Plus steps away from the paved Van Buren State Park Trail and a short ride to the Kal-Haven 33.5 mile trail for biking, running or walking.

Our cottage is open for year round fun and is the perfect winter retreat! Walk, cross country ski or snowmobile the Kal-Haven trail.

Then shop and dine downtown after viewing the lighthouse in all of it’s winter glory! End the day by coming home to relax in front of a warm, cozy fireplace.

The cottage is perfect for a family vacations, girls retreat or romantic getaway.

Summer in South Haven

This home was in a great location. Easy walk to the beach and downtown. The house had plenty of space for our family of four. The bathrooms were beautiful. We also loved sitting by the fire pit in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location, very relaxing

This house is in a great location close to the beach, parks and also not far from the main shops in town. We walked pretty much everywhere with our 2 year old. The neighborhood was also very quiet for anyone looking to just get away from the hustle and bustle. Carrie was very responsive and helpful with anything needed, would stay again.

We really enjoyed staying at Carrie’s cozy cottage! So clean and updated. Just a couple blocks from the beach at Lake Michigan. Had a fun night playing Heads Up at the gorgeous firepit. She has everything you need there. Any questions we had Carrie responded either immediately or within a couple minutes. We will definitely stay here again when we travel over to South Haven

South Haven Trip

This property was exactly what we were looking for at South Haven. The location was great for the beach and close enough to hit up other points of interest. The floor plans provide a lot of flexibility and recent renovations are holding up nicely. The side yard and well stocked game/toy cabinet were a perfect mix of fun for both young and old. Definitely hope to return at some point!

We absolutely loved our stay at Carrie's house! She is an incredible host with such excellent communication and a welcoming manner. This was our first trip to South Haven and she gave me great information on places to go, where to eat, how to enjoy the area etc. We loved the history of the house and it is really so charming and cozy. Can't wait to come back another time!

Beautiful cottage close to beach and downtown!

Right off the bat, Carrie and Marc communicated information to us regarding the property and our stay. Upon arrival, the house was very inviting and clean. The surrounding neighborhood was amazing, too. 2 blocks to the beach and a few more to downtown made it very convenient. Enjoyable stay for our family and would highly recommend this property! Hosts were so friendly and informative!!

Delightful!

Biggest plus for me is location! Literally 3 minute walk to the park bench overlooking the lake. Close to blue stairs, Kids Corner, and town. Also appreciated quiet mornings on the porch, plenty of fire pit seating, large bathrooms, and quality of furnishings (including baby items!) Sometimes I’m uncomfortable in someone else’s home, but not here! Clean, comfortable, and oh so cute! Felt like I stepped into someone’s Pinterest.

Family Getaway

We will definitely rent this house again! Carrie was an amazing host, and spared no detail in designing an outfit in the home for our stay. Every detail even down to a basket of goodies to make s’mores. The location is two blocks from the beach and a quick walk into town. The absolute ideal location. Communication was quick and very easy.

Great House, Close to beach and town, yet quiet neighborhood.

Excellent host. Communicated well and made sure we enjoyed our stay. House was clean and updated, could walk everywhere (although we had even more fun by renting a golf cart). Rooms were very comfortable, although upper level requires walking through the bunk room and a bedroom to access the main bathroom (but what a beautiful bathroom it is!). This makes this rental best for families with children in my opinion.

This was a cute house. It had everything we needed. The gas fireplace was so nice on a cold and wet night and it let out a good amount of heat. The location was perfect. Easy walk to the beach and I felt safe walking in the dark. Carrie was great. She answered any questions I had and always responded. I would recommend anyone to stay here.

This was a wonderful house for a relaxing vacation. The house is located a couple blocks from the beach, a couple blocks from the playground and a few blocks from downtown. We enjoyed the walkability, having little kids and not ever needing to load them into the car. The house was clean and the beds were all very comfortable.

Perfect Getaway

What an absolute Gem! A beautifully renovated 100+ year old house with all the comforts of home..fully appointed kitchen, comfy beds, washer/dryer discretely placed on main floor, among other things. Keyless entry so no worry about losing keys. Decor is light and airy. Multiple windows allow the light to fill the home yet easy operating shades allow for full privacy at night. Location is perfectly situated..close to the cute downtown area and just a few min walk to the beach to see the stunning Sunsets..Nice outdoor area with Grill and Firepit (along with a Welcome S'more Kit) Carrie is everything you would want in a host..Friendly and Responsive to any questions. My only regret? That we could spend more time there❤️

Super week at the beach!

Great location in pretty neighborhood about 3 blocks to beach access. And only 1 block to kids corner. House is updated, clean and well appointed. Kitchen and bathrooms are brand new, very clean, super functional. We enjoyed fire pit, grill, porch, and driveway/play area. Kids love the bunk beds, play space, their own tv (!!) and video game. Owners are great with communication and very helpful. Great week at the beach!
