Winter Wonderland: Enjoy the views of snow on the evergreen trees in the winter. The house has two furnaces and two fireplaces, and is quite cozy and warm. The nearby Kal-Haven trail is great for cross country skiing. A short drive away are the Bittersweet and Timber Ridge ski areas, where guests can downhill ski and snowboard; lessons, rentals and daily lift tickets available. Downtown South Haven has an open-air ice skating rink, open daily - skate rentals available, as well as coffee and hot chocolate next door at Julia's!



Guests have access to the entire house and garage. We are close by and available by email, text or phone, but will otherwise stay out of your way! This is a special property - a custom built Spanish Colonial home with private pool, 15 wooded acres with many hardwood, evergreen and flowering trees and a lush lawn, surrounded by larger tracts of farmland. It is very private and quiet, with amazing views of the night sky, but is just a short drive from many area attractions and the towns of South Haven, Fennville and Saugatuck/Douglas. Plenty of parking! Large driveway area in front of the house.



The pool will open for the 2026 season on April 23, and will close on Oct 12. 

After booking is confirmed, guest and host will execute a separate rental agreement. It is a standard contract that is required by my insurance company and shouldn't contain any surprises.
