Lake House -1 block from Lake Michigan Sunsets

2 Bedrooms, 1 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6

This updated cozy cottage is one block from Lake Michigan. Located only 5 minutes north of South Haven and 20 mins south of Saugatuck/Douglas.

At the Hygge Cottage you're a short walk from catching spectacular sunsets. Located on a quiet block the home offers a nice sized backyard for activities, grilling, and two patios for outdoor dining / morning coffee.

Located only a 2 minute drive from Cogdal Winery and Hawkshead Golf Course. When you are ready to visit the surrounding area, take Blue Star north and hit the farmers markets, galleries and downtown shops in Saugatuck/Douglas or head south to South Haven for amazing restaurants, boat rentals, and public parks and beaches.

Whether you are looking for lots of activities or a quiet peaceful getaway, The Hygge Lake Cottage offers the best of both worlds.

* One block away from Lake Michigan cliff. Due to erosion, there is no direct access ( stairs or tram) to the shoreline at the end of the block. We are short drive to lovely public beach access. The cliff provides great sunset / sunrise views.

Home is only 1 hour away from Notre Dame.

Quiet, comfortable and clean. Close to everything that you would want to do. Beaches, parks, wineries and shopping. I would recommend The Lodge for simple dining in South Haven.

This was the perfect place for a girls weekend. It was in a great location, very convenient to the downtown shops and restaurants as well as the beach. We loved to walk down to the end of the road to see the beautiful lake views. The little details were greatly appreciated…coffee, creamer, teas, hot chocolate, soaps, kitchen utensil options, and much more. I would highly recommend staying here!

The home was very well-equipped (for ex, kitchen and bathroom) and the beds were comfortable. The blue and white color scheme was pleasant. We enjoyed heading down to the end of the road to watch the sun set on our first evening there - one of my friends who was there is a poet and she even wrote a poem about it! The proximity to both South Haven and Saugatuck was perfect for us. After our first day, we experienced some windy and rainy weather off and on, but the house was so cozy that we didn’t mind.

We love this property. The house is very clean, location is peaceful & it’s within few minutes drive time to the beaches and shops. We could not open the shower door over the pan but the owner addressed this issue immediately. We would stay again.

This darling vacation home offers all that was advertised. Fabulous kitchen with eating area, 2 good sized bedrooms, lovely bath plus open living room w/ large Roku T.V..

Great retreat location

This cottage was completely adorable and SO clean! The pictures on VRBO don't do it justice. The decor had a natural (loved the live plants!) and soothing feel. The area was very quiet and perfect for my solo retreat. It's also a very short drive to Kal-Haven trail, which was a delight. I plan to rent this again as this is one of the nicest VRBOs I've stayed in.

Eclectic Hideaway Near Beaches Galore

Cozy beach vibe cottage which is perfect for a couple or small family to get away from the hustle and bustle. Decently private, quiet enough, and plenty of nature to listen to as well. Lots of restaurants and hikes nearby for pure vacation enjoyment! And Property Manager did great communication throughout!

Second stay here: love it.

This is my second time staying at this home and I love it just as much as the first. Great location to restaurants, marina, highway but super quiet and peaceful. Everything you need in the kitchen is provided, board games, tv with Roku as well. Beds were comfortable and the deck was perfect to relax. Definitely my go to spot when visiting South Haven. Highly recommend.
