Classic Michigan cottage with access to Lake Michigan. Nestled in a wooded lot a block away from the lakefront, and a three block walk to a beautiful, private beach on Lake Michigan, it's the perfect get-away.

great location midway between Saugatuck and South Haven. two minute walk to the lake overlook for a beautiful sunset. very walkable area. many wineries and produce stands nearby.
Rustic charm very private
Enjoyed the privacy and location of the house. Nice outdoor area and plenty of space for our group of 5. Easy drive to nearby towns and very nice private beach area.
When my husband first told me he booked this house I was a little confused because it is a bit out of town and we normally stay I right in South Haven. It was a fabulous surprise! We ended up loving the neighborhood, and the beach access was unparalleled. You’re able to drive your car right up to the beach and leave it there. The beach is, so private and just wide-open. Wonderful for rock collecting. If we hadn’t just impulsively bought a cottage in South Haven, I would want to stay here every year! Clean and lovely home, great communication with owner.
Very nice home that is very comfortable and well appointed. Held three couple very comfortably. Location is great for going to the local towns and walking to the lake right from the house. Great communication with Mary, the owner.
A lovely home perfect for a small group. So close to the lake you can see and hear it! Nestled in what seems like a nature preserve...the private beach is amazing.
The host was great to work with - great communication and very responsive to inquiries. After a slight glitch, which Mary was immediately available to address the issue, the time spent met our expectations. I would have like to see a little more thorough cleaning when we arrived (fireplace full of ashes, food crumbs in the couch cushions, a few spider webs in the tub) but we did ok. Overall, and enjoyable stay.
Great setting for a family and/or friends’ reunion. Relax and regroup in this beautiful home while soaking in the hot tub, playing games, eating a yummy grilled dinner, or watching a movie. Walk or drive to the nearby quiet gorgeous neighborhood beach. Have a cocktail at Sunset Park… drive 6 miles to South Haven for dinner by the lake or River or a bigger beach experience. Mary responds quickly and sent a friendly warning on Sunday, encouraging us to be very careful because the lake was rough. My only constructive criticism is that the coffee maker was slow and should be replaced with a Keurig or higher quality machine but I’m a coffee snob. I ended up buying a $60 Keurig from Walmart that was well worth the investment. Also you will need to filter your drinking water with the Brita pitcher as it has a funky taste. No big deal. I recommend this listing and would definitely return.
The home is on a wooded lot with plenty of privacy, fire pit and hot tub. It is a steep ~ 1/2 mile walk to the beach. We drove and took our kayaks. The beach is private and at times busy but plenty of space for our crew of 7. We slept great and made many meals in the kitchen or used the grill. The owner helped with any questions quickly. The upstairs gets a little warm but overall a great place to spend time together.
We had a nice stay. Very comfortable home. Watching the sunset from the beach was stunning.
What a gem, to have a Lake Michigan beach to yourself!
