Just 2.5 blocks from Oak Street Beach, Summerwood Cottage is your invitation to slow down and savor the best of South Haven. Whether you’re chasing sunshine along the shoreline, crunching through golden leaves on a fall hike, or curling up for a wintery weekend retreat, this year-round hideaway is ready to welcome you in every season.

Mornings here begin with birdsong and a hot cup of coffee on the back deck, where towering trees offer a peaceful start to the day. Pack a picnic and wander down to Oak Street Beach - Just a short stroll away - Where the soft sand and cool lake breeze are reason enough to linger. When it’s time to explore, downtown South Haven is just minutes away, offering boutique shopping, farmers market finds, and local restaurants full of flavor and charm.

Back at the cottage is where the adventure truly begins. Rinse off the day in the outdoor shower tucked next to the garage, then head inside to the cozy open-concept living spaces of our home.

Stretch out in the living room for a cozy movie night, where there’s plenty of room to curl up with a blanket, pass around the popcorn, and wind down after a day of beachside adventures. Our home's comfy seating invites everyone to sink in, whether you're queuing up a classic or just dozing off after a sun-soaked afternoon.

When it’s time to cook, step outside and let the grill take the lead. As the sun melts into the treetops and the sky turns that perfect shade of gold, the backyard sets the scene for an easygoing summer cookout - Burgers on the flame, buns lightly toasted, and dinner served al fresco with a side of fresh air and good company.

Craving something homemade without the grill? Just inside, the kitchen offers a warm and welcoming space to cook up whatever the day calls for - Whether it’s a slow breakfast sunny-side up, a quick lakeside lunch, or a laid-back dinner after the sun goes down. With full-size appliances, generous counter space, and all the tools you need, it’s set up to keep things simple, stress-free, and delicious from morning to midnight.

The dining table isn’t just for mealtimes - It moonlights as game central, where friendly competition and laughter take the spotlight. It’s the perfect stage for card sharks, puzzle pros, and board game champions of all ages. Whether you're building a towering stack in Jenga, rolling the dice in a heated match of Yahtzee, or teaming up for a marathon round of Monopoly, this is where stories are shared, rivalries are born (in good fun), and the evening stretches on without anyone checking the clock.

With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, Summerwood Cottage makes group getaways feel easy, breezy, and wonderfully relaxed. On the main floor, the primary suite is your personal retreat - Complete with a cozy queen bed and private bath, perfect for quiet mornings with coffee or winding down after a day in the sun. Another queen bedroom offers a restful escape with just the right touch of charm and comfort.

Then there’s the bunk room - Every kid’s favorite, and a secret haven for the young at heart. With two sets of twin bunks, it’s a cozy hideaway made for whispered stories, flashlight giggles, and the kind of sleepover energy that lingers long after lights out.

Downstairs, the walk-out lower level transforms into a cozy little hub of fun and downtime - A space where foosball tournaments break out, Pac-Man gobbles up ghosts, and the hours slip away without anyone noticing. With comfy seating for movie nights, spirited board games, and laid-back lounging, it’s the kind of spot where everyone naturally gathers. And when the day winds down, the final queen bedroom and sleeper sofa are ready to welcome weary guests for a well-earned night’s rest.

Step outside, and you’ll find a backyard that feels worlds away - Wrapped in tall trees and soaked in sunlight. Whether you’re lounging with a good book, watching the kids turn sticks into magic wands, or gathering around the firepit as the evening settles in, this little pocket of nature invites you to stay out just a little longer and soak it all in.

And because it’s the little things that make a getaway feel extra special, Summerwood Cottage is stocked with all the extras you didn’t know you needed. A Level 2 EV charger in the garage makes arrivals easy, while five bikes and a scooter are ready for spontaneous town adventures. There’s even a wagon loaded with beach gear - Boogie boards and all - For carefree days by the lake. And when the sun starts to dip? Cornhole and Kan Jam are waiting to keep the fun rolling back at home.

South Haven shines in every season - From sunny beach days and harbor cruises to fall color tours, winery stops, and winter skiing. With downtown just a 10-minute walk away and the lake practically at your doorstep, Summerwood Cottage is the perfect launchpad for your next Michigan escape. 

Don’t just visit South Haven - Live it. Book your stay at Summerwood Cottage today and let the lake days, starlit nights, and woodland magic begin!
