About this house rental

Features include updated kitchen, multiple living areas, game-filled basement, screened porch, and fire pit. Close to Lake Michigan beaches, wineries, orchards, and ski areas, this private retreat offers year-round fun and relaxation

Your getaway is surrounded by a landscaped yard and dense woods all around. The wooded property provides total privacy along with all the comforts of home.



At the end of a long, private driveway, this one-of-a-kind custom home is located in the middle of 20 wooded acres, surrounded by large tracts of land on all sides. The 5000sf two-story home with 2-car garage has three large living areas (one with fireplace), beautiful views from the bedrooms, one of which is on the main floor. The huge basement den features a 75" TV, lots of seating, and foosball, ping pong, and pool tables. The family room, which is open to the kitchen and screened porch, has a 65" TV.

An additional refrigerator is located in the basement mud room. YouTube TV and wireless internet included. Well behaved dogs are welcome.

Deer, turkeys and other wildlife roam the property. A short drive from the property are multiple winery tasting rooms, a golf course, a beachfront Lake Michigan park, and a pumpkin patch with hay rides for autumn guests. Also close by is South Haven, with its charming downtown, farmers market, public beaches and lively riverfront. Other nearby attractions include Saugatuck/Douglas, Fennville, wineries with tasting rooms, breweries, numerous golf courses, antique markets, you-pick orchards, lakes with boat and kayak rentals, hike and bike trails, and many great restaurants.



Winter Wonderland: Enjoy the views of snow on the evergreen trees in the winter. The house has two furnaces and a fireplace, and is quite cozy and warm in the winter. The nearby Kal-Haven trail is great for cross country skiing. A short drive away are the Bittersweet and Timber Ridge ski areas, where guests can downhill ski and snowboard; lessons, rentals and daily lift tickets available. Downtown South Haven has an open-air ice skating rink, open daily - skate rentals available, as well as coffee and hot chocolate next door at Julia's!



Guests have access to the entire house and garage. We are close by and available by email, text or phone, but will otherwise stay out of your way! This is a special property - a custom  California Contemporary home on 20 wooded acres with many hardwood and evergreen  trees and a lush lawn, surrounded by woods and farmland. It is very private and quiet, with amazing views of the night sky, but is just a short drive from many area attractions and the towns of South Haven, Fennville and Saugatuck/Douglas. Plenty of parking! 

Guests have access to the entire house - five bedrooms on three floors, three new bathrooms (main floor - walk in shower; upper floor - hall bathroom with tub/shower combo and a walk in shower in the primary), three large living areas, fireplace, an open updated kitchen, huge finished basement TV den and game room, screened porch, sun deck, patio, and the beautifully landscaped yard, tennis court with basketball backboard and surrounding woods.

Well-stocked kitchen (non-food items), high quality mattresses and linens (bedroom and bathroom), YouTube TV and Wi-Fi internet included.

After booking is confirmed, guest and host will execute a separate rental agreement. It is a standard contract that is required by my insurance company and shouldn't contain any surprises.

We have had multi family gatherings for over 10 years now, this house had one of the best kitchens we have experienced. Double oven, double dishwasher and large surface range made meal prep and clean up a snap! Beautiful setting on the Black River and property with space made our stay great. Our host communicated very well, we we never left guessing, they have also put a very nice local information book that was very useful for planing outings. Great views of the river from any spot in the house.

Immaculate house with updated features. Loved that it was well stocked with kitchen supplies even seasonings which I forgot. My only suggestion is to repair the tennis court which had so many large cracks it was difficult to play

This was a great house! I’m not sure what I can add that other reviews haven’t already said. There is a reason this house has so many 5 star reviews. There’s plenty of space for multiple families to spread out without feeling on top of each other. The huge basement was perfect for our kids to play in, and the house itself was very clean with a well-stocked kitchen.The outdoor space is tremendous, with beautiful landscaping that makes it even more inviting. We especially enjoyed the tennis court, which we used several evenings for pickleball with the kids. The court is on the older side with several large cracks, so if you’re a serious player it’s a bit tough to play on—but for the kids, it was perfect.We did have a minor issue with water pressure on our first day, but I texted the owner and they had someone out right away to fix it—great communication and responsiveness.It’s also in a great location, just a quick 15–20 minute drive to South Haven.
