Beautiful home on the lake
We loved walking down to Lake Michgan. The house sits on top of a bluff and was the perfect location for watching the sun set and roasting marshmellows on the fire pit. My family enjoyed a wonderful week here.

Love the View
Your home is gorgeous!! We loved all of the details and care you put into it. Our ping pong tourney was a blast! my only issue was with the steps down to the beach. I didn't realize it was nearly 200 steps. It wouldn't have been a problem, except my husband has a knee injury and was never able to go to the beach as we were not sure he could make it back up. I have come to find out that several reviewers make reference to the amount of steps. I suppose I should have read more reviews. I wish that you had put the amount of steps in your main description, so that we wouldn't have been caught off guard. Thank you.

Beautiful house in a peaceful lakefront location
Wonderful view of the lake greets you as soon as you walk through the front door, and the house was spotless and very comfortable. It has a well situated kitchen and gorgeous dining room table. The beds were great and we appreciated that each had its own en-suite bathroom. The wood flooring throughout the house is stunning. The owner was super responsive and hospitable. We had a deer visit the backyard which was a nice surprise. Highly recommended, and we’d love to visit again sometime.

We had a great stay. We planned a last minute trip and Jim was super helpful and responded quickly to all our questions. The house is great, clean, and the location is quiet. We loved the beach access and view from the house and the yard. We wouldn't hesitate to come again with just our family or a larger group!

Great Getaway!
We had 3 couples for a long weekend getaway and chose this house because every bedroom has a lake view and its own bath. Also the main space is open for gathering PLUS there’s beach access for long walks along the water! The house was just as shown and even better. It’s lovely and light inside. Kitchen was great for food prep and shared meals at the big table. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch looking out at the lake and sunset cocktails down on the beach. Grilled out in the back yard which is also well-appointed—tables with umbrellas, outdoor shower, swing located perfectly to watch the lake/sunset. The 180 step staircase to the beach is a workout, so be advised (and make sure you have what you want as “running back to the house to get something” is a real climb! But the beach area is private and so much fun to walk. Easy swimming/wading/beach rock collecting too, and they keep chairs for you stored conveniently close to the bottom of the staircase. No beach towels/cooler in the house, so bring your own. (NOTE TO JIM: that might be something to add to this already well-stocked place.) The house is close to both Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven for restaurants and shopping/exploring. We went to nearby state park for a hike too (dunes trails and beach access). This place will be gorgeous ALL year around. The host was so easy to work with and really responsive when I had a few questions about check-in. Highly recommend.

Marvelous!
Let me just preface this by saying that during the last 10 years we have stayed at over 40 vacation homes throughout the midwest. This one stands out and I am grateful to the owner for letting us enjoy this lakefront property and create memorable family experiences. We had an extended weekend stay with kids 9-13 and greatly enjoyed all amenities the house had to offer and the private beach. What stood out to me the most, was the striking architectural elegance of the home. Inside and out, everything in its proper place, harmonious symmetry and masterful design execution down to the smallest detail. Other highlights for us are the outdoor spaces and private beach. We would spend long hours at the beach and nights around the firepit on the patio enjoying ourselves and the vistas. I loved the beach. In the early hours, waters were calm and kids would swim, play games, and go pebble hunting. At the time, water was waste deep 50 yards into the lake which was awesome. Mornings I would run up and down the stairs that lead to the beach for an awesome workout. That said, if you have any kind of mobility issues, you will not be able to enjoy the beach as the vertical drop to it is significant. The athletic types would love it. I would highly recommend this vacation home and we will hopefully be back someday soon.

Lake Michigan Family Vacation
Outstanding lake home with beach access at the end of your private stairs. Our entire family enjoyed the Beautiful, well designed for families, beach home. Between cooking breakfasts in the spacious/ open kitchen to grilling dinners on the patio with a bonfire, couldn’t get any better…! Our adult children and grandchildren loved playing in the water, as Papa and Gigi watched and walked along the beach. Shopping lunch in downtown South Haven was excellent too. Highly Recommend!

Amazing views, beautiful home
We had a great stay at this home. The views were great, the home was very clean, modern and comfortable. The beach was private and beautiful- we saw a deer on the beach twice. There are many steps to the beach, but we knew that before renting and viewed it as our exercise. The host was great and responsive.

Great Location & Views
We really loved this location. There was plenty of space indoors and outdoors for our group of 12. All the bedrooms had attached bathrooms, which was super convenient. The indoor space was very clean and well decorated with a beachy vibe. It was a short walk to the beach, & we appreciated having beach chairs and toys provided. The outdoor space was amazing and offered a spectacular view of the water. We would definitely come back to this location.

Beautiful home base for a perfect fall trip!
My family of 4 (adults and teens) stayed here over our fall break and we could not have been more pleased. The home is clean, comfortable and the views cannot be beat! It is just as advertised. It would be great for a larger group as well - there is just so much space! We had fun playing ping pong, going to the private beach and watching the sunsets from the back porch. The home is perfectly located to explore SW Michigan. I highly recommend this home!

Our stay was wonderful. The house is very nice and clean. It is well built to enable panoramic views of lake Michigan from numerous rooms including the family room, dining room kitchen and three bedrooms upstairs two of which have balconies one can walk onto. There is easy access to a private beach and the house is situated well so there is easy access to Downtown South Haven and Saugatuck. This is a real gem. The owners are available and very responsive to questions one may have. I would highly recommend this house.
