Family Friendly Lake Cottage

South Haven, Michigan, United States

We bought this 3 bedroom, 2 bath house because it is perfect for our family and it was in the perfect location for a family get away. To us, this house is a refuge from our day to day lives. We arrive and are able to relax and take the days at the pace we wish. Our three boys keep us hopping most of the time, so we simply love arriving in South Haven, relaxing, and taking the days as they come. Most summer days I head out before anybody is out of bed and comb the beach for fossils. Once everyone is up, we generally spend the middle part of the day at the beach---set up umbrella and chairs, build sand castle and walls, swim, run, dive, throw balls in the surf, and look for more fossils! We often leave our gear on the beach and walk back for lunch at the house, then return to the beach for a bit longer. We often play wiffle ball and other sports, in the side yard, with kids in the surrounding homes. The park is one block away and our three boys (14,12,and 9) come and go from park to house (with permission) whenever they wish---safe and no busy streets to cross. brbrOur house, as mentioned, has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. With aging parents (we're not getting younger either), it was important to have one ground floor bedroom. So, our layout is one bed and one bathroom on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. The upstairs also has a loft with a futon, for additional sleeping space. brThe home was built in 1890's by a Lake Michigan ships captain (see info in house to learn more about this unique captain!). We have radiator heat in the shoulder/winter seasons---as well as some mobile space heaters to target high use areas. In the summer, we put in window air conditioners, which are needed some days and other days are not.brWe have a dining room and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen does have a dishwasher and microwave. There is a patio table and chairs off the back of the house and a gas grill for your use.brWe are in a family neighborhood. This is not a party house and should not be rented for purposes beyond family vacations.brAlso, this house is an original. If you want a cookie cutter new house, look elsewhere. Yes, updates have been made over the years, but it is still just a cottage built 125 years ago....give or take! If you require a new or renovated place, look elsewhere......our house is a fairly original and perfect for us or unpretentious guests. :)brRent is 2100 a week in the summer.......1400 per week any other time. 150 cleaning fee. This rental info is accurate....if the system spits out something else, ignore it and just contact me. Rentals are Saturday to Saturday in summer. More flexible off season. I do not use the 'instant' booking option, as I like to have some interaction with guests before signing off on a rental. So, send a request and provide enough info that I understand a bit about your family and intentions.
