Perfect getaway on Lake Michigan

Had a girls getaway long weekend at the Country Manor and had a great experience. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean. The communication from the host was spot on. There is plenty of room for a dozen people to stay comfortably. I would definitely rent this place again!

Great Family Vacation

This home provides ample room for four generations to enjoy quality time together. The location is on a quiet road in the country, yet it is an easy drive to several towns for activities. The view of Lake Michigan after a short walk is fantastic—amazing sunsets! The owners of the property are also very accommodating. All in all, this was a perfect family getaway.

Excellent Stay!

We were in town for our niece’s wedding in South Haven. The spacious house was perfect for our family to gather, stay and host dinners for a few out of town friends and family. Kitchen was well stocked, rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Cindy, the owner, was amazing and always prompt in answering any questions. We highly recommend the country manor!

Beautiful Beach House

We loved our stay at the Country Manor of Glenn! It's a large beach house steps from the beach. It has plenty of yard space to grill, play games, etc. There is a basketball court on the premise. And, the view before you take the stairs to the beach is splendid. I will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house by the lake!

I couldn't be happier with our stay! The house was clean, inviting and absolutely charming! My friends and I had the best time enjoying the house and spent so much time in the large kitchen area talking, cooking, playing games and having "family" dinners. Each bedroom was thoughtfully decorated, warm and inviting. The owner of the house was gracious, kind and very responsive. We loved staying here!

Excellent stay in a lovely home

My friends and I have been coming to this property for years and we always enjoy it. The owners recently installed new stairs leading to the beach. They went from a classic cottage wooden staircase to a clean sturdy aluminum staircase; it was a nice upgrade. Thanks Again!

Great sunsets and great hosts

House is big n adequate and more than met our needs and expectations. All the utilities worked fine for us. Except for bird songs the neighborhood is was remarkably quiet, hosts were promptly and good naturedly responsive to our questions and our needs. The amount of kitchen utensils, tools and pots n pans is abundant. We throughly enjoyed our stay and give it our best recommendation!

Best place ever!

We had so much fun staying at the house. It was in such a nice location and the beach access was so wonderful. Cindy and her family were such kind and gracious hosts. We ran into an issue with the hot water at the house and they were over within minutes to check out the heater and had it replaced the next morning. The beach and sunsets were incredible, but the hosts made the stay the best. They let us sit up on the bluff and watch the sunset every night. Just spectacular. We already can’t wait to come back.

Perfect gathering place for “old friends”

We were a group of 6 friends who went to school together since 1st grade, all turning 75 this year, and this comfy older cottage was perfect for us. With 2 bedrooms & a bath on the main floor & 3 more bedrooms & a full bath upstairs, we could make sure everyone’s mobility needs could be accommodated. A large living room with lots of comfy seating, a wonderful kitchen table for meals, & a great table on the porch for cards made this a perfect place for us. Location is fantastic & Cindy was a terrific host who helped us feel right at home. We all loved being together here where we felt so at home!

Aug 2020 Family Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay!! Communication with the owner was friendly and efficient. It's a great house with more than enough room for our group of 9, plenty of outdoor space to play yard games, and a fire pit for relaxing. The walk to the beach was made easier with wagons (one provided by the homeowner, one we brought ourselves) to pull our chairs/coolers/etc. down the wooded path. The only negative we experienced was that the stairs to get up/down to the beach area were dangerous and in need of repair in several spots.

OUTSTANDING!!!

Our host Cindy and her family were very gracious and accommodating. When we first met her when we arrived, Cindy filled us in about the house and property , and how to leverage all the great amenities that came with the rental. From the beach access and robust fire pit, our clan had many great hours of swimming, exercising and chatting fireside till the wee hours of the morning. We will be back ,

relaxing hangout

The women in my family stayed here for a long weekend getaway. We loved the privacy and coziness of the house. We had plenty of room, both to gather as a group and to find places of our own when we needed a few minutes to ourselves. When we texted or called Cindy with questions, she answered immediately. I was worried about the stairs to the beach--I knew the grandmas in the group probably wouldn't be able to handle them. But there are five Adirondack chairs at the top of the stairs with a lovely view. While the younger women in the group enjoyed the beach, the older women hung out in the chairs and enjoyed the water from there. We would definitely recommend the Country Manor.

Spacious and a little aged

This is a nice location on Lake Michigan, although beach access is 100+ yards on a nice wooded trail. The beach steps are on another family property so, although they are very accommodating folks, this is not the private beach access I had expected. The house is old as are a lot of the furnishings and decor. Not a big deal for us and fairly represented on the photos. The bathroom door doesn't lock - seems like that would be an easy fix to change the door knob. The house easily accommodated our large group with large living spaces and a large dining table. The WiFi is DSL and was very unreliable. Cellular service from 3 providers was spotty upstairs and unreliable downstairs - consider yourself mostly off the grid at this property. Cindy is lovely and left us to ourselves. Access to South Haven and Saugatuck is fantastic.

Older house, great location

The house is a great location and price. Pros: Close to the beach House is big Cute town Owner is communicative Fire pit, great grill Cute front and back porches Cons/tips: The upstairs is very hot because the house is old and the AC doesn’t work up there very well There is a bit of a walk to the beach and the stairs are steep - there are over 90!! The house is dated There is not much in the house - no towels, coffee, spices, paper towels, etc. Not a huge issue but plan accordingly! Some of the beds were uncomfortable and most are full sized not queen Check for ticks! We got tons sitting outside it’s the woods. The WiFi barely works and you will not get service out there. No washer and dryer you have to go into town that was unclear from the listing. Overall we loved our stay! Affordable but there were some accommodations we had to make to be comfortable. Would stay again!

Family vac at the Manor

Three generations of my family spent a great week there. Sleeping arrangements worked well for the diverse group and the variety of living spaces allowed for both “all hands” gatherings and separate spaces where people could gather in smaller groups. Kitchen was well supplied with cooking and eating utensils. The secluded location afforded ample privacy while having easy access to bars and restaurants in South Haven and Saugatuck. Great area for joggers and bicyclists. Nearby general store small but stocked with all essentials. Only negative was no washer and dryer, and no nearby laundromat. Owners were very welcoming and seemed happy to have guests

Quaint with nice private beach

The house is great, the location is great (minutes from Saugatuck), private beach is great. The only reason I give this less than 5 stars is that there should be a warning in all caps about the stairs down to the beach. The stairs are NOT user friendly. There are 90 steps; no landings and they are in BAD shape. Many of the treads don't even look like they're connected and several of the stairs are at a drastic slope. I would not recommend them for smaller children, older folks, or anyone with any kind of physical challenges.
