The Space:

Located in a historic part of South Haven, this turn of the century home will accommodate 10 guests in 6 bedrooms with 2 baths, so bring the whole family. You`ll love the authentic details in this beautifully updated home that manages to keep the historic Victorian feel.



The main level offers a fully modern kitchen, dining room, cozy sitting room and TV room with fireplace. You`ll love relaxing in the classic enclosed front porch. The first floor has a full bathroom, plus a Queen bedroom with a fireplace that is great for those who don`t want to manage stairs.



Upstairs you`ll find 5 additional bedrooms with great bed layouts for your whole group, plus another full bathroom.



You`ll spend your time at Driftwood listening to the waves of Lake Michigan from the screened in porch, watching the kids play in the large yard, or taking a short walk up the riverfront to the marina to watch the boats on the Black River or to town for some Sherman`s Ice Cream. The location can`t be beat, just 1 block to South Beach.

Amazing location, loved the yard and fire pit. Plenty of beds and rooms. Only issue was the upstairs shower which didn’t drain, so you had to stand in standing water. But overall it was great and would stay again and recommend!

Wonderful stay

The house was perfect for our 3 families. They had a nice large outside grill and mutiple tables and eating areas. It was so hot we did freeze up the ac but the host was very responsive and even brought over a portable ac unit. Location was amazing! We walked to the beach and downtown every day with fussy toddlers.

Extended Family Vacation

The home met our needs for gathering with and staying with our extended family, it was well supplied and comfortable. The proximity to the beach and the south pier is so easy, and it’s close enough to walk to downtown. Communication with the management company was easy and we were well informed to make the most of our stay!

Very walkable. Plenty of indoor space. Nice size yard for games. This cottage had everything we needed for 3 families with kids of all ages.
