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.

This farmhouse was more than we expected. The pictures on the website are accurate and very welcoming. The home was well equipped for all. There was even a pantry of extras from previous families. When a problem did arise it was quickly acknowledged and taken care of. We were a party of older women but it was full of entertainment for children as well. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking to be in a peaceful setting and yet very close to all that Michigan has to offer. Host and hostess very thoughtful. Thank you!!!

Super cute farm house

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!

Great weekend get-away!

We had a great stay in this clean, comfortable, well-equipped farmhouse! Plenty of space for our family to spread out or be together, comfortable beds and had everything needed to cook some great meals. Quiet and peaceful location with great views and loved watching the deer graze in the backyard every day. Would definitely return!

Fabulous weekend visit

We just wrapped up a wonderful short stay at South Farm! The private and serene setting was a welcome escape from the bustle of Saugatuck and our wedding festivities. The kitchen was spacious and stocked with everything anyone could need and the outdoor space was comfortable. The bedrooms layout was perfect for our group size and the beds were exceptionally comfortable (especially the king room). We’ll be thrilled if we get the opportunity to visit South Farm again in the future. Thank you Zach and Rebecca for sharing your special home for our special weekend!

Farmhouse stay

This older farmhouse sits on an incredible piece of property, heavily treed with a plentiful and species variety of large, mature trees. We saw our share of deer, wild turkeys, chipmunks and lightning-fast red squirrels. We also enjoyed using the direct access trail to the nature preserve. It was a fun experience. Thank you.

fabulous and quaint

Our family retreat included four generations from Grandma 89 years old to her 3 year old great- grandson...... The house was perfect our family to enjoy dinner outside or inside. The yard was complete with swings and a climbing structure for the kids including bikes and plenty of beach supplies to enjoy several choices of beaches between Saugautck and South Haven. An added bonus was the nature trail that was just yards away from the house... A DEFINITE GEM IN THE WOODS!

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!

Summer Vacation!

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!

South Farm is outstanding!! Clean, comfortable, well stocked, and an amazing location surrounded by wildlife! I could not have asked for a better experience. Zach was super helpful when there was one small issue, and it was resolved quickly. Communication and instructions were clear and easy, and the house is very well thought out. I hope to go back again soon!

I love South Farm

As much as I'd like to keep knowledge of this gem to myself, I have to say that my family and I have had WONDERFUL experiences with this property and its responsive owners Zach and Rebecca. I could write a book about the many details that made the trips to South Farm so special, from the deer peeking out of the grass at us while we drank our morning coffee on the patio, to the bees buzzing around the lavender while we sat in the same spot. The house and property are not only very well maintained, there were no surprises. We could make ourselves at home there and not have to ration towels or think about a quirky appliance that didn't work right. Thanks so much Zach and Rebecca! We truly hope to visit again soon.
