Our well appointed 4000 sq.ft. home has the Sun, Fun, Space and Location to offer you Paradise!!

This super clean and modern home has it all...space for everyone, huge concrete driveway far off the road. Great for kids! A beautiful view. Comfortable furniture, 8 separate bedrooms, 4 full baths!!
The Main Level of our home has 3 guest bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms AND the beautiful and spacious master bedroom is its own suite with huge walk-in shower and 2 separate sinks. In 2024 we’ve added a twin size bed in the very big walk-in closet. And a desk for anyone who needs privacy for at home work.
In the sunroom, which has all blackout curtains, is a sofa bed with new queen size mattress.

In 2024, we’ve added another bedroom overlooking the ravine and fire pit, with a queen size bed.
The open concept of the main living area allows the kitchen to be the heart of the home and an easy gathering spot for all.

The kitchen has an Instant pot, air fryer, tabletop s’mores maker, salad spinner, 2 waffle makers, pizza stone, 3 crock pots, electric roasting pan, blender and so much more! And it’s all labeled so you don’t have to spend time looking all over for what you need! 2 full size refrigerators and 2 microwaves and a 4 burner gas stove and oven. Dishwasher and we supply the detergent! Coffee pots, we supply the filters, 1 Kuerig coffee pot, bring k-cups, 2 toasters. 3 electric griddles. Plenty of coffee mugs and drinking glasses and plastic ware for children. Lots of mixing bowls and pots and pans. If there’s something you need, call me, I may have it in my kitchen for you to use!

Large granite counter tops and lots of cabinets give you room for all your goodies. There's bar top seating for 6 and a large dining table with seating for 16.
When it’s time to relax, stretch out on the comfy sectional. Watch a movie or stream on the large 60” flat screen television with Midwest Fiber Optic as our cable provider.

A dvd player. Bring your favorite dvd's.

WI-FI IS AVAILABLE.

Additional hang-out area includes large sunroom open to the main living room, it has huge windows overlooking the secluded back yard and cozy furniture which includes 2 couches, 2 love seats, 2 chairs, a secluded large ottoman for a smaller person to nap on, lamps for reading and end tables to place your drinks,and a large round table with four chairs for puzzles and games.

There’s a separate laundry room and we supply detergent, dryer sheets and Shout. Ironing board and iron. Broom and dustpan and a Miele canister vacuum.

You don’t have to wash any sheets because they are done professionally for us. We just ask that most of the towels are washed and dried before leaving.

The lower level: Full bath with stand up shower, vanity and toilet. Two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one with a queen bed! An attached Billiards room with a professional size table. This is also used as a bedroom, has sliding glass doors overlooking the fire pit. It has two twin beds. An adjoining extra large room with a 60” flat screen television has sliding glass doors for use as an exit also. This huge room has 5 full beds. And a twin bed.

In 2024 we’ve put in a queen size bed in a room outside the 2 bedrooms in lower level. This area used to be a kitchen but is no longer used as such. It has doors that closes it off from other areas.

Two air hockey games, smaller ping pong table and a foosball table are located on a cement slab outside the sliding glass doors. Outside the main level door is a deck with comfortable furniture and a table and chairs. We’ve put up curtains to help keep the sun from beating down on you in the evening. We have two large 8' picnic tables with table covers. Two gas grills (we supply the propane tanks)a charcoal grill and a Blackstone griddle! And our custom built slate stone fire pit, complete with sturdy log benches and chairs with cushions for those with bad backs! We supply your firewood and premium marshmallow sticks! Don’t forget the marshmallows! You can’t have a camp fire without those!
Huge concrete driveway far from the road is a great place for kids to ride bikes, scooters and skateboards, all provided. And the driveway parks lots of cars. There is also a basketball hoop set up for playing on the cement drive. We have balls for all sports requiring them at our place. The grassy yard has three swing sets, merry-go-round and tetherball and room to play just about any yard game you can think of!

Volleyball net stays set-up all season.

We have a collapsible badminton set, horseshoes and 2 sets of corn hole with tossing bags.
In 2023 we’ve added a tent that stays set up with luxury cots for 6. Anyone that would love to see what it’s like to go camping can give it a try here! Only room inside for sleeping.
We have a beautiful ravine that is now cleaned up, thanks Jim, and is awesome for walking in and there’s a picnic table to use and a few chairs. Sometimes our little creek has water flowing through it. We think you’ll love this added space.
We also offer two really big lily pads to take to the beach, if someone in your group has a truck or a van! Google: beach lily pads, they’re awesome!

Amazing house for a group
We had a great weekend celebrating a deployment homecoming and graduations! We had 16 people and the house had plenty of room for everyone to comfortably sleep and hang out. Jim and Lynette have stocked the house with everything you may need and have clearly labeled everything. They are also very communicative! The house is in a great location with activities for everyone within 10 miles. I highly recommend this property!

Generations of ❤️
We spent a week with our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren here at Lynette’s Landing. It was glorious! We enjoyed all the amenities of the property, including the fire pit, basketball court, volleyball, bicycles toys, and the extremely large kitchen… able to feed our big family. We also enjoyed being able to go off adventures to the lake and in South Haven. It was a wonderful experience. Jim and Lynette were wonderful hosts. They responded quickly to any question or need we had. We really appreciated their thoughtfulness.

Great stay in South Haven...not too far from the beach!
Our group had a great stay at Jim and Lynette's place in the woods. It is very close to the Kal Haven Trail, Sherman's ice cream, and Three Blondes Brewing...all of which we enjoyed several times during our stay. While the drive to the beach might be a bit longer by 2-3 minutes, the quiet, wooded house, packed with games, toys, and seating for plenty made it well worth it. Jim and Lynette are both attentive and kind hosts, responding quickly to questions about hot water and getting a replacement remote for the second TV. Our crew likes to cook and we could hardly miss with a well stocked kitchen, plenty of room to all work at the same time, and multiple grills! Thanks for a great stay! Looking forward to the next time!

Amenities Galore
This property has just about every amenity required. The property is listed as sleeping 30 and the owners have made sure to provide enough of everything to accommodate 30. The property, and its location, is perfect to be close to vineyards, South Haven, and the highway but also private. The owner's communication was also excellent.

Our group of 17 adults and 4 kids stayed very comfortably in this rental. It was clean and well stocked with almost everything we needed. Our host was very accommodating and we were impressed that she stopped in to introduce herself and to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!1

Amazing home for extended family vacation
This home was perfect for our extended family vacation. We had plenty of space for all 5 nuclear families (10 adults and 7 kids ranging from age 1-14) The older kids loved sleeping in the open basement area. The large kitchen was easy to navigate with all the drawers and cabinets labeled. We enjoyed the peaceful location, and the kids played a ton in the large yard and expansive driveway. If we ever get a large group together in South Haven again, this will be the house we book!

As a first timer using Vrbo on a vacation plan, our experienced was excellent, very organized placed, very clean, anything you need was accesible although we brought with us all what we need. A place where kids will enjoy with all the amenities. Surely, we’ll come back some other time. Lastly, the owner was so nice, so accommodating..

Great location and great host
The location can't be beat. It's closer to downtown. The house had all the amenities that we needed (plus more). The play area for kids is more than a park, they were well entertained. Lynette was an awesome host. She made sure that we had everything we needed and she was always a text away. Definitely recommend for big groups.

Celebrating Mom's birthday
This home was amazing! It was so well stocked with anything we could have needed and very clean. There was plenty of space for us all to sit together or to spread out. We loved sitting out by the fire, playing pool and air hockey, and visiting downtown South Haven. This home gave us a chance to get our whole family together to celebrate my MIL's 80th birthday! We were all so happy to find a home large enough for all of us! Thank you so much!

We had such a wonderful time staying at Lynette and Jim's place! The house was perfect for our family trip! This was our Christmas gift to our kids and grandchildren and they said it was the best gift ever! So much room inside and out and TONS to do! Everything we needed to have our family olympics! So grateful for the laughs and memories at this beautiful place ♥️ Lynette is a sweetheart and made sure we had everything we could possibly need.

Great big house for family get togethers in South Haven
We rented this property for a family reunion (about 16 people) after COVID, and it was wonderfully well-equipped and set up for a mix of kids, teens, and adults. Lynette and Jim provide *everything* a big group could need. It's hands-down the best equipped VRBO I've ever stayed at, with all the kitchen appliances (including 3 coffee makers and two toasters!), a ton of bikes, scooters, outdoor and indoor games, a (non-kid friendly because it's too nice) pool table, fire pit, foosball... you name it, this house has it. Highly recommended for large family get-togethers. Note that it's not a party house; the neighbors -- while not very close -- do expect it to be quiet after 10pm and the house is too clean and nice for a raging kegger type party.
