About this property

Inviting farmhouse for your family getaway, minutes from beaches. Pet friendly!

You'll love staying in the updated, and full of character, South Farm property. The 140-year old home sits on 2 acres that borders nearly 300 acres of the south tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve, and is minutes to nearby beaches including the 1200-ft, dog-friendly beach at the north tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve (just two miles north to the parking lot, then a short nature trail walk). The south preserve offers hiking/nature trails, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and birdwatching. South Farm is minutes from the crossroads of Glenn, MI, nearby farm stands and breweries, and is only 15 minutes from the large beaches and attractions in South Haven and Saugatuck (Douglas and Fennville too!). The property comes with all the comforts of home, a spacious outdoor patio, fire pit, grille, Level 2 EV charger, yard games, beach wagon and supplies - you'll enjoy relaxing all day long. The kids will love the bunk beds and separate upstairs bonus room, equipped with a 50-inch TV ready for streaming and gaming (bring your own system). We love our place and know you will too.

Summer Vacation!

We really enjoyed everything about South Farm. The spacious kitchen to be able to cook breakfast and the occasional dinner, the outdoor patio, the fire pit, and the location was perfect for walks with the kids and the dogs. We were right in between South Haven and Saugatuck and really didn’t spend more than 20min in the car to get anywhere we were going. Would highly recommend!

Best vacation ever!

South Farm is outstanding!! Clean, comfortable, well stocked, and an amazing location surrounded by wildlife! I could not have asked for a better experience. Zach was super helpful when there was one small issue, and it was resolved quickly. Communication and instructions were clear and easy, and the house is very well thought out. I hope to go back again soon!

I love South Farm

As much as I'd like to keep knowledge of this gem to myself, I have to say that my family and I have had WONDERFUL experiences with this property and its responsive owners Zach and Rebecca. I could write a book about the many details that made the trips to South Farm so special, from the deer peeking out of the grass at us while we drank our morning coffee on the patio, to the bees buzzing around the lavender while we sat in the same spot. The house and property are not only very well maintained, there were no surprises. We could make ourselves at home there and not have to ration towels or think about a quirky appliance that didn't work right. Thanks so much Zach and Rebecca! We truly hope to visit again soon.

Super cute farm house

If youre going to the South Haven/ Sagautuck area with a decent sized group this house is a great fit. Its so cute and in amazing condition. It's out of the way of the bigger cities, which are only like a 15 minute drive away) so its nice and quiet. The hosts were crazy responsive and we'll definitely be booking again if we ever go back!

Home away from home

South Farm is a beautiful historic house and property. It is comfortable and well maintained and decorated. It is the perfect please for our family vacation. For us, that means grandparents, parents, and kiddos. The dog friendly beach is nearby as our hiking trails. The whole area has unique restaurants and other points of interest. We cooked at the house and sat around the campfire in the evenings. It was so wonderful. We highly recommend this place.

Wonderful!

We had a great time at South Farm! Everything we could possibly need was provided, the antique charm mingled with the modern conveniences and finishes were exceptional, and the quiet country lane to walk down and view Lake Michigan was a special bonus. This home is lovely, is as you would expect from the pictures, and exceeds expectation. So much to enjoy in the area as well. We would love to come back again!

A wonderful repeat stay

We had family members coming from various out of state and in state locations for our spring celebration. The hosts provided us a solid venue for this occasion. Their communication, instructions, and expectations were all very clear and responses to our questions timely. For us we also had the benefit of mild sunny weather. ( Michigan in the springtime you never get a guarantee) It was also very entertaining to watch the deer and wild turkeys frolicking while sipping morning coffee. Overall our family members all report the experience as “exceeding expectations”. Ease of which to gather at this location made easy by the hosts.

Perfect Fall getaway

This was our second stay at South Farm. Just as lovely for the family as the last visit. Cozy living room where everyone could hang out and play games. Big kitchen and dining area. Plenty of sleeping spaces. Lots to do in the area — and the nearly empty beaches are beautiful for walking even on chilly Fall days. Love this place — we will be back.

Farmhouse stay

This older farmhouse sits on an incredible piece of property, heavily treed with a plentiful and species variety of large, mature trees. We saw our share of deer, wild turkeys, chipmunks and lightning-fast red squirrels. We also enjoyed using the direct access trail to the nature preserve. It was a fun experience. Thank you.

Fantastic family trip

This was a first outting with three families and their babies! What a fun experience. We loved the farmhouse cottage feel and being in nature. Zach was super accommodating when we were trying to checkout with four toddlers, it got a little crazy. I'm glad I called him and he made me feel less stressed about trying to tie up loose ends on check out process. Thanks again guys such a fun family trip and memories!

Great Getaway

Our stay at South Farm was wonderful. Everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy oneself either alone or en masse. The nearby beaches were beautiful and the neighborhood was as nice as could be. Great kitchen and cookout/eating patio space. Perfect place to get together with family.

Family get-away

The house was the perfect set-up for our vacation with our adult children and grandbaby. We liked the location and enjoyed the fire pit, patio, and porch greatly. The kitchen and living area were really nice and well appointed. Our only real complaint was the floors were not very clean. We found hair on the upstairs bathroom floor and when I wiped up some water on the kitchen floor, my paper toweling came up far dirtier than it should have if the floors had been washed recently. Also, the mattresses were very soft. It might be time for some new ones. Other than that, we were very satisfied with the house!

Loved South Farm

We loved South Farm. It was so charming and inviting. We loved it so much we booked it again for next year. The property is beautiful. We got to watch deer from the kitchen window while having our coffee in the morning. The house is fully stocked with everything you might need on vacation including games for the kids both indoor and outdoor. It’s in a quiet area with a nature preserve you can enter from the property. The kids loved taking walks on the path!

South Farm is a lovely place to stay. Our family of three generations had a wonderful time enjoying the local towns, the beaches and hiking trails, and sitting around the fire at night. The house accommodated all 11 of us very well. Highly recommend!

South Farm provides a peaceful getaway near beaches and nature preserves — perfect for a family.

The South Farm is a lovely home and was perfect for our 3 generation family. We loved the walks in the nature preserve and the north preserve beach. We could view deer and wild turkeys in the meadow from the large kitchen window. We even saw a turtle laying it’s eggs. The children loved the tree swing, jungle gym and the fire pit for s’mores. The Glenn School playground was a real find and only a short drive away. Zach was very responsive to all our questions. Thank you! We would love to come back again.
