Five Bedroom Cottage Near Lake Michigan

This house has everything you will need. Liliana is a great host and her response time is incredible.

The house is charming, nice neighborhood, very close to downtown, walkable (for good walkers) to south beach.Good communication. Our family griller said to say grill is 10 of 10.

Liliana was a wonderful host. We had a lovely stay at her cottage. It reminded me of my mom’s lake house

We've stayed in this house four times now, and we'll book it again. Our group is typically five adults and two kids, and there's plenty of room for all of us. In fact, we could add a few more kids to the group and still be comfortable. The house is a 15-20 minute walk from the beach. We typically drive to the beach and park in the pay lot or on one of the neighborhood streets east of South Beach. It's an easy 10-minute walk, however, to downtown. And our sports-loving kids love to play in the park that's just a block away (basketball hoop with 7 ft. rim, baseball diamond, playground equipment). My wife runs on the Kal-Haven trail (a short walk away) most mornings. The house itself is always clean and well maintained. Big dining room table. Great deck with a gas grill in the back. Biggest drawback: the kitchen is small. You'll have some log jams there. Otherwise, this house is perfect for families. As I mentioned, we'll definitely be back.

Great utilization of space. Kids loved the bunk beds, the yard to run in, playing with sidewalk chalk and the many books available to read. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious enough to accommodate all 10 of us, as well as the large dining table. Beaches in South Haven are some of the best I have ever been.

The house was perfect for our family which included elderly as well as young children. The spacious living room and dining room were perfect for gathering and there was plenty of room for folks to spread out for quiet time. The bunk room is a pass-thru room between the dining room and laundry/back bedroom, back bathroom. The twin room is off to the side of the bunk room. There are doors to close so kids can sleep in quiet while adults stay up. The weather was chilly during our stay and we found this area of the house chilly when those interior doors were closed. We especially love all the books/games, front porch, back deck, back yard, firepit, plenty of dishes/cups/silverware/dining chairs/towels/pillows. The water pressure is great and there is tons of hot water. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly and location is a 2 minute drive to town or 15 min walk. Tot park is very close. The house is beautifully decorated without being cluttered. We love the beautiful artwork everywhere. Communication was prompt, friendly and instructions clear. We would love to stay again.

The location of the home is great! It was an easy walk downtown to restaurants and shops. The home offered plenty of space, but could use some updates. All in all, a good trip!

This was our first trip to South Haven and we had a wonderful time! The cottage was perfect for our family which included me, my husband, two adult sons, daughter in law and two toddler grand daughters. The layout worked well since our son's family could utilize the back half of the house for their sleeping area A door could be closed after the girls went to bed so we didn't bother them with games or conversatons. I believe the owners have thought of everything we might need with a nicely stocked kitchen, bathroom supplies, books, games and even blankets for snuggling in the living room. The spaces were all extremely clean. We easily walked to town for restaurants and shops. The beach was walkable too, however, we did drive one car down to transport the umbrellas, coolers, etc. We would love to vacation in South Haven again and would stay in this cottage if it was available.

The house was very clean but old. Neighborhood is quiet and nice. It is a little further than I expected to downtown or the beach, about a mile each way, so you aren't going to go back and forth much. The bunk beds are in a converted hallway area without much privacy, and the bedrooms are small, but it suited our group of 8 adults just fine. We didn't use the bunk beds. I struggled to contact the hostess thru VRBO. She contacted me, but when I tried to reply the link would take me to VRBO's home page, not to the property. In general, we had a great time.

A nice little home walking distance to everything South Haven has to offer. The listing accurately represents that some of the bedrooms are small, but there's enough room to sleep. Common areas are comfy, and there's everything you need. Loved the location, and loved South Haven.

Comfortable house within walking distance to downtown South Haven. Nice roomy home with shaded back yard, fire pit and deck.
