This was a great place to stay for a little getaway! It was very clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the privacy of the privacy of the property while still being a short drive from South Haven's downtown, Sherman's Ice-cream, and the beach. The owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive, which made the experience wonderful and smooth. Would definately stay again!

This cottage is great! Upon arrival we were greeted with a bouquet of beautiful flowere and a welcome card. Things only got better from there. Very clean with open spaces displaying an extra touch in every room; giving the cottage a shabby chic beach feel. From extra throw blankets in the living room, to every kitchen utensil you could need, a coffee style bar, spa hygiene products in the bathroom, board games as well as a large beautiful outside space. Which had it have been warmer there was an area for a fire with a bundle of wood provided, a patio, and grill we would have utilized. The hosts were easy to reach for questions and provide check in and out details as well as any questions that arose during the stay. Overall a very comfortable and peaceful stay for two mature ladies. Thank you!!
