About this property

Inviting farmhouse for your family getaway, minutes from beaches. Pet friendly!

You'll love staying in the updated, and full of character, South Farm property. The 140-year old home sits on 2 acres that borders nearly 300 acres of the south tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve, and is minutes to nearby beaches including the 1200-ft, dog-friendly beach at the north tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve (just two miles north to the parking lot, then a short nature trail walk). 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. The kids will love the bunk beds and separate upstairs bonus room, equipped with a 50-inch TV ready for streaming and gaming (bring your own system). We love our place and know you will too.

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 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.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family loves exploring the outdoors and having fun. We have used VRBO for many adventures and want to share our property with you.

What makes this property unique

We love our home and know you will too. Bordering a 300-acre nature preserve is very special. We support the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy and all the great work they do, including the Wau-ke-na William Erby Smith Preserve. It's an amazing place to relax, but also be near the great towns of South Haven, Douglas, Saugatuck, and Holland (and more!). We treat our home as if it were our primary residence - someday it will be! This is our only rental property and we love sharing it with guests.
