Private Pool 5 Minutes From Lake Michigan

Secluded 6 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath Home 5 Minutes From Lake Michigan with heated, private pool. The pool will be open until 10/16/25. The 2026 season will open on May 8 and will close on Sept 27.



Located between the beach communities of South Haven and Saugatuck/Douglas, and the town of Fennville, 'Harvest Country' is home to wineries, art galleries, great dining, a ski area, bike trails, and multiple rivers and lakes for fishing and kayaking. Enjoy farmers markets, town festivals and the beach in the summer along with the gorgeous colors on display in the dense woods and rolling farmland in the fall.



House Rules: This property is not available for weddings, parties or high school/college events. The minimum age to rent the property is 27. No exceptions.



Stunning 6 bedroom, 4.5 bath Spanish Colonial style home in a park-like setting, perfect for families or groups.



At the end of a long, private driveway, this one-of-a-kind custom home is located in the middle of 15 wooded acres, surrounded by large tracts of land on all sides. The 3600sf two-story home with 2-car garage has three large living areas (two with fireplaces), beautiful views from all six bedrooms, two of which are on the main floor. The huge basement den features a 75" TV, large sectional, foosball and pool tables, as well as a wet bar and fireplace. The family room, which is open to the kitchen and dining areas, has a fireplace and 65" TV. The large updated kitchen features granite counters, custom tile backsplash, ultra-quiet dishwasher, French door refrigerator, electric cooktop/double oven, and opens on to the family room and dining room. An additional refrigerator is located in the laundry room behind the kitchen. YouTube TV and wireless internet included. Well behaved dogs are welcome. There is a $50 pet fee. Please let me know the breed and confirm that they are well-trained.



Summer Paradise: A heated, in-ground fenced pool is available to guests from early May through late September. The patio off the kitchen/dining/family room area includes a dining table for 10. Enjoy the fire pit and bird-watching in the back yard, outdoor games, all secluded in the middle of the woods but just a short drive to the beach and town. Just a 5 minute 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. Within a 10 minute drive 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 dining options.



Winter Wonderland: Enjoy the views of snow on the evergreen trees in the winter. The house has two furnaces and two fireplaces, 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!



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 built Spanish Colonial home with private pool, 15 wooded acres with many hardwood, evergreen and flowering trees and a lush lawn, surrounded by larger tracts of 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! Large driveway area in front of the house.



The pool will open for the 2025 season on May 9, and will close on Sept 22. 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.

Absolutely fantastic property

The house was everything we needed and more! It was extremely charming and unique. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. They have thought of all the little details that really make it feel like home. The property itself is in such a peaceful setting. Literally everything was perfect for our stay.

Lots of room

The property was very much as advertised. There were 6 well spaced bedroom and plenty of bathrooms. The pool was steps away from the backdoor and accessible to our entire group. The kitchen was well-stocked for our group. We had a great time and Michelle was very attentive.

Couples Weekend

This property was perfect for our annual couples’ trip! It’s hard to find a nice place with 6 separate bedrooms and no bunk beds to accommodate 12 adults. Great location, easy ride into downtown South Haven and Saugatuck. As much as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, there were a couple things that should be mentioned: the steps and bottom of the pool were extremely slippery and caused a few of us to take a spill upon entering. No one was seriously injured, but a sign or note should be posted to alert visitors about this. Inside the house, the tap/shower water had a very strong sulfur smell which I’ve typically encountered in a cottage or cabin so it was unexpected in this setting. Otherwise, it was a terrific stay - Michelle was a great host, and we would recommend this property to families or groups traveling to this area.

Beautiful stay

I would recommend staying at this property. The property manager and associates were all very helpful. The property itself was in a very pretty setting, lots of trees, privacy, gorgeous landscaping, pool and overall house design were very relaxing and peaceful. The house is a bit older and does have some spots that could use some updates. For example, the kitchen is galley style and with 12 people, it was pretty tight, with a funny semi-circle countertop protruding into the walkway. There is one bedroom that does not have a closet or bath attached so in hindsight, we should have put smaller kids in there. Overall, the stay was great - the property managers were very responsive with any little issues we had (including my nephew knocking over and breaking a lamp). They were very understanding and helpful, even visiting the house to make sure our wi-fi was fixed, etc. The quiet setting was great but about a 10 minute drive to downtown South Haven. Some in our group loved that, others did not so keep that in mind if booking to be close to the beach or downtown shops, restaurants. We used the grill, fire pit and pool a lot. All worked great and helped save time and money from going out with 12 people every night. I would recommend staying here and we are thinking about bringing our group back again next year.

Perfect for our Crew

This house was perfect for a long weekend with friends including one 4 year old and one pup. It is large enough so people can do their own thing but also has great communal spaces for everyone to hang together. Close enough to town so it isn’t a trek but far enough away to feel secluded. The host could not have been nicer! Very happy we stayed here.

These owners went well beyond having all the supplies for our stay we could ever need! The pool, ping-pong, pool table, foosball, cornhole, made our whole trip so enjoyable. Also, we were very close to the beach and the main downtown, which was absolutely adorable.

Beautiful and Secluded Property

This is a beautiful home in a very secluded area. It's a large property with lovely foliage all around. The home is spacious and comfortable and communication with the owner was top notch. My stay was with 4 girlfriends - 5 adults total. We had plenty of private space as well as common areas for games and chatting. I cannot stress enough how CLEAN this home is! Not a speck of dust or dirt anywhere and the bed linens were impeccably clean and smelled fresh.

A Family Wedding

We travelled to South Haven for a family wedding and were looking for a large home that could accommodate having the extended family stay together at one home with sufficient bathrooms. This house truly fit the bill for what we were looking for! The secluded and beautifully manicured lot was so nice to come home to and the built in pool was a source of enjoyment for all who wanted to enjoy it into the late hours of the night without disturbing anyone else due to its great and very private location on the property. We appreciated having two refrigerators and the fully equipped kitchen. A couple of minor issues were that one of the burners on the stove top did not work which made cooking for a large group a little slower (but we would not downgrade our stay because of that) and luckily we brought an extra griddle! In addition, the person who stayed in the (very nice) basement felt that the bedroom was a little "damp" feeling. All in all-this is an outstanding property for a large group that wishes to gather and catch up and it was also perfect for our 90 year-old Grandmother who got the main floor bedroom with her own bathroom right across the hall for easy access. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay in South Haven and a time where the family could truly visit and catch up! We would love to come back sometime.

beautiful mature property

This was a great place for my family. 6 bedrooms with king and queen beds... we didn't use all of the bedrooms but I'm glad we chose this place. My sons' wedding was held at Black River Barn (a beautiful venue), and the rehearsal dinner was at the Ravine in Saugatuck, so we were in-between the two.. Thursday we had cocktails after they golfed, with some of the groomsmen. It reminded of when the boys were young and would come over after a big hockey game and all play together. They used everything except the pool that night... basketball, pool table, ping pong, fire pit and foosball. There was a lot of hoot and hollering so, I was glad we had no neighbors, and just like when they were small, I stuffed them into our SUV and drove them home. Saturday my husband cooked breakfast for the groomsmen and had everything he needed in the kitchen. The Property was beautiful, a lot of different mature trees. I bet it's beautiful with the fall colors. Sunday the little ones used the pool. it was chilly outside but the pool was warm. I was a great place to stay.

Beautiful property and beautiful, extremely clean home. Owners were quick to respond to a slight issue and help rectify. Pool was a big hit even though weather was not cooperative.
