Why they chose this property
South Haven is our oasis from the hustle and bustle of our busy Chicago life. We've been renting properties in South Haven for the past 10-years and hope Idlewood Cottage will connect us with our own extended family from Michigan more often. Our hope is Idlewood will inspire you to be a little more 'idle', too.
What makes this property unique
Located near all the best that South Haven has to offer but nestled in a quiet, resort community.
