Fort Sassafras
Welcome to Fort Sassafras, your gateway to a world of relaxation and adventure near the shores of Lake Michigan. Nestled amidst towering trees, this charming retreat beckons you to leave your worries behind and embrace the tranquility of Pure Michigan.
Step inside and discover a haven of comfort and convenience. With three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, including two bedrooms and a full and half bathroom on the main level, Fort Sassafras offers the perfect layout for families and friends seeking to unwind together.
The heart of the home lies in the open great room, where the living, dining, and kitchen areas seamlessly blend together. Whip up delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen, complete with a center work island/snack bar and everything you need for culinary adventures. Gather around the dining table, where seating for up to eight ensures that every meal is a celebration. After dinner, sink into the sofas of the living area and indulge in a movie night on the large Smart TV, or retreat to the adjacent sunroom for a moment of quiet reflection amidst the soothing ambiance.
Outside, a world of relaxation awaits. Step onto the deck, where outdoor furniture invites you to bask in the gentle breeze and soak up the sunshine. Slip into the private hot tub and feel your cares melt away as you gaze up at the starry sky, or gather around the fire pit area for cozy evenings filled with laughter and s'mores.
Downstairs, the lower level beckons with a bedroom, full bathroom, and family room complete with a TV and games, offering additional space for rest and recreation.
Venture just 0.2 miles away, and you'll find yourself at the association Lake Michigan beach access, where sun, sand, and surf await. And with the charming towns of South Haven and Saugatuck/Douglas just a short drive away, you'll have endless opportunities for dining, shopping, and exploration.
Escape to Fort Sassafras and make memories that will last a lifetime. Book your stay today and let the adventure begin.
Please Note:
This home receives water via a well. It is perfectly safe to drink, but will taste a bit different if you're used to city water. If the power goes out, you will also be without water until the power is restored.
This home has a septic system. Do not flush anything other than toilet paper and natural waste. Flushing other items, such as feminine products or baby wipes, can result in the septic backing up into the house. No one likes poo in the shower, so please be careful what you flush!
Due to the country setting, it is common to see various critters such as deer, raccoons, mice, squirrels, opossums, ants, spiders, bees, etc. Be sure to keep the doors closed so the wildlife does not welcome itself inside. Though pest control comes regularly, if you notice any critters inside, please let us know right away.
