About this house rental

The Indiana School will be your home-base for family fun. The schoolhouse is 2 blocks from Kids Corner park, 3 blocks from the blue stairs access to South Beach, and 7 blocks from downtown restaurants and shopping. The lower unit has 4 themed bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and sleeps 12 comfortably. The massive great room provides plenty of space for families to spread out, play pool, or watch TV. The Detention room offers a separate space for the kids to watch TV and play board games. The large front yard gives your family more time to play in the sun. A propane grill and fire pit with seating is available for your use. There is plenty of parking at the property.

For large families, this unit can be combined with the upper unit for an additional 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, TV room, and another huge great room with foosball table. Rent the whole house for a week your family will never forget. See VRBO #858708.

Built in 1898, the Indiana School served as an elementary school until 2005. The schoolhouse underwent extensive remodeling in 2006. Many of the original finishes have been preserved including chalk boards, transom doors, wood paneling, and teacher's closets. Updates, painting, and all new furnishings were done in 2016. New windows, brick restoration, exterior painting, and heating/cooling improvements were made in 2023-24. The Indiana School has been designated as a historical site by the State of Michigan. The schoolhouse is truly a unique home.

Our weekly rentals run FRIDAY to FRIDAY. Check-in time is 4:00pm. Check-out time is 10:00am.

We have been coming here for a week each summer for several years now (except during COVID), and we have loved it. My family and friends have enjoyed this location and have appreciated that the spaciousness of the location has enabled us to enjoy inviting several friends to join us This has ensured that my grandchildren have had friends to enjoy the experience with. And we have watched them grow up together. You can choose to delete this comment from the review you publish: Unfortunately, this will be our last year. We have loved it, but it has reached the point where I cannot afford it any longer. I am retired with a fixed income, and I have stretched as far as I can. Because my family loves South Haven so much (my granddaughter says she loves it more than DisneyWorld), we will look for a smaller rental and invite friends for one day at a time - fortunately we have friends in Kalamazoo who will be able to manage a day trip rather than overnights. I am not complaining about the cost. I realize costs have gone up dramatically over the last few years. I just want you to know that we have loved it, and appreciated the comfort of the property.

We had a perfect stay. Nothing could have been better with the exception of one rain day.

This was our third stay at the School House and it was just as great as our first. Such a fun and unique place. Great location, always very clean, and room for everyone to have their own space (we had 8 adults and 9 kids and reserved both units).

The Schoolhouse is the absolute perfect rental in South Haven for larger groups and children! Walking distance to town, Kids' Corner Park and the beach. We have stayed multiple times in the lower unit and rented both units this trip to accommodate our extended family. The kids enjoyed having multiple spaces to play and escape to across both units. The Schoolhouse is our favorite place to stay in South Haven and we look forward to our trips all year long.

By far the best rental available in South Haven/South Beach, with the flexibility to easily handle a variety of family sizes and proximity to the beach, downtown, kids park, etc. Great owners that had the home fully stocked and with bonus amenities, easy check in/check out process, and phenomenal communication throughout. Truly the crown jewel of a memorable vacation!!

Really cool renovated school house, tons of room for the whole family and then some. Very clean, functional kitchen with all the cooking utensils we needed. We definitely plan to come back another year!

We stayed in the upper level of the schoolhouse two years ago so we knew the property would be clean and perfectly-located. The lower unit was great for this trip’s stay as my parents were traveling with us. We had such a great time!

This is a unique and impressive property. We stayed in the lower apartment and just marveled at the high ceilings, big windows, and beautiful furnishings. The space was spotless and well equipped with all that we needed. The beds were fresh and very comfortable. The location is also perfect…a few blocks from the beach in one direction and a few blocks to downtown shops and restaurants. We walked everywhere and had a fantastic stay!
