FABULOUS river views!

We absolutely LOVED this property, I think our favorite part was the amazing patio. We would spend about 2-3 hours out there in the morning and then another hour or so in the afternoon, it was unbelievably peaceful! Accommodations were so cozy, and check-in/out could not have been easier! Also, A communication from Chad, he was so helpful and checked in from time to time to make sure we had everything we needed. Walking distance to downtown/riverside restaurants was a real plus, too! Would absolutely stay here again. :)

Best Stay ever!

This property was just beautiful and so clean. The view of the river, the sunrise, watching the pink moon rise, watching the parade of boats, everything was wonderful. South Haven is wonderful! So many wonderful restaurants, our favorites , which has Small plates, amzing martinis. Then The River Bottom, a speakeasy with amazing ambience and wonderul turkish food. Will definitely be coming back! Our hosts kept us informed of everything and have an app on everything about the property and area. Really great adventure. were Taste-

Great Condo with an amazing view

We did a short mid-week trip and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The condo is within walking distance to old harbor, the beach, numerous restaurants, bars and shops. We spent the evening out on the balcony watching the boats come in from the lake.

Early Fall Stay

We enjoyed our stay and will consider staying here again on any future trips to the area. The unit was clean, bed comfortable, nicely decorated, and the communications with the owner throughout the process were good. The view of the boats coming and going on the river were great, with good views of the sunrises from the decks. Very close to the downtown area and beaches for walking and sunset viewing.
