About this property

Ultimate Lakefront Retreat with Private beach and Kayak Launch in South Haven!

Summersgate is a gated family community that celebrates the outdoors with a private beach, kayak launch and amazing views of Lake Michigan in a tranquil setting.

Your home offers many amenities to celebrate the outdoors from a private pool, two rooftop decks, screened in porch and large fire pit all overlooking Lake Michigan. Your walk to the beach is 75 feet outside the gate to sunbathe or paddle board. Memories are waiting to be made daily viewing lake Michigan sunsets from the huge firepit with family and friends.

The home is well equipped with a chefs kitchen overlooking the dining room and screened in wrap around porch overlooking Lake Michigan. Five bedrooms, with one suite on the first and second floor.
Highly maintained with quality furnishings throughout. We are constantly upgrading the home and have added an old school gaming center in the basement that has a brunswick pool table, shuffle board table and ping pong! There is also a trundle bed in the basement as our guests have told us that kids like to hang and do slumber parties down there!

Summersgate reviews talk often how this is a unique place, a quiet respite from the real world with the focus on relaxing, enjoying the lakefront lifestyle and creating special memories. We couldn’t agree more and we look forward to hosting your family in 2023.

Summersgate Style
Our property In Michigan was just perfect for a family vacation. The home was lovely and spacious and all we had to do was unpack and start our adventure. We cooked many meals in the well stocked kitchen and spent our days in the heated pool and at night watching the beautiful sunsets down by the beach or at the awesome fire pit.. South Haven is a beautiful town to explore and we took advantage of all that it had to offer. This home provided us the chance to reconnect with family who are spaced many miles apart. Josh and his team should be proud of the peace and serenity that this lovely home provided us.. A satisfied guest and a five star rating Karen

About the host

Hosted by Jason Pietrucha

Host profile image
We live in Illinois and Michigan. We have two family homes in South Haven and have been here for over 25 years. This home is something we waited for years until it unveiled itself to us on a home tour. When on vacation we live life to its fullest when it comes to dining, entertaining our families and friends and getting our vacation vibe on as quickly as possible. This home sets the pace for you and your guests instantly. This home is decorated and beyond well furnished for a vacation rental. We want our guests to experience the pride and joy in how we present our lake house to your family to wind down, relax and start creating some memories. The pictures of our feasts are the real deal and you have the best produce in the nation at markets and roadside stands for spring and summer! Just cooked with morels last week with garlic, cognac and cream!! We care that our guests have an incredible stay and that you know all that there is to offer to set up your week for adventure at this amazing retreat!

Why they chose this property

We searched and finally found our ideal lakefront home that can handle entertaining large dinner parties in multiple areas, has an amazing pool layout and a wrap around porch. This home just has the "it" factor on so many different levels that is conducive to entertaining, yet also privacy. Kids have their private pool? Check. Kids and adults have ultimate entertaining indoors if rain pops in? Check as well with our old school game room with a custom brunswick pool table, shuffleboard and ping pong! Adults can watch from afar or up close? Check. Beach access? Check, but we much prefer the pool! Kids have private area for movies at night and adults can have privacy? Check. It is important to us that our guests that they experience all that South Haven and the surrounding communities have to offer during your stay. For us we focus our stays on doing farm to table dinners, so local farmers markets are explored daily to create incredible feasts. We like to offer guests itineraries as well so they get the most of their time outside of the home, but it is hard to leave the scenery here. If you are looking for a vacation that is a place to unwind and get off the grid and enjoy all that life has to offer, then this is your place. All we ask is that the home be taken care of as if it was your own and be used to its maximum by your guests for all the enjoyment it offers. The property is furnished impeccably and we want our guests to enjoy the finer things in life inside and out.

What makes this property unique

I feel like I am repeating myself with this, but this home has it all for a vacation home! Tie in some of our itinerary to your plans to create your unique week and you will have some amazing experiences that will bring you back every year to take in all that this home and South Haven has to offer!
