About this property

A Cottage for Couples: Quaint, Comfortable and Convenient.

"The Lighthouse" is a SPECIALTY RENTAL for COUPLES ONLY who are looking for an intimate experience in a tranquil environment. It has a simple, at-home atmosphere that's fully furnished and decorated for those vacationers looking for that "home away from home" feel. It's located in a quiet neighborhood that's a welcome respite from the throngs of vacationers that pack the downtown area and beaches, but yet close enough within walking distance without the hassles of searching for available parking spaces.

The property abuts what is known as the "Celery Pond" area of South Haven that includes a portion of the Kal Haven Trail and State Park. The backyard offers the maximum in personal privacy with an expanse of trees and foliage that gives the impression of being in a forest. The deck and master bedroom provide an exquisite view of this soothing vista.

The home is spacious for two with all the amenities one would expect from home. On the second floor, there's a master bedroom with a sliding glass door and balcony; plenty of closet space with drawer space for incidentals; an upstairs half-bath with a shower; and a linen closet stocked with towels and toiletries. On the ground level, there's a "keeping room" equipped with futon (not for sleeping) and TV and the same spectacular view as seen from the master bedroom; a kitchen fully equipped with microwave, coffee maker, toaster, pots and pans, silverware, eating utensils, fridge with ice maker and stove; a full bath; a dining room that seats four; a reading room with a computer stand; a living room with ceiling fan and window AC for added comfort. There is high speed internet access and some streaming platforms are provided for guests on both TV sets.

The deck has a table with an attachable umbrella and chairs and a charcoal grill. A private driveway is available for parking but guests are not allowed access to the garage.

If you are looking for an intimate getaway for two, then perhaps this is the place for you. Our goal is to offer something unique and affordable for those who desire some quiet and quality time with a special guest while enjoying the excitement and amusements of a South Haven vacation getaway.

Please note: The hot tub is no longer an added feature of this property!!!

Nice Get-A-Way
The house was perfect for two adults. We could easily walk downtown. It was in a great location to go and explore the other small towns nearby.

Perfect South Haven home
We had a perfect extended weekend in South Haven. The home was in a fantastic neighborhood location, walkable to downtown shops and restaurants and even to the beach. Home was comfortable, well furnished and just right for our time there. Loved exploring farmers market, quaint shops and a fun cruise in a 1929 Chris-craft runabout booked out of the Maritime Museum. This home is just the best for a short South Haven visit.

The location was great!! Walking distance to downtown. The only downside was the washer didn’t work, I had to wring out my clothes by hand. And the smell coming from the basement.
