Great Anniversary Getaway

The Baby Grand was such a charming place to spend the weekend. Adjacent to the lake so we could enjoy the breeze even sitting on the couch with our morning coffee, and just a short walk from downtown so we could walk off our bloody marys at Captain Lous! A clean, safe, picturesque place for a weekend away with my hunny.

This is our second visit to the Baby Grand. My sisters and I absolutely love this cottage. It’s a beautiful location, and everything we could possibly want is nearby. Also, Stacey is an amazing host. Very attentive and easily accessible. We are so excited to book again probably for next year. My sisters and I would like to make an annual visit out of this.

Fantastic Location

Charming, we’ll-appointed cottage close to beach. It was the perfect place to spend a week with friends for a relaxing beach-side vacation. Stacey was a fabulous host and made certain we had everything we needed including beach chairs and a beach wagon! I will definitely be returning.

Baby Grand

The location was great- a 2 minute walk to the beach! We also walked to downtown to restaurants and shop’s which was very convenient! The cottage was cozy with a lot of little conveniences! Nice TV with many channel choices! Overall- a great place to stay!

Perfect for a couple

Loved our stay at the Baby Grand. Perfect fpr a couple. Could easily add 1-2 small children. Location is perfect (100 yards to the beach through a walking path). Parked our car and it never moved for 5 days.

Best little get away

This is my third stay at this property. I travel a lot but when I come here, it’s just for me. The house has everything and need and then some so I can relax and escape reality. Friendly neighborhood too with walking distance to a couple cute places or if you like longer walks, into town is doable. I will be back!

Great week in South Haven

Had a wonderful week at the cottage. Everything you need for the week is provided. Great efficient kitchen. Air conditioning worked great during the hot afternoons. Great place for a couple just to relax and not worry. Steps down to the beach on the access path right next door. Thanks for a great week.
