Full Property Details:
The home is approached by a half-circle driveway, welcoming you to classic countryside charm. The red barns, while not guest-use spaces, are a beautiful feature of the property and add timeless character to your stay. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the outdoors at the picnic table overlooking
the meadow, perfect for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or quiet reflection.

You can also enjoy summer fun at the Van Buren County Fair, just 4 minutes from the house. Farmers markets, seasonal events, and charming small towns are all close by.

For lake lovers, South Haven and the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan are just a short drive away, making this farmhouse a perfect home base for swimming, sunsets, dining, and exploring southwest Michigan.

Beautiful home that lives up to its description and more. The house was incredibly clean and nicely appointed. There is a coffee set up that rivals a coffee house, and the kitchen had all that we needed. The beds were comfy and the rooms a good size for a turn of the century home. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoors much as we were in the area for a family get together, but the barn and lawn chairs were truly inviting.
