What a great property! I travel frequently, and this was one of my favorite stays. The property, staff, free breakfast, free happy hour, live music, and adorable room were all wonderful. Perfect location to walk to beach, bars/restaurants, farmer's market, etc. I would definitely stay in South Haven again and would book this property if available.

The gentlemen running this place are so nice & caring. It is in the middle of everything. We only used our car when we drove up to Saugatuck. Loved having a home base in the middle of South Haven. The made to order breakfast was perfect. It’s the last cute, quaint and personable place I’ve ever stayed. Would go back with any group, friends, couples or family.
