About this cottage rental

Greetings!

The cottage is tucked away on a one acre lot and situated between the owner's historic farmhouse and the original well-maintained hay barn, the positioning of the buildings offer plenty of privacy to guests.

It is conveniently located half a mile to the east of Lake Michigan and less than 2 miles directly south of the charming historic downtown South Haven and South Beach. Within one mile south of the cottage, guests can access Lake Michigan at Deerlick Creek Park Beach as well, and Van Buren State Park is about 2 miles further south. Moreover, the State Park and downtown beaches are easily reachable via the 5 mile long Van Buren Hike and Bike Trail, which is just a 1/4 mile from the driveway. All of South Haven's main attractions can be reached in a quick 5-10 minute drive or a leisurely 15-20 minute bike ride.

The interior offers a very spacious living room that easily accommodates a queen memory foam sleeper sofa, an oversized chair, and two upholstered chairs. Child-friendly seating options are available for activities on the large factory cart coffee table, which can be conveniently rolled away if using the sleeper sofa. There is plenty of space for enjoying the array of card and board games or relaxing and watching movies amidst child-friendly decor. The living room is equipped with a Smart TV, a high-speed Xfinity internet/WIFI connection, also a collection of painting and drawing art supplies. You'll also find postcards to send to loved ones, a retro turntable with a diverse selection of albums, and a vintage restored typewriter for composing poetry or letters while revolting against technology.

In the fully stocked kitchen, you'l find a dishwasher, disposal, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, gas stove, crockpot, baking dishes, and a ninja blender. Additionally, we provide various kitchen essentials such as spices, olive oil, wine, balsamic vinegar, coffee, tea, and all condiments. The pantry is stocked with a variety of amenities, including Starbucks’s Keurig pods, assorted black and herbal teas, and baking essentials.

For outdoor activities, there is a propane BBQ grill, coolers, bicycles, and helmets, beach towels, beach blankets, umbrellas, portable chairs, and a collapsible wagon to tote the kids or the goods to the beach. You will also find sandcastle building toys and several other recreational amenities. Prior to your arrival, we will send you a detailed list of all house and recreational amenities to help you prepare for your trip.

The two spacious bedrooms feature queen pillow top mattresses with bamboo cotton linens and comforters. Each bedroom is equipped with plenty of storage space, oscillating floor fans, and nightlights. The master bedroom includes an exterior door opening to a patio, offering a tranquil view of the densely tree lined property, fire ring with provided firewood and an organic vegetable garden.

For families with infants or toddlers, we offer two freshly sanitized Pack and Play units, along with linens.
The bathroom features a large 6 x 4 walk in shower, heated tile flooring and shower stool if needed. For families with young children, a step stool is available..

The laundry area is equipped with a stack washer-dryer, along with detergent, bleach, and dryer sheets for your use. Additionally, we provide a selection of toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, body soap, body lotion, a lint brush, hair dryer, cotton balls, and Q-tips.

For outdoor enthusiasts, access to the Kal-Haven hike and bike trailhead is located just a short distance from downtown. This trail spans 30 miles to Kalamazoo, offering picturesque views of the Black River and surrounding farmland. Additionally, the Van Buren Trail, situated only 1/4 mile from the house, extends approximately 5 miles from downtown to the Van Buren State Park.

To further enhance your experience, we provide a detailed list of recommendations for dining and local attractions prior to your arrival. You'll receive website links to each recommended location to facilitate your planning and exploration.

Conveniently located approximately 3 miles away, you'll find a Meijers grocery, pharmacy, and home goods store, as well as a Walgreens. Should you require it, Meijers offers a home grocery delivery service through the Shipt app, which we are happy to assist with prior to your check-in.

In addition to our main accommodations, we have recently completed construction of a duplex-style addition to the Farmhouse - a two-story one-bedroom/bathroom and living room with a kitchen. This unit is available as a nightly rental, accommodating larger parties and offering its own private outdoor area. More details about this additional unit can be found at VRBO #9298628ha.

We look forward to providing you with a comfortable and memorable stay.

Best, Marc

The best stay we have had yet. The property was beautiful, quiet and serene. Inside was very clean and spacious. Lots of little things the owner supplied that made our vacation easier like towels, blankets, coffee, tea, supplies for smores and wood for the fire pit. Also bikes, helmets, chairs, toys, and canopy for the beach!

After many years of staying in vacation rentals across the country , I have to say that none of them matched this owners attention to detail and providing of supplies. From very good quality spices , olive oil, flavored vinegars, fresh fruit, coffee and teas, paper supplies( like baggies, foils etc…). There was no limit to his attention to provisions. Marc was so very responsive to any questions or recommendations and even notified us that we could check in early. He should receive some “Greatest Host Award”;))

The cottage and surrounding grounds were so well kept and the interior decorated with great charm. The owner was very communicative and hospitable. The beach and downtown were just five minutes away by car. We hope to stay here again and will recommend to family and friends.
