You can have the best of both worlds: a very private little cottage in the woods on the corner of unpaved short roads that dead end into the dunes, nestled in the beautiful critical sand dunes of Lake Michigan; and yet just minutes south from downtown South Haven. It's 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 in the hammock or the canopied wooden glider. You can climb over the unspoiled dunes or take a stroll on the meandering path through the woods around the dunes to get to that unsurpassed view of Lake Michigan where you can walk along the uncrowded, wide sugar sand beach.

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 undeveloped land on the north. Make this year the beginning of your family vacation tradition at this cottage in the woods. Finding petoskey stones along the beach of Lake Michigan is one of our long standing family traditions!

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 third 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 catch together in the yard, walk the beach, hike area nature trails, and whatever else you enjoy. Just imagine the memories!

To the beach!: This is the 4th cottage from the dunes and it takes approximately 4-5 minutes to walk from the cottage to the dune access and then another 3-4 minutes to get through the stunning dune area to the beach. Most of us have to climb, rest, climb, rest, etc. to get to the top of the dunes. The exhilarating 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! It takes about 9-10 minutes from the cottage to walk on the path through the woods around the dunes to get to the beach. The times above are based on my walking and I am 60years old. South Beach is just a few minutes' drive away in town and at Van Buren State Park, which is just down the road, there is a paved path right down to the beach.

Submitted: February 7, 2013 Stayed: September 2012
My six daughters brought me down here to celebrate my 85th birthday. They came from Mich., Indiana & California. We had a wonderful time & enjoyed your home. The high point of the week end was the sunset trip on 'Friends Good Will'. Had lots of good food, fun games & lots of visiting.

Tons of Blueberries!

Submitted: February 7, 2013 Stayed: August 2012
Thanks for sharing your vacation home with our family! We enjoyed hiking down to the beach, swimming, collecting cool rocks and running down dunes. It was nice to be close to South Haven and DeGrandChamps where we picked tons of blueberries. We like having dinners and playing games in the summer house.
Thanks!

Lovely, Well Located and Kid Friendly!

Submitted: February 7, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
What a lovely, well located and kid friendly vacation home! I say 'home' because by the end of the week that is what our kids were callling it. We really enjoyed the walks to the beach and just being able to walk to the dunes in the evening to play. Being so close to the park was nice too. They have a great public beach with nice public facilities.
In short we had a wonderful time and hope to return in the future!
p.s. whoever laid out the house did a really good job, all the rooms flow together nicely.
