Secluded Unique Charm on the Lake. Sunset Views. Hot Tub.

Welcome to your home away from home! Located on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, this home has lots to offer. The 1970s Chalet style home is custom built with cedar finishes both inside and out! The cathedral ceilings, cherry kitchen cabinets, granite counters, and hardwood floors make this home cozy and appealing to all. Enjoy panoramic lake views and endless sunsets on the huge wrap-around porch made with composite decking or by a fire under the stars! Don't miss your chance to stay at this little piece of heaven!

The Secluded Cottage is a short 6-minute drive to the south or north beach and downtown with great shopping and restaurants. Experience the fresh farmers market on Saturday mornings, shop the unique boutiques and beach stores, eat great food at a variety of locations, or watch movies at the charming town theater.

The cottage will sleep, 6 people.

Master Loft Suite: Located on the top floor, king-size bed, loft-style, overlooking the downstairs with a view of the water. Private bathroom with a stand-up shower. A small sitting area upstairs includes a futon that can fold down to become a small bonus bed as well.

2nd bedroom: Located on the main floor, queen-size bed.

The living room provides additional sleeping accommodations with a sleeper sofa.

Enjoy your morning coffee or grill dinner looking out over the vast views of Lake Michigan, watch an amazing sunset, hot tub on the wrap-around porch, or enjoy wine with friends and family in front of fire steps away from the porch.

If you are ok with unplugging, due to the remote area and limited phone signal, and unreliable WiFi, this place is for you!

We look forward to hosting you and providing an opportunity for lifelong memories!

P.S. Due to the erosion, there is no access to the lakeshore from the home.

Gorgeous view from a cozy cabin
4.5 Stars Overall. This is a unique property with unparalleled views of Lake Michigan. The hot tub in the woods with total privacy was an incredible experience. The cabin was impeccably clean, had an adorable decor, and is in a great location with easy access to downtown South Haven, as well as other fun spots such as Crane's and Virtue Cider. Candice was a very thoughtful host and she even procured a baby gate so that we could feel safer bringing our infant with us. I would say downsides to the cabin are the showers (very narrow, and the non-adjustable shower head made for an awkward bathing experience), the upstairs lighting and fan remote control situation was confusing and also some of the light fixtures appeared to be broken. If you are a larger person (as is my husband), you probably won't find the cottage very comfortable, as the passageways are narrow and if you're tall you might hit your head sitting up in the bed upstairs with the slanted ceiling. As an average sized person I thought it was fine, but our advice is if you are "Big and Tall" this might not be the best fit (no pun intended). Another downside is the lack of wi-fi and cell phone service. Candice does make this clear on the property description, but I can vouch that we barely had service the whole time we were there, and had to walk to the end of the driveway just to make a call or Google anything. But if you're looking for a romantic getaway and willing to unplug, it is perfect.

Cozy cottage
This is our second time staying at this cozy lakefront cottage, and we loved it just as much as the first time! The wraparound porch and the view is everything!!! We did not want to leave! There is lots to do in the area, with cute towns like South Haven and Saugatuck, but we were most content just hanging out on the porch and taking in the amazing view! We will be back again next year.

A wonderful find!
My 3 sisters and I just spent 5 nights together at this lovely property and it could not have been more perfect. Peaceful, quiet, and perfectly appointed, it had everything we needed and more. The views of the lake every morning and the sunsets every evening were priceless. Thank you for making this an unforgettable sister trip, one that we’d like to repeat over and over.

Enjoyed the peace and relaxation of watching the lake and sunsets! Even in the rain it was beautiful. The seclusion of the property was nice, especially with the hot tub. Appreciated the cleanliness of the house. Only sad part was that there were no stairs to the beach.

Charming house with a view
We stayed in this charming beach house for 3 nights on our way to the Catskills for a wedding. The view was spectacular and the house was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The big deck is equipped with a few rocking chairs - a great perch to have a glass of wine and enjoy the amazing sunsets. The surrounding towns - south Haven and Douglas - are fun the explore.

Magical Spot on Lake Michigan
What a truly unique and beautiful spot to celebrate our anniversary. The views are some of the best I have seen - sunsets, seclusion, lake breeze, sound of the waves, with beautiful forest as well. The house itself is just perfectly different, comfy, very clean, and yes sort of magical. Very charming. The wrap around deck and hot tub with views are fabulous. Very easy to locate, close to South Haven and other nearby beach towns. We enjoyed perch at Captain Lou’s on the river, but otherwise didn’t want to leave this house! Candice is very nice/easy to communicate with. The perfect place to relax and unwind. Blessed to have found this slice of heaven in Michigan.

Adorable, Quaint picturesque Cottage
We all loved the cottage and the decor. It had nice modern touches but kept the feel of a cozy, little cottage. The sunset views were amazing. It was secluded enough that we weren’t bothered, but close enough to downtown South Haven that we could still go out to eat or head to the beach. We all said we would come back to this place again.

Beautiful Location
Over all we had a great time and would recommend it to anyone looking to truly unplug. More than 4 adults would be tight. Take DVD's if you want to watch movies due to the unreliable internet connection for the Roku TV. Pros: Beautiful views, very clean, relaxing, close to many restaurants, beaches and other activities. Cons: No Internet access 75-80% of the time. No cell phone signal 75-80% of the time. (it was hard to find restaurants, info etc. until you were on the main road driving away) No lake access. No washer and Dryer
