Dewberry Manor | Intimate Dog-friendly Retreat w/ Fire Pit, Main Floor Bedroom

Featured Amenities: 

Dog-friendly so the whole family can be together.
Large fenced-in yard perfect for outdoor play.
Walking distance to Downtown South Haven's local shops and eateries.
Game room perfect for family game night.
Dedicated work space for those urgent business calls.
Outdoor dining area for meals in the sun.

Dewberry Manor is charming and lovely and its owners took great care with the details when they created this sweet vacation space. From the book selection (all nautical flavor) to the retro cool game room, to the simple, clean design of spaces, you will love it here!

The first floor welcomes you with the dining table set in preparation for your visit. The well-stocked kitchen has been updated for modern cooking, but retains its early American farmhouse roots, and the cozy living room is perfect for winding down at the end of the day. The first floor has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a full bathroom, an office space, and a convenient laundry room. 
The cute-as-a-button 2nd floor offers 3 additional bedrooms and a full bath. You’ll enjoy the fun artwork selections and calming yet colorful spaces. These happy, sunny bedrooms will help you to start every day the right way!

Dewberry Manor is conveniently located just a few blocks from downtown. The expansive backyard offers plenty of room for the dog, or the kids, or the kids-at-heart to run and play - fully fenced. There’s also a firepit and a Weber charcoal grill for the best sort of summer nights! Or maybe you would like to be here in September for some extra fun - the backyard backs offers one of the very best views of the South Haven Rams’ football field - game night from the comfort of the house!

The Story of Dewberry Manor
“I discovered South Haven in 2012. It was the Spring before I got married, and I took a
pre-wedding trip to Kalamazoo for some girl-time with one of my friends. She took me to South
Haven to get some lunch, and we walked out on the beach for the afternoon. 10 years and 4
children later, my husband and I took our family to Kalamazoo for vacation and spent a day in
South Haven eating ice cream and playing in the sand. On our drive back to our hotel, we
decided, out of curiosity, to see what houses were for sale in South Haven. We pulled up a
beautiful 100-year-old house on Phoenix Street, just steps away from downtown, that had been
sitting on the market for a couple of months. We called up our realtor friend and asked if we
could get a showing before we had to go back to Colorado. We made an offer on the house that
week and spent the fall and winter remodeling and decorating our new vacation home.
Our favorite room is the game room. It gives us a place to play and enjoy family time during the
chilly winter months, and during the warmer weather, we love spending time in the backyard,
playing lawn games in the expansive yard, eating meals on the deck, and making s’mores in the
firepit.”
Much love - Amanda & Nathan

Spacious Vacation Property

Plenty of room in this very well maintained vacation home. We enjoyed our stay and were very satisfied. You are within walking distance of downtown shopping and the beach. The only downside of the location is that it is on a very busy street. Otherwise, great.

Wonderful home close to downtown

My family (myself, spouse, and children - two teens and two tweens) enjoyed this house immensely. There was plenty of space for all of us and it was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the fire pit and the kids in particular enjoyed the game room. Also, it was only a few minutes drive to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. Thank you!

Disappointed - especially based on previous reviews

The Good: The house has plenty of room for a family and is a short walk from downtown South Haven. It is pet friendly and has a nice fenced in yard. The Bad: There was significant dust in the house. The upstairs ceiling fans had a layer probably half inch thick. They had very basic assortment of items you may need in kitchen - but it was limited and pretty disorganized based on other houses we stayed at. There was dog poop all over the yard as well when we arrived. Based on other places we stayed, there didn't seem to be a lot of love or care into the house or the guests. The Ugly: You are right off Phoenix. We expected some noise, given the proximity to the road on the map, but on the reviews it made the sound to be not too bad. The "back porch" is on the side of the house with no sound barrier. You are probably 30 feet or so from the street. On my calls when I was sitting on the porch, people would comment on the noise. So it is loud - just expect that when you are eating or hanging outside. Inside the house, for the most part you cannot hear, but there are times when its really noticeable. The rental service has this automated messaging which is nice. I didn't complain and I just delt with the issues (poop, dust, missing items) myself. When I left, I let them know we left early and disappointed. They said I should have reached out sooner. I thought that was rather annoying and obvious. Bottomline, they should have had the place ready for a new guest come to stay.
