    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed to cook (we made a full Thanksgiving meal!), to relax, and to enjoy each other's company. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

    Easy walk to town, beach, food, and bars. The cabin was equipped very well in the kitchen. Bring your own pillows but beds were comfortable. Only 2 bathrooms but still workable. Outdoor space was great with several chairs, tables, and umbrellas.

    Perfect location for easy beach access. Loved the extra included amenities, like beach chairs and wagon. It was great for our large group with plenty of sleeping options. The communication was very straightforward with a description of all of the quirks of the house, so it was nice to know what to expect.

    This was a very good place for our family, 3 couples plus a toddler. Very convenient to have a changing table , high chair, portable crib, crib sheets right there. The sun porch was his favorite play area. The beach was very close, a couple minutes by car or a short walk. It's a great location, we walked into town and a long the beach to the lighthouse. The kitchen has everything we needed, and there was a lot of room to sit around and to have the high chair at the table. Katherine, the host , kept in touch to make sure everything was ok. Tip from a long time South Haven visitor: go to the newly reopened Sherman's Ice Cream.

    Family was getting married in Allegan. We used this place to stay during the wedding and after. It has a great location near the beach as well as not a long drive to the wedding venue. Kathy was great to work with. She made sure that we had everything we needed including all of the beach toys.

    The house was perfect for our family get away. It's stocked with nearly everything you need and more...especially the kitchen. There were baby items available to use which was so helpful. The beds were comfortable. We would stay here again.

    We really enjoyed the house for our family trip to South Haven. The kitchen/living room space was great for us to hangout together at night and the location was very convenient to walk to the beach and downtown. We barely used our car. The house was as expected and had plenty of beach chairs and toys for us to use. Thanks for sharing your home!

    That cottage was nice but it was not a good match for our family. We had 9 adults and it was tight. I can see how the cottage would be ideal if our 5 kids were little ones. I would recommend the cottage but not for people with big kids.
