About this property

--Wendy's Cottage--

Located in a historic neighborhood of South Haven, this charming cottage is located just a short distance to downtown. There you will find many wonderful restaurants and shops. This cottage is beautifully furnished with original hardwood floors, a porch swing, and eclectic artwork. The Kal Haven trail is located a short distance from the house and Optimist Tot Lot Park can be found right around the block for the little ones to play. Best of all Wendy’s Cottage is about a mile from both of South Haven’s spectacular beaches and after a day of seeing all that South Haven has to offer, enjoy an evening relaxing on the large back deck. With two bedrooms and a loft area with a queen bed, and two 3/4 bathrooms, this house comfortably sleeps 6 people. Additional parking is available in the backyard or on Bailey Street (located 3 houses to the west of Wendy's Cottage).

Excellently maintained historic home. It was quite a treat, and the host was prompt, informative and accommodating.I only had one issue, but to be clear, I don’t see any suggestions to improve or correct this.Parking was an issue. I was driving a full size half ton truck and barely parked it between the side walk and the property. I had zero chance of getting it between the house and neighbors fence. A smaller car wouldn’t be any concern, but a larger vehicle would have to park elsewhere.

Wendy's Cottage was perfect for our Memorial Vacation stay. We were close to all the festivities in South Haven and had a cozy home to relax in, grill dinners, watch movies and play games in. The home owners thought of everything. There was a lovey front porch with a swing and rocking chairs and the grill out back was on a nice size deck that looked back into a backyard with wildlife to watch. There was laundry facilities, extra blankets and pretty dishes to eat on.

Had the best time staying at Wendy’s Cottage. The back patio was a great place to hang out in the evening and downtown was just a short walk away.

Clean house, good bedding. The only downside was parking. Location is on Phoenix Street and a very narrow lot with an even narrower driveway.

Great house to stay in - it is very well maintained, clean, and has everything you need. Only challenge was parking/the driveway which was tight to drive through. As a heads up - if you have a large SUV like I did, it will be extremely difficult to park.

Loved the cottage.

We loved this well stocked and gorgeous cottage. We are used to staying closer to town, but we’re able to walk most everywhere. The driveway was very narrow for our SUV, but we made it work. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Wendy's Cottage. It had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The deck in back is great, complete with a great grill and outdoor heater. I would only caution those bringing multiple cars that the driveway is quite tight.
