. Easy drives to Saugatuck and Holland where we spent time shopping, eating, and enjoy the sites. We actually spent way more time at the house than I thought we would but everyone enjoyed just hanging out and playing games and relaxing with each other. Amy was great with communication, no issues wi to anything during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful house and view of Lake Michigan sunsets!. Nice, large yard. Home nicely decorated, with plenty of room to prepare food for rehearsal dinner and host the brides attendants morning of the wedding. Amy, the property manager, was super nice and very helpful in every aspect.
This property was a fantastic place to have a family or group gathering. The home was beautifully decorated, very comfortable, well equipped and had so much space, including the yard. Plus, the view of the lake was gorgeous. Would love to go back there sometime.
Beautiful house with amazing views of the lake! The sunsets were wonderful! Plenty of room for our group of 12. The inflatable slide was so fun for the kids and we loved playing ping pong. Close to the beach and restaurants. Amy was so quick to answer questions and very kind and helpful. Would recommend this property for sure!
Great place, just like pictures, and great, communicative host!!
Wonderful home with lots of space, a huge couch for naps and a nice big kitchen table for gathering at and beautiful sunsets. There’s a quirky art installation directly in front of the property that was fun to look at. Clean, within 10 minutes of downtown, perfect for our ladies weekend.
We have stayed at many rentals along Lake Michigan for the past 12 years, and there is one that we stay at yearly. Endless Lake just tied for our favorite. We plan to return! Layout is great for a 3 generation family, and amenities were perfect...there wasn't anything we wished we had. We stayed in January, so can't speak to summer needs, but I'm sure all would be fine. Lake view fantastic, large property for playing or campfire (yes, even in zero degree night temp we had 2 mini campfires using paper starter logs supplied onsite), large dining table, lots of furniture (altho my husband wished there had been an easy chair upstairs..too bad!), comfortable beds, super cozy bedding (Amy provided flannel sheets...with winter design!!), all kitchen tools and large/small appliances, plenty of dishes, flatware, glasses, well heated, really nice towels (yea). Amy was wonderful in initiating or responding to communications ( it was better for me via cell phone vs vrbo emails). she was polite, quick, and helpful; I try not to bother hosts, but i contacted her a bit more than normal, and she was gracious. We had excellent wifi, etc---no switching of time zones across lake, either. For those renting in summer, the erosion that has happened along the lake is devastating. Don't complain there is no private beach---just be thankful that Amy's home is still safe, enjoy the gorgeous views, and have a marvelous time!
