Further details for this vacation house rental in South Haven, Michigan

'The Guest House' is the PERFECT spot for those large family or multi-family gatherings. This is the type of property that you will return to for years to come! The Guest House comes fully stocked with linens, kitchenware, pots, pans, deck chairs & lounges, etc. It also has a brand new washer and dryer, CATV, a DVD player, as well as a stereo w/CD player. Often, the fridge has coffee (fresh ground and/or Tassimo pod coffee makers), condiments, salad dressings, etc. Feel free to use what's there and leave behind what you don't want to take with you. There are also many books to choose from. Feel free to take what you haven't finished and leave one of your favorites. IMPORTANT: Please plan to BRING A CELL PHONE as there is NO landline phone service, as well as your own beach towels. We have SOME beach chairs but they tend to appear/disappear over time, so best to bring some just in case.

Whether it be for a large family vacation, a multi-family getaway or a romantic weekend, the Guest House with it's own 200 ft. of private beach is a wonderful place to get away from it all! The activities are numerous and all rejuvenating! Start your day with breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake while you plan your day. You may decide to walk the beach, visit the shops or art galleries in South Haven or Douglas/Saugatuk, charter a fishing boat or sailboat, rent Jet Skis, read a book, go fruit-picking at one of the many local orchards, or visit the local Fenn Valley Vineyards. No matter what you do, you will most likely cap off your day watching the postcard sunset over Lake Michigan, then do it all again the next day! You'll forget time and all the stress you left behind! For those who know South Haven, The Guest House is about a half mile west of the DeGrandchamp's Blueberry Farm on Blue Star Hwy. on the south side of town.

Walk the beach about a mile south to the Van Buren State Park Dunes area (or as far as you can go!) The shops in South Haven are a five-minute drive. Saugatuk/Douglas is just 15-20 minutes north on scenic Blue Star Hwy. Golf courses are abundant ranging from local public links courses to world-class championship tracks like Hawks Head in South Haven.
