Perfect Girl's weekend!

The property was great! Scenic overlook down the road, clean, updated, comfortable beds, open floor plan and nice outdoor spaces. Wonderful that there are bikes and beach chairs to use to get around! Would definitely go back!

It was perfect

We really enjoyed the location of this property. The house was very nice and the lane was quiet. It had a nice short walk to beautiful view. The owner communicated great. Everything was great. We had no complaints.

Just the right setting

The property is clean and spacious with the feel of being secluded, even from the private road entrance you will feel like your away from everything but yet your just a few minutes from it all. My nephew even proposed to his girlfriend from the deck overlooking the lake just down the lane from the house so beautiful!!

The place was perfect for my husband and I and my daughter and son-in-law and 3 grandkids. There was plenty of room and it was very clean. Probably one of the best stocked places we've ever stayed at. I only wished it hadn't rained because we would have liked to sit outside more but everything was so wet. It was close to the beach with the overlook at the end of the street that we took advantage of for the sunset. Wish we had more time to enjoy it all longer. Bridget was a great host and we will rent from her again.

Quiet Location

Great, quiet location. Large home with open floor plan. 2 large bathrooms. Master shower doesn’t drain well. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating. Wish the lookout had stairs down to water. Highly suggest getting the exterior treated for pests. Spider haven. Definitely recommend for large families.

Thank you for your comments Troy. We strive to let our guests know to reach out to us in case anything needs to be attended to. We do have someone that could have easily fixed the drain, so please dont hesistate to reach out to hosts in the future if there is an issue! Thank you for leaving our cottage in great shape, and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay!

About the host

Hosted by Brigitte Buthman

Host profile image
We started hosting and have now created Sunset Haven Rentals as we have been making memories in South Haven for over 50 years.

Why they chose this property

We love the feel and location of Hidden Oasis. There is plenty of area to entertain inside and everybody gets to have their own space! We love the tree lined street and that we are able to watch the sunset every day from the bluff deck.

What makes this property unique

The house is wonderful as although we are so close to town, we also get to hear the birds and sounds of the lake at the same time. We have plenty of parking on our property which is also a bonus.
