The south preserve offers hiking/nature trails, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and birdwatching. South Farm is minutes from the crossroads of Glenn, MI, nearby farm stands and breweries, and is only 15 minutes from the large beaches and attractions in South Haven and Saugatuck (Douglas and Fennville too!). The property comes with all the comforts of home, a spacious outdoor patio, fire pit, grille, Level 2 EV charger, yard games, beach wagon and supplies - you'll enjoy relaxing all day long.

Our family had a wonderful time at South Farm! The home had everything we needed and the property was very peaceful. Great location with easy drives to beaches, wineries, and more. Rebecca and Zach were very responsive and excellent hosts. We would love to visit again in the future!
We had an amazing stay at the farmhouse! The place is perfectly set up for a family vacation and the outdoor amenities (fire pit, seating area, grill, swing) were all the highlight of our stay. We especially appreciated the use of towels, tent and beach chairs for our many visits to the local beaches.
We had a wonderful time! The farmhouse was perfect and the space for the young grandchildren to play was just what we needed. We plan on returning next year! The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond.
We had a great time while staying here. The house was lovely, nicely decorated and very clean. The large kitchen was great to do our family meals and it was well stocked. The bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. We also enjoyed the surrounding property. We took advantage of the fire pit and enjoyed the tree swing. It was fun to watch the wildlife in the preserve behind the house. It was easy to check in and check out. We also loved that it was close to lots of things to do in Saugatuck and South Haven.
Very quiet and secluded location. A lot of room for the dogs to roam. At night you felt like the whole area was just for you and your group. Wild life right in the yard. A very short drive to the dog friendly beach. This beach was also quiet, and clean! Again, felt like it was there just for us. We were at other beaches that were packed in the same area, so we just kept going back to this one, even without the dogs. Also about equidistant to either South Haven and Saugatuck and only about 15 minutes to each. Don’t sleep on Douglas. That town made for a nice break from the crowds, even though it’s on a much smaller scale than the other two cities. All in all, a very nice house, great hosts and a really good location. It was a great week!
The house is bigger and better than what we thought. Great central location between Saugatuck and South Haven. It was a great stay enjoyed by young and old alike.
Our stay at South Farm was wonderful. Everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy oneself either alone or en masse. The nearby beaches were beautiful and the neighborhood was as nice as could be. Great kitchen and cookout/eating patio space. Perfect place to get together with family.
We had a wonderful time relaxing in this beautiful home. We cooked, played games and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. The home is located far enough to feel like a get away but close enough to have access to restaurants, breweries and stores.
South Farm is a lovely place to stay. Our family of three generations had a wonderful time enjoying the local towns, the beaches and hiking trails, and sitting around the fire at night. The house accommodated all 11 of us very well. Highly recommend!
We had a great time at South Farm! Everything we could possibly need was provided, the antique charm mingled with the modern conveniences and finishes were exceptional, and the quiet country lane to walk down and view Lake Michigan was a special bonus. This home is lovely, is as you would expect from the pictures, and exceeds expectation. So much to enjoy in the area as well. We would love to come back again!
If youre going to the South Haven/ Sagautuck area with a decent sized group this house is a great fit. Its so cute and in amazing condition. It's out of the way of the bigger cities, which are only like a 15 minute drive away) so its nice and quiet. The hosts were crazy responsive and we'll definitely be booking again if we ever go back!
We really enjoyed everything about South Farm. The spacious kitchen to be able to cook breakfast and the occasional dinner, the outdoor patio, the fire pit, and the location was perfect for walks with the kids and the dogs. We were right in between South Haven and Saugatuck and really didn’t spend more than 20min in the car to get anywhere we were going. Would highly recommend!
We were in the area for a family wedding and this property became the “fall back to” spot for relaxing and socializing with our family and friends. Loved the fire pit and outdoor seating. Quaint farm house.
Beautiful home and location! Very nicely appointed farm house with plenty of room (and some to spare) for 8 of us! Had everything we needed and was exactly as described in the listing. Walked the nearby nature preserve, ate, drank and had a lot of laughs!
