Beautiful, charming home! Great location- quick walk to beach and church, and easy walk to Main Street. The outdoor fireplace was a bonus, as we love being outside. Great hostess, with lots of extra touches.
Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Ashwood Cottage. The cottage is very clean and comfortable with many updates. We enjoyed the location with short walks to a beautiful beach, park and town. The neighborhood was especially fun with all the families around us also having a happy summer vacation.
We just spent a week in this immaculate house. It is a great location to the beach, the park and the downtown area. It was only a two block walk to see the beautiful sunsets. There is a nice firepit! Carrie was so easy to work with and gave us suggestions on places to eat and things to do. I would highly recommend this house!!
Our hosts were amazing, and the location was perfect for a quick trip out of South Bend! Great town and restaurants. Place was very clean and kitchen was stocked with proper pots and pans. We would visit again!
Had a girls weekend in Southaven and this property was perfect. Very well maintained and clean. Close to Lake Michigan and downtown area. Highly recommended!!
We love this property. We have stayed there twice. So close to the beach and town. The owner is wonderful. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect.

Thank you Cindy! We always love hosting you & your family. Your are welcome back any time!
This home was in a great location. Easy walk to the beach and downtown. The house had plenty of space for our family of four. The bathrooms were beautiful. We also loved sitting by the fire pit in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you very much David! We enjoyed chatting with you & having you stay with us!
We loved our stay here! This house is in the perfect location. So close to the beach, park, restaurants, shopping and bike trails! We walked / rode our bikes everywhere. The layout of the house worked well for our family.
Perfect cottage for girls trip weekend getaway!! Within walking distance to the beach and downtown. House was perfect for the 5 of us, and Carrie was so easy to work with. Highly recommend!
We couldn't have asked for anything more, this house was amazing!! It is beautiful, the location was ideal, and it was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend! Carrie was on top of everything and even sent us ideas of things to do while we were there. We are already planning next years trip!
What a great place to stay for a girls wine tasting trip. The house was spotless and the location was great. Even though the weather was chilly we took our morning walk to the beach everyday! Carrie was great to work with. Can’t wait to go back with my family!

Thank you Julie! We really love providing a place for friends & families to make amazing memories! We agree the walks to the beach are the best! Feel free to come back any time.
This house is in a great location close to the beach, parks and also not far from the main shops in town. We walked pretty much everywhere with our 2 year old. The neighborhood was also very quiet for anyone looking to just get away from the hustle and bustle. Carrie was very responsive and helpful with anything needed, would stay again.
Perfect for an easy family beach getaway. Beach chairs, umbrella and toys were provided. Home was exceptionally clean. Note that if you bring a wagon for the beach, you’ll likely need to drive as there is a full staircase at the beach entrance closest to the home (about 2 blocks).
My husband and I were so pleased with the cleanliness and location of this home! Carrie put so much work into restoring the home, and that’s definitely evident.
We loved walking to town and the beach! So many fun shops and restaurants in South Haven. We can’t wait to go back.
This property was exactly what we were looking for at South Haven. The location was great for the beach and close enough to hit up other points of interest. The floor plans provide a lot of flexibility and recent renovations are holding up nicely. The side yard and well stocked game/toy cabinet were a perfect mix of fun for both young and old. Definitely hope to return at some point!

Why they chose this property
We started coming to South Haven when we were dating in 1999. In 2019 after looking in a real estate magazine we found & purchased this 149 year old home. It was a diamond in the rough with no plumbing, no heating & no kitchen. We love South Haven & were so excited to have our own slice of heaven near Lake Michigan! After 14 months non-stop work we had transformed the home into what looks & feels like a brand new cottage. We decided to rent it to pay for the payments on the home & in the process realized we LOVE hosting! There is nothing greater than hearing about how our home brings people together.
What makes this property unique
Our home is designed with you in mind. We love designing a places that feel like home with a simple, timeless style. Our family and the local people that help us take great pride in offering a updated home with great hospitality.
