About this property

Beautiful log cabin with all the creature comforts of home. Private fishing lake

Escape to a peaceful log cabin in the woods located in beautiful Southwest Michigan. The cabin is part of a Centennial fruit farm with plenty of land to explore and a private 45 acre fishing lake. Spend the day relaxing in the cabin, baking, reading, sitting by a camp fire, reconnecting with loved ones, fishing, enjoying nature, and relishing the abundant peace that is present here.
It's in the heart of wine/beer country with easy access to many golf courses, Lake Michigan, nature trails, restaurants, and so much more. Come to this area any time of the year to take in the scenery and enjoy the local activities - golf, skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing/skating, farm markets, festivals, fall color touring, beach days, hiking, canoeing, and shopping to name a few.

The cedar log cabin was built for our Grandpa in 1983. The living area is open and inviting with a fireplace built using field stones collected on the family farm. It features a newly renovated kitchen with all of the utensils you might need to create meals during your stay. The cabin has central air/heat. Enjoy sitting on the covered front porch that looks out over the wooded yard which includes a swing set/play fort for kids. The back deck includes a gas grill (small charcoal grill is also available), table and chairs. Surrounded by a split rail fence, the back yard looks out over a wild flower field where deer are sighted almost daily. Spend the evenings by an outdoor fire (pit and wood provided) and enjoy roasting marshmallows and gazing at the stars.
Grandpa’s cabin has been the setting that holds so many wonderful memories for our family. We hope you’ll experience your own special times here as well.

Calm place to reconnect with self and with nature

I had one of my most awesome stays over two nights at this very peaceful cabin. It's a comfortable 2-hour drive away from Chicago and once you get there, it is peace and quite. The log cabin has a welcoming smell to it. It's very clean, maintained and stocked very well. The cabin has two bedrooms on the first floor, and a loft with two single beds and a double - perfect for a family of 4-6 people. It has the Fisk Lake behind that we walked to, but it wasn't yet boating time in early spring and we definitely want to visit again in summer to do that. There's the little town on Bangor close by that has a grocery, and South Haven some 20 minutes away for some great restaurants and walks along the pier. It also has the Van Buren State Park with amazing trails. Certainly a cabin we want to bust again!

Peaceful Retreat

This cabin is located in a very quiet wooded area. Cozy, warm, inviting, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. This was a nice retreat to get away and share with friends. We enjoyed walking back to the pond and seeing the views and wildlife including bluebirds and a Pileated woodpecker! We enjoyed shopping and eating in South Haven. We had a wonderful stay!

Great Family Gathering

This was my second stay at Grandpa's Cabin and absolutely loved it! I don't get to see my dad and brother as much as I'd like but we managed to get together for "deer camp". We used the cabin as a base for our nearby adventures and it was fabulous. Highly recommend.

Perfect Fall Weekend

This property is truly beautiful! The cabin is well built and stocked and very clean. The setting is idyllic, from the yard around the cabin, to the native grass and wildflower field behind, to the orchards and the lake—you can sense the love the owners have for the land. Fishing was excellent, and we saw abundant wildlife. Communication was prompt and friendly. One of the best stays I’ve booked. We plan to make it an annual event here!

Grandpa's Cabin

This was the absolute best place we've ever stayed. The price was cheaper than renting 2 hotel rooms for 3 nights. The cabin was rustic and so beautiful, we had our daughter and grandkids with us and they had a blast. It was located close to our relatives, on a lake with apple trees. We had the best time, can't wait to go back. grandkids with us and they had a blas

Beautiful cabin!

We had a great stay! We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and spacious, open layout main floor. The only small issue was that the staircase and balcony do not have spindles, so something to be aware of if you have small children. However, there is a baby gate available.

Country Oasis

We wanted a country scene for our stay in Michigan to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist towns. We were less than 30 minutes from where we wanted to go—South Haven, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor. We had so many firsts on our first family vacation, and this vacation was exactly what our little family needed. Thank you for the hospitality and allowing us to come and enjoy your little oasis—Grandpa’s Cabin!

Great place for us

This was a great place for our needs. We are three old friends who enjoy golf. We had plenty of options near the cabin. The cabin was perfect for post golf. The grill was clean and easy to use for our dinners. Our thanks to Susan and Pat.

Warm, cozy & inviting

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is spacious and well appointed. There are thoughtful details throughout. The cabin is somewhat remote, groceries, restaurants, etc. are a little far to get to. That said, it's location is very private and peaceful. Finally, we loved making a day trip to South Haven. Wonderful town!

Beautiful nature preserve and cabin

We needed relaxation and restoration and that is exactly what this lovely cabin delivered. Well appointed kitchen so we were able to eat dinners in but not too far from south haven where we were able to enjoy the art fair and beach. Lovely to wake up each morning to a symphony of birds and visits by deer.

Wedding weekend

This Vrbo was the perfect location for my sisters wedding at “something blueberry farm” down the street. The log cabin was absolutely idyllic and we would stay here again in a heartbeat if we are ever in the area. The house was great, the trails were beautiful and there was even a little playset for my toddler to enjoy. We also really appreciated the simple checkout process

Absolutely Amazing

Cabin was fantastic! Reminded me of our old family cabin, but with running water and electricity. I needed serenity and quiet,I got it. Check in was super easy. I will be bringing the family when we come to Michigan later in the year. Would definitely recommend this if you want peace and quiet in the country.

Cabin Getaway

A delightful cabin getaway with a gorgeous view of a private fishing lake. We enjoyed making fires and taking walks in the back. The cabin was clean and quiet, and evenings were not spooky with all the outdoor lighting around the place at night. Would love to return!

Belated Christmas Getaway

Staying at this delightful cabin was our Christmas gift to each other, and it certainly didn't disappoint! We loved the rustic charm of the place, but with all the modern day conveniences. The place was spotless, and we instantly felt at home. Our focus was to just hang out together, play games, watch a movie, cook together, and enjoy family time. We enjoyed walking to the lake and watching some of the birds. A deer walked through one morning. And we walked to a nearby geocache (if you want something to do within walking distance). I'm so glad this place popped up in my VRBO search. It was exactly what we were looking for!

Horse Event Down the Road

This cabin is located approximately 2 miles from the IEA horse event my daughter was scheduled to complete in. We chose this close & cozy place versus any hotel. A winter storm blew in as we arrived at Grandpa's Cabin...not only were we protected from the elements, we had a blast getting "snowed in". This place was worth every penny, and we would enjoy staying again...maybe when the wildflowers are in bloom. The host was very responsive, made sure we were safe, and had everything needed for an unforgettable trip.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Pearson

Host profile image
I, Sue, grew up on this family fruit farm as the oldest of 6 kids. It was a great place to be raised. When Grandpa died in 2004 he passed the cabin on to us. Up until 2022, we had long term renters. However, our family didn’t get to utilize and enjoy the cabin in that circumstance. Now my siblings and their families are able to stay there when they visit.
The part of being a host that I most enjoy is reading the guest notebook and appreciating the special memories that people had during their stay. Grandpa would be so happy.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is located on the farm where I was raised.

What makes this property unique

The family farm is over 150 years old in that the same bloodline has worked the land during that time. American Indians lived on the land prior as evidenced by many Arrow heads found on the land over the years.
