The cottage was just the right size for all of us! The walk to town and the beach were about 15 minute walks which were just fine! The biggest disadvantage was the dogs next door barked well into the night 3 of our 4 nights. ##### Aimee S.

The house itself had enough room to spread out but still felt cozy. My kids loved the outdoor tiki hut and the yard games provided, as well as the wide variety of games and puzzles in the house. I was worried the location would be a bit far from the beach / town - but it wasn't at all. We walked to downtown South Haven almost every day and split our beach days between walking / driving. Great stay overall! ##### Ashleigh C.

Loved the big round table for cards and games with friends. Enjoyed doing a puzzle and comfy couch. Beds a little firm for our taste. A little far for us to walk to town and beach (I have arthritis and recovering from cancer). Overall nice experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leanne V. 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet getaway Nice quiet getaway.
