Lovely weekend
Beautiful home in a great location. Close to the beach on a quiet street. Communication with host was very helpful. Easy check in. Fresh flowers in the unit and coffee were a nice touch. Beautiful garden and nice screened porch. Hope to visit again. Great weekend with friends.

Cute apartment!
The perfect size and accommodations for our group of 4. We loved and enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch over looking the Black River. If you ever stay here, make sure you check out their impressive flower garden. My only request would be to have more comfortable beds.

The Best of South Haven
After a wonderful stay last year, my husband and I returned for another lovely weekend in this beautifully appointed home away from home. You'll get a good night's sleep in the comfortable bedrooms and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. It is a special place, conveniently located for walking downtown or to the lake and with great views of the river from the comfort of the screened porch. We looked forward to our stay and hope to make it an annual visit!

Family trip
We recently stayed at this lovely home with our two young children, aged four and six, and had a wonderful experience. The house was perfect for our family. It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable—they provided clean towels, beach toys, and even activities to keep the kids entertained. The garden was beautiful and added to the charm of the place. The hosts were incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming stay. We would definitely come back

Fantastic mothers Day!
Spent a long weekend in South Haven with my husband and kids. The lake house was perfect. Super clean and very comfortable. Loved the view from the porch and the garden. Kitchen has everything we needed, especially appreciated the tea and coffee! The beach, shops, and restaurants were just a short walk to town. Food options were great. Enjoyed the farmers market, ice cream, and Italian restaurants. Our favorite memory was flying kites on the beach. Loved this trip!!

Great location!
First, I want to compliment the host (John) who was very nice and great with communication before and during the whole trip. Second- the location was fantastic. It was the last house on a dead end right be the lake. I loved sitting on the covered porch swing and watching the boats. We could walk downtown (a couple blocks) or walk down to the Riverfront walk. Watching the beautiful sunset was a bonus. We ate dinner and shopped or just walked around South Haven. That town is hopping. We had to wait to get in restaurants. We also took a short drive to Saugantuck which was a beautiful artsy/charming town. We walked along the waterway, as well as ate there. Not sure why I waited so long to visit that area. It quickly become a favorite. Enjoy your trip if you go! Linda
