Photos and Description of the South Haven vacation cottage rental

You can have the best of both worlds: a very private little cottage and guesthouse in the small, wooded community of unpaved roads that all dead end into the dunes, nestled in the beautiful critical sand dunes of Lake Michigan; and yet just minutes south from downtown South Haven. An acre all to yourself, a quiet place where families and husbands and wives can unwind from over-busy schedules, reconnect with each other, read stories together, roast marshmallows or pop popcorn over the campfire, or just swing or snooze in the hammock. You can climb over the unspoiled dunes or walk on a path through the woods (there are 56 steps involved on this path, we are working on an alternative to the steps) to get to that unsurpassed view of Lake Michigan where you can walk along the uncrowded, wide sugar sand beach.

Location

Nearest airport:   Regional Airport at 2 Miles
Car: recommended

The town of South Haven is just minutes away, a great bike ride. There you will find many more people, the blue stairway to South Beach, the lighthouse, concessions, and the wonderful riverwalk along the channel, a great spot to sit with an ice cream cone and watch all the different kinds of boats coming and going. The downtown area has plenty of shopping opportunities, delicious restaurants, a bakery that can't be beat and a seasonal Farmer's Market which overflows with fresh local produce and flowers. The Good Ship is docked at the Maritime Museum and can be booked for sailings, jet ski, canoe and kayak rentals can also be found downtown. The Kal-Haven trailhead begins in South Haven and the Black River is ready for canoe and kayak use.

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

Seasons by the Lake: Available all year long, experience all kinds of water activities in the summer, crisp fresh air and colorful leaves in the fall, sledding down the dunes in the winter (which can be breathtaking), wildflowers and delicate new leaves unfolding in the spring, and, of course, the Lake Michigan sunsets which are painted uniquely each evening, no matter which season you are at the cottage. You won't be the same when you go home from this quiet, uncrowded and peaceful place. The cottage is situated in a small community bordered on the south by a state park and actually backs up to undeveloped land on the north. Make this year the beginning of your family vacation tradition at this cottage in the woods.

Life along Lake Michigan-unforgettable experience: To have an opportunity to actually live amongst those pristine sand dunes along the Lake is beyond comparison with in-town rentals. This is the second year this rental property has been offered, so don't wait too long to make your plans to spend a week or more in the summer or even just a couple of days in the other seasons. Your time here can make a world of difference when you go back home to your everyday life. We are sure you will want to come back year after year to climb those magnificent dunes, roast marshmallows over the fire in the fire pit, play hide and seek in the woods, walk the beach, hike area nature trails, and whatever else you enjoy. Just imagine the memories! Our other cottage in this same neighborhood is Home Away #180307. They are about a 3 minute walk from each other. For larger groups, rent both cottages - together, they sleep 16-20. What fun that would be!!

The hike to the beach!: This is the 3rd cottage from the dunes and it takes approcimate 6-7 minutes to get through the stunning dune area to the beach. Our guests, from very young children to those in their sixties and some beyond, have had a rich and delightful experience at our cottages. Most of us have to climb, rest, climb, rest, etc. to get to the top of the dunes. The exhilerating effort involved is well worth it once you get to the top, see the magnificent view and then get to go down the other side! However, the dune climb may not be for everybody - keep that in mind as you plan your stay. For those unable to make the climb or use the steps to go through the woods to get to the beach, South Beach is just a few minutes' drive away in town. Visit us at flipfloprentals.com for more pictures of the area.

Other Activities: Bowling, miniature golf
