About the host

Hosted by Jill - Owner

Host profile image
I grew up in South Haven and spent my entire childhood just minutes from this home. After attending Michigan State, I moved to Florida, but my heart has always stayed here. My family and closest friends still live in South Haven, and I return with my own family every summer. Hosting this home allows me to share the joy, beauty, and memories of this special town with others. I currently live in Tampa, Florida, but South Haven will always be “home.”

Why they chose this property

I purchased and lovingly renovated this home in 2005 because of its extraordinary character and history. The property is over 100 years old and was originally part of the iconic Grand Hotel overlooking the bluff. The neighborhood offers the perfect blend of charm, walkability, and peaceful views. It’s ideal for gathering family and friends, and the upgraded amenities and open layout were designed specifically for entertaining and creating unforgettable memories.

What makes this property unique

This home stands out with three levels of expansive decks overlooking both the lake and the river — offering rare front-and-back water views and picture-perfect sunsets.

Inside, the open-concept layout is designed for effortless entertaining, featuring an oversized family room with abundant seating for large groups. A spacious third-floor family loft provides another gathering area with stunning panoramic water views — a favorite spot for morning coffee or sunset watching.

Step outside to the huge back deck, complete with a large dining table, plenty of seating, and a cozy fire pit surrounded by chairs and a built-in wrap-around bench. It’s the ultimate space for cookouts, s’mores, gatherings, or simply relaxing under the stars.

With multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, incredible views on every level, and thoughtful touches throughout, this home is perfect for family reunions, multi-family stays, or group getaways.
