Summary: We took our parents to this beautiful cottage on the bluff of Lake Michigan and it was perfect! Cozy cottage with plenty of room. The porch is large and the views priceless! Don’t get this in the city!!! Close to explore both towns of South Haven and Saugatuck. Our long weekend was wonderful! Highly recommend!

Summary: Great property and you can’t beat the sunset views! Close to everything and had everything we needed.
Sara W. May 10, 2025 05:20:07 AM
Summary: This location is absolutely so lovely! Quiet, secluded, with an absolutely incredible view of the lake. My partner and I came for our honeymoon and just wanted someplace comfortable and quiet and this ticked every box. There was no cell service, but the wifi did fine when we used it, and honestly we wanted to get away from work and the phone calls anyway so it was a boon! The house was clean and delightful and well taken care of. Zero issues to report and honestly can't wait to come back!

Summary: Candice’s home was a beautiful place to stay after our engagement. The home was scenic, well-kept and cozy. We would definitely recommend it!
Liz E. Jan 6, 2025 11:48:50 PM
Summary: My husband and I stayed here for a few days after the new year with our 3 kids- 14, 11 and 7. Although tight, it was so cute and the views were amazing. The host was so responsive and easy to work with. Kitchen had the essentials, bedding was great, DVD player and smart TV for movies. To be laying in bed and looking at the lake was just what we were looking for. The only thing that would have made it better would be beach access, but we enjoyed our stay! Thank you Candice!

Summary: 4.5 Stars Overall. This is a unique property with unparalleled views of Lake Michigan. The hot tub in the woods with total privacy was an incredible experience. The cabin was impeccably clean, had an adorable decor, and is in a great location with easy access to downtown South Haven, as well as other fun spots such as Crane's and Virtue Cider. Candice was a very thoughtful host and she even procured a baby gate so that we could feel safer bringing our infant with us. I would say downsides to the cabin are the showers (very narrow, and the non-adjustable shower head made for an awkward bathing experience), the upstairs lighting and fan remote control situation was confusing and also some of the light fixtures appeared to be broken. If you are a larger person (as is my husband), you probably won't find the cottage very comfortable, as the passageways are narrow and if you're tall you might hit your head sitting up in the bed upstairs with the slanted ceiling. As an average sized person I thought it was fine, but our advice is if you are "Big and Tall" this might not be the best fit (no pun intended). Another downside is the lack of wi-fi and cell phone service. Candice does make this clear on the property description, but I can vouch that we barely had service the whole time we were there, and had to walk to the end of the driveway just to make a call or Google anything. But if you're looking for a romantic getaway and willing to unplug, it is perfect.
