About this property

2 Blocks to Beach | Block to Kids Park | Fire Pit | Coffee Bar

Welcome to Seasons of South Haven Rentals, where our family LOVES spoiling our guests! We're a family-owned collection of vacation homes designed to feel like a home away from home. We personally design, furnish, and care for each property because we believe the places you stay should be just as memorable as the destination.

✨✨✨Note About Our Historic Cottage: Ashwood is a charming 152 year old cottage. Part of what makes it special is it's historic layout. Please take a moment to review the floor plan including our listing photos before booking. As common with homes of this age storage space is limited and the bunk room is a pass-through loft space located between the upper two bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom is located through the rear bedroom. We hope you love this historical home as much as we do as well as the modern updates!

Our South Haven vacation rental boasts a clean, simple style that will remind you of HGTV, while still preserving the cottage's cozy 152 year old charm! Unwind on the front porch rockers or in front of the living room fireplace. The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with quartz countertops, two full bathrooms with double quartz vanities and custom tiled showers.

The cottage layout includes a downstairs queen bedroom, an upstairs queen bedroom, an upstairs loft twin bunk bed room (located between the two upstairs bedrooms), and an upstairs full bedroom. We've thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable, from kids' toys and books to beach chairs, a cooler bag, and games.

Our location is unbeatable—just two blocks from the beach at the blue stairs, where you can witness stunning Lake Michigan sunsets. We're also a stone's throw from the amazing Kids Corner playground, a short walk to the splash pad, and five to six blocks from downtown. Additionally, we're steps away from the paved Van Buren State Park Trail and a short ride to the Kal-Haven 33.5-mile trail for biking, running, or walking. For unforgettable experiences, consider booking a fishing charter or a sailboat cruise (ask us for a referrals).

Our cottage is open year-round, offering the perfect winter retreat. You can walk, cross-country ski, or snowmobile along the Kal-Haven trail. Downtown offers ice skating in a festive atmosphere, or you can go downhill skiing at Timber Ridge or Bittersweet (35-45 miles away). After exploring, indulge in shopping and dining downtown while taking in the majestic lighthouse in all its winter glory. Then return to the cottage to relax in front of a warm, cozy fire.

The cottage sits on a double lot, featuring a custom brick paver firepit and a grassy area adjacent to a spacious brick patio/driveway. This area is perfect for bonding with family and friends around the fire or enjoying a game of cornhole (boards provided).

About the host

Host profile image
Our family spends a lot of time in South Haven and loves sharing the area with our guests! When we travel we love the experience of staying in a clean, comfortable home with our two children and want you to have the same experience.

We also love to give back! Our family gives to local causes like the South Haven Community foundation for things like scholarships, park improvements and as well as donates our time in the community. Your stay also helps support some wonderful local families and businesses that help us with our homes. Thank you very much for thinking of us for your stay! We love sharing our hospitality with you!

Why they chose this property

We started coming to South Haven when we were dating in 1999. In 2019 after looking in a real estate magazine we found & purchased this 149 year old home. It was a diamond in the rough with no plumbing, no heating & no kitchen. We love South Haven & were so excited to have our own slice of heaven near Lake Michigan! After 14 months non-stop work we had transformed the home into what looks & feels like a brand new cottage. We decided to rent it to pay for the payments on the home & in the process realized we LOVE hosting! There is nothing greater than hearing about how our home brings people together.

What makes this property unique

Our home is designed with you in mind. We love designing a places that feel like home with a simple, timeless style. Our family and the local people that help us take great pride in offering a updated home with great hospitality.
