Country Cottage on the Lakeshore--Few Minutes from Beach

Country cottage, sitting in between the two beach towns of Saugatuck and South Haven. This property is also right on the Lakeshore on the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail. Across the street is a farm that sells fresh eggs, fruit, vegetables, etc. You pull out of the private drive and turn left or right and you will hit a public beach in the next two miles. One of the beaches is a county park with a playground, restrooms, and baseball field. Pets are accepted with a fee.

This house has a very private rural setting, yet is still within driving distance to many places. The master bedroom has a softer mattress, which we appreciate. My husband loved that they had Dish TV and Starlink internet. The owners were great and answered all of our questions. We wouldn't hesitate to return here.

This property was absolutely perfect! It's set back off the road into a little clearing in the woods. The house was clean and cozy and perfect for our girls weekend! We especially loved the patio- it was the perfect setting to read and paint. The dining area was well lit which was great for playing our board games. The beds were comfy. There was construction going on behind the property but it didn't bother us at all. We were perfectly situated between Saugatuck and South Haven and there were so many lovely little farmers markets and roadside stands in the area. If you like a view of the water head in to lunch at the BARge in Saugatuck and sit upstairs-amazing! You can't beat the sunset in South Haven on the beach. We fell in love with the area and intend to make this a semi-annual weekend away! Bonus-Saturday morning we we're visited by a whole family of deer!

Home away from home

The location was perfect! Private and beautiful but close to the town and beaches. The house was so clean and came with everything we needed. Comfy beds and plenty of towels. They had games for the family and a nice fire pit.

Early bday gift for my wife

The stay was absolutely amazing… we have stayed here before and came back since the place is really quiet and love the wild life we get to see… this time we saw wild turkeys run through the backyard and deer… it is great having beaches near by and we absolutely love the farm right across the street.. Dee is so funny and always has a story to tell…Thank you again for our lovely stay and hope to return again next year
