Location: South Haven, Southwest, Michigan, USA (Located a few miles from city center and Lake Michigan)
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 14-18)
Spacious ranch-style, non-smoking home nestled among ten acres of prairie and woods in a rural area. Available for year-round rental. Quiet and private.
Good place for slowing down from fast-paced, busy life. Re-engage with family in comfortable, peaceful environment. Meditate in the easy, relaxed setting. Lots of trees and birds to watch from the hammock.
In the summer, play in the spacious yard, walk the two labyrinths (classic and chartes) or take a swim in the private fenced-in pool. The in-ground seasonal pool is 20 foot by 40 foot, and the pool house has a half-bath within it.
There are wonderful open spaces for kites, volleyball, croquet, picnicking. In the evening, curl up around a fire at the outdoor fire pit.
In cooler weather, go apple-picking at one of the local orchards or take a stroll or bike ride down the Kal-Haven trail, just minutes away.
On rainy days, kids can play in the great room on the lower level or watch a video. During the winter, cross-country skiing and sledding are nearby or build a snowfamily right outside the door.
Cook in the roomy kitchen, barbecue outside or go out to some of the fantastic South Haven restaurants. The dining area can seat 16, plus there are four counter stools, if needed. The yard is equipped with picnic tables and patio tables and chairs for eating outdoors.
This is a place that your family will remember. Kids can play on the swingset, wander through the prairies, run about and explore. There is plenty to do, yet it is outside of the congestion of South Haven.
The town is just a few minutes’ drive and you can choose to whether to go into town for shopping and entertainment, or stay secluded on the lush private grounds.

The Unique Benefits of this House
Our kids love the vast expanses of space to roam around, play freely and explore nature. Of course, they love the pool during the warm weather and can spend hours entertaining themselves. We love the quietness, the tree frogs, and the multitude of stars we can see at night.
