PRIME DATES AVAILABLE 300 FT.TO PACKARD PARK OR OAK ST BEACHES. CLOSE TO TOWN
Just a short walk 300 feet to two beaches and less than a mile to downtown. This cottage is located behind the house on North Shore Drive. The two bedroom cottage is great for family of four or 5, 2 adults and 2-3 kids.The cottage is located on 'The Golden Mile' which gets it's meaning from a beautiful beach that you can walk for miles and sunsets that are unbelievable. South Haven beaches were rated as one of the top 10 beaches in the Midwest by the Chicago tribune. The cottage is located across the street from lake Michigan and between two public beaches that are approximately a half a block away. The cottage was recently remodeled for summer or winter. The cottage has heat, air-conditioning as well as ceiling fans to keep you comfortable. A patio in front of the cottage with table and chairs and a weber charcoal grill is a great place to barbecue or just relax. There is a yard with a fire pit and plenty of firewood, which is shared by another cottage and the main house.
With various activities in the area, there is plenty to do. From boating, biking, golfing, wine tasting, art fairs and plenty of antiquing throughout the year. We are just a short walk to downtown for shopping or dinner. We provide off street parking for one car with additional parking on the street. Linens are provided, but you will need to bring your own towels for bath and beach. We are pet and smoke free.

The cottage was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. It fit the 5 of us just right. The location was great! We could see the lake across the street and walk everywhere we needed.
We had an awesome time here. Our family needed to use all the cabins on the property. We celebrated my daughter and dad's birthday and had a great time. The beach was very convenient to get to as well. We enjoyed the private yard and bonfire pit too. The owners were very responsive to our needs. Would stay again :)
Gary and Debbie were helpful, quick with communication and a pleasure to work with before and during our stay. This cozy cottage was perfect for our adult family of four to spend a four night long weekend.
Beaches truly are close by - everywhere and the cottage is situated so you can quickly access shopping, restaurants, the sailing ship adventure and Maritime Museum and a draw bridge. We highly recommend you try Clementines for the food and atmosphere and Six Chicks for great and reasonable breakfast.
This cottage was everything we needed as a family of 5 for a weekend in south haven. The 2 beaches across the beach were a quick walk even carrying our toddler and for our 5&7 year old to walk. We had trouble with the lock upon our arrival but the host answered his cell immediately and explained that the door gets sticky when it hasn’t been used frequently and we got it opened. The cottage was a bit musty but the owner had said it was sitting for awhile so we just opened all the windows and aired it out. There were no regular pillows in the bunk bed room but I found pillows and cases in a closet.
We’d use this cabin again 100% for another weekend at the lake!

If you are looking for a nice trip and easy lake access it’s perfect. We really enjoyed our stay!
Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids enjoyed this cozy retreat for a beach-centric vacation. The location was ideal and family-friendly. We liked the onsite outdoor dining and lounging areas. The main drawback was that there was very little floorspace or table space for luggage; the tall chests of drawers could be swapped out for shorter pieces with more counter space.

Amazing Get-away
We had a fantastic time in this great cottage near the beach! We will be back!
Great location. Very safe neighborhood. Beach was 5 minute walk. The house was a little small but we didn't mind. Clean and quiet. The property would be good for a couple.
Great time at Anton's cottage. Close to beach. Very clean. Even though there are three units on property, this unit has it's own little privacy corner w/table and chairs to cook out or sit and relax. Not my first time there and not my last. Thanks Deb and Gary.
If you love the beach, this is a great property. There are two beaches close by, maybe a minute's walk. Oak Beach is rather small, but Packard park was a good size. If you want something bigger, north beach is maybe a 5-minute walk. This is a little cabin in the back yard, and there is two other cabins/house on the property. You def have your privacy, but this could be an issue if you the other guests are loud. We did not have this issue! There is a 10 PM-10 AM quiet time. All in all, we would definitely go back. Check this place out, especially if you a beach bum!
The three beds and full kitchen were great for our family of four. We love exploring on foot, and the mile walk into town provided wonderful scenery this October weekend. Proximity to the beach for the cost will be hard to beat.
We took our 11 month old and nearly 3 year old to South Haven for a long weekend. Since the kids are tiny, we gave each their own room, and we slept on the fold our bed so we could enjoy a drink and tv.
The place isn’t the biggest for a family of 4, but we didn’t plan on spending much time other than meals and sleep there.
It’s a short drive to a beach with a playground and a short walk to more beaches. When you’re done at the beach, the backyard is great to relax and wind down.
Great stay.
Peaceful, Beautiful Neighborhood, Very Close to parks on Lake MI!
The perfect little Home Away from Home! Cozy, private, clean, nice décor, comfortable location to return back to over and over again. Enjoyed Lake MI, Kalhaven bike trail, hiking along Black River, walking out to Lighthouse, and of course the Bakery :) ! Thank You so Much!
My husband, a grandson , and myself enjoyed a relaxing weekend, exploring Lake Michigan’s shoreline. It was so nice to have a cozy, warm cottage to spend time in.
The cottage was perfect for the 3 of us.
We had a great time here. The property is nice and very clean. It is close to the beech and the distance is easily walkable even for a couple of middle age woman. (We go on a Halloween vacation yearly and are now in our mid fifties.) It was an easy drive from the property to areas of interest such as the light house. The owner had local travel guides and other info on area happenings which was very nice. We missed the part in the information about bringing our own towels and toilet paper, maybe because we are getting old, but we travel alot and this is the only place we have had to bring towels. (I travel for my job and I have never heard of this, although sadly have been places I want my own linens but it has never been a requirement) You also need your own shampoo, soap, ect so plan accordingly. The only other problems we encountered was this owner has other rentals in the same location so be aware of which one you book, we thought we had a deck but this was a different cabin. The beds were very uncomfortable, they made horrible squeeking noises when you sat or changed positions so that is the only real complaint we had. All in all a great stay and nice place to be. The owners were very attentive and answered questions very promptly. They were even very patient in explaining about the towel situation we should've gotten from the information they sent.
I rented this adorable cottage with my two friends so that we could relax and enjoy a weekend together in beautiful South Haven. The location was perfect for us to walk to the beach or check out the action in town. There was ample space and we were very comfortable!
