Our South Haven vacation rental boasts a clean, simple style that will remind you of HGTV, while still preserving the cottage's cozy charm. Unwind on the front porch rockers or in front of the living room fireplace. The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with quartz countertops, two full bathrooms with double quartz vanities and custom tiled showers.

The cottage layout includes a downstairs queen bedroom, an upstairs queen bedroom, an upstairs loft twin bunk bed room (located between the two upstairs bedrooms), and an upstairs full bedroom. We've thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable, from kids' toys and books to beach chairs, a cooler bag, and games.

Our location is unbeatable—just two blocks from the beach at the blue stairs, where you can witness stunning Lake Michigan sunsets. We're also a stone's throw from the amazing Kids Corner playground, a short walk to the splash pad, and five to six blocks from downtown. Additionally, we're steps away from the paved Van Buren State Park Trail and a short ride to the Kal-Haven 33.5-mile trail for biking, running, or walking. For unforgettable experiences, consider booking a fishing charter or a sailboat cruise (ask us for a referrals).

Our cottage is open year-round, offering the perfect winter retreat. You can walk, cross-country ski, or snowmobile along the Kal-Haven trail. Downtown offers ice skating in a festive atmosphere, or you can go downhill skiing at Timber Ridge or Bittersweet (35-45 miles away). After exploring, indulge in shopping and dining downtown while taking in the majestic lighthouse in all its winter glory. Then return to the cottage to relax in front of a warm, cozy fire.

The cottage sits on a double lot, featuring a custom brick paver firepit and a grassy area adjacent to a spacious brick patio/driveway. This area is perfect for bonding with family and friends around the fire or enjoying a game of cornhole (boards provided).

Great Location, very relaxing

This house is in a great location close to the beach, parks and also not far from the main shops in town. We walked pretty much everywhere with our 2 year old. The neighborhood was also very quiet for anyone looking to just get away from the hustle and bustle. Carrie was very responsive and helpful with anything needed, would stay again.

Great little beach house

Perfect for an easy family beach getaway. Beach chairs, umbrella and toys were provided. Home was exceptionally clean. Note that if you bring a wagon for the beach, you’ll likely need to drive as there is a full staircase at the beach entrance closest to the home (about 2 blocks).

We really enjoyed staying at Carrie’s cozy cottage! So clean and updated. Just a couple blocks from the beach at Lake Michigan. Had a fun night playing Heads Up at the gorgeous firepit. She has everything you need there. Any questions we had Carrie responded either immediately or within a couple minutes. We will definitely stay here again when we travel over to South Haven

South Haven Trip

This property was exactly what we were looking for at South Haven. The location was great for the beach and close enough to hit up other points of interest. The floor plans provide a lot of flexibility and recent renovations are holding up nicely. The side yard and well stocked game/toy cabinet were a perfect mix of fun for both young and old. Definitely hope to return at some point!

Delightful!

Biggest plus for me is location! Literally 3 minute walk to the park bench overlooking the lake. Close to blue stairs, Kids Corner, and town. Also appreciated quiet mornings on the porch, plenty of fire pit seating, large bathrooms, and quality of furnishings (including baby items!) Sometimes I’m uncomfortable in someone else’s home, but not here! Clean, comfortable, and oh so cute! Felt like I stepped into someone’s Pinterest.

Perfect Getaway

What an absolute Gem! A beautifully renovated 100+ year old house with all the comforts of home..fully appointed kitchen, comfy beds, washer/dryer discretely placed on main floor, among other things. Keyless entry so no worry about losing keys. Decor is light and airy. Multiple windows allow the light to fill the home yet easy operating shades allow for full privacy at night. Location is perfectly situated..close to the cute downtown area and just a few min walk to the beach to see the stunning Sunsets..Nice outdoor area with Grill and Firepit (along with a Welcome S'more Kit) Carrie is everything you would want in a host..Friendly and Responsive to any questions. My only regret? That we could spend more time there❤️

We will definitely rent this house again! Carrie was an amazing host, and spared no detail in designing an outfit in the home for our stay. Every detail even down to a basket of goodies to make s’mores. The location is two blocks from the beach and a quick walk into town. The absolute ideal location. Communication was quick and very easy.
