Wonderful place to stay. Quaint, peaceful, and quite, which is exactly what we needed. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Walkable to downtown restaurants, shops, the beach, and the lighthouse. We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck/patio facing the river at the start and end our days there. It was a lovely retreat for my husband and I for a quick getaway from home. It felt exactly like a beach vacation but only a couple hours away instead of a full day's worth of travel. We'll definitely be back.

Great stay, comfy place

This is a perfect little place to stay if you want to be close to the action of both downtown and the beach. Great sunrises in the morning on the patio decks. Watch the boats go by on the river. Clean and quiet. Host was very communicative.

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-
