The Neighborhood:
Maple Woods Hideaway is tucked away in on a quiet wooded lot near Scott Creek in Lee Township, Michigan. Enjoy all four seasons in peaceful rural Michigan. Summer brings the fun of boating, swimming, picnicking, and relaxing. The autumn colors are spectacular around the lake and in the surrounding area. Spring brings the lovely colors of the flowers and leaves bursting to new life, invigorating your soul and mind after the long winter.

The cottage is 10-15 minutes away from Crane's Orchards and Dutch Farms, famous for delicious pies and fruit picking. On the way to the orchards is the Fennville Winery, offering tours and wine tastings. If you like antiquing, it does not get better than this - there are many antique stores within 20 minutes, either in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas and Saugatuck or along Blue Star Highway. In the summer dune rides are a blast and the South Haven beaches are gorgeous. Go fruit picking for cherries, blueberries, raspberries and apples in nearby orchards. Art galleries in the area offer wonderful selection to take home as souvenirs. Take your canoes and kayaks to different lakes and rivers - but don't forget your paddles and life-jackets!

The home is just over a mile away from Upper Scott Lake, a tranquil 99-acre spring-fed lake, where you will find your own private beach with dock and canoe.

Upper Scott Lake is only 15 minutes from downtown South Haven or Saugatuck, and just 25 minutes from Holland.

Getting Around:
You will definitely need a car to see the best that southwest Michigan has to offer.
