Wonderful, relaxing getaway
Home away from home! This is an excellently maintained, clean, & safe property that offers so many conveniences and amenities. The hosts have thought of everything from a well-stocked kitchen, to flashlights, to beach chairs and umbrellas, and more. Even frosty mugs in the freezer ready for your cold drinks! Host was easily accessible and responsive. The area feels remote but is only minutes from downtown South Haven and a short walk to a small private beach. The backyard is beautiful with mature trees and wildlife. Plenty of space for my 2 kids upstairs. YouTubeTV and other streaming available for rainy days. One of the best places we've stayed & we will definitely return!

Home away from home. It had everything you could need. We loved the quietness of the neighborhood/area, close to town, beaches, walking or taking tram down to the private beach area, hanging on back patio, watching nature (deer, rabbits, etc.) and/or just relaxing with our son & his family where I could cook his favorite dinners. When in the area, we would stay here again.

Back to the Lake
Reunion with friends from 30 plus year ago summers at Sleepy Hollow was a sweet success. We needed a home on the lake that accommodated our sweet Uma dog and was close to SH. This Lakehouse fit the bill. It is well appointed and provided us all adequate personal space and a delightful back yard. We were sad the beach suffered so much erosion but we went down to Sleepy Hollow as well as the dog beach and nostalgic visits to The Oval. Special thanks to our VRBO hosts for such a nice home stay on the Lake.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this location immediately due to it's privacy and proximity to all that South Haven, Fennville, Saugatuck/Douglas and beyond have to offer. We take pride in maintaining and managing it ourselves.

What makes this property unique

Due to our private, wooded backyard, we love seeing nature up close like deer, red fox, bunnies and birds of all kinds. We also love the nearby convenience of the beach and the spectacular sunsets! Star gazing at night; napping in the hammock by day; taking long walks along the beach have become pastimes. We have favorite restaurants, farmers markets and local business owners that make us feel like a part of the community which is so welcoming in South Haven. Thanks for choosing us!
