Just minutes from South Haven’s sandy beaches and storybook downtown, Whispering Waves is more than a place to stay, it’s your launchpad for unforgettable moments. Sip coffee on the peaceful deck, soak in the sunshine by the lake, stroll into town for ice cream and lighthouse views, then wind down in the hot tub while the kids burn off energy in the fenced yard. At night? Settle in for family game nights, throwback arcade showdowns, and cozy movie marathons in not one, but two epic family rooms, each rocking a massive 75” TV. Beach days or snow days, this place delivers magic year-round.

Explore South Haven, Local Flavor & Family Fun
Boat tours on Lake Michigan. Berry picking at nearby farms. Sunset walks on the iconic pier. Waterfront restaurants with postcard views. And for the little ones? The splash pad near the marina is an instant favorite. If you love the outdoors, Kal-Haven Trail’s got you covered for biking, hiking, or a peaceful walk in any season.
It’s Not Just for Summer
Winter in South Haven brings a whole new vibe, quiet, cozy, and packed with small-town charm. Cross-country ski or snowmobile the Kal-Haven Trail, ice skate downtown, hit the slopes at Timber Ridge or Bittersweet, or dive into vintage fun at Rocket Arcade. Then warm up at the Michigan Theatre with a movie and some popcorn.

What Guests Are Saying:
Don’t take our word for it, hear it from the folks who’ve stayed:
"Anna’s place was a great place for our whole family (and their dogs) to gather for a long weekend. There was a fun tv and play room for the kids inside, and an awesome fenced in yard with a sandbox, swings, a slide, and an AMAZING heated pool. This place was great for a large group with a big dining table indoors and outdoors, a big couch with a tv where we could watch movies together, extra trundles, and plenty of adult and kid dishes." - Kayla
"Anna was attentive, always available, very open and reasonable with all requests. We came into town for a family gathering and she made sure we had everything that we needed and more. Expectations are transparent. Their home is absolutely gorgeous and so welcoming. I would stay here 100 times over." - Amanda
"Anna’s home was a wonderful place for our family to spend the weekend. The host was very responsive and helped us get access to the right TV app to watch our favorite football team. The heated pool, playscape, and sand box kept the kids happy for hours. This place has plenty of scape for a big family!" - Jason & Jodi
