About this property

In the Trees- Relaxing getaway with hot tub! 400ft to private Lake Access!

Welcome to In The Trees

Recently updated “In the Trees” is separated from the neighborhood with old growth flowering rhododendrons and surrounded by woods on all other sides making for a very private getaway with unique views from every window.

INSIDE THE HOME
Nestled on a wooded lot in the quaint hamlet of Glenn is our Michigan retreat. Designed for intimate gatherings of friends and family, the home offers multiple porches, decks, glass nooks, and a 3 season room to relax and immerse in nature. The living room is well stocked with with cards, dice and games and a big wood table to gather around. In the colder months, you can warm up by the wood burning fireplace in the living room. Off the living room are two bedrooms with queen beds, and additional sleeping for two is available via the pull out couch with memory foam. There are also two separate full bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen is centered around a large 6 burner oven and is easy to entertain in. It's properly stocked with everything you'd need to make meals at home, perhaps using local produce from Dee's Farm just down the road. There is a third bed room in the newly done garage addition, there is no heat so renting in the off season is not permitted. No pets allowed.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
This home sleeps 6 guests
Main House Bedroom 1: King Bed
Main House Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
Main House Sleeper Sofa
Garage Bedroom: Queen Bed - GARAGE BEDROOM IS NOT HEATED

OUTDOOR SPACE
Enjoy the beach rock fire pit and Adirondack chairs privately located in the back of the home or fully unwind at night in the 6 person Nordic hot tub. The large wrap around back deck is a great place to lay in the hammack, use the bag set or play giant jenga. The 3 seasons room is usable all year-round, down to 30º weather with the radiant space heaters always on.

THE LOCATION
The house in just steps away from Lake Michigan. Walk 3 minutes down the road to find steps leading right down to the water! Heading north from the stairs you'll find over a mile of walkable beach. A short drive away is a local favorite: Wau-Ke-Na, W. E. Smith Preserve North Tract. The private lake access is shared with the homes in the neighborhood and is not open to the public making it private. Not only are you in perfect distance to the lake, but also to two resort towns. South Haven and Saugatuck are both a fifteen minute drive away, the best of both worlds.

Beautiful & Peaceful Surroundings

The home & the surrounds were beautiful & very peaceful but we felt a few things needed to be addressed. The place actually could have been a bit cleaner, there was sand in the bottom of the tub, all the glass tables out in the sun room had finger prints still on them even under the glass edges, the spider & cob webs outside the dining room windows and all over the deck were really bad and many of the window really needed cleaned. No way to get lights to turn on in the small hallway close to the laundry room, lamp on table when you come in front door on that table needs taken away its not usable, and finding those stairs down to the water was not marked and we didn't even find it till second day there and only because someone showed us. The grill igniter does not work at all and grill was very dirty. But over all we really did enjoy our stay there, sorry for the bad comments

Great place with a short walk to what feels like your own private beach

We really enjoyed our stay. Great kitchen, though we didn't cook! Next time, we will plan a grocery trip. The screened in porch was really comfortable with all the sliding doors open. The room in the garage was nice, but a bit of a pain to have to go to the main house to use the bathroom, but we knew that beforehand. TIP: The shed's lock code is on the sheet with the WIFI password. It took us too long to realize that and we could have used those beach chairs!

Family getaway

The home was absolutely “in the trees”, making it very private despite other houses all around. The interior is roomy & spread out with nice flooring & updated workable kitchen. Bathrooms are also updated with tile floors. Nice furnishings throughout with only one exception and that is lack of bath linens.1 each of everything was a bit skimpy for us so laundry was done daily. I am giving 4 stars for cleanliness only because the outside of the home has many spider webs attached to the windows & deck. Otherwise, the interior was very clean. We very much enjoyed our time in your home with our son & family.

Wonderful and spacious place in the woods!

Clean and easily accommodated the 5 of us. Close to lake Michigan and tons of deer. Could use a bit more parking space as we had three cars and would of like to had the cousins over but no where to park 'em.

Family vacation

We come to the South Haven area every year for our family vacation and this home was by far the best we have ever stayed in. Very clean, 3 minute walk down to the perfect sunsets every night, comfortable beds, plenty of space for our family of 5!

Amazing Home, Incredible Location

This is one of the best properties I have stayed at. The house is beautiful with a 3 season room, beautiful outdoor deck, and of course half a block away from the beach. The Jaqua Rental team was so communicative and helpful, they made sure all our questions were answered before we even thought to ask them. While the one bedroom being separated from the house and in the garage did break up group cohesion, this stay would be perfect for a group looking for some privacy as well. My friends and I absolutely loved this home and hope to return some day!! 10/10 would recommend

Family Spring Getaway

This beautiful, updated house was perfectly placed literally in the trees and within a short walk down to the beach. Don’t miss the sunset views!! We spent most of our time in the Sun Room, kitchen and dining areas. Outdoor decking made the hot tub easily accessible, so we enjoyed it at night and one morning too. We visited Holland’s Windmill Island Gardens one day, and area beaches the other two days. The bedrooms were all comfortable (note the garage shares the indoor bathrooms). As with any rental a couple of small improvements will be offered, but nothing that would keep us from returning. Lovely stay!

Great cottage getaway

My party of 4 women booked this cottage for a three day weekend (two nights.) It was perfect for our needs. Check-in was exceptionally easy, the house was lovely, and checkout was simple. The cottage has a lovely cabin-in-the-woods feel thanks to the assorted trees, bushes, and plants. We really loved the layout of the house with the two bathrooms, two bedrooms in the house, and one bedroom in the converted portion of the garage. The wood-burning fireplace was fantastic and easy to use, and the fire pit outside was great, too. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils and pots/pans, plus a perfect assortment of often-used spices and butter. We had our own, but the fact that they were available if we had forgotten them was incredible. The furniture was very comfortable and we easily spent our evenings chatting in the living room for hours. The sunroom and back deck were also the perfect places to relax and enjoy the scenery. I will say that our visit being in early spring meant that the foliage didn't hide how close the neighbors were, but it is a quiet neighborhood and there were no disturbances. We would also caution anyone getting into the hot tub to be exceptionally careful. The step down from the deck is a little further than you think, upon first glance. Lastly, the location is amazing. It is 15 minutes south to South Haven or 15 minutes north to Saugatuk. There were many restaurant and shopping locations in a reasonable distance.

We are 5 women of a certain age who were on a weekend getaway. We walked down the road to the lake and dipped our feet in the water. The hot tub was the perfect size for all of us to enjoy. Thank you for hosting us. We would love to return in the future.

Great location for walking along the beach

Nice place that is just a 1 min walk to stairs that go down to the beach where you can walk for about a mile - that' a big bonus! Also hot tub is nice, 3 season room airy and lovely, kitchen spacious and great for cooking and hanging out together. Note that there are trees around the house, but it is not a private or isolated property - you can see/hear neighbors' houses from the back and front. There is a separate code to enter the 3rd bedroom so make sure you get that before you arrive. We had some delays in contact with property managers, but they accommodated the issue with a small discount.

In the trees

The property was very clean, easy check in and out process. We were disappointed in the beach access. I have 2 children that wanted to hang out at the beach and the private beach is not what we expected. Would have been nice to have pictures of the stairs and the beach. Overall the property is nice and peaceful.
