About this property
Fall Retreat | Hot Tub, Games & Wine Country
Fall feels different here. The woods turn gold around the house. The air gets crisp. Wineries and orchards are at their best. The hot tub feels a little more indulgent, the fireplace gets harder to leave, and somehow everyone finally slows down. Tucked into more than two private wooded acres between South Haven, Saugatuck and Michigan wine country, Chillin Away was designed for the kind of weekend you wish lasted longer.
Start the morning with coffee around the oversized kitchen island before heading out for wine tasting, apple picking, a walk along Lake Michigan or an afternoon exploring Saugatuck.
Then come home.
Slip into the hot tub beneath the trees. Let the kids disappear into the game room. Pour a glass of wine by the fireplace. Gather around the fire pit as the woods go quiet.
This is a home made for staying in almost as much as going out.
And when the holidays arrive, Chillin Away becomes an easy place to bring everyone together.
Three king suites give couples and grandparents real privacy. The custom bunk room becomes headquarters for the kids. The 10-foot kitchen island becomes the place for Thanksgiving prep, Christmas breakfast, cocktails, cookies and conversations that somehow go late into the night.
There is room to spread out—but the house keeps drawing everyone back together.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS • 3 king suites with premium 100% cotton linens • Custom bunk room with 4 full-size beds • Sleeps up to 12 • 3.5 bathrooms • Two king suites include ensuite baths with double vanities
INSIDE • Chef's kitchen with 10-foot island • Quartz counters and quality appliances • Coffee bar + wine fridge • Gas fireplace October–April • Smart TVs • Game room with 2 arcades + shuffleboard • Board games and children's items • High chair + Pack 'n Play • Cotton candy, popcorn and snow-cone makers
OUTSIDE • Year-round hot tub overlooking the woods • Private heated pool in season (open May till October weather permitting) • Fire pit • Covered outdoor dining • Hammock • Cornhole • Swing • More than 2 wooded acres
In summer, the pool may steal the show.
But fall and the holidays might be when this house feels most like home.
Come for the wineries, fall color, Lake Michigan and charming small towns.
Stay for the hot tub nights, games, fires and the rare chance to have everyone together under one roof.

It’s not often that you sleep as comfortably on vacation as you do at home, but the beds here were so comfortable! We loved the location—it was incredibly easy to get to both South Haven and Saugatuck. The home itself was beautiful, comfortable, and had such a relaxing feel. The owners were wonderful and incredibly responsive anytime we had a question. We had such a great stay and would absolutely recommend this home!
Beautiful home and awesome experience overall! Everything was meticulous and stocked well. The beds were comfortable and clean. We travelled with another family and there was more than enough space to make everyone comfortable. The kids absolutely loved the games room downstairs, the pool and hot tub. The host Ana was very prompt with responses. Highly recommend!
We loved our Chillin Away vacation. The property was perfect for our family - 6 adults and 4 children. Each couple had their own master suite and the kids were thrilled with the bunk room. We loved the pool, hot tub, and fire pit and the proximity to South Haven, Saugatuck, and Holland. There are endless things to do and many restaurants in this area. It could not have been better.
Everything you could ask for in a vacation home. Very clean and fresh, very well equipped

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you found the home clean, fresh, and well-equipped. It means a lot to hear it had everything you were looking for in a vacation stay!
This is a top notch property! The high-end decor, spotless cleanliness and attention to every detail made it the perfect luxury getaway for my women’s retreat. The deer even visited us during our morning coffee! Ana was extremely prompt and helpful and sweet. Honestly, I am not sure any other property will ever top this one!
This home exceeded our expectations, perfect for a family getaway.

Exactly what vacation should be
This was a perfect house and perfect hosts. Actually felt like vacation. Every amenity you could want. Clean, though out, stocked, new, the list goes on. It was a great trip for our family with young kids and our parents, covering all age groups.
We had a wonderful weekend! The home is so beautiful and had everything you needed to have a great vacation. We will definitely be renting this home again!

We had the perfect girls weekend. The house was cozy, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal, with a quick drive to multiple charming towns for shopping, dining, and exploring.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to nearby attractions!

If your future travels bring you back to the area, we would be delighted to welcome you once again. Glad to know that the refreshing swim added an extra touch of enjoyment to your stay.
We had a wonderful time at this property. Our kids loved the pool, the firepit, and the game room in the basement. The furnishings throughout the home are top notch. My mom loved cooking for her grandchildren in the designer kitchen. It’s an easy drive to the beach, great shopping, and nice restaurants. Great spot for your next vacation!!

We loved this property. The house was beautiful and had everything you could want. The pool and hottub were our favorite parts. The grandchildren loved making cotton candy, ice cones and s'mores by the fire. It was so quiet and peaceful and we loved watching the deer everyday

It was wonderful to host you and your friends. Thanks for staying with us and hope to see you back soon!
Can't say enough about the wonderful experience at Chillin Away. The house itself was not only gorgeous but everything was so well thought out, from the design of the home to the smallest of details (i.e. s'mores pack set up for you in case you wanted to do a fire). And the host was incredibly thoughtful, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 recommend, would book again!

We had 11 girls and this place was AMAZING! From the beautiful drive back to the house, the curb appeal, the walk into the front door, the pool, backyard and hot tub! Everything was so much more than we were expecting! The place was so clean and well cared for! We had everything we needed for our weekend and so much more! The hosts are amazing to communicate with and responded to my questions so quickly! Book this place! You won’t regret it!

Awesome!!!!
We rent a house every summer, and this is one of the nicest we’ve ever experienced! The setting is perfect, everything is so new and high-quality, and the process was smooth. We had a wonderful week with our seven kids in this beautiful property, and we are heading home with grateful hearts and sweet memories!

Anne, it was wonderful to host you and your family. Thanks for taking good care of our home and being such great guests. Hope we get to host you again. Enjoy the rest of the Summer.
The home, interior design, and details were the best I've experienced! So often rental properties are somewhat cheaply curated, though you may not notice through pictures alone. This space was the complete opposite - it was truly a couple days in luxury. Everything was modern, CLEAN, and well-functioning. I would happily stay there again and again!

About the host
Hosted by Ana
We're a family of travelers who created Chillin Away around something we value in our own trips: beautiful places that make it easy to reconnect. My husband and I met while traveling, and we've made travel an important part of our family life ever since. We understand how much anticipation goes into planning a getaway, which is why we pay close attention to comfort, thoughtful details and creating spaces where guests can simply relax and enjoy one another. We're always happy to help with recommendations for wineries, restaurants, beaches, orchards and seasonal experiences throughout Southwest Michigan.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to create something difficult to find near Lake Michigan: a home where a larger group could enjoy privacy, comfort and resort-style amenities without being packed into a busy neighborhood. Chillin Away sits on more than two wooded acres while still keeping guests within easy reach of South Haven, Saugatuck, beaches, wineries and orchards. Three king suites make it especially comfortable for adults traveling together, while the bunk room, game room and outdoor spaces give kids and teens areas of their own. In fall and winter, the experience becomes especially cozy—wine country, colorful drives, fireplace evenings, hot-tub nights and long meals around the kitchen island.
What makes this property unique
More than 2 private wooded acres • 3 true king suites • Custom bunk room with 4 full beds • Year-round hot tub • Seasonal private heated pool • Gas fireplace October–April • Game room with arcades + shuffleboard • Chef's kitchen with 10-foot gathering island • Fire pit + covered outdoor dining • Close to South Haven + Saugatuck • Near wineries, breweries and orchards • Sleeps up to 12
