About this property

Peaceful family-friendly retreat near South Haven. Walk to the association beach, relax on the screened porch, grill dinner, and gather around the large fire pit under the stars. Just 15 minutes to downtown South Haven and Lake Michigan beaches.

  • Peaceful woodland retreat near Lake Michigan perfect for families and groups. Walk about 10 minutes to the association beach or drive 15 minutes to city centre South Haven for restaurants, shops, and the lighthouse. Enjoy a large backyard with firepit, relaxing screened porch, and spacious living areas designed for gathering after beach days.

    The home is located in a quiet, wooded lakeshore area just outside of South Haven. It’s a peaceful area where you’ll often see deer wandering through the yards and hear birds in the morning — a relaxing contrast to the busier beach towns nearby.

    Guests have access to a private association beach on Lake Michigan, about a 10-minute walk from the house (or a quick drive if you prefer to bring beach gear). It’s a wonderful spot to swim, watch sunsets, or enjoy a quieter lake day away from the larger public beaches.

    When you’re ready to explore, city centre South Haven is only about 15 minutes away. There you’ll find Lake Michigan’s famous sandy beaches, the South Haven lighthouse, waterfront restaurants, ice cream shops, and charming boutiques.

    The area itself is very calm and family-friendly — perfect for morning walks, bike rides, and relaxing evenings around the fire pit after a day at the lake.

    Guests have full access to the entire home. The ease of self-check-in is assured with a keypad interface. Free parking is available on-premises for your vehicles.


    This home is designed with families and groups in mind.

    ✔ Spacious living areas for gathering
    ✔ Screened porch for morning coffee and evening conversations
    ✔ Large backyard with bonfire pit
    ✔ Grill for outdoor meals
    ✔ Fully stocked kitchen with cookware, dishes, and essentials
    ✔ Plenty of space for everyone to relax

    The kitchen has everything you need to cook for your group — whether you're making a big breakfast before the beach or hosting a family dinner after a day exploring the lakeshore.

    Beach & Location

Spacious property near beach

We stayed at the woodland retreat for a nearby wedding. The house is very spacious and well kept. There is plenty of space with one bedroom and full bath on each floor. Beach is about a 10 minute walk or a short drive away. Would absolutely stay again!
