20% DISCOUNT FOR MAY; Beautiful Lakefront Retreat With Private Beach Access

Welcome to your perfect lakeside retreat on the shores of Lake Michigan! Nestled in the heart of natural beauty, our Lake Michigan lake house rental offers an idyllic escape. The home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is ready to host up to 12 guests.

Holiday Heart is situated at the end of a quiet street and is a wonderfully peaceful retreat while still being only a 10 minute drive into town. Take a step back in time with this town’s picturesque views from the downtown strip. Take a look into the harbor where you'll see boats pull in and out from Lake Michigan. This lakeside town is packed with cute shops and restaurants. From the classic fudge/ice cream parlors of western Michigan to the wonderful sushi restaurants you are certain to be satisfied with whatever you may desire.

This home is situated on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. You have exclusive access to the private beach that has stair and automated rail access (see photos).

Head outdoors and be instantly filled with the outdoor paradise that surrounds the area. Take a bike ride or stroll down the famous Kal-Haven Trail. Connecting Kalamazoo and South Haven, this 35 mile trail is said to be one of the best in Michigan. With its smooth terrain and gorgeous views it earns this title very easily. Looking for a little adrenaline rush? Rent an ATV and take to the trails in a more invigorating way or take to the water with a memorable sunset sailing experience.

Beautiful Home & Water Views
We loved our relaxing weekend at this lovely beach house right on Lake Michigan. Even with the chilly March air, we had gorgeous water views from our beds, living room and all other common spaces! As a fellow host, I can tell the level of attention the owner has put into making guests feel at home with the decor and the amenities provided. Great place in a great location!

Breathtaking Sunset
Enjoyed a very nice and relaxing girls weekend. Downtown South Haven was very quaint and the restaurants were great. I highly recommend Clementine's. The view of the sunset from the windows and the beach were spectacular. Jack did a great job explaining everything and responded quickly with all of our questions. We will definitely be back and use this place again.

Picturesque Weekend Getaway
This home is lovely. Incredibly clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals, tons of plush towels in each bathroom, fantastic views from every huge window, the list goes on. The evening sunsets were breathtaking. The home is in a community yet feels private and secluded. I'd love to come back here in warmer weather to experience the beach, which is steps from the front door!

I recently stayed at Holiday Heart for a long girls' weekend in January. While a beach in Michigan wasn't the first place I thought of for a winter getaway, this place completely changed my tune. The home was warm, inviting, and beautifully appointed. Watching the sun set over a snowy Lake Michigan while drinking wine by the fire was oh so perfect and relaxing. The owners thought of literally everything to make you feel at home. Forgot shampoo and conditioner? They had it. Didn't bring enough clothes? In unit washer and dryer. Everything was updated and modern and most importantly CLEAN. The bed I slept in was very comfortable and I heard the same from my friends. The drive to town was super short and had plenty of fun things to do (even in the off season). We were there during a particularly frigid weekend, so didn't get to take advantage of the beach, but it is literally just out the front door. The host, Jack, was so easy to work with and very responsive. I cannot wait to come back in the summer (and next winter)!
