About this property

Cozy South Haven Cottage with Private Beach Access

FALL/WINTER SPECIAL $175.00/NIGHT!!! This our family cottage we call "The Haven". It truly is a haven of relaxation and a great place to make family memories for years to come. Located just 8 miles from downtown South Haven and a little more than 12 miles from Saugatuck, this is the perfect location to unwind and relax, while having quick access to all the attractions of South Haven, and Saugatuck. The house is in a quiet neighborhood that is great for taking morning walks, enjoying the private beach just a few minutes walk down the road, or relaxing on the back deck watching the deer walk through the woods. The house features an open floor plan, with the master bedroom on the first floor, a spiral staircase up to a loft, and two more bedrooms on the second floor. We have 2 beds on the loft that are great for kids or that couple who wants to tag-along. The bathroom on the first floor features a 2 person jacuzzi to add to your relaxation. CENTRAL A/C added 2023!!!

This home was originally built by our family for the purpose of providing family vacations, it has grown over the years to include many friends. Now that our grandparents are gone, we are renting the house to provide income, but still use it for our family when renters are not occupying the home. With that in mind, we are looking for responsible renters who are looking for a great getaway with their family or friends.

If you are looking for a place to party, this is not the right place to rent. For those looking for a fun family vacation, quiet time away from the office, or a getaway with friends, we are certain that you will love our house.

Please contact us with any questions you may have. Something to consider: Much of our private neighborhood beach has been consumed by the lake. While it is still available on some days, North Beach and South Beach located in downtown South Haven will provide a much better beach experience.

Please see our rental agreement under the "rules" section. Casco County has implemented new legislation that requires us to use a rental agreement. We have done our best to make it straight forward, easy to understand, and the least prohibitive as possible to your stay at our Haven.

Fantastic place!
The house was lovely. Well stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch swing and drinking our coffee in the mornings. We even saw deers loping through the woods! The back patio is very nice too. We enjoyed eating outside and relaxing. Thanks for the wonderful place to stay!

South Haven 2023
We loved the house. Plenty of sleeping room, open kitchen, dining and living room. Most of our time was spent on the deck or the beach. The deck is in need of repairs, we avoided the bad spots. There are wrens nesting in the side of house. We had deer wonder through plus an abundance of chipmunks. The beach is a rock hunters dream, you will want swim shoes. We did drive to the beach. It's very walkable, if you're young. There's a hill you need to walk up similar to walking up several flights of stairs. The new central air was fantastic and influenced our decision to book. Unfortunately the jacuzzi tub wasn't working. All in all, we'd go again.

Great, cozy home
We loved the location, situation about halfway between South Haven and Saugatuck, two of our favorite towns. The private beach was great for a morning walk and viewing the sunset. The home was clean and well kept. The host was great about contacting and tidying all aspects of the stay. Will definitely be back!
