This property was very well maintained, clean, comfortable, and well stocked with conveniences. The cottage was just charming, with blooming bushes out front, that my wife just loved. The kids loved the firepit, the backyard, and the wide screen TV. At the end of the road, one block away, we could view the sunset over the lake, and there were stairs down to swim. It was very conveniently located to great beaches: just a 10 minute drive from North Beach South Haven (25 minute bike ride I took three times in 4 days !), 15 minute drive from Saugatuck, 30 minute drive from Silver Beach. Would definately consider going back next year !

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Hygge Cottage. It was a very functional, comfortable, and clean. It was a bit farther out from South Haven than we usually stay, so we had to coordinate as a group to get into town via car, but the trade-off was that we didn't have to book an entire week's stay. The change in location and scenery was actually enjoyable and it allowed us to park our small speed boat in the driveway and launch it from the ramps. Our only concern about the place was the sticky shower door and the potential for it breaking if it were to be pulled fully closed -- probably something that could be easily fixed. It was nice to have a yard and outdoor space, ability to build a fire (although we didn't) and sit outside. The property has two outside decks.

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.

MI Visit

My boys and I stayed two nights at the lake cottage. It was perfect for us. Located less than 10 minutes from the beaches, and from South Haven itself, we spent the days swimming and then went into town for meals. It was a great stop to relax and unwind on our way home. The cabin was great for us; plenty of space, very clean, short walk to the shoreline. Very highly recommended for location, quality of the property, and fantastic communication from and with the manager.

Great house, perfect location!

The house was the perfect size for our family of 4. Very clean and even cuter in person! Communications were clear and we had no issues whatsoever. The location is really great, it feels secluded but is so close to South Haven and an easy drive to spend time in Saugatuck. After a day at North Beach in South Haven it was just a quick drive back to the house to shower and change and head back to town for dinner (Three Blondes is a favorite). Close proximity to the house meant not having to rinse off sand and change clothes in the bathrooms at the beach - and that made everyone happy! Thanks for a great stay, we’ll definitely be back!

This property was adorable, i loved all the flowers, herbs and succulents. I stayed with 4 kids and two adults. We played games that were available in the house. We had a cozy little fire on our lastnight, and walked down to the cliff. This place was close to a bunch of shops and boat rentals. A couple grocery stores near by so we were able to cook. Would absolutely stay here again!

Cottage Getaway

Adorable and very clean little cottage provided ample indoor space for 3 adults. Open floor plan allowed us to engage and gather for breakfast. The bedrooms and bathroom are down a short hall for privacy. Kitchen is equipped for light cooking. Host thought ahead to provide items like coffee and tea, comfortable beds and plenty of towels to welcome us and make our stay pleasant. We did not have time to use the fire pit or outdoor decks this stay. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

so relaxing

Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to lake views. No access to the actual lake shore due to recent landslides, but you can walk there and watch the sunset. Super clean and comfortable home, with easy access to all of the regional attractions. Everything in the home was great; very comfortable beds and pillows, fully functioning kitchen with all the basic food prep stuff like pots and pans, utensils, etc. My kids enjoyed the trundle beds, and we had fun with some of the games and puzzles. The only thing is that the light switches are a bit quirky. Some of them don't seem to control anything, and I couldn't figure out how to turn on the fan and overhead lights in the bathroom. The shower door doesn't close all the way, but we just put an extra towel on the floor and it was fine.

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.

Hidden Gem

We have been using VRBO for years and have booked numerous accommodations through them. This little cottage house was 5 star all the way. The description of the listing is 100% accurate, which often isn't the case. In fact, the pictures don't really do it justice. Every room, every piece of furniture, and every blanket or bath towel was beyond comfortable. That can't be overstated. The bed was so wonderful (and we're picky) that we didn't want to get out of it! Suzy was an excellent host and immediately responsive to any questions. The house was IMMACULATE, so kudos to the cleaning company. Also, we like to cook on our weekends away and the kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. Again, we often don't find that to be the case in our rental experience. The location is great, with the house being on a dead-end road and not close to any busy road. The trees offer tremendous privacy. We highly recommend this property---you won't be disappointed. Thank you Suzy!

This was a getaway for my mom and I. A little shopping and wine tasting. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed and more. Such care for the guests, she provided bath soaps, spices, teas, coffee and so much more. We are definitely planning a return trip with the girls. 6 people can comfortably sleep here.
