About this property

Private Nature Escape; Near Beaches & Pet Friendly

Welcome to South Haven! Home to beautiful beaches, great eateries, wineries & shopping.

This 3-bed, 3-bath secluded home provides an escape into nature. Surrounded by 10 acres of woods there is hardly another house in sight. Interior features high ceilings, new kitchen and stunning nature views; Perfectly suited for couples, families, vacationers, or anyone looking for some peace and quiet.

Location is close to:
DT South Haven: 3 miles
Kal-Haven Trail: <1 mile
Nature Views: From every window


This single-family home is located about 3 miles outside of downtown South Haven, however, it feels like you’re stepping into your own secluded world. Neighbors are hard to come by and the wooded surroundings immerse you in the sights and sounds of nature, where deer and turkeys will be seen more than any neighbors. The layout comfortably accommodates 8 people but can definitely sleep 12.

This ranch style home has a total of 3 bedrooms plus a bunk room in the basement. All 3 bedrooms are on the main floor of the home and the bunk room is a flight of stairs down to the basement: The master bedroom and the second bedroom have king-sized beds, and the third bedroom has one full-sized bed. The bunk room hosts the 4th sleeping space, equipped with one trundle bed and one bunk bed. Oh yeah, and there are three full bathrooms, all located on the main floor of the home.

Please note that we are in the process of moving some things around in the house, so the layout and some of the décor are changing.

South Haven Wedding ‘24 August

Hidden gem only a short drive to town’s most popular spots. Stayed here with a large group of young adults for an old college friend’s wedding. The house felt incredibly open and let in tons of natural light. Between the garage, large living rooms, and open backyard our group never felt crammed. The house also came with all necessities for the long weekend, and plenty of fridge space! Property manager was great to work with and very efficient with their responses. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful home

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Loved hanging out in the living room and seeing baby deer outside. The view would be absolutely stunning at Christmas time. Sits a good distance off the road and tucked nicely in the woods for privacy. Beds and pillow were very comfortable.

Tranquility and Location

Quick drive to downtown and to Gingerman raceway. It was an excellent location! The home was very relaxing, due to it being in the woods. The home had everything we needed and more for a fabulous vacation. Would stay again.

Great Hideaway Just Minutes from the Beach

We enjoyed our stay at the Private Luxury in Woods; Near Downtown & Beaches; Pets property. It was a beautiful property surrounded in the woods which really isolates it from the surrounding business of other towns. The house itself is very well done with a stunning kitchen, huge butler pantry to store anything you would need during your stay and full accompaniment of utensils and pots/pans. The master bedroom is massive with a gorgeous master bathroom. Having a garage with a ping-pong table and foosball table are big plusses for having stuff to do. The only downsides that we ran into is the basement seemed a bit dark and definitely had more humidity than the rest of the house, but it had 3 beds so it was necessary to use. Our check-in process was a bit ajar as when we got there the cleaners were still there so we had to wait to be able to enter the home. And then after our first trip away from the house for dinner, upon returning the driveway was blocked from those who were cutting the lawn. Other than that, you'll certainly enjoy being a few minutes via drive from a few beaches, while also being in what feels like a secluded hideaway among the trees.

Wondeful Stay.

We enjoyed our girls weekend. We stayed in most of the time due to weather and this was the perfect place to disconnect from eveything. Very comfortable and peaceful. Can't wait to visit again.

Relaxing getaway

House was exactly as advertised. Perfect escape from the city to settle in and enjoy some peace and quiet. Ample space made it easy to spread out and have privacy, but also nice gathering space in open living room and kitchen. Fenced in backyard was great for my dog. Beautiful natural light throughout, but when you need the lights, just know there are a lot of switches. I could barely keep them straight! Haha. Overall a wonderful stay that I would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and secluded getaway.

Beautiful Place

My sister and I had the pleasure of staying here for a long weekend. We were totally blown away with everything about this home, the pictures do not do it justice! Plenty of indoor and outdoor space, very clean, and so close to all our favorite places and rock hunting spots. The decor and colors inside were spot on! Equipped with everything you would need and so much space. Highly recommend this rental, you won’t be disappointed! This one is definitely on the top of our list.
