Secluded Log Home - Private Lake!

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had an excellent time as a family at David's cabin. Everything was as advertised, and more. David was very proactive in communicating with us and responsive to any questions we had. The cabin was really, really beautiful, with peaceful surroundings and all the comforts of a well appointed home. David was clear about the pet policy and our dog was clearly welcome in the home. David left really nice touches for the humans as well, with cookies and muffins on our arrival. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, and we are particularly impressed with how well everything is labeled...light switches, cupboard doors, electronics, etc. Very, very well done. We enjoyed our long weekend, winter escape!

Heavenly 7 Retreat Luxury Cabin -Kingfisher Cove

HeshanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This cabin is absolutely perfect. It exceeded our expectations by a clear mile. This was also my first Airbnb experience where everything was perfect - I had zero complaints. The entire cabin was spotless and squeaky clean when we arrived. The cabin itself has a great build quality and everything in the house was meticulously catered and designed for a wonderful guest experience. The host was kind enough to accommodate an early check-in and a late checkout. We loved using the firepit and sitting in the screened-in porch. The cabin is situated with a 4-5 drive to downtown Saugatuck, and about a 15 minute drive to Holland. There's a bunch of restaurants and coffee shops in the area. We had a group of 5 people, and it was the perfect size. Could certainly accommodate at least a couple more people comfortably. I highly recommend this listing!

A hideaway retreat on a private lake for relaxing.

MindyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Our family of 5 had a great stay at Gary’s place. The lake, the pontoon, paddle boards and pedal boat were used daily. It is private and quiet. There are plenty of life vests and even some large inner tubes you can take out on the water. The floating dock and lily pad were covered in goose poop while we were there so we didn’t use them. The house was comfortable and had more amenities than most air BNBs we’ve stayed at. Our favorite spot (besides being on the water) was drinking coffee and reading on the covered porch! Would recommend to families!!

Pet friendly, lakefront, 3 kayaks & docks included

DavidRating, 5 stars5 days ago
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary getaway. I am so glad that we did! The property is absolutely beautiful. Everything was super clean and ready for our check in. We found everything we needed in the home, from kitchen items to a few bathroom items that we forgot to pack. We so appreciated the view of the lake, from inside and out on the deck and pier. Watching the sunset was priceless. The hammock was sleep inducing! This property is so serene, so peaceful, so gorgeous. I just can't say enough good things about it. Sierra was very communicative, approachable, responsive, and accommodating. She truly is a Superhost. We will definitely be staying here again! On a side note, treat yourself to a meal at Drift on Pine, just 10 minutes away, as it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Don't hesitate to book your stay here. It is everything that it is supposed to be and more.

Big Fish Lakefront Oasis

ChristelRating, 5 stars8 months ago
If you’re searching for the perfect lake house to accommodate the whole family, look no further than this gem on Big Fish Lake. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this house was exactly what we had been hoping for. This lake house on Big Fish Lake was perfect for our family getaway. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, it offered a peaceful escape with ample space for everyone. The house was comfortable and well-equipped, and the pier was a fantastic spot for fishing and enjoying the lake. A standout feature was the screened-in porch, ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations with its blend of comfort, convenience, and scenic beauty. A delightful extra was the water toys that came included with the rental. Highly recommended for a relaxing family retreat!

JonRating, 5 stars6 days ago
My partner and I booked a last minute stay here on our way back from a road trip. Ryan was very responsive (within 30 minutes) and we loved staying at the house. The backyard was perfect to let our dog run around off leash and the house was very cozy. The neighborhood is very quiet and you’re just a few blocks from the best ice cream place in the midwest, Oinks. We would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed at Linda’s while visiting family over the holidays and it was a comfortable, well stocked, clean, home away from home. It’s on a busy road but because of that close to everything. Linda was responsive and helpful. Kitchen had lots of condiments, coffee filters, cooking basics. Lots of extras like blankets, games, and box fans.

Tiny home log cabin at the pines

ShariRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The cabin might be tiny but it is mighty and has everything needed for a hassle free stay - a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable seating area, full bath, TV, Wi-Fi, a front porch overlooking horses at pasture and a few turkeys in the morning, and even wood and a lighter for the fire pit. Far enough from stores and restaurants to avoid constant traffic, but close enough to get there in less than 15 minutes. Barbara was caring and responsive without being intrusive and made sure I had what I needed. Beautiful and peaceful, a great little place to get away, whether to see the local sites, or just relax.

McComb's Cabin, Union Pier, MI

DustinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Alene's place was exactly what is needed for a break from the noise and hustle of the city. Nestled just off the road in a quiet stand of trees, the cabin provides the peace and quiet to recharge your batteries for a wonderful weekend. Her place is just minutes from many walking/hiking trails, great restaurants and local attrations of several small surrounding towns. Bu the best part of the expereince is Alene herself! What an absolute peach and wealth of knowldge of the local area. She is the epitome of Super Host and relishes in providing details of the area. Following her guidance will ensure a wonderful stay! The cabin itself is just as the pics convey- small, quaint, and perfect for a single traveler or couple. The woodstove is great to fire up and the burning log provides a wonderful light to fall asleep with. The skylights above the bed are especially nice as the view of the stars and moon are wonderful. 100% will return.

Pear blossom cabin

James SamuelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was such a lovely, cozy getaway. The location is great, and the space was perfect for a couple. It was a wonderful mix of rustic and modern amenities. Anne really went above and beyond: there were farm fresh eggs, a selection of local beers and ciders, and fresh cut flowers waiting for us when we got in. She also was super communicative and helpful with her instructions. This place will be our go-to for Saugatuck trips going forward!

Your guide to South Haven

All About South Haven

A beach town and working harbor for more than a century, South Haven is one of the most agreeable getaways on the Lake Michigan lakeshore. The most famous of its stretches of soft sands is South Beach, where visitors swim in sight of its famous red lighthouse. You can tour the Michigan Maritime Museum’s exhibits, or make a reservation to sail out onto the lake on its tall ship. Inland, the bike and hiking trails stretch for miles, and they’re as popular in autumn as they are in the snowy winters and the flower-filled spring (Holland, Michigan’s annual Tulip Time Festival is just 30 miles away, after all). Active travelers can also spend a day away from the water at the raceways, horse stables, and golf courses. Or do what most people who escape to South Haven do: simply slow down.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in South Haven

Summer is definitely the ideal time to visit the Lake Michigan shore. The temperature varies from the 70s through the low 90s Fahrenheit from June through August, but the lake tempers the heat. As you may expect from a land of lakes and rivers, in late summer the humidity spikes, and rains are frequent, so pack rain gear as well as sunblock and mosquito repellent.

April and May are cooler — think high 50s and low 60s Fahrenheit — but still pleasant, and autumn, which begins mid-September and lasts through November, is glorious, with crisp air and brilliantly colored foliage. Winters stretch from early December to March. During those months, temperatures below the 40s Fahrenheit are the norm, and the lakeshore effect brings freezing winds and snows.


Top things to do in South Haven

Saugatuck

Just 20 miles north of South Haven, Saugatuck has the air of a perennial resort. Its charming downtown is the culinary capital of the coast, and between meals you can stop in at craft breweries and art galleries. The city is also considered the Provincetown of the Midwest, with numerous LGBTQ-friendly campgrounds and gathering spaces.

Kal-Haven Trail

This flat, wooded trail extends 33 miles between South Haven and Kalamazoo, with bridges and towns along the way. A former railroad, its crushed-rock surface is free of steep inclines and easy for bikes and wheelchairs to navigate. In the winter, cross-country skiers leave their stripes in the snow, and some snowmobiles travel as far along the route as they can go.

Fruit picking

Southern and western Michigan is the Midwest’s fruit bowl, providing three seasons’ worth of berries, stone fruit, and apples. U-Pick farms are scattered around South Haven, and the city hosts an annual blueberry festival. Even if you can’t fill your suitcase with fresh cherries, you can pick up pastries and jams for the journey home.
