The Space:
Tucked away in the serene woods of Allegan County, Maple Woods Hideaway is a 2,200 sq. ft. retreat offering the perfect blend of seclusion and adventure. Located just 12 miles from the charming Lake Michigan town of South Haven, this home provides a peaceful escape while keeping you close to sandy beaches, boutique shops, and great dining.

The house features 5 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a cozy living room with a large-screen TV, and a well-equipped kitchen with a dining area perfect for gathering over meals. Step outside to enjoy the screened porch with a dining set, a front deck with seating, and a 4-person hot tub available year-round for ultimate relaxation. Fire up the huge park-style charcoal grill (BYO charcoal & starter fluid) and dine al fresco before ending the night around the fire pit with friends and family.

For entertainment, the rec room is packed with fun—play a round of pool, foosball, or air hockey, or kick back in the lounge area with a 50” and 55” UHD TV, sofa, and extra fridge for drinks and snacks. Looking for adventure? Newly added this year, a private scenic hiking trail winds through the backyard, offering guests a rare opportunity to explore nature right from the home. Whether you prefer hiking, biking, or snowshoeing in the winter, this unique feature sets Maple Woods Hideaway apart.
