We enjoyed our stay - great property, location and amenities. The house size and rooms fit our family's needs perfectly (10 adults and 2 kids). We would have rated 5 stars, but there were a lot of cobwebs on light fixtures, ceilings and outdoor decks (all flat surfaces indoors were very clean though) and we had some issues with the water pressure. We would still recommend staying here - beautiful place!

Everything you could possibly want to do is available at the home or 5 to 15 minutes away. The bathrooms were nice and the beds were cozy. What more could you ask for??

Seemed like we were in the wilderness with a river for kayaking near the back yard but we’re only 10 min from down town. House is lovely and spacious- pictures did not do it justice! Accommodated the whole family with not being cramped- would recommend this property!

Nice location

Away from all the hustle of the city yet really close to town and beach. Quiet and woodsy with activities along river and ten minutes to beach. Nice get away with lots to do at the house. Loved the campfires in the evening.

Location was perfect

My extended family really enjoyed staying there. Having three levels of the house and full kitchen in the lower level gave everyone the privacy and at the same time gathering in the large dining room gave an opportunity for bonding. Canoeing/ kayaking in the river was fun and gave us the flexibility to enjoy it at our convenience. The beach was closeby and easily accessible. Overall highly recommend it.

Wonderful time in south haven

I had a really nice time at this property. It was really clean and well furnished. We had a great time with all of the fun things left for us (ping pong, archery, fishing). All who attend said the same, we would go back in a heartbeat.
