Lumber Baron Family Retreat is a private 10 acre estate property formerly operated as the Seymour House Bed & Breakfast. Now exclusively available for family vacations and other family gatherings, the estate is located between the Lake Michigan resort towns of South Haven and Saugatuck just half a mile from the Lake Michigan shoreline and a 12 minute drive either North or South to the beaches. Professionally managed by nearby owners who are deeply experienced in the hospitality industry. Families love Lumber Baron Family Estate as you can see from its seventeen 5 star reviews in it's first few years of operation!
The property features an ornate brick Italianate-style mansion built by William H. Seymour in 1862 and remains one of the finest homes in the area. Also on the property is a two bedroom guest cabin, a one acre stocked pond, wooded nature trails, a heated pool with sun deck, hot tub and fire pit. Xfinity wireless broadband throughout.
LAKE MICHIGAN BEACHES & WATERFRONT PARKS: Lake Michigan beaches and waterfront parks are abundant and very close by. The house is located just a mile from the Casco Beach and Preserve. A ten minute drive to the South takes you to the famous South Beach and South Haven Lighthouse. Ten minutes to the North takes you to Oval Beach Saugatuck, ranked nationally among the top 10 US beaches. And the 400 acre VanBuren State park is just 12 miles away and features beautiful waterfront sand dunes.

The estate was once a commercial peony farm and 50 years later, one can see peonies blooming in the surrounding woods beyond the present property. For the last 30 years the home was operated as a luxury inn.

Hilary M. Aug 29, 2024 02:53:26 AM
Summary: This estate was a perfect spot for our family reunion getaway. We were 18 people (mostly teens and adults), with plenty of space for all. The house is well appointed and very charming, with a large dining room for bigger gatherings and several smaller spaces for cozier interactions. Two of the 8 bedrooms are in the log cabin on the property, which the young adults loved to give them some independence! The property is beautiful and well-kept. The pond is not swimmable (which is fine because there is a pool!), but can float around or use the paddle boat provided. The owner is super easy to work with, and very responsive to needs and requests. All around we loved this place and would be happy to return if opportunity permits!

Summary: Great place in a historic house with modern amenities.
sharon g. Aug 13, 2024 06:01:40 AM
Summary: There were 16 of us and each person enjoyed themselves. The house was large enough and unique in its style. Plenty of outside room and nearly things to do. Michael was quick to respond if we needed anything. We would definitely rent from him again. Very pleased.
jessica h. Jul 8, 2024 03:01:34 AM
Summary: We had a great time with family and friends from 4 to 85! The kids especially liked the cabin and the pool. It’s a great spot with a lot to do and the beach very nearby and South Haven a quick drive to. We really enjoyed it.
Carrie E. Jun 8, 2024 05:56:15 AM
Summary: We had 18 family members met up coming from Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and Georgia. It was nice to have a big space to spread out and not feel on top of each other. We did make a pros and cons list: CONS: update pictures online (pool, cabin, etc), landscaping was dead, owner not responding to messages online, there was a mouse/droppings in cabin, not knowing about having to make beds when we arrived, no WiFi in cabin, updated bathrooms/showers PROS: well stocked kitchen with dishes and utensils, space for everyone to eat, pool/hot tub, clean, pool towels well stocked, gorgeous grounds. Overall we had a great experience and it was really close to Saugatuck and South Haven. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

Summary: We held our women’s retreat at this beautiful home and it was perfect. The property is so serene. The house and cabin are so cozy with all the amenities you could ask for. It is very well stocked for a large group. Absolutely loved it!

Summary: We had a 20+ person family get together at this very beautiful former estate turned B&B turned VRBO. We loved that almost every room had its own bathroom, double fridges and dishwashers, plenty of plates and cups etc. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, two BBQ grills made grilling dinner easy, the backyard was a great place for young and old alike to run around and play. The fire pit was perfect for campfire stories and s’mores. The host, Michael, was very responsive to our requests and issues. Just know that of the listed number of rooms, 2 rooms and a bathroom are separate from the rest of the main house in a cabin about 100yrds away on the same property, about a 3 minute walk from the back door. Overall, I’m sure everyone would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the house.
Janet M. Aug 25, 2023 11:00:52 AM
Summary: We had an amazing week at this lovely home. Kitchen was well equipped, ample seating for dinners and snacks. The weather cooperated so we were outside on the patio most of the time. The children fished and swam, really enjoyed the paddle boat. Pool was perfect to cool off in. A nightly fire rounded off a perfect day. Located short distances from South Haven and Saugatauk. My 4 yr old grandson came into the house and exclaimed "I just love this house!" It doesn't get better than that.
Teresa L. Aug 11, 2023 11:00:52 AM
Summary: This property is beautiful and well cared for. The house is beautiful and well appointed in every way. Our family loved fishing in the pond, and the paddleboat, swimming in the pool, the hot tub and sitting around the fire pit. Kitchen was well equipped. Close to shopping and grocery. We loved wandering around South Haven and Saugatuck. Michael, the property manager was responsive and helpful. This is a perfect spot for a family vacation.
Mary G. Aug 9, 2023 12:00:11 PM
Summary: We held our annual family reunion at the Seymour house and had a wonderful time. The house is cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit and the property is large enough for the kids to play soccer and other games.
